GEMS FOR THE ROCK GARDEN ( Continued) 
TRILLIUM GRANDIFLORUM 
(Wake Robin) 
10 to 12 in. This is the best of all Trilliums, producing 
large star-like blossoms as shown above early in the Spring. 
The Trillium is a native woodland plant, known as wood- 
lilies or Wake Robins. Fine for a shady nook in the garden 
or for naturalizing in the woodland. When once planted 
they continue to multiply and require no care. 3 for 75c; 
6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.25, Postpaid. 
MERTENSIA (Virginia Blue-Bell) 
12 to 18 in. This is one of the most delightful of all early 
spring flowers, and there are so many ways to make use of 
them. While a few plants will be the outstanding attrac¬ 
tion of a small garden, a mass planting naturalized in a 
meadow or along a woodland path or on grassy banks is a 
never-to-be-forgotten sight. In the rockery, or in the 
border, or the wild garden, in a quiet corner, or a conspicu¬ 
ous spot, they are equally at home. The flowers are of a 
lovely porcelain blue, intermingled with pink florets, and 
the flowers grow in graceful clusters. They flower through¬ 
out the month of May on Long Island. Try these Virginia 
Blue-Bells on my recommendation, and you will be de¬ 
lighted with them. 3 for 75c; 6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.25; 
100 for $15.00, Postpaid. 
AQUELEGIA (Columbine) 
15 to 18 in. See illustration above. Every gardener loves 
the dainty Columbines. The Long-spurred Hybrids I am 
offering are a great improvement over the older varieties. 
There is a wide range of delicate soft colors and rich pastel 
shades. Large, healthy 2-year field-grown plants. 3 for 75c; 
6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.00, Postpaid. 
SUN OR ROCK ROSE (Helianthemum) 
These very lovely miniature plants produce a constant 
succession of flowers in white, pink, scarlet and yellow. 
Nothing is more charming for the rock garden or edging a 
walk or border. Sold in mixed colors only. 3 for 85c; 6 for 
$1.50; 12 for $2.50; Postpaid. 
PAINTED DAISIES (Pyrethrum) 
Single and double Daisy-shaped flowers in many beautiful 
shades of red, pink and white. Beautiful in the garden and 
excellent for cutting. Mixed colors only. 3 for $1.00; 6 for 
$1.50; 12 for $2.50, Postpaid. 
GOLD MEDAL ROSES 
Fall is an excellent time to plant roses. If 
earth is heeled up around the plants to pro¬ 
tect them for the first Winter, they get a 
fine start and are so much ahead of Spring 
planted roses. A folder on Rose Culture 
will be sent free with all Fall orders for 
roses. It is profusely illustrated and will 
show just how roses should be handled for 
best results. 
1 offer here a short but very choice list of 
the finest roses in the world including the 
newest Patented Hybrid Teas and Everbloom- 
ing Climbers. I handle only strong No. 1 
two-year, field grown plants, all vigorous 
and healthy. 
GOLDEN CLIMBER (Mrs. Arthur Curtis 
James) Plant Patent No. 28. Winner of the 
Gold Medal awarded by the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society; also the American 
Rose Society’s Medal for the Best Rose of 
1933. Rich, Golden Yellow Climbing rose, 
with handsome glossy foliage and ornamen¬ 
tal red thorns on rich green wood. Magnifi¬ 
cent cut flowers of Hybrid Tea Type, 4 to 5 
inches in diameter, fully double, of perfect 
form and exquisitely fragrant; usually one 
flower to an 18-inch stem. A rugged rapid 
grower, hardy in severe sub-zero weather. 
The rose sensation of the Century. $1.50 
each; $15.00 Doz. 
originally imported this mag¬ 
nificent Rose from Europe and it has been 
a sensation in my gardens ever since. The 
color is a brilliant shrimp pink, deepening 
at the base to orange yellow and deep copper 
and touched with a bit of flame color. No 
other rose is quite so enchanting. Added to 
its other delightful qualities it is exquisitely 
fragrant. It is a vigorous grower, hardy any¬ 
where, disease resistant, free flowering and 
has unusual glossy green foliage that makes 
it always look as though it were just freshly 
polished. Extra strong plants $1.00 each; 
$10.00 Doz.
