Worthy Novelties 
for Spring , 1936 
ERODIUM 
CHAM AEDRY OIDES 
ROSEUM 
Forms tufts of glossy green leaves, deli¬ 
cate pink veined flowers on two inch 
stems. In bloom continuously from May 
until snow. Plant in good well drained 
soil. This is one of the prettiest little 
rock plants that we know of. We offer 
strong 2 inch pot plants, Per 10, $2.00; 
Per 100, $15.00. 
HOLLYHOCK 
IMPERATOR HYBRIDS 
This variety is the latest introduction 
in Hollyhocks. It has branching habits, 
producing flowers which measure 5-6 
inches across. The flowers vary in color, 
being beautifully frilled with fringed pet¬ 
als. In the center there appears a double 
rosette about 2 inches across. The entire 
flowers when fully developed suggest 
beautiful crested Begonias. The color 
harmonies are really pleasing to the 
eye. These Hollyhocks, unlike the real 
old timers are very good for indoor dec¬ 
orations. The flowers can be used in 
vases and will last a long while in water. 
Field grown plants, Per 10, $1.50; Per 
100, $10.00. 
VIOLET WELLSIANA 
These little plants are real novelties. 
They produce pleasing flowers well above 
the foliage. There is a variation in the 
colors running from blue to white. In 
early spring when they are at their best 
they make a real nice showing especially 
when planted in a fair sized group by 
themselves, in a eorner of a rock garden 
or in borders of flower gardens. Field 
grown plants, Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, 
$15.00. 
DIANTHUS SPRINGFIELD 
This is a selection from the Plumarius 
types. It is an upright growing variety, 
producing flowers on 12 inch stems, color 
is soft rose with mahogany disc. This 
combination is very pleasing. The flow¬ 
ers can be cut for table decorations and 
the plants will continue flowering 
throughout the summer. We offer strong 
2 inch pot plants, Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, 
$15.00. 
VIOLET ROSINA 
A small soft ripe pink Violet blooming 
freely in the spring and again in the 
autumn. Delightfully fragrant. While 
it will grow well in the full sun, it does 
best in partial shade. Field grown plants, 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00. 
DIANTHUS 
ROSE CUSHION 
This new variety is unlike other Dian- 
thus. The clear rose colored flowers are 
erect, they do not droop. The plant does 
not run wild, keeps its shape, very low 
growing and compact, ideal for low bor¬ 
ders or rockeries. It is perfectly hardy 
and does well in any well drained soil. 
Considering the style of its growth it is 
very attractive even when not in flower. 
We offer strong 2 inch pot plants, Per 
10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00. 
ELSCHOLZIA FARQUHARI 
This plant has the nature of the well 
known Buddleias, growing about 24 inches 
in height, producing large spikes of bright 
pink flowers. The entire bush is sweetly 
scented. In addition to being a very con¬ 
spicuous plant in the landscape, the flow¬ 
ers are also outstanding for cutting. This 
plant we believe will become very popu¬ 
lar. We highly recommend it for florist 
cut flower purposes or for landscape 
plantings. Strong field grown plants, Per 
10, $2.50; Per 100, $20.00. 
New Dwarf Hybrid Border Asters 
These Asters we believe will fill a long felt need. They are a race of dwarf, compact, free-flowering plants blooming at 
a season when there is a scarcity of low growing flowering plant material. Their average height is about one foot. They all 
bloom in September. There is nothing that will quite equal them for low borders and charming rock gardens. 
COUNTESS OF DUDLEY. A charming 
clear pink with a contrasting yellow eye. 
A bushy habit, flowering freely during 
late September. The plants grow 9 inches 
high. 
LADY HENRY HADDOCKS. Clear pale 
pink flowers produced freely on dwarf 
compact plants, 12 inches high. September. 
NANCY. The bushy plants are complete¬ 
ly covered with pale flesh pink flowers 
which practically hide all foliage. Blooms 
in late September. 12 inches. 
RONALD. This is a pleasing shade of 
bright lilac pink following the rose-pink 
buds. Very showy. Flowers in mid-Sep¬ 
tember. 12 inches high. 
SNOW SPRITE (Snow Fairy) A very dwarf 
early September flowering variety form¬ 
ing graceful plants a foot high. They 
are smothered with charming semi¬ 
double white flowers. It deserves a place 
in every garden. 
VICTOR. The dwarfest of all, growing 
barely 9 inches tall, covered with good 
sized flowers of a beautiful clear laven¬ 
der-blue. Flowers during early September. 
We offer all varieties in 2" pots, ready for delivery from 
April on, $2.00 per 10; $15.00 per 100.
