ANNUAL ANCHUSA 
(BLUE BIRD) 
The perennial Anchusa, in its highest development, 
the Dropmore variety, is deservedly popular by its lovely 
bright blue flowers. This esteem is now shared by the 
annual Anchusa, which grows about 18 in. high, is of 
compact habit, and bears its flowers in a luxuriant bou- 
quet at the top. of the plant. The latter are of a vivid 
indigo blue and of brilliant effect for the decoration of 
beds and borders. Pkt., 15c. 
ANCHUSA ITALICA 
(PERENNIAL—“DROPMORE” VARIETY) 
A fine, large, hardy, herbaceous plant; 4 to 5 ft. high. 
This new ‘“Dropmore” variety is a great improvement on 
the type, the beautiful Forget-Me-Not-like flowers being 
much larger than others and of a lovely Gentian blue 
produced in long, loose sprays. Invaluable for the hardy 
border, as flowers are produced during the entire season 
and until late in the fall. Pkt., 10c. 
TESTIMONIAL 
May 23, 1931 
Your Columbines are by far the finest I have ever 
seen, and I plant new seed every year and have a 
beautiful bed of them. 
Also the Pansies raised from your seed are beau- 
tiful, and so large. My plants are all blooming fine 
now.

(COLUMBINE) 
Columbines are among the most beautiful of 
early summer flowering perennials; the New Long 
Spurred varieties being marvels of beauty, and 
should find a place in every garden. They are 
very effective in the herbaceous border, remaining 
in bloom a long season. The cut flowers are in- 
valuable for vases and table decoration. 
Seed sown early in spring will in most cases 
flower the first season, or if planted late in sum- 
mer will make strong plants for the following 
year. They are perfectly hardy.
