When You Order Doronicum Excelsum That’s Another Good Cut Flower 
Erica or Calluna - Heather 
Nice Field Grown 
These plants were never before offered at prices as low as our present quo¬ 
tations. They have always been scarce and, high priced. When new material is 
introduced, we purchase it at a high price and propagate quantities so in turn 
we can sell to our customers at low prices. In getting our assortment of Ericas 
together we propagated the hardiest varieties. We have good quantities of all 
these listed. We hope that you will take special interest in them. They are very 
beautiful. They are still quite rare and are entirely new to the average garden 
lover. 
On account of their evergreen foliage and some varieties producing flowers 
from early spring until very late in the 1 fall, they are one of the most desirable 
plants for edging Rhododendron plantings and placing in rock gardens into semi¬ 
shade or full shade. In other words they fit into locations where it is very hard 
to make the average plant do well. They thrive in almost any type of soil. 
DIGITALIS 
Foxglove 
For stately and picturesque beauty it 
is not to be surpassed, and, planted in 
masses in the garden among shrubs or 
naturalized on the edge of woods, in 
the orchards or along brooks, it is ex¬ 
tremely effective and satisfactory. It is 
a biennial, but, as it renews itself from 
self-sown seed, it may be treated as a 
perennial.

genuine “Shirley” production of extraor¬ 
dinary size and vigor growing 5 to 6 
feet tall. The flower heads are over 
3 feet long, crowded with big bell¬
