It is a strong growing plant, growing about 2 feet high, bearing endless spikes of golden-yellow fioweis with an orange lip, some- what resembling a Snap-Dragon. It is perfectly hardy and succeeds in almost any position. 25 cents each. Oreocome Candollei. The most beautiful decorative hardy perennial plant that has yet come to our notice.
