SUMMER AND FALL 1934 SEED AND BULB CATALOG 
LARGER ADVANCED DELPHINIUM PLANTS 
Best Sent by Express Where Each Package is Handled Individually—Not 
Stuffed in Canvas Bags 
THIS IS THE BEST SIZE TO PLANT; they have already bloomed in our 
field this summer and will make fine clumps for next year, blooming abundantly 
next summer. All are of our PRIZE WINNER STRAIN. DELIVERY IN SEP¬ 
TEMBER and OCTOBER. Price 50c and 75c each, post paid, or $5.00 and $7.50 
per dozen by express, charges collect. 
SPECIAL CHOICE PLANTS $1.00, $1.50 and $2.50 each. The finer they are 
the more they cost. It is not so much a matter of size here—Quality counts. Give 
your preference in colors. 
For sale again in February and March, but this size cannot be shipped from 
our climate later than March 15th. If you cannot plant by that time, you will 
have to buy small seedlings for April delivery at 60c and 75c per doz. These 
will bloom a little in the fall—not in July. 
ANCHUSA MYOSOTIDIFLORA (The Forget-Me-Not Anchusa) 
A charming plant with the exquisite blue flowers of Forget-Me-Nots and large 
heart-shaped basal leaves. A clump of this beautiful plant is about a foot high, 
as much across, and a more beautiful subject for the cool rock garden or the 
border is not easy to find. Divided plants, 35c, by Parcel Post; larger, each 50c, 
by express, charges collect, $5.00 per dozen, and smaller clumps $2.50 per dozen. 
I should like to suggest to “An Amateur of Hardy Flowers” that the reason 
he fails with Anchusa myosotidiflora is that he plants it in ordinary, perhaps 
rich, garden soil. I put one or two in the herbaceous border, but quickly took 
them out, as they were practically all leaf. Now I grow quantities in the wilder 
part of the rock garden. In sandy, dry, poor, very poor, soil, and there the leaves 
are small, the flowers stand up high above them in sheets of blue, and they last 
for weeks. They are universally admired. A sloping bank of them with Dielytra 
formosa below and Grape Hyacinths among the latter forms a charming picture.

DIELYTRA SPECTABILIS (Bleeding Heart) 
BIG CLUMPS, 60c each for September and October delivery; have to be sent by 
express. Smaller, 40c by mail. Can also be planted in very early spring, but 
not after March 15. 
DICTAMNUS —- GAS PLANT 
One of the choicest and most valuable of perennials. The flower of Dictamnus 
resembles an immense Dutch Hyacinth. Blooms in May, when lovers of flowers 
are hunting new and out of the ordinary plants for their gardens. 
Dictamnus is valuable because beautiful, in bloom early and because it never 
winter-kills. The average life of Dictamnus is 100 years. 
Grows about 2 to 2 Ms feet high, bearing lemon - scented hyacinth - shaped 
flowers during May and June, with rich durable foliage. Crushing the latter 
creates some sort of a gas, which can be lighted with a match. 
TWO COLORS, White and Rosy Red. You will love this plant. Two-year-old 
field grown clumps of either color, 50c each, post paid. 
GYPSOPHILA—Baby’s Breath 
Does well in rather dry places, and likes lime. 
ACUTIFOLIA. Pretty and useful specie. Delicate lilac-rose or mauve (pink?) 
flowers. Height 1 foot. Per plant, 25c. 
BRISTOL FAIRY. A double Gypsophila of great vigor, producing large pan¬ 
icles of double pure white flowers and blooming throughout the summer, if 
the old spent flower panicles are kept cut. Mammoth roots 75c, post paid; 60c 
by express, charges collect. 
PACIFICA. New. A lovely tall rosy-pink Baby’s Breath; height up to 4V 2 ft. 
Seedlings this fall or next spring. 6 for 50c, post paid; larger plants, 3 for 50c, 
post paid. 
PYRETHRUMS 
The lovely Persian or Painted Daisy. No garden should be without a few clumps. 
They are vigorous growers. Advanced transplanted seedlings, $1.50 per doz. 
Clumps in assorted colors, 35c each, post paid; extra good double pink shades 
50c a clump.
