TOTTVS, MADISON, N. J. 
• • • 
CERASTIUM 
*Tomentosum —Silvery, low-growing foliage plant which is used 
very largely for planting dry, sunny spots. Carpet growth. May 
to mid-June. 
CAMPANULAS 
(Canterbury-bells or Bellflower) 
These lovely flowers have great variety of color and form and the 
taller varieties are useful for cut flowers as well as in the hardy 
border. 
Medium —Blue, white, mauve and pink. 
Calycanthema —Cup-and-saucer. Blue, white, pink. 
Double —Blue, white, pink. 
Persicifolia (Telham Beauty Hybrids) —These very beautiful light 
blue bell-like flowers appear in June and July on 2^ foot stems. 
The great advantage of this type is that it is Perennial and these 
particular hybrids have much larger flowers than the former 
Campanula Persicifolia. This also comes in the large flowered 
white form of the above. 
*Carpatica Blue —A dwarf variety well suited to the rock garden, 
blooming from June to mid-October, a lovely blue flower on a 
slender stem 9 to 10 inches high. 
*Carpatica Alba —White form of the above. 
*Garganica —A very choice gem for the Rock Garden. It is very 
hardy, blooms from late June to September. Is a heavenly blue, 
and has trailing habit of growth, but at the same time is neat. The 
foliage is almost as distinctive and attractive as the flower; 3 to 6 
inches high. 
Caryopteris 
CARYOPTERIS 
Caryopteris Mastacanthus Superbus —A handsome and free flowering 
woody hardy plant, blue, pink, white, growing from 2 to 3 feet 
high. The long branches are completely covered with clear 
colored flowers during September and October. Well adapted 
fur cutting and valuable on account of its late flowering habit. 
Price: 35c each, $3.50 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. One plant 
of each color for $1.00.

ing long spikes of brilliant, scarlet flowers. Has not been grown 
very extensively in this country as yet. Height 3 feet. July to 
September. 
Shell Pink —A delightful new form of the above, being the same 
hardy border plant, but the color is a wonderful shell pink, and 
the plant grows about 24 inches high. It comes into bloom in 
July and if the first bloom is cut back after the flowers have faded, 
it will send up second and third growth to carry the bloom into 
early September. 
CIMICIFUGA (Snakeroot)

tember but attaining its full beauty middle of October. Has lovely

2T 2 to 3 feet high. Price: $1.00 each per plant, $10.00 per dozen.

cutting. Perfectly hardy in all sections, flowering May and June.
