(CAMPANULAS — Continued) 
Rainerii. A choice alpine making mats of foliage only an inch high and bear¬ 
ing large China-blue flowers on 2 in. stems. A most charming species. Must 
have a N. or E. exposure and must never be allowed to get dry. See cut, page 30. 
75 cts. each. 
Rotundifolia is a very variab’e species. In the form I offer the bells are 
larger than usual and of a fine deep blue. It is seldom out of flower from 
spring until late fall. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts. 
CERATOSTIGMA Plumbaginoides (larptentae) is one of the finest late flow¬ 
ering rock or border plants. It makes a close mass a few inches high and has 
many handsome plumbago blue flowers in late summer and fall. Sit., sun or 
light shade. Soil, any loam and, if rather moist, better. PI., fall or spring. 25 
cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
CONVOLVULUS Mauritanicus is one of the very best of all rock plants— 
perhaps better with fair moisture—but does well with heat and less. It makes a 
low mat as much as 18 inches across and will drape a wall somewhat; flowers 
for a very long period with lovely blue flowers and never becomes a nuisance. 
I am for its inclusion with the finest twelve rock plants. It is fully hardy south 
of Philadelphia and has done well in Mr. Lown’s Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) garden. 
Invaluable for the Pacific Coast. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
COPTIS laciniata is 6 inches high, the glossy bright green leaves are stem¬ 
less, trifoliate from the ground, and deeply cut and fern-like. A most lovely 
foliage plant for shade and woodland soil. Hardy anywhere. 25 cts. each; 
3 for 60 cts. 
CORYDALIS cheilanthifolius, a close relative of the Bleeding Heart, makes 
small quite leafy clumps of fern-like foliage about six inches high of a pleasing 
glaucous green much tinted with red. Prefers a rich, well drained soil and does 
well either in sun or shade. Flowers yellow. A most dainty foliage mass through¬ 
out the year. Each 40 cts. 
Lutea has light green, fernlike foliage a foot high and pretty yellow flowers 
borne through a long period. Dainty. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts. 
DAPHNE Cneorum. I can supply this beautiful spreading shrub in all sizes. 
Write for prices. Small plants, 75 cts. each. 
DELPHINUMS furnish some unusually fine rock garden subjects and choicest 
of all are the West American species which are perfectly adapted to the pur¬ 
pose. Only the low-growing sorts should be used. All of them ripen to the 
ground after flowering just like bulbs do and should be perfectly hardy. The 
little roots may be dug and stored dry until the following spring or if left in 
ground the position should be marked so that the invisible roots will not be 
disturbed. 
Columbianum forms a very symmetrical little plant 6 inches high, with many 
very fine, deep-blue flowers. Often fragrant. 
Hesperium. (“Lake Co.”) Grows to 3 feet with erect branching stems and 
medium blue flowers. 20 cts. each; 3 for 40 cts.; $1.25 per doz. 
Hesperium Lavender is like type but with flowers in varied shades of lavender. 
Same price. 
Menziezii is a gem, something like Colu7nl)ianum, much branched from the 
base and with glossy, deep green leaves and very large, deep blue flowers. 
Parryii. A slender species 1 to 2 feet high with pleasing blue flowers with 
contrasting white sepals. 20 cts. each; 3 for 40 cts. 
Variegatum is IV 2 to 2 ft. high and a most lovely shade of deep blue. One of 
the finest of our wild sorts. Flowers very early. 20 cts. each; 3 for 40 cts.; 
$1.25 per dozen. 
Variegatum Dwf. Form On single stems 8 inches high, this bears a spike of 
very deepest, pure blue flowers. 
Species: Dwarf unnamed. A lovely very low species from Oregon, 4 inches 
high, with large rich blue flowers and hairy foliage. 20 cts. each; 3 for 40 cts.; 
$1.25 per doz. 
Price of either of above is 20 cts. each; 3 for 40 cts.; $1.25 per doz. 
These little Larkspurs are among the most admired individuals in my rock 
garden.
