Hardy Phlox 
Liatris • Blazing Star; Gayfeather 
Pycnostachya. Nothing that you can plant 
will attract more attention in your garden 
than this unusual hardy flower. It blooms 
in midsummer and throws up long, narrow 
spikes of rich lavender-purple flowers on 
strong stems 4 to 5 feet high. A pecu¬ 
liarity of this plant is its great attraction 
to butterflies. The flowers make a splendid 
house decoration, not only in the summer, 
but can be dried for winter. Our displays 
of Liatris at flower shows last season 
attracted much attention. Strong plants, 
25c each; 70c for 3; $2.50 for 12. 
Lupin * Lupinus 
Stately and beautiful perennials, producing 
long spikes of beautiful, pea-shaped flowers. 
They are excellent for cutting, and bloom 
from June until September. We offer the 
New Sweet-scented Polyphyllus Lupin, a 
great improvement over the older variety. 
Plant them a foot apart in good garden soil, 
preferably in a semi-shady location. We 
offer four colors: Brilliant Red, Pure White, 
Rose-Pink, and Blue. Plants 25c each; 
70c for 3; $2.50 for 12.
