Paeonia Officinalis 



This type flowers a little earlier than the preced- 

 ing varieties. The blooms are good but not quite so 

 perfect as many of the other sorts. Price of all 

 varieties, 35 cents each; S3. 00 per 10; S25.00 per 

 100. 



Officinalis Alba. Blush white. 



Officinalis Rosea. Bright rose. 



Officinalis Rubra. Rich crimson. 



PAPAVER Orientalis. Oriental Poppy. 3 feet. 

 Flaming, intense orange scarlet flowers. One of the 

 showiest of all perennials, and a great favorite. The 

 large cup-shaped flowers are very conspicuous during 

 June and July. 



PARDANTHUS sinensis. Blackberry Lily. 1 

 to 2 feet. Recognized by its blackberry-like seeds. 

 Orange flowers spotted with purple. Thrives well in 

 shady places. 



PENTSTEMON barbatus Torreyi. Beard 

 Tongue. 3 to 4 feet. Scarlet flowers that last a long 

 time, and evolve into seed-pods that in themselves 

 are attractive, and add a touch of color to the 

 border. June to August. 



P. Goerulea. 18 inches. Attractive blue flowers 

 in early June are borne along the stem in much the 

 same manner as the Foxglove. 



P. Diffusa. 1 to 2 feet. Light purple flowers. 



P. Pubescens. 1 to 2 feet. Dull purple or violet- 

 colored flowers, sometimes varying to flesh color.

In this garden Hardy Phlox reigns supreme, giving a quantity of bloom that few other plants can equal. — 



Design by Guy Lowell, Architect. 



Phlox 



Phlox decussata; syn. paniculata. During the dry, hot Summer weather, when vegetation generally 

 looks at its worst, these plants can be depended upon to brighten the garden with their brilliant blooms. 

 Possibly there is no other class of perennials that is more popular or which plays a more important part 

 in garden making. Although of easy culture these plants will give best results when grown in fertile soil. 

 The flowers range in color from white to the more brilliant hues of pink and scarlet. Like nearly all peren- 

 nials their beauty is best displayed when planted in colonies. Some gardeners even prefer an all-Phlox 

 border, but the beauty of these popular plants is equally well displayed in a mixed planting. Every garden, 

 large or small, has a space which can accommodate these familiar old favorites. 



Prices of Phlox, except where otherwise noted, are 15 cents each; $1.25 per 10; $10.00 per 100.

 sort that is especially attractive in colony plant- 

 tings.
