Early Hardy or Garden Varieties 
The general public have shown an increasing interest in this class during the past 
season. We have endeavored to give the height and flowering period as well as a description 
of color of each variety, which we believe will be appreciated by those interested. It will, 
at least, afford them an opportunity to arrange their plantings so as to show to best ad' 
vantage. 
The hardy varieties may be planted in the vegetable garden in the spring, given good 
culture, the centers repeatedly pinched out as direccted under ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
on page 36 and when in bloom may be lifted and replanted in any position on the lawn. 
They may also be put into vases or window boxes in separate or mixed colors as desired. 
Introductions for 1936 
EMMET. A very free flowering single (see illustration) and as it flowers by the middle of 
September is admirably adapted for garden culture. Is a rosy bronze in color with 
flowers 2 inches in diameter. The illustration is a single plant, the growth pinched twice, 
and attained 2 feet in diameter and 15 inches in height which fully illustrates its free 
flowering habit. 
Emmet 
ILLCO. A light pink single. Is a counterpart of Emmet with the exception of color. The 
dwarf habit and freedom of bloom are remarkable and admirably fit them for garden 
display where mass of color is desired. Height of plant, 18 inches. Flowers Septem' 
ber 15. 
NACOLA. An exceedingly bright yellow, surpassing other varieties of this type in that 
respect. Flowers 2 j /4 inches in diameter; free flowering. In perfection September 15 to 
20. Height of plant, 20 inches. 
PANOLA. This variety is a seedling from Amelia, or Azaleamum as it is sometimes known. 
It is a dark rosy pink possessing the same dwarf habit and freedom of bloom as Amelia. 
Flowering period, September 15 and later. Height of plant, 15 inches. Those who are 
partial to Amelia should not overlook this variety which is a great improvement in color.

Not less than five of a variety at ten; 25 at hundred rate.
