GAILLARDIA 
Improved Hybrids 
Our new Gaillardia Hybrids contain the largest and widest 
range of types and color combinations ever offered in one mix¬ 
ture, and should be planted liberally in the perennial border 
where they will give a wealth of continuous bloom from May 
until November. This strain, developed from the best of the 
American and European varieties, contains all of the colors 
you can dream of in Gaillardias—copper, scarlet, wine red, 
golden yellow, orange and apricot; single, semi-double and 
quilled flowers. Pkt., 10c. Blooming size plants, 25c each; 
3 for 60c; 12 for $1.75, postpaid. 
New Gaillardia Burgundy 
Shining wine-red flowers about 2% inches in diameter, on 
long stiff stems, from June until fall. Bloom from seed the 
same year, if sown early, and come 60% to 70% true. Pkt., 
15c. 
Gaillardia “Dazzler” 
The largest and most attractive giant red Gaillardia. Flow¬ 
ers very large, rich dark red, with a bright orange tip on the 
end of each petal. A very attractive flower for the garden and

be imagined than a large bed of these Gaillardias with their 
profusion of highly colored flowers from June until November.

Gypsophila (Baby*s Breath) 
A most desirable addition to the hardy border. They are 
fine for cutting, being superior to Asparagus Fern for mixing 
with other cut flowers. They dry perfectly for winter bou¬ 
quets, and the dried flowers can be made to look again like 
fresh ones by wrapping the dried blooms in a moist towel and 
keeping half a day in a cool place. 
BRISTOL FAIRY. A full double variety producing larger 
panicles of flowers than the other types, and flowers more or 
less continuously throughout the summer. The individual 
blooms are one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter. As thiS 
variety does not come true from seed we offer blooming age, 
pot grown, grafted plants which will be sent after danger of 
frost. 45c each; 3 for $1.20, postpaid. 
PACIFICA. 4 ft. A dainty pink flowered variety similar 
to Paniculata, but blooms a little later. Pkt., 20c. Blooming 
size plants, 30c each; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.25, postpaid. 
PANICULATA DOUBLE WHITE. 2 ft. A great improve¬ 
ment on the single-flowered type and more lasting. When 
grown from seed, about 25 per cent usually come double.

T IAD (Humulus Lupulus.) The common commercial 
JTTv-Jx Hop Vine. Pkt,, 15c. 
Hen and Chickens 
(Sempervivum) 
Evergreen succulent plants with thick leaves in com¬ 
pact rosettes. The rosettes vary in size with the dif¬ 
ferent varieties and are called “Hens.” The “Chickens” 
are the small new rosettes formed either at the base of 
the parent or between the leaves. As they are not de- 
Hen and Chickens 
pendable bloomers they are 
grown for their interesting 
habits in rockeries, borders 
and in dish gardens. 
TECTORUM (Roof House- 
leek). Green leaves tipped 
reddish brown. Grown on 
the roof in European coun¬ 
tries where it grows in the 
thatch or between the 
shingles. Chickens pro¬ 
duced at the side. 
GLOBIFERUM. Green 
leaves tinged red. Chick¬ 
ens produced between the 
leaves.

varieties, 20c each; 3 for 
40c; 12 for $1.00, postpaid. 
KUDZU VINE 
Jack-and-the-Bean-Stalk 
A remarkable perennial climber which starts new shoots from 
the crowps of the roots each year. It is the most rapid growing 
vine in cultivation ; grows 8 to 10 feet the first year from seed, 
and after it has become established a growth of 40 to 60 feet in 
a single season being not unusual. The foliage is large and fur¬ 
nishes dense shade ; bears panicles of rosy-purple, pea-shaped blos¬ 
soms somewhat like Wistaria, during August and September. A 
splendid subject for covering permanently verandas, dead trees, 
etc. Perfectly hardy and will flourish where nothing else will grow.
