but apple or maple), and are suited to the rock 
garden as well, where they soon form most satis¬ 
fying colonies. The brilliant blue flowers make a 
striking display for some weeks in the spring. The 
price is 50c per dozen or $1.50 per 100. 
MUSCARI COMOSUM PLUMOSUM (R) (Feather Hy¬ 
acinth). Rightly named, for the flower is just a del¬ 
icate mauve plume, often eight inches in length. 
Don’t plant one—plant six at least for real effect. 
Fall delivery. 2 for 25c. 
NEPETA MUSSINI, (R) Tumbling masses of gray- 
green foliage as a foil for the clouds of lavender 
flowers. Nothing more satisfactory for liberal 
use in the rock garden or border. 10c. 
OENOTHERA MISSOURIENSIS (R) (Evening Prim¬ 
rose of the Prairie). Expands its gorgeous yellow 
flowers, often five inches in diameter, in late after¬ 
noon. Prostrate growth. 25c. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBELLATUM (R) “Star of 
Bethlehem.” Dainty rock garden subjects with 
glistening white flowers in early spring. Groups 
of six to twelve, bulbs should be planted in early 
fall. A special price to encourage this mass plant¬ 
ing. 50 for $1.00. 
PAP AVER (Poppies) 
NUDICAULE, “Excelsior Strain’’ (R) Exhibiting those 
new pastel shades so much sought in the Iceland 
poppies. 10c. 
ORIENTALIS PINK, The finest of this color that it 
has been our good fortune to see. Lasts well in 
water if cut just as expandnig. 10c. 
ORIENTALIS SCARLET, Immense flowers of vivid 
scarlet. They are often 8 to 10 inches across. Set 
in early spring or late August. 10c. 
PILOSUM, Good in the large rockery, but probably 
best in perennial beds, as the plant is very vigor¬ 
ous. Apricot flowers of large size in great abund¬ 
ance. 25c. 
RUPIFRAGUM, (R) A bit of orange silk wafted to 
American gardens from the Pyrenees Mountains in 
Spain. 1 foot. Likes hot, dry situation. Always in 
bloom if not allowed to seed. 25c. 
TREE POPPY, Grows into a fine shrub, large white 
poppies, with yellow center. 50c. 
PAPAVER NUDICAULE, “Tangerine” (R). This love¬ 
ly Iceland poppy has petals of deep glowing or¬ 
ange, swaying gracefully on slender stems about 
12 inches high. Extra fine for either rockery or 
perennial garden. Blooms all summer. 15c. 
PAPAVER ORIENTALIS “Crimson Belle” Dark, Im¬ 
mense flowers of rich deep crimson, held on strong 
stems often four feet tall. Distinctive and new. 25c 
PENSTEMON 
PENSTEMON MENZIESII—Rupicola, (R) Very dwarf, 
gray foliage, handsome red flowers. 50c. 
PENSTEMON OVATUS DOUGLASI, (R) The plant 
itself is a low cluster of burnished green leaves; 
the flowers deep, rich blue, changing to mauve as 
they age. They are borne in profusion on stems 
varying from a foot high in their mountain habitat, 
to perhaps three feet in exceptionally rich garden 
soil. An exquisite subject for either rock garden 
or perennial border. Give sunny exposure. Fine 
blooming size plants. 25c.
