An old-fashioned favorite; its long racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive: it is used largely for forcing, and is perfectly at home in any part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in the shade. May; 2 feet. Formosa (Plumy Bleeding Heart). A dwarf-growing species, with finely-cut ornamental foliage, growing about 15 inches high, and producing its showy pink flowers from April to August. 25 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. DORONICUM (Leopard's Bane) One of the most effective very early spring flowering perennials. If placed in pots in the fall they can readily be forced into flower during the winter months in the con- servatory or winter garden. There are many who have only seen this as a single plant, here or there in a hardy border, and have no idea of the effect it has when planted in a mass.

They succeed everywhere, and should have a place in every garden. Clusii. Rich yellow, 2$ to 3 inches across; 18 to 24 inches. Excelsum.
