Hollyhock (Althaea rosea) 
Double. Fine strong roots in White, Pink, Rose, New¬ 
port Pink, Yellow, Mauve, Scarlet, and Mixed 
Colors. 
Single. These are apt to vary from the color parent, 
but can be depended on as reasonably true to color. 
Mixed Colors. 
Allegheny, Mixed. Mammoth flowers with fringed 
petals. 
Exquisite. The flowers of this splendid new variety are 
very large, delicately curled and fringed, and entirely 
distinct from the familiar double Hollyhock. They 
are peculiarly marked or blotched in colors varying 
from rose to dark purple, with white-margined petals, 
not unlike a pelargonium. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
IheriS (Candytuft) 
*Gibraltarica. Gibraltar Candytuft. White flowers 
tinged rose. Very showy and desirable. 
*Sempervirens. Evergreen Candytujt. A splendid little 
plant for edging which, after flowering, can be 
trimmed to a definite line, and will retain its at¬ 
tractive foliage over winter. Pure white flower-heads 
cover the plant during May and early June. 
^Sempervirens, Little Gem. A compact miniature form 
of above; a rockery subject. 30c. each, $3 per doz. 
Lilies. See page 29. 
Lupinus (Lupine) 
In June, just before the delphiniums flower, the 
Lupines dominate the garden picture. Planted in sub¬ 
stantial groups, they are at their best in early summer, 
and if interplanted with Auratum or Speciosum lilies 
for late summer effect, a permanent and effective all¬ 
summer display is assured. A deep, well-drained soil 
and sunny situation are the chief requirements. 
If affected with aphis, spraying with Black-Leaf 40 
combined with soap, is recommended, and if blight is 
apt to appear, a thorough spraying with Bordeaux 
Mixture in late May and again in midsummer will 
prove effective. 
Polyphyllus. Washington Lupine. Deep blue, pea¬ 
shaped flowers in sturdy spikes 2 to 3 feet in height. 
Polyphyllus alba. A splendid clear white form. 
Polyphyllus roseus. Beautiful shades of rose-pink. 
Charming if combined with blue. 
Polyphyllus, Regal Hybrids. A noted European strain, 
containing many new shades and colors, varying 
from white to deepest blue, light to dark pink, and 
from pale amber to bronze-yellow. Bicolors also 
appear occasionally; altogether a beautiful and inter¬ 
esting group. 
Above Lupines, strong 2-year roots, 35 cts. each, 
$3.50 per doz., $25 per 100 
Mertensia (Blue Bells) 
*Virginica. Virginia Blue Bells. A delightful spring¬ 
flowering subject that naturalizes perfectly, forming 
dainty masses and flowering profusely if planted in 
sheltered borders. Light blue, nodding, bell-shaped 
flowers, changing to pink on stems. The foliage dis¬ 
appears in midsummer. Height, 1 to 1 x /i feet. 
Nepeta 
*Mussini. Catnip. Produces cloudy masses of lavender- 
blue flowers from May until late fall if the early 
summer flowers are clipped off as they mature. The 
soft grey foliage, when massed, produces a cool, 
restful effect in the garden, and as it does well in 
dry situations or poor soil, it is used extensively 
also for major effects in the rock-garden. 
*Souvenir d’Andre Chaudron. Large light mauve- 
blue flowers on long, wiry stems attaining a height 
of 20 to 24 inches. Quite distinct from Mussini and 
better adapted for the mixed planting, flowering 
from midsummer on. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Pachysandra 
*Terminalis. Japanese Spurge. The best ground-cover 
for massing in shaded areas where grass will not grow. 
If planted 6 to 8 inches apart, the bright glossy green 
foliage will soon form perfect mats, particularly if the 
soil is well enriched before planting and a winter 
mulch of well-decayed manure 1 inch deep is applied 
each season. We suggest the use of pot-grown plants 
except where large quantities are required. Field- 
grown plants or plants from 3-in. pots, 25 cts. each, 
$2.50 per doz., $15 per 100; 250 plants or more at 
$12 per 100. 
Platycodon 
Double White. Very useful, tall-growing form with 
pure white, semi-double flowers from August to 
October. Excellent for cutting and very effective in 
the garden. Height, 3 feet. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
See page 34 for other Platycodons 
All Perennials, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100, unless otherwise noted 
Varieties marked * are suitable for the rock-garden
