Perennials 
Have you tried any of the newer and improved 
varieties of perennials? 
We are listing below along with some of the 
finer older favorites a group which we consider 
to be the outstanding introductions of the past 
few years. They have all been grown in the nur¬ 
sery long enough for us to pass upon their hardi¬ 
ness and dependability. 
Aquilegia —Dobbs Imperial Hybrids. This fine long spur¬ 
red Columbine of English origin forms a sturdy compact 
plant with masses of very large exquisitely colored 
blooms that last a good deal longer than the ordinary 
types. Very hardy and thrives in partial shade. $.35 each. 
Delphinium. —Our Delphinium are from the celebrated 
Blackmore and Langdon strain; heavy clumps with mag- 
nificient 4' and 5' spikes of bloom in every shade of blue, 
some with pink bees. Visit the nursery at blooming time 
to make your own selection. Each $.35. 
Campanula Species —All season bloom and ease of 
culture make the dwarf forms of Bell flowers a particu¬ 
larly desirable border or rockery perennial. We list 
Campanula Murialis—very dwarf, dark blue; Camp¬ 
anula Stansfeldi 6" light blue, and both the blue and 
white form of Campanula Carpatica. Any soil, very 
hardy. Price $.20 — $.35. 
Gypsophila —BRISTOL FAIRY—Magnificent clouds 
of very large double flowers characterize this fine new 
strain of Baby’s Breath. Each plant is grafted as they 
do not come true from seed. From 3 " pots, $.50 each. 
New Dwarf Asters —Low, compact and covered with 
masses of bloom at a time when there is much need for 
color in the garden, these recent introductions are worthy 
of all praise. Of the six named varieties, we consider 
Victor 6" lavender, and Ronald 18" lilac-pink as the 
best. Fully hardy in any soil. Each $.50. 
Stokesia —A medium sized perennial with lovely 2" pale 
blue aster-like flowers blooming in July and August. 
Fine for cutting and of easiest culture. Each $.20. 
SPECIAL OFFER—A collection of one each of ~ ~ 
the above perennials, good until June 1st, 1936. 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
The newer types of the hardy mums combine a bloom¬ 
ing period and range of color that cannot be equaled by 
any other perennial in this section. Starting as early as 
the middle of August, they keep right on through the se¬ 
verest frost well into November. Give them plenty of water 
and moderately rich soil and pinch them back once or 
twice. 
We consider Aladdin (yellow-bronze, very early); Bar¬ 
bara Cummings 
(bright yellow); 
Mrs. Philip Page 
(reddish bronze) 
and Jean Tread¬ 
way (pink, dark¬ 
er eye) as among 
the best and of 
the easiest cul¬ 
ture. $.35 each.
