While most of these are rock garden plants, it must be 
emphasized that each has peculiarly good use in other situa¬ 
tions, such as edgers, solid bedders, and accent plants. 
Every item is much above the average in quality or new¬ 
ness, and some are on sale for the first time this year. 
ASTER—A new race of very dwarf fall asters is being 
tried out. The best so far is a shiny pink one less than a 
foot high and spreading wider. Blooms exceedingly free first 
year, about frost time, and frost does not damage it. Hun¬ 
dreds of half inch flowers on a plant. Really new, and a 
gem to own. 50c. 
ACHILLEA NANA—A fine green leaved 2 in. creeper that 
can be walked on as it is so dense and tough. White flow¬ 
ers in June. Fills crevices nicely. Shade or sun. 20c. 
ARENARIA GRANDIFLORA—A selected long blooming 
kind of this 6 in. grassy leaved plant. Mother plant had 600 
white blooms in June, and intermittently until frost. Winter 
foliage looks like a small phlox subulata. Stands drought. 
Sun. 20c. 
GOLDEN ARENARIA VERNA—Excellent for the rock 
garden and between flagstones. Not an inch high. Very 
golden foliage and white flowers. New from Europe. 20c. 
Green leaved variety of above, 15c. 
BUDDLEIA ALTERNIFOLIA—Once in a lifetime we 
find a new shrub of outstanding merit. This wonderful bud- 
dleia does not freeze down. It is distinct in bloom, with 
arching branches covered with clusters of lilac-purple flow¬ 
ers from mid-summer until late fall. Reaches eight feet, 
stands sunny, dry soil. Deep tap root makes it hard to move 
in large sizes. Potted plants 75c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM AMELIA—A foot high and abso¬ 
lutely a mound of large pink mums in late August. Freest 
flowering, blooms from ground line up. Most outdoor mums 
here bloom too late to be usable. This August and Septem¬ 
ber bloomer is a “find.” Also called Pink Cushion, which is 
a good name. 20c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM CERES—A new type of early 
blooming long stemmed single mum. Yellowish brown dust¬ 
ed with gold is its difficult description. Really good. 50c. 
CORONILLA MINIMA—1 inch high creeping branches 
with pinnate leaves. One inch golden crowns of pea shaped 
ffowers in June. Sun, ordinary loam. New, rarely good. Fo¬ 
liage is intensely green during hot weather. 20c. 
LOTUS CORNICULATA FLORE PLENA — Somewhat 
similar to above. Flowers are double, plant is leafier and it 
creeps faster. Very green in hot weather when some plants 
look sickly. 20c. 
SEDUM ACRE MINUS—An absolutely dwarf sedum acre, 
quite a bit smaller than the form “minor” which up to now 
was the smallest available. Makes wonderful mounds of dark 
green. Yellow flowers in June. A new item from Europe. 
Very fine for a sunny rock garden. An inch high. 25c. 
STELLARIA LAETA—Flat, grey leaved creeper, white 
flowers. New, from the Rockies. Very fine rock garden 
plant. Small plants, 75c. 
TRUMPET CREEPER—A selected long blooming brick- 
red one with very wide trumpets. A very fine woody climber 
blooming for nearly three months. Small plants, $1. 
VERONICA ARMEN A—Best rock garden plant for all 
around use. Slow creeper with finely cut leaves that always 
look well. Flax blue % in. flowers in early spring literally 
covering the plant, with scattering bloom until frost. Very 
hardy. 20c. 
VERONICA PECTINATA—Grey leaved dense creeper like 
a larger woolly thyme. Rose flowers in spring. Dry sunny 
loam. Very fine. 20c. 
Last year’s listings are still available at same price, but 
some items are so nearly sold out it will be up to three years 
before a new stock can be worked up. 
For quick effects large slabs of plants can be bought very 
cheaply for plantings within truck delivery distance. 
Lower prices in 12 or 100 lots.
