Hardy Perennials 
TOTTY’S, MADISON, N. J. 
Veronica 
SPIRAEAS (Meadowsweet) 
Very showy plants, either planted in isolated clumps or inter¬ 
mingled with other herbaceous plants in the hardy border. They 
thrive well in any rich garden soil, but prefer damp positions. 
Very decorative with beautiful spikes of flower. 
Kriemheilde —One of the most attractive of the late Spiraeas, 
salmon pink in color. 
Queen Alexander —Another very fine variety. 
Rubens —Very beautiful carmine rose and one of the best liked 
of the many varieties sent out. 
Venus —Is a purplish rose, very tall, late growing variety. 
*STATICE (Sea Lavender) 
*Latifolia —A popular border and rockery plant with very glossy 
leaves and small purplish blue flowers in trusses about 12 inches 
across, blooming profusely. Height 18 inches. 
SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus barbatus) 
Possibly one of the best known free flowering, hardy perennials; 
easily one of the most attractive flowers in the garden. 
Pink Beauty —Beautiful Newport pink color. 
Giant White —Snow white, one of the best. 
Scarlet Beauty —Brilliant scarlet. Price: $2.00 per dozen, 
$15.00 per 100. 
*Plieasant Eye (Dianthus Barbatus) —Splendid heads of 
singularly beautiful rich crimson flowers, each having a clear 
white eye. Height 18 inches. 
Double Sweet Wivelsfield —A sensational plant. A great im¬ 
provement on the original Sweet Wivelsfield, which proved such 
an enormous success when sent out by us four years ago. It is a 
bold, full flower of widely varying shade of color from Scarlet 
to Pink. The flowers last much longer in the beds and also as 
cut flowers, and it will undoubtedly be one of the best selling 
Novelties for 1935. Price: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 
per 100. 
THALICTRUM (Meadow Rue) 
Adiantifolium —One of the most beautiful plants for the garden. 
The foliage resembles the maiden hair fern and the feathery 
white flowers are airy and graceful in the garden or in bouquets. 
Blooms June and July. Height 2 feet. 
Prefers a rich loam and rather moist place. 
THYMUS (Creeping Thyme) 
*Serpyllum Coccineus —The favorite Thyme for flagging with 
its myriad of brilliant crimson blooms during the mid-season. 
Evergreen and bronzy during the winter. 
TRITOMA (Torch Lily) 
Shading from pale yellow to deep orange-red, having short 
tubular flowers grown closely together on a heavy stem. Most 
always described as the Red-Hot Poker. 
TROLLIUS LEDEBOURI 
*Golden Queen —One of the best of recent introductions. 
A very vigorous variety with unusually large flowers of a 
rich golden orange color. It flowers profusely both in early 
Summer and in Autumn. Does best in a deep rich soil with 
ample moisture. Beautiful planted in bold chimps. 
TUNICA SAXIFRAGA 
*F1.P1. rosea —A dancing miniature of the beloved Baby’s Breath 
in double form. Reigning gayly through the heat of the summer. 
Price: 35c per plant, $3.50 per dozen. 
VIOLA 
*Apricot Queen —A fascinating shade of apricot that compels 
the immediate attention and admiration of all who see it. The 
plant has a neat, compact habit of growth and blooms freely 
from Spring to October. The requirements for success in grow¬ 
ing this charming Viola are to locate the plants in full sun and 
to shear them close to the ground twice during the season. 
Bel ty —A new Viola of a lovely pale mauve shade, resembling 
“Maggie Mott,” so popular in England. This variety however, 
is slightly paler in color. 
*Je rsey Gem —The peerless Viola that blooms from April until 
snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a delicious 
fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any good 
garden soil, but must have full sun for best results. 
Mersey King—A seedling from “Jersey Gem,” and really a 
glorified form of the latter. The stem is longer, the flower more 
perfectly rounded, and the color a shade deeper. In the intensely 
hot weather, the past summer, “Jersey King” did not let up a 
single minute when every other Viola including “Jersey Gem” 
simply stopped. Price: 35c each, $3.50 per dozen. 
*Odorata “Rosina” —A small soft pink Violet blooming freely 
in the Spring and again in the Autumn. Delightfully fragrant. 
Will grow well in the full sun, but does best in partial shade. 
The King’s Ermine —A beautiful white hardy garden Violet 
coming into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom very 
freely for many weeks. Throat a rich purple. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
Longifolia Subsessilis —Also known as the clump “Speedwell.” 
This is one of the handsomest of the Veronica type. It has long 
spikes of a beautiful deep blue and is frequently used as a cut 
flower. It attains a height of about 2 feel and flowers from July 
to September. Price: $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
*Rnpeslris Heavenly Blue —The gem of trailing Veronicas. 
Close cropped leaves lifting a myriad of blue spikes in early 
spring. Price: 35c per plant, $3.50 per dozen. 
Spicata —Flowers in June and July; magnificent sprays of bright 
blue flowers growing 13-2 to 2 feet high. 
*Spicata Rosea —Delicate pink flowers growing 15 inches high. 
*Teucrium—A creeping variety covered with deep blue flowers 
in June. Most attractive. 
V INCA MINOR (Common Periwinkle) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick trailing 
growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early Spring and oc¬ 
casionally through the Summer. 
YUCCA (Adam’s Needle) 
Filamentosa —Ornamental foliage and flowering plants. Makes 
a splendid foil for the delightfully fragrant spikes of creamy 
white flowers produce during June and July. 5 to 6 feet tall.
