Two Fine New Gaillardias 

 Mr. Sherbrook. This English 

 variety is the brightest of any 

 yellow Gaillardia we have 

 yet seen. The full, circular 

 flowers are of a rich golden 

 yellow with a pale yellow 

 center, unstained by any 

 other color. The large self- 

 colored blooms supported by 

 stout stems above the pale 

 green foliage continue from 

 early summer until late in 

 the fall. 



Ruby. This is a brilliant red 

 Gaillardia or Blanket Flower 

 having no hint of yellow or 

 brown in its make-up. Blooms 

 all summer long as do few 

 other perennials. Its vivid 

 flowers make a continuous 

 showing and the plants fur- 

 nish abundant material for 

 cutting. 



Either of the above: 



Each 35c; 3 for $1.00; 



12 for $3.50; 25 for $6.50. 



New Gaillardias 

 Ruby and Mr. Sherbrook 



Gypsophila— Baby's Breath 



These represent wonderful improvements on this old- 

 fashioned plant, possessing a grace not found in any other 

 perennial. When in bloom they form masses of minute double 

 flowers of beautiful gauze-like appearance. When cut they are 

 exquisite in combination with other flowers. 



Bristol Fairy 



3 ft. This variety when first introduced was quite a sensa- 

 tional novelty and has. without doubt, proved to be the most 

 valuable hardy garden plant in recent years. Has great panicles 

 of pure white double flowers so indispensable for cutting. It 

 also possesses the advantage of flowering more or less con- 

 tinuously throughout the entire summer months. 



Repens Bodgeri A 



2 ft. A new dwarf double form of compact habit. The 

 pink-tinted white blooms appear at least two weeks earlier 

 than any other double form, making it very desirable for 

 either garden display or cutting. 



Repens Rosy Veil A 



A novelty of European introduction similar in its compact 

 habit to the preceding variety but with flowers of a somewhat 

 more pronounced pink color. 



Any of the above: Each 50c; 3 for $1.40; 12 for $5.50.
