New Early Flowering GypSOphila Ehrlei 



Gypsophila Khrlei surpasses any that has ever been introduced. It is a distinct new 

 form, early, pure white, double-flowering and not a variety of the plentiful Gypsophila 

 paniculata 11. pi. An additional feature of this novelty is that its largest crop of flowers 

 is produced before paniculata begins to bloom. After the main crop has been cut, 

 flower spikes still make their appearance until frost. It is far superior to Gypsophila 

 pan.fl.pl. because of the enormous size of its pure white flowers. Flowers were cut as 

 late as November 15th. Strong field-grown, grafted plants. 60c. each; $6.00 per doz.

These are the only sorts which are reliably hardy in the Northern states. They are 

 sometimes called '"Button" Chrysanthemums. The proper way to' grow this type is to 

 allow the plant to make as many shoots as possible, fty disbudding, nice flowers two 

 inches and more in diameter can be had. They do wonderfully weft in most parts of 

 the country. We offer six of the leading varieties. Prices. 35c. each. Set of six for $2.00. 



Rudbeckia, "Golden Glow' 



The most popular ever-blooming hardy plant grown. Covered during the season 

 with masses of rich golden-yellow double flowers, resembling Chrysanthemums. It 

 attains a height of from 6 to X feet, and a small plant set out in the spring will produce 

 hundreds of blossoms. Price, 35c. each. $3.50 per doz.

Rock Garden Plants 



The construction of a Rock Garden is very simple, especially where stones are 

 plentiful. 



Often, after clearing up new grounds, masses of stones will be present which would 

 be difficult to dispose of. and these can be used to good advantage. 



Select a partially shaded location where the ground has ordinary moisture and is 

 well-drained. Begin by placing the stones so as to allow the moisture from rains to 

 run into the garden and not away from it. After placing a stone in position, work 

 the soil in well around it in order to allow the moisture to work up among the stones 

 and give the proper conditions for growing rock plants. Any air spaces that art- 

 left between the stones will prevent an even degree of moisture in the garden. 



Rock gardens can be made any height desired, but are usually not more than 10 to 

 15 inches above the surrounding ground. When building the upper course, be sure 

 that planting spaces 8 to 10 inches in diameter are left so that a number of plants 

 can be planted on the top. 



We can supply suitable plants for rock gardens, our selection of varieties, at $3.50 

 per dozen or $25.00 per hundred. For a garden 6x6 feet, 50 plants would be required.
