To-day I add the names of a few more plants, worthy of cultivation, to my list of pretty Kansas wild flowers - to wit: Dicentra cucullaria, well-known to most botanists and not needing description. Schrankia uncinata (Sensitive Rose), with its little tuft of pink blossoms and sensitive leaves. Ruellia ciliosa, in two colors, white and light purple. Argemone grandiflora, a noble plant, sometimes four feet high, with light-colored foliage and large white flowers; they look very pretty when many are together. Salvia azurea grandiflora, sometimes stands three feet high, with large blue flowers in thick terminal racemes or spikes. Coreopsis tinctoria, with yellow rays and brown centres, reminding me, when I first saw them, of my grand-mother's garden in Pennsylvania. Liatris pycnostachya, and scariosa, - both of which are pinkish purple, in long spikes, - the heads of the first being very close together, and when dried make it look like a plume; hence its name - Kansas Gay Feather. The latter has heads somewhat larger; if dried in a certain way, both make splendid winter flowers. Some of the asters are very beautiful. There are many more that I've seen but have not gathered or identified. "Gray's Botany" will not do for this part of the country.

I have seen several discussions about glazing without putty, but none have spoken of my plan __letting the edges touch instead of overlapping.

1 have found that the house is kept warm as easily, and leakage from rain no more than from overlapping. Have others tried this plan?
