PENTSTEMON, FIREBIRD (New) 
This beauty came to us from Switzerland, where 
it is known as Pentstemon Shonholzerii. The 
flowers are foxglove-like in size, on stems about 18 
to 24 inches tall, and are a most beautiful crimson 
overlaid with an orange sheen. The plant is easily 
grown, is free from insect pests, flowers freely, 
creates a lovely effect in the flower garden, and is a 
cut flower par excellence?

GIANT STOKESIA, Blue Moon

stems are 12 to 18 inches long, bringing the large, 
vividly blue, disc-like flowers well above the plant.

TRITOMA SPRINGTIME (New) 
(Plant Patent 318) 
A fascinating new hardy Tritoma which flowers in 
late June and July. The upper part of the flower is 
rich coral red, the lower half ivory yellow. These 
sparkling and clear contrasting colors hold one's 
attention in a pleasing manner. Springtime has been 
tested for hardiness for five winters in all kinds of 
soil, and has weathered these conditions without any 
protection. We heartily recommend this novelty. 
It combines beautifully in the garden with pale blue 
Delphiniums or Regale Lilies in flower at the same 
time. A well established plant will produce as many 
as 10 to 15 flower spikes about 3 feet tall. They are 
very graceful and superb for cutting. 
Price, 65c each; $6.50 per doz. 
TRITOMA, Golden Torch Lily 
Tower of Gold

plant is very graceful and the golden yellow flowers 
are borne sturdily erect. Height, 3 feet. Produced 
from August to frost. 
Price, 50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
New Single Flowering 
Sweet Scented Violet, 
ROYAL ROBE 
This newcomer in the Violet world is 
by far the most beautiful we have ever 
seen. Unlike other varieties of violets, 
the plant itself is a perfect pic- 
ture. It develops into a com- 
pact rounded plant about one 
foot in diameter, and about a 
foot in height. The foliage is 
magnificent, healthy and bold 
and about four inches in di- 
ameter. 
Its chief attraction however 
are the glorious flowers which 
are the largest of any violet we 
have seen, they open flat like a 
pansy and are produced on 
long stems. The color is lus- 
trous deep violet-blue and its 
fragrance which of course is the 
principal characteristic of any 
violet is most delightful. 
A few plants of Royal Robe 
in your garden will furnish 
quantities of lovely fragrant 
flowers for cutting in early 
Spring when flowers are most 
highly prized. 
Price. 60c each; $1.50 for 3; 
$5.00 doz. 
VIOLET, HARDY DOUBLE RUSSIAN 
The Finest in Cultivation 
This violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a

Nothing is more appropriate for a partially shaded 
spot under trees, etc. 
Price, 40c each; $4.00 per doz. 
YUCCA FILAMENTOSA 
Adam's Needle 
One of the hardiest and showiest plants we have.

tropical effect. The large, white, waxy blooms are 
drooping in habit.
