Sweet William - Dianthus 
Barbatus 
A well-known, old-fashioned perennial 
which has long been used for beds and bor¬ 
ders. It is one of the most desirable plants 
in the garden, is easily grown, very hardy 
and free-flowering, continuing in bloom for 
several weeks. The flowers are borne in 
heads or clusters, sweet scented, in brilliant 
colors ranging from pure white through 
pink, crimson, etc., to deep purple. Most of 
them have two colors in the same flower. 
They are borne on stiff stems in graceful 
profusion and the clusters are often 3 to 4 
inches across. Useful for cutting. Height, 
1% feet. 
1036 NEWPORT PINK. A distinct new color 
which originated in one of the far-famed 
gardens at Newport, R. I. In color it is 
what florists call watermelon-pink or sal- 
mony rose. Strikingly brilliant and beau¬ 
tiful; the flowers are borne in massive 
heads on stems 18 inches high. For mid¬ 
season mass bedding it has no equal. It 
is also very effective for cutting. Pkt., 
10c; Vi oz., 35c. 
1037 HOEBORN GLORY. This strain is a 
large-flowered selection of the auricula¬ 
eyed section, the most beautiful and ad¬ 
mired of all Sweet Williams. The individu¬ 
al flowers and trusses are of extraordinary 
size, while the range of color, all showing 
a clear, white eye, is truly superb. Fkt., 
10c; Vi oz., 25c.

Thalictrum - Meadow Rue 
Handsome dark foliage resembling the 
Columbine. The flowers are borne in feathery 
clusters. Very useful in making bouquets. 
Its light and graceful habit makes it very 
valuable in the perennial border or when 
placed among the shrubbery. 
1040 DIPTEROCARPUM. A handsome her¬ 
baceous plant, with loose sprays of clear 
rosy-purple with lemon-yellow stamens 
and anthers. The plant is of strong growth, 
about 4 to 5 feet high. The flowers are 
produced during August and September. 
Thrives best in a poor soil in a sunny posi¬ 
tion. Pkt.. 15c. 
Tritoma 
(Red-hot Poker, or Torch Lily) 
1041 HYBRIDA. The introduction of new, 
continuous flowering Tritomas has given 
them a prominent place among hardy bed¬ 
ding plants. It is not generally known that 
they are readily grown from seed, many 
flowering the first year if sown early. Of 
course, for immediate results it will be 
better to get plants, but raising them from 
seed is highly interesting. Perennial. Pkt., 
15c; 2 pkt., 25c. 
Trollius - Globe Flower 
1042 Ledebourl, Golden Queen. The plant is 
very vigorous, grows from 3 to 4 feet in 
height, but its chief value lies in the size 
of the flowers, the intense orange color, the 
extreme floriierousness and the constancy 
with which it flowers in autumn as well as 
early summer. It comes practically true to 
type from seed. Most Trollius are rather 
uncertain to raise from seed when sown In 
the spring, but one of the greatest recom¬ 
mendations this introduction has is that 
the seed germinates freely when sown in 
spring. Seed germinates slowly. Soak in 
hot water for 5 to 6 hours before sowing. 
Hardy perennial. Pkt., 36c.
