ALPINE AND HARDY HERBACEOUS NOVELTIES 
OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 
We are featuring a few selected items this Fall which 
during the past three seasons. These are not “new” 
have proven their desirability and hardiness in our Trial Garden 
introductions/ but the supply of good field grown plants is still 
very scarce, and all have received instant recognition for their outstanding qualities. We are proud to be able to 
offer these to you as plants that will add to the beauty of your garden. 
DIANTHUS WINTERII —Striking new Pinks for the 
rockery that won a First Class Certificate from 
the Royal Horticultu ral Society. The flowers are 
deliciously scented, and come in many beautiful 
shades. Compact, glacous foliage. Each 30c, 
per three 75c. 
SEDUM ARBOREA —This distinct novelty is very 
rare. It has been identified as a sport of S. 
altissima being much more dwarf and compact. 
The foliage is a bright blue grey strongly re¬ 
sembling a miniature Koster Blue Spruce. Each 
25c, per three 60c. 
Geum Heldrichii 
AJUGA REPTANS VARIEGATED —This little gem has been 
neglected until recent date when its value as a contrasting 
foliage plant was recognized. Forms a low mat of leaves 
that are handsomely marked with light and dark green. In 
April and May it is covered with bright blue flowers. 
Each 30c, per three 75c. 
AQUILEGIA FLABELLATA NANA —This choice little 
Columbine is one of the finest for the alpine garden. It is

white flowers in early May. Each 25c, per three 60c, 
per ten $1.50. 
GYPSOPHILA PACIFICA— The new blush rose Baby’s Breath

ducing a shower of blossoms after the other variety is 
through. Each 25c, per three 60c, per ten $1.50. 
GEUM HELDRICHII— S everal seasons ago we noticed a par¬ 
ticularly brilliant orange in our planting of Geum Heldrichii.

from divisions. It has stood the most trying weather condi¬ 
tions and is perfectly hardy. Crinkled, dwarf foliage with 
single flowers of a striking orange red shade. Each 40c, 
per three $1.00.

qualities. It is a stately grower with large trumpets of a rich 
cream yellow blooming in mid-June. Highly recommended. 
Each $1.00. 
IRIS ARENARIUS— We have offered this before, but never at 
this reduced price. It is one of the most dwarf of all Iris. A 
specimen plant in our alpine garden produced over thrity 
large clear yellow flowers last April. The beautiful flowers 
are held on sturdy six inch stems. Ideal for the alpine garden.

ing alpine Forget-Me-Not for a number of years, but last

enough to grow a stock. It is very dwarf, growing only two 
inches high. The foliage is dark green and compact. In late 
April it is covered with brilliant sky-blue flowers. .Set among 
the rocks it makes a vivid spot of color. Each 40c, per three
