New and of Special Interest 
This Spring 
As a new garden season approaches 
we are sending you our twelfth annual 
catalog as a silent messenger of good 
garden news. We hope you will enjoy 
reading it and will find something help¬ 
ful in it. 
You will no doubt be interested in 
the new hardy phlox “Daily Sketch” 
from England, one of the few outstand¬ 
ing introductions of this year. Its col¬ 
or is a pleasing salmon with a crimson 
red eye. We have also added a number 
of the newer phlox to our list and 
are confident y-ou will want to try them. 
Our general perennial list has been 
enriched by the addition of the 3 Dian¬ 
thus; Crimson King; Furth Bismark, a 
double flowered salmon colored variety, 
and Her Majesty, a choice double 
white; Artemisia Silver Beauty, which 
is an improvement over the old variety; 
Silver King; Potentilla Miss Willmott, 
a good border plant for midsummer 
bloom; Trollius Ledebouri, and Bowles 
variety of vinca or trailing myrtle. 
To our already large assortment of 
rock garden plants we have added, 
Anchusa Myosotidiflora, an early 
blooming anchusa with forget-me-not- 
like flowers; Arenaria grandiflora, 
which during May is covered with 
white star-like flowers; Asperula odo- 
rata, a plant suitable for shady places; 
Plumbago larpentae, a low-spreading 
plant bearing deep blue flowers in late 
summer; and three of the new dwarf 
asters, Marjorie, Ronald and Victor. 
These asters made a fine showing in 
our garden last fall after all else was 
frozen. We have also included several 
creeping veronicas. 
Items worthy of special mention to be 
found among the annuals, are several 
of the new rust-proof Snapdragons; the 
choice red gaillardia, Indian Chief; 
Marigold, Dixie Sunshine, a tall golden 
yellow flowered form; the new mari¬ 
gold Harmony, a variety of the Dwarf 
French type, having golden yellow 
flowers with a rich maroon red bor¬ 
der; Sutton’s petunia, Blue Bedder, a 
rather tall, but nearly true blue petu¬ 
nia; also the recently introduced ver¬ 
bena venosa in the lilac shade. 
For edging purposes we have found 
the dwarf argeratums to be especially 
desirable and satisfactory. The best 
variety for this purpose is Cardinal, 
which cannot be grown from seed. Of 
course the white sweet alyssum, the lo¬ 
belias and moss roses will continue to 
be used as edging plants for a long 
time. 
While traveling in the East last sum¬ 
mer we saw some nice edgings of the 
dwarf annual phlox. These should be 
satisfactory under local conditions so 
we have added three varieties, Apricot, 
Sky Blue and Cecily mixed. They are 
suitable for adding color to the rock 
garden during the summer period. 
Those who object to the large giant 
flower zinnias as a cut flower should 
try our Pumila type, or as it is often 
called the Cut and Come again zinnia. 
They are of a medium size and long 
stemmed and are very good for bou¬ 
quets. 
Zinnia Fantasy is a good novelty and 
worthy of space in your garden. 
Being a member of a garden club 
adds greatly to the pleasure of garden¬ 
ing. Many new ideas for making your 
garden better and more interesting will 
be brought to your attention and there 
is also the thrill that comes in taking 
part in the flower shows, and a zest 
on striving to capture the blue ribbon 
for the largest or best flower or the 
most stunning bouquet. 
For this purpose you need some of 
our newer varieties in order to make 
bouquets and baskets that are original 
and different from your neighbors’.
