ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
ARTHUR LEE NURSERIES 
*Majal is. (L.) 
This popular and fragrant, subject repays for being well treated. Grand for massing near shrubs 
or along shaded borders. 
COREOPSIS. Tickseed. 
A useful and attractive herbaceous perennial, both for border and cut flowers. They are of easy 
culture, and produce their golden yellow flowers in profusion throughout the summer. 
Culture: All require a well drained, medium soil. Cn heavy clay soils the plants are apt to 
freeze in winter. They also need a full, sunny position. 
Grandiflora. (S.L. ) 
An improved variety with large bright yellow flowers; one of the best hardy plants. Excellent 
for cut flowers all summer. 
CRUCIANELLA. Crosswort. 
Herbs of creeping habit and easy culture. A delicate plant 
for the front of borders and capital for the rockery. 
Culture: They prefer a light, well drained, good garden 
soil. Prefer partial shade, though do well in full sun. 
Plant 10 to 12 inches apart. 
★ Stylosa. (S. ) 
Early flowering, hardy perennial, suitable for rock work; 
bright purple, ball-shaped flowers. Height 6 inches. 
DELPHINIUM. Hardy Larkspur. 
Stately and beautiful summer flowering perennial of unsur¬ 
passed beauty for the perennial garden. The tall handsome 
spikes of flowers, gorgeous in coloring, excellent for cut¬ 
ting, and a mass planting is a feature of your garden to be 
proud of at blooming time. The period of bloom extends 
from the middle of June until the plants are cut down by 
severe frost in the late fall. No home is complete without 
them, they are at home in the small back-yard garden as 
well as in the more pretentious formal herbaceous plantings 
Culture: For their successful culture a rich, well-drained 
soil is necessary. Cn soils of a light or medium nature, 
dig in plenty of decayed-manure. In soil of heavy nature, 
it is desirable to add a quantity of sand or coal ashes to 
loosen up the soil and improve the drainage. The addition 
of a light sprinkling of lime is beneficial at the time of 
planting. Remove faded flowers, and on no account allow 
seeds to develope, then a second group of flowers may be 
expected later in the season. The plants should be covered with a light covering of straw or 
litter for winter protection. Write for our leaflet "The Care of Delphinium," if desirous of 
other directions for culture. 
Belladonna. (S.L. )

of bloom from June 1 until cut down by hard frost. 
The clear Turquoise blue of its flowers is not equall¬ 
ed for delicacy and beauty by any other flowers. From 
2 to 24 feet high. 
Belladonna, Improved. (S.L.)(Cliveden Beauty). 
All experts agree that this strain is a real improve¬ 
ment on the original. It is the most profuse and most 
continuous blooming -of all the Hardy Larkspurs. The 
clear turquoise blue of its flowers is not equalled 
for delicacy and beauty. A generous planting should 
be included in every hardy border. 24 to 3 ft.

A pure white form having the same characteristics of 
foliage of the above but growing about 24 inches high. 
Blackmore and LangdonJs English Hybrids. (S.L.) 
This is a wonderful strain. It has a range of colors 
well divided in the palest of blue shades to the deep¬ 
est indigo, with a strong run of the most delicate 
shades of rose; double and single.
