GEUM 
W E CONSIDER the Gaillardia one of the most beautiful and desirable 
hardy plants in cultivation, and believe our strain to be the finest extant, 
and we offer these plants for less than they have ever been sold for, 
either in this country or Europe. The Gaillardia is, of course, simply invaluable as 
a cut flower, on account of its being so lasting when gathered and so brilliant and 
beautiful. The gay blossoms are obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to 
November, and the greater the drought and scarcity of other flowers the more 
the utility of the perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. Some of the varieties of 
this improved strain measure fully five inches in diameter. 
Gaillardia, Improved Giant Hybrids. Since we have always been most enthusiastic 
in our recommendation of the older types of Gaillardia, we hardly know how to 
explain our appreciation of this new 
strain. Emphatically it is an improve- 
ment, no doubt whatever about that. 
The flowers are larger and there are 
more of them, in the loveliest shades of 
orange, red and yellow. Like the older 
types they bloom perpetually from June 
to November and do not seem to mind 
drought and other adverse weather con¬ 
ditions, but continue to bloom when 
other plants curl up and quit. 3 for 65c; 
$2.00 per doz. 
Gaillardia, The Dazzler. In habit and behavior The Dazzler is similar to the other 
strains and it has all the merits of the family. The flowers of the Dazzler, however, 
are brilliant, dark red tipped shining orange. 3 for 75c; $2.50 per doz. 
Lovely tufted perennials producing a wealth of attractive flowers which bloom con¬ 
tinually from May to July. The plants grow about 18 inches high and are one of the 
finest of the garden plants and they may also be used in the larger rockeries. Among 
professional florists the Geum is in tremendous demand for cut flowers, being considered 
one of the finest of all hardy plants for this purpose. Try combining Lady Stratheden 
and Mrs. Bradshaw in one bouquet and you will know why.

Gaillardia, Portola Hybrids. A new Gaillardia, Improved Giant Hybrids 
race of Blanket Flower similar to 
the New Perennial Strain excepting that the colors are darker, ranging from reddish 
bronze to deep gold. Has all the merits of the family. 3 for 65c; $2.00 per doz. 
TUFTED PANSIES or 
BEDDING VIOLAS 
The Tufted Pansies are hybrids of Pansies and Viola Cornuta, and 
are quite distinct from Pansies in habit and coloring, and we think 
far more beautiful. The flowers are smaller, but unique in coloring, 
and the plants spread from the roots like violets, making them true 
perennials. They are perfectly hardy, enduring the extremely cold 
weather of 1933-34 in an open border without protection. They are 
immensely popular in England and Scotland, where they are generally 
used for bedding and table decorations, and nothing can be more 
charming for either purpose. We have always admired these flowers 
in Scotland, but were not certain that they would thrive in this 
climate, but after testing them for years in our garden, we know that 
they will do as well as they do abroad. We have had a splendid 
lot of plants grown from the best collections in Scotland. They can 
be planted in the summer, fall or spring.
