ered Clematis sold 
for less than a dob 
lar. For the first 
time we have secur- 
ed a collection of first class plants which we can offer 
at a real bargain. Furthermore, the plants are pot 
grown, which lessens the shock of transplanting and 
increases the probabilities of successful results. While 
the stocks we now have are available, we will sell 
LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS AT 50 CENTS 
EACH, exactly one-half price. When these plants are 
gone, the price will be $1.00 each.

Chinese Fleece Vine 
(Polygonum Auberti) 
We have always considered Polygonum Auberti the 
loveliest and most fascinating of all hardy vines. The 
Chinese Fleece Vine is comparatively new and its un¬ 
usual beauty is just becoming generally known. Even¬ 
tually it will be an even greater favorite than the famous 
Clematis Paniculata. 
Growing fast, it will cover a trellis, stump or other 
support in short order. It will climb from 15 to 20 feet 
or more. The lovely foliage is small but so dense that 
it makes a perfect screen. The small, ivory-white flow¬ 
ers, borne in loose tasseled panicles, literally cover the 
upper expanse of the vine in a fleecy cloud of bloom 
during late August and September. The heavy festoons 
of flowers on the older plants are beautiful beyond de¬ 
scription. 60c each; #6.00 per doz. 
The Famous 
Evergreen Bittersweet 
The Evergreen Bittersweet will climb 30 ft. and cling to any un¬ 
painted masonry wall: stone, brick, concrete, etc. It is the only 
evergreen vine in cultivation hardy north of the Mason and Dixon 
Line. Like all evergreens it develops slowly for the first two or 
three years but when fully developed is magnificent. In addition to 
the lovely evergreen foliage, it produces when fully developed, a 
magnificent crop of gorgeous scarlet berries. 
It may also be used as a dwarf hedge to take the place of Box 
where Box will not stand.

PEONIES 
For years we have had a persistent demand for a red, 
white and pink Peony collection which would equal our 
regular $2.50 collection at a lower price. This year, as a 
result of a lot of work and study, we are able to meet this 
demand. So long as our stocks last we will furnish one of 
the finest white, one of the finest pink and one of the 
finest red Peonies for $1.25. In order to keep the price 
down, these collections must be packed by mass production 
methods and complete collections must be ordered and no 
changes can be permitted.

HARDY CARNATIONS 
The Carnation flowers which you buy from your florist 
are tender plants which must be grown in a greenhouse. 
For years there has been a persistent demand for hardy 
Carnations for garden use and the plant breeders have 
answered the demand, giving us three new creations. If 
the flowers are cut off, the plants will produce Carnations 
for you all season. The flowers resemble the florists' 
Carnation and are very lovely.

Foxglove (Digitalis). 
Long Spurred 
COLUMBINES 
FOXGLOVES 
(Digitalis) 
In England the Foxglove grows wild, but, not¬ 
withstanding this, it is a great garden favorite as 
it well deserves to be. For stately and picturesque 
beauty it is not to be surpassed, and, planted in 
masses, in the garden among shrubs or naturalized 
on the edge of woods, in the orchard or along 
brooks, it is extremely effective and satisfactory. 
Strictly speaking, excepting for the Shirley, it is a 
biennial, but, as it renews itself from self-sown seed, 
it may be treated as a perennial. Thousands of Fox¬ 
gloves have been naturalized in the Schenley Park. 
The Foxgloves will stand considerable shade.

For centuries before the Long Spurred Hybrid Columbines 
were thought of, Aquilegias were loved and cherished as being 
among the most valuable of all the garden plants. Now that 
the dreams of the plant breeders have come true and the Long 
Spurred Hybrids are an accomplished fact, the Aquilegias are / - 
even more popular than they were with our ancestors. Without 
the modern Columbine, it wouldn’t be a garden.

Everybody, it appears, desires a collection of perennials the flowers 
of which are specially suitable for making bouquets for the house.

to use for this purpose. Since it will save you the trouble of writing a 
special letter, we are printing the information on this page. The plants

