Pentstemon, Firebird 



PENTSTEMON, FIREBIRD (New) 



This beauty came to us from Switzerland, 

 where it is known as Pentstemon Shonhol- 

 zerii. 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. Price, 60c each; 

 $1.50 for 3 plants; $5.00 doz. 



Purchaser pays transportation charges on 

 plants. If you wish your order sent by Parcel 

 Post, please add 10% to value of your order 

 for shipments East of the Mississippi River, 

 and 20% for points West of the Mississippi 

 River. 



TRITOMA, SPRINGTIME (New) 



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. It combines beautifully in the garden with 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. 



YUCCA (Adam's Needle) 



Filamentosa. The flower spikes are borne in 

 huge panicles of pure white flowers above the 

 sword-shaped foliage, which in itself has a sub- 

 tropical effect. Price, 50c each; $5.00 per 

 doz. 



VIOLET, Hardy Double Russian 



Entirely hardy, perfectly double, a deep 

 violet-purple color and most deliciously fra- 

 grant. It is entirely free from disease of any 

 kind, will grow and bloom in any garden and in 

 any situation. Nothing more appropriate for a 

 partially shaded spot under trees, etc. Price, 

 40c each; $4.00 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, 

 kjSs» the plant itself is a perfect picture. It de- 

 velops into a compact rounded plant about 

 gj|* one foot in diameter and about a foot in 

 jt . height. The foliage is magnificent, healthy, 

 and bold and about four inches in diameter. 



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 lustrous 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. 

 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $5.00 doz.
