Gypsophila repens 
HEUCHERA sanguinea ( Coralbells ). A very nice plant 
for the flower border and rockery. The dainty, graceful 
racemes of crimson flowers are excellent when used 
with other flowers for decorative purposes. They re¬ 
quire a rich, well-drained soil, and will grow in semi¬ 
shade or full sunlight. Height about 18 in. 
HIBISCUS ( Marshmallows ). A sunny place should be 
found in every garden for these effective plants. The 
foliage is deeply cut making the plants highly attrac¬ 
tive. They bear large, crimson pink and white flowers 
during August and September. Height 5 ft. 
HOLLYHOCKS ( Althaea rosea). No old-fashioned garden 
is complete without Hollyhocks. When well grown, 
their stately spikes produce bold effects that can not be 
surpassed by any other flower. We have a good collec¬ 
tion of double flowers. Among them are: Newport 
Pink, Double Yellow, Double White, Double 
Red, and Double Peach. 
IBERIS gibraltarica ( Hardy Candytuft). A stocky plant 
with dark green foliage. During June it is a mass of 
lilac flowers. Fine for the rockery or for edging bor¬ 
ders. The Candytuft will grow well in ordinary soil, 
but requires full sunshine. Height 9 in. 
IRIS, Japanese, Mixed Colors. Splendid mixture of the 
choicest Japanese varieties. 
Siberian Emperor. The Siberian Iris is much like to 
Dutch Iris. The foliage, however, is long and grasslike. 
The deep violet blue flowers are fine for cutting. 
Height 3 to 4 ft. 
LAVANDULA vera. This old-fashioned, sweet-scented 
plant is a general favorite. This is the true Sweet 
Lavender. It grows about 18 in. high. Flowers in 
July and August. 
LIATRIS pycnostachya ( Blazing-star). Most showy and 
attractive perennial, with long spikes of rosy purple 
flowers. It blooms from July to September. Height 
4 to 5 ft. The Liatris does well in light shade or full 
sunlight. The flowers are excellent for cutting, 
scariosa. Same color as the above only the spikes are 
not so dense. Gives a fluffy appearance and is very 
attractive. This also blooms from July to September. 
Height 2 to 3 ft. 
LINUM flavum (Flax). An interesting, bushy perennial 
plant, suitable for the rockery or border plantings. 
This variety is covered with light yellow flowers in 
June and July. The Linum grows best in light, well- 
drained soil, in a sunny location. Height 1 ft.
