LlipinUS (Lupine) 
In June, just before the delphiniums flower, the 
Lupines dominate the garden picture. Planted in sub¬ 
stantial groups, they are at their best in early summer, 
and if interplanted with Auratum or Speciosum lilies 
for late summer effect, a permanent and effective all¬ 
summer display is assured. A deep, well-drained soil 
and sunny situation are the chief requirements. 
If affected with aphis, spraying with Black-Leaf 40 
combined with soap, is recommended, and if blight is 
apt to appear, a thorough spraying with Bordeaux 
Mixture in late May and again in midsummer will 
prove effective. 
Polyphyllus. Washington Lupine. Deep blue, pea¬ 
shaped flowers in sturdy spikes 1Yi to 3 feet in height. 
Polyphyllus alba. A splendid clear white form. 
Polyphyllus roseus. Beautiful shades of rose-pink. 
Charming if combined with blue. 
Polyphyllus, Regal Hybrids. A noted European strain, 
containing many new shades and colors, varying 
from white to deepest blue, light to dark pink, and 
from pale amber to bronze-yellow. Bicolors also 
appear occasionally; altogether a beautiful and inter¬ 
esting group. 
Above Lupines, strong 2-year roots, 35 cts. each, 
$3.50 per doz., $25 per 100 
Mertensia (Blue Bells) 
*Virginica. Virginia Blue Bells. A delightful spring¬ 
flowering subject that naturalizes perfectly, forming 
dainty masses and flowering profusely if planted in 
sheltered borders. Light blue, nodding, bell-shaped 
flowers, changing to pink on stems. The foliage dis¬ 
appears in midsummer. Height. 1 to 1 Yl feet. 65 cts. 
for 3, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100. 
Nepeta 
*Mussini. Catnip. Produces cloudy masses of lavender- 
blue flowers from May until late fall if the early 
summer flowers are clipped off as they mature. The 
soft grev foliage, when massed, produces a cool, 
restful effect in the garden, and as it does well in 
dry situations or poor soil, it is used extensively 
also for major effects in the rock-garden. 65 cts. for 
3, $2.50 per doz. 
Souvenir d’Andre Chaudron. Large light mauve- 
blue flowers on long, wiry stems attaining a height 
of 20 to 24 inches. Quite distinct from Mussini and 
better adapted for the mixed planting, flowering 
from midsummer on. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Pachysandra 
*Terminalis. Japanese Spurge. The best ground-cover 
for massing in shaded areas where grass will not grow. 
If planted 6 to 8 inches apart, the bright glossy green 
foliage will soon form perfect mats, particularly if the 
soil is well enriched before planting and a winter 
mulch of well-decayed manure 1 inch deep is applied 
each season. We suggest the use of pot-grown plants 
except where large quantities are required. Field- 
grown plants or plants from 3-in. pots, 25 cts. each, 
$2.50 per doz., $15 per 100; 250 plants or more at 
$12 per 100. 
Paeonia (Peony) 
In planting this fine old favorite, provide a good soil, 
deeply dug and enriched with well-decayed manure to 
which a sprinkling of bonemeal should be added. The 
fertilizer should not come in direct contact with the 
roots, and the plants should be set just deep enough to 
cover the crowns. While the large two-year plants 
offered should bloom the first season, it requires from 
two to three years before the flowers will appear in their 
true form.
