ROCKY MOUNTAIN WILD FLOWERS 
PYRETHRUM. Lady Mae. 3' A beautiful shade of soft sal¬ 
mon-pink, with broad, overlapping petals. One of the finest 
pyrethrums grown. Superfine in every respect. 35c each, 
$3.50 per dozen. 
PYRETHRUM, Langport Scarlet. This is the latest acquisi¬ 
tion in pyrethrums, with vermilion-colored flowers and 
yellow centers. 
PULSATILLA hirsutissimia. N. 8" With deep, lavender-blue 
flowers nearly 3 inches across, and numerous bright yel¬ 
low stamens. A rosette of finely-cut ornamental foliage. 
An early bloomer for the rock garden as it flowers before 
the snow is all gone. Does well in full sun or light shade. 
RANUNCULUS ovalis. Baby Butter Cup. N. 4" J With its 
brilliant green basal leaves, and large, shiny yellow flow¬ 
ers just as the snow is leaving, a rock garden seems in¬ 
complete without this little harbinger of spring. With the 
first bare ground in evidence, he pokes out his little blond 
head near a snowdrift as if seeking priority honors by 
shouting “already here.” 15c each, $1 per dozen, $5 per 
hundred. 
RYDBERGIA grandiflora. N. 6" With large yellow flowers 
over two inches across, the finely-cut leaves forming a 
clump at the base. Makes an excellent plant for the 
rockery. 
SEDUM douglasi. N. 6" A fine little plant for the rockery, 
with reddish-colored stem,s and greenish-yellow foliage. 
Bright yellow, star-shaped flowers, nearly an inch across. 
SIDALCEA oregana. N. 3' With conspicuous foliage and nu¬ 
merous fragrant, pink flowers an inch in diameter. Full 
sun. 
SOLIDAGO serotina. Golden Rod. N. 1' With its large 
panicle of feathery yellow flowers, and low growth, it is 
a charming little gem for the rock garden if not pampered 
too much. But do not let it presume upon your good na¬ 
ture, as in its airy grace it leans confidingly toward you, 
for if it finds that it is being raised a pet it will imme¬ 
diately proceed to hog the whole patch. But I would not 
consider having a rock garden without the little brute. 
20c each, $2 per dozen. 
THALICTRUM fendleri. N. 2' This is conspicuous for its 
grace and airy effect, resembling Maidenhair Fern. The 
small greenish flowers are like gossamer tassels. Smooth, 
finelyidivided, soft green foliage. Exquisite when used 
with cut flowers. Shade. 
THERMOPSIS montana. N. 1' Wiry stems with brilliant 
yellow, pea-shaped flowers in large panicies. A fine rock 
garden plant.