Six Outstanding Plants of Exquisite Beauty 
Buddleia, lie de France. 
Pink Flowering Dogwood. 
WHITE FRINGE 
(Chionanthus Virginica) 
While the White Fringe is not new. the high 
price, $1.50 apiece or more, at which it was 
heretofore necessary to sell it, prevented it from 
being widely planted. Since we believe that it 
is incomparably the finest large shrub in culti¬ 
vation, we have for years endeavored to bring 
down the price. This year for the first time we 
are offering these shrubs for the unheard-of 
price of 30c each; #3.00 per dozen. 
The White Fringe in June produces enorm¬ 
ous numbers of showy racemes of white feath¬ 
ery flowers. The shrub in bloom is indescrib¬ 
ably lovely. The large, dark green foliage is 
handsome always. 
White Fringe, 3-4 feet, 30c each; #3.00 per doz. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 30c for each 
three shrubs. 
New Butterfly Bush 
ILE DE FRANCE 
N otwithstanding the fact that the color of the older Buddies 
or Butterfly Bushes was somewhat vague and washed out, giving the 
shrubs a rather indefinite effect in the border, nevertheless, these plants 
have been for years the most popular shrubs in cultivation. However, the weak 
color was a standing challenge to plant breeders. Sooner or later some hybrid¬ 
ist would meet the issue and produce a really first class Butterfly Bush. 
This has now been accomplished and He De France is the answer. Its color 
is real and substantial, a brilliant rosy purple with a violet suffusion that actual¬ 
ly stands out and is visible in the landscape. In addition the flowers are fra¬ 
grant, which is also new among the Butterfly Bushes. The individual flower 
spikes are very large, measuring 10 inches in length. The shrubs develop into 
well branched symmetrical bushes 31/2 to 4 feet tall. A truly great creation. Pot 
grown plants 40c each; #4.00 per dozen. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 12c for each three plants. 
Vitex Macrophylla 
A dainty shrub growing be¬ 
tween 5 and 6 ft. with branch¬ 
ing spikes of lovely lavender- 
blue flowers in September. 
The star-shaped gray-green 
leaves are most attractive. One 
of the loveliest shrubs in cul¬ 
tivation but seldom seen be¬ 
cause very few people know 
how really worth while it is. 
#1.00 each; #10.00 per dozen. 
AZALEA MOLLIS 
Years ago when Azalea Mollis were import¬ 
ed and sold for a dollar a piece up, they were 
planted by the millions and were the most pop¬ 
ular shrubs in existence. Quarantine 37 stopped 
the planting of them. Of course, people wanted 
them as much as ever but when the prices 
jumped to eight, ten and even twenty-five dol¬ 
lars each, few could afford to plant them. 
For fifteen years we have waited to give you 
these lovely plants at a price somewhere within 
reason but it was not until this year that we 
were successful, and the price is less than it was 
twenty-five years ago. The plants are sturdy 
and bushy and set with bloom buds. The flow¬ 
ers, 2l/ 2 to 3 inches in diameter, appear in 
bunches at the ends of the shoots. 
Azalea Mollis should be planted in an acid 
or neutral soil in a semi-shaded position. 
Azalea Mollis. 8-11 inches, B&B, mixed yellow 
and peach shades, 60c each; #6.00 per dozen. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 29c for each

First there develops lovely pink buds bV 
which open into glorious clusters of pure 
white flowers, which remain fresh and 
clean for an unusually long time. While the 
plant is in bloom it gives off a delicate and 
delicious sweet scent. A medium sized 
shrub which seldom grows more than five 
feet, and blooms in May and June. 2-3 ft.,

Pink Flowering Dogwood 
Though a single plant of the pink flowering Dog¬ 
wood in full bloom is an unforgettable sight, to see 
a mass of these plants blooming, as the writer did 
one balmy spring day while driving in the out¬ 
skirts of Erie, Pennsylvania, is something which 
makes one pause, gasping in astonishment and ad¬ 
miration. Nothing more lovely can be imagined. In 
general habit the pink flowering Dogwood resem¬ 
bles our native white form, which is universally ac¬ 
claimed as one of the most beautiful plants in the 
world. It has the same fleecy cloudlike mass of flow¬ 
ers excepting only for the lovely pink color of the 
blooms. 2-3 ft., B&B plants #1.25 each.

DAPHNE CNEORUM 
The Qarland Flower 
Throughout the late depression there was 
only one plant in the entire list the sales of 
which did not fall off. Every year, without ex¬ 
ception, we have sold every first class Daphne 
we had. When one knows Daphne this is not 
to be wondered at since it is about the love¬ 
liest plant that grows out of the ground. 
The Daphne is a dwarf, trailing evergreen 
shrub which never grows above a foot tall. It 
is absolutely the finest plant in existence for 
rock gardens. It is the loveliest thing imagin¬ 
able for edging evergreen or other plantings. 
In bloom it is cov¬ 
ered with inde¬ 
scribably beautiful 
soft pink flowers 
and it usually 
blooms twice and 
sometimes three 
times a year. 
These are prop¬ 
erly grown balled 
and burlapped 
plants of the finest 
quality and cannot 
be mailed. 
GORGEOUS SCOTCH HEATHER 
Praised for centuries in our songs and beloved by our poets, the lovely Scotch Heather has 
not been widely planted in the United States, first because it has been expensive and, second, 
because many of the varieties have not been reliably hardy. For a number of years a famous 
plantsman has been testing Heather and we have been watching his experiments. Hardy va¬ 
rieties have finally been developed; plants which stood thirty degrees below zero during the 
terrible winter of 1933-1934 without damage. 
These same varieties withstood the fearful 
drought of last summer without injury. There 
is now no reason why these lovely plants 
should not be planted, since the cost is now 
less than some of the common things. 
The lovely Scotch Heather may be used as 
groups in the perennial border, as edgings for 
planting, in front of evergreen plantings in¬ 
cluding Broad-Leaved Evergreens. They are 
quite wonderful in rockeries. 
Calluna vulgaris (Scotch Heather). Masses of love¬ 
ly pink bell-shaped flowers. 
C. vulgaris aurea. The foliage is golden in summer 
and red in winter. 
C. Hammondi. Magnificent pink flowers. The shrub

Sensation. Blazing scarlet-crimson blooms, perfect in bud and flower. 
Sweetly scented.

ROSES 
(Everblooming or Monthly Roses) 
T HE temble winter of 1934 followed by the fearful 
drought of last summer destroyed about half the 
production of northern grown roses. As never be¬ 
fore we will be flooded both with soft roses from the 
south, and the wornout junk from the wholesale cut- 
flower grower’s benches. For really good roses the sky 
promises to be the limit on price. We have a few 
thousand northern grown 2-year, No. 1 roses, the best 
grade obtainable, and we do not believe in taking ad¬ 
vantage of our customers just because we can. Our 
prices are always lower than they need be: our business 
is built on this policy.
