Hardy Phlox 
Liatris * Blazing Star; Gayfeather 
Pycnostachya. Nothing that you can plant 
will attract more attention in your garden 
than this unusual hardy flower. It blooms 
in midsummer and throws up long, narrow 
spikes of rich lavender-purple flowers on 
strong stems 4 to 5 feet high. A pecu¬ 
liarity of this plant is its great attraction 
to butterflies. The flowers make a splendid 
house decoration, not only in the summer, 
but can be dried for winter. Our displays 
of Liatris at flower shows last season 
attracted much attention. 
Lily-of-the-Valley 
The pure white bells in early spring are 
known to everyone. We furnish strong 
clumps especially suited for outdoor planting. 
Clumps 25c each; 70c for 3; $2.50 for 12. 
Lupin * Lupinus 
Stately and beautiful perennials, producing 
long spikes of beautiful, pea-shaped flowers. 
They are excellent for cutting, and bloom 
from June until September. We offer the 
New Sweet-scented Polyphyllus Lupin, a 
great improvement over the older variety. 
Plant them a foot apart in good garden soil, 
preferably in a semi-shady location. We 
offer four colors: Brilliant Red, Pure White, 
Rose-Pink, and Blue. 
Hardy Lupins 
Baroness Schroeder Peonies 
Hart & Vick’s Peonies 
These easily grown, very hardy plants, re¬ 
quiring no protection even in the most severe 
climates, and increasing in beauty each year, 
are a general favorite in every garden. Their 
wealth of bloom, gorgeous coloring, and 
fragrance make them rivals of the finest 
roses. Plant Peonies early and not too deep. 
The roots should be placed so that the crowns 
are covered with 2 inches of soil. Give them 
an abundance of water during their growing 
season.
