Water gardens. THE BOOK OF WATER GARDENING Chelone glabra reaches a height of from one to two feet; the flowers are white being often tinted rose. Chelone Lyoni grows about two feet high and bears rosy purple flowers. Chelone obliqua (Turtle's Mead) grows to a height of from one to two feet. The tlowers arc deep rose borne in close terminal spikes. The Chelones like wet soil and do not thrive in dry locations; they flower frcclv and keep on blooming until late Summer. They are increased by dividing the plants in Fall, by seed, and by cuttings of the young The flo^ CLEMATIS PANICULATA borne in the greatest profusion, forming a dense white mass of fragrant blossoms Clematis paniculata is a splendid vine to run over a rock, stump, or to ramble over a rustic bridge or tree. It is the best of the small flowered Clematises, often growing, when well established, fifteen feet in a single season. The flowers are borne in the greatest profusion forming a dense white mass of fragrant blossoms. It blooms in August, remaining in good condition for several weeks. Propagation is effected by seed sown outdoors in Fall when ripe, or in a cool greenhouse or frame. Commelina Virginica is a beautiful native plant, excellent for naturalizing purposes. The flowers are pale sky blue in color. It should be planted in damp, rich soil, and is propagated by seed or cuttings. Dicentra spectabilis, the Bleeding Heart of the old-fashioned garden, is a plan: that should always be included. It thrives well in a light rich soil, moist [148].
