Vera. 3-inch pot grown $2 50 $15 00 



Twickel Purple. A beautiful new hardy Lavender which 

 received a Certificate of Merit from the Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society of Great Britain. It is far superior 

 to any other Lavender we have ever seen. The plants 

 are perfectly hardy and of compact, rather dwarf 

 habit. They produce a great many lovely stout 

 flower spikes set with exquisitely fragrant, deep 

 lavender-blue blooms from mid-July to September. 

 Height 18 inches. 3-inch pots, $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 

 per 100. 



Liatris — Blazing Star, Gay Feather 



Scariosa alba. The new White Blazing Star. Imposing 

 plants growing 3-4 feet tall with elegant flower spikes 

 thickly covered with lovely fluffy white blooms that 

 reach more than half way down the stems. Planted 

 in groups of 3 or more it is without question a most 

 effective white subject in the garden during August 

 and September. Also very fine for cutting. 3-inch 

 pots, $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



September Glory. An exceptionally showy type selected 

 by one of our growers on account of its outstanding 

 beauty. It has proved very popular as a cut flower 

 among the trade for the past few years but here- 

 tofore has never been offered in growing plants. It 

 is the showiest form of all the late varieties with 

 extra-long spikes covered during late August and 

 September with exquisite fluffy rich purple flowers. 

 A first-class acquisition for the border and for cut- 

 ting. 3%-inch pots, $2.75 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.

Lupinus polyphyllus 



Lupinus — Lupine 



Polyphyllus. Clear blue, strong roots.. 



— albus. Pure white, strong roots 



— roseus. Soft pink, strong roots 



Bussell Hybrids. The wide publicity 

 given to these new Lupines in all 

 the leading gardening papers of this 

 country and abroad is bound to re- 

 sult in a great demand for this out- 

 standing new strain. The Russell 

 Hybrid Lupines have proved the most 

 beautiful hardy Lupine ever developed. 

 A Gold Medal awarded by the Royal 

 Horticultural Society of Great Britain 

 in June 1937 is ample proof as to what 

 English gardening experts think 

 about it. The plants grow into well- 

 rounded, well-branched bushes, each 

 developing a number of extra-large 

 spikes closely set with blooms. One 

 of the most outstanding features of 

 this strain is the range of beautiful 

 colors — deep yellow, orange, red, and 

 brilliant bi-color combinations never 

 heretofore seen in hardy Lupines. 

 Mixture only. Strong roots
