LILY-OF-THE- 
VALLEY 
Just the thing to put into that cold, 
shaded strip along the walk on the 
east or north side of your house. The 
loose panicles of bell-shaped flowers 
set low- in their emerald foliage 
cover the waste ground, furnish a 
vast amount of cut sprays and 
sweetly perfume the entire yard. 
HIBISCUS 
(Mallow Marvel) 
Improved new hardy giant-flower¬ 
ing Marshmallows, the most free- 
blooming of all perennials; rich, 
gorgeous and hardy as an oak. 
BALLOON FLOWER 
(Platycodon) 
June to October. Large, showy deep blue 
flow'ers. Good for rock garden and border. 
BABYS’ BREATH 
(Gypsophila) 
A beautiful old-fashioned plant possessing a grace not 
found in any other perennial and attracting the eye 
of everyone. 
PAINTED DAISY 
(Pyrethrum) 
Daisy-like flowers in white and 
colors. The flowers are borne on 
long stems and are fine for cut¬ 
ting. Fernlike foliage. 
RUDBECKIA 
PURPUREA 
(Purple Cornflowers) 
An entirely distinct variety. 
Flowers are unusual in forma¬ 
tion as well as in color. Reddish 
purple with large cone-shaped 
20 center in brown. 
FOX GLOVE 
For stately and picturesque 
beauty the Foxglove is unsur¬ 
passed. Lovely when planted in 
masses in the garden, among 
shrubs, or naturalized on the 
edge of woods. In the orchards 
or along brooks it is extremely 
effective and satisfactory. It is a 
biennial, but as it renews itself 
from self-sown seed it may be 
treated as a perennial. 
GAILLARDIA 
(Blanket Flower) 
GRANDIFLORA. Probably one of 
the most universally planted of the 
hardy perennial flowers. Conspicu¬ 
ous for its profusion of bloom. Flow¬ 
ers of intense blood-crimson mar¬ 
gined with golden yellow. 18 to 24 
inches.
