Choice Hardy Perennial Plants ( Continued ) 
GIANT MALLOWS 
3 ft. These improved Giant Mallows have flowers as 
large as a dinner plate in the most lovely pure pink, also 
in white and vivid red. They look much like huge Holly¬ 
hocks, but the flowers are several times as large and the 
plant more bushy. They flower profusely all summer long 
and require no care. The extra strong clumps I send will 
flower the first year and increase in beauty each year. 
3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.50, Postpaid. 
LUNARIA (Honesty or Money Plant) 
24 in. This flower, which is a native of Europe and 
Western Asia, is one of the most lovely of our early Spring 
flowers. Each plant set out this Fall will be a veritable 
bouquet of flowers, beginning the last week of April and 
continuing for several weeks. The plant is of beautiful 
symmetrical form. The color is petunia violet and the 
individual florets remind one somewhat of Phlox. (There 
is also a white form.) 
During Autumn, after the flowers have disappeared, 
seed pods form, each pod being about the size of a silver 
dollar and the color of cellophane. These seed pods are 
very ornamental and useful for winter bouquets, as they 
last all winter, and the entire plant should be cut down in 
the fall and used for winter decoration. 
The name Lunaria is derived from the latin "Luna,” 
the moon, and alludes to the silvery moon shaped pods. It 
is called "Money Plant” because these disc-like, flat silvery 
seed pods resemble money hanging all over the plant in the 
fall. The appellation "Honesty” is applied because these 
seed pods are transparent and you can "see through” them, 
nothing being hidden, the seeds being visible through the 
pod. Not to be confused with Linaria, which is an entirely 
different and unimportant plant. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 
12 for $2.50, Postpaid. 
HARDY SWEET PEAS (Lathyrus) 
The flowers are quite as handsome as the annual sweet 
peas, but once planted these hardy sweet peas will take 
care of themselves, coming up each year with little or no 
care. For covering a low trellis or fence there is nothing 
finer. The vines die down during the winter and make 
new growth each Spring and Summer. The plants are of 
such rugged growth and so much branched that each plant 
will cover several feet of fence or trellis. The flowers grow 
in clusters, one cluster being sufficient for a corsage bouquet, 
and the plants are covered with these clusters of delightful 
red, pink and white flowers all summer long. The flowers 
on each plant of course are of one color and the plants are 
sold in mixed colors only. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 for 
$2.50, Postpaid.
