Anchusa Myosotodiflora, low, with sprays of forget-me- 
not flowers. Phlox Divaricata, a cloud of soft blue, and 
DORONICUM Excelsum, with its large, brilliant, daisylike 
blooms borne on tall stems, are all delightful subjects for the 
spring border. 
The six varieties of Iris which are listed have been especially 
happy here. IRIS CRISTATA is a small, very hardy, native Iris 
which prefers some shade and plenty of leaf mold. It quickly 
forms large mats, which are covered in early May with a pro¬ 
fusion of deliciously scented amethyst-blue flowers crested with 
gold. IRIS Pumila COERULEA is a pure sky blue, very small, 
very early and very lovely. IRIS TECTORUM is a beautiful crested 
Iris blooming in June. IRIS TECTORUM ALBA is its rare and 
exquisite white form. In striking contrast to these lower things 
are the four-foot stems of IRIS OCHROLEUCA (var. Shelford 
Giant), bearing well above its handsome foliage its great ivory 
and gold flowers. 
IRIS Perry’s Blue carries its charming sky blue flowers on 
tall stems well above its handsome foliage. Backing the early 
dwarf HEMEROCALLIS, it makes a delightful combination for 
the Spring border. 
HEUCHERA ROSAMUNDE is an unusually fine type of this 
variety. It is profuse and lasting in bloom, beautiful in color, 
a warm, rosy pink. Once established it throws stalks of bloom 
two and a half feet high continuously from late May through the 
greater part of the summer. HELLEBORUS NIGER (Christmas 
Rose) likes shade and a deeply prepared soil with plenty of 
wood's earth and very well rotted cow manure. It is perfectly 
hardy, absolutely permanent. The foliage is handsome all the 
year round, and from November to March the lovely waxen 
white flowers, flushed sometimes with soft pink, link the bloom 
of November with the first flowering of spring. 
The great crocuslike cups and handsome foliage of STERN¬ 
BERGIA LUTEA bring the feeling and freshness of spring to the 
autumn border. It is hardy, but in cold climates it is best to 
protect its evergreen foliage with a light covering. Plant any 
time up to September, and enjoy its bloom the same autumn. 
Bulbs delivered after June 15th. 
The ORIENTAL Poppy OLYMPIA blooms ten days before the 
type. Its lovely semi-double pinkish flame blooms are attractive 
in the border and valuable as cut flowers. 
The TULIP Mixture is the surplus accumulated through 
many years from the tulip collection of a large private garden. 
It is composed of Breeder, Darwin and Cottage tulips in fine 
named varieties. While we recommend them for cutting, a bed 
of these gives the effect of a gorgeous tapestry with a long period 
of changing beauty and interest.
