Our Collection of New Perennials is Unsurpassed 
For the Hardy Border and Rockery 
Oenothera fraseri, Eldorado (Sundrop) —18". A fine new form. This plant bloomed with 
us practically all last summer, bearing a profusion of big yellow saucer-like flowers. An 
especially attractive feature is its habit of producing wine colored buds which surprise you 
by bursting into clear golden blossoms. Sundrops like a sandy soil and a sunny location, but 
need little care. 35c each. 
Penstemon barbatus Hybrids —2-3'. To those who have tired of the bright scarlet Penstemon 
torreyi may we suggest these new mixed Hybrids? Their two foot spikes of long cylindrical 
flowers come in all shades of pink, crimson and red, making beautiful garden and cut flowers. 
These hybrids attracted much attention here at the nursery last year and are well worth 
trying. 35c each. 
Phlox subulata atropurpurea (Moss Pink) —A creeping Phlox belonging to the same group 
as the very common “Moss Pink”—that sheet of pink which may be purchased by the 
square yard at almost any roadside stand in the spring. P. atrosanguinea has the same de¬ 
sirable characteristics of rapid growth and extreme hardiness possessed by the “Moss Pink,” 
but spreads its carpet of bloom in an entirely new color, deep red, much like that of the old 
B. Compte Phlox. This is a color almost entirely lacking in the garden in early spring. We 
highly recommend this plant. 25c each. 
Pyretheum roseum, James Kelway (Painted Daisy) —2'. The large single, deep red daisies 
of this variety with their bright golden centers furnish a wealth of color for both the garden 
and the vases throughout the summer. James Kelway was produced by the firm of Kelway 
in England, long noted for their fine Pyretheum originations. 35c each. 
Scabiosa caucasica (Pin Cushion Flower) —2'. Perennial Scabiosas are among the finest 
garden flowers. Blooming all summer, their large feathery flowers rising on 18-24" stems, 
they have long been favorites with the florists. They will thrive in any soil provided their 
one requirement be met; they must have well drained soil for they will rot when it is damp 
or heavy. This year we are offering as fine an assortment of named varieties as, we believe, 
you will find in this country. All Scabiosa varieties, 35c each. 
Amethyst —A dwarf variety with the deepest of blue flowers. 
Beauty of Eisenach —In varying shades of royal purple. 
Diamond —Perfectly formed flowers of rich Dauphin’s violet. 
Isaac House Strain of Hybrids —This is an outstanding strain of extra large flowered 
Scabiosa coming in all shades of blue, lavender and white. Furnished only in mixture. 
Perfecta alba —A snowy white variety. 
Scabiosa columbaria, pink —A new species from South Africa, a hardy perennial Scabiosa 
with pink flowers, 2-2)4." across, on long stems. This species has slipped into the lists of the 
leading growers of the world in the last three years, which is proof enough of its popularity. 
35c each. 
Statice dumosa —18". A valuable new Sea Lavender having a low tuft of leathery, dark green 
leaves from which arise a cloud of tiny silvery grey flowers—an unusual color in perennial 
flowers. Fine as a filler in bouquets. 25c each. 
Veronica pectinata rosea —This variety, although not new, deserves further recognition. 
One of the best creeping Veronicas, yet one of the scarcest. Beautiful soft greyish leaves 
and tiny spikes of deep rose colored blossoms. We like it. 35c each. 
Veronica teucrium, Royal Blue —8". An excellent rock plant. Low and bushy in habit, with 
sheets of dark blue flowers on short spikes in the spring. 25c each. 
Viola cornuta, Yellow Queen (Tufted Pansies) —In our estimation, the best yellow hardy 
Viola yet produced. An English introduction, having masses of very large golden yellow 
flowers all summer. We grew it along with several other yellow Violas including Yellow Gem 
and the English Ardwell Gem last summer, and it showed itself notably superior to all 
others, both in habit and beauty. 25c each. 
Viola, Arkwright Ruby —6". A clear, glowing, ruby red Viola of English origin. It blooms 
continually from spring to fall and the flowers are fragrant. Our plants are true to color. 
35c each.

Perennial 
(*'narante N e 
Even among the best of plants (which we 
believe ours to be) and under the best of care 
(which we hope you will give them) there is 
sometimes an individual perennial which re¬ 
fuses to establish itself and after a month or 
two of half hearted effort it passes out of the 
garden picture. To compensate for the dis¬ 
appointment which a customer naturally 
feels at such a loss, we will gladly replace, 
free of charge, any perennial which you pur¬ 
chase from us in the spring and summer 
of 1935, provided you notify us of 
your loss by September 
1st, 1935.
