Heuchera (Coral Bells) —At last a set of Coral Bells worth growing. We are 
pleased to offer eight fine new Coral Bells which w f e imported some time ago 
from Bloom's Nurseries, England, probably the world’s foremost originators 
and growers of fine Heucheras. The Heuchera family has long been neglected. 
Except for two or three time worn old red and pink favorites, the Coral Bells 
usually grown are dull in color and small in flower and hardly worth the 
space they occupy in the garden. You will find these new Heucheras alto¬ 
gether different. Thev are bright and clear in color with large bells, long 
sturdy stems and highly ornamental foliage. They are the results of crossing 
the two types of Heuchera, sanguinea and brizoides, and have the free flower¬ 
ing qualities of the former, combined with the larger flowers and more brilliant 
coloring of the latter. 
Heuchera brizoides section —Those which favor their brizoides parent. 
Bloom’s Variety —Produces long sprays, each bearing dozens of dainty 
coral-red bells. A two year old plant of this variety will often produce 
as many as 80 flowering stems. 
Mary Rose —Profusion of clear pink flowers. Very neat habit. 
Heuchera sanguinea section —These varieties more clearly resemble their 
sanguinea parent. 
Freedom —Light rose. 
Garnet —Very large flowers of deep pink. 
Jubilee —A greatly improved Heuchera Edge Hall. The flowers being half 
as large again and oi a glistening rose-pink. More freely produced. 
Oakington Jewel—Deep coral-red tinged copper Very ornamental 
bronzy foliage. 
Scarlet Beauty —A cascade of flaming scarlet bells. 
Snowflake —A pure white. The only white Heuchera we have ever seen 
worth growing. 
$1.00 each; $6.00 for a set of I each of the 8 new varieties. 
Garden Lilies 
Lilium concolor (Morning Star Lily) —18". A low growing Lily with single flaming 
red flowers. Plant bulbs (which are small) 5" deep. 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Lilium canadensis —3'. A handsome native lily. Blooms are yellow and orange spotted 
maroon. Hanging bell shaped flowers. Plant bulbs 5" deep. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Lilium regale (Regal Lily) —4-5'. Beautiful, fragrant white trumpets with a sulphur- 
yellow suffusion in the throat. Plant bulbs 9" deep. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Lilium tenuifolium —18-24". A narrow leaved, slender growing little lily having 
numerous deep scarlet recurved flowers on wiry stems. Plant bulbs 6" deep. 25c; 
3 for 60c. 
Lilium concolor 
TWO UNUSUAL AND ATTRACTIVE BULBOUS PLANTS 
Hardy Amaryllis (Lycoris squamigera) —The habits of this bulbous plant 
are as unusual as its flower is attractive. In the spring, soon after the bulb is 
planted, a clump of strap-like leaves appear and grow' vigorously until July 
when they begin to yellow and eventually dry up completely. In August 
shoots appear from the apparently dead plants, rise to the height of about 
2H' and break into clusters of rose-lilac lily-like flowers, each of which 
averages about 3" in length. Protected in winter with a light covering of salt 
hay or evergreen boughs, these plants increase in size and beauty each year. 
You will find them an unusual and beautiful addition to your garden. $1.00 
each. 
Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) —An old time bulbous 
plant overlooked by present day growers. This little lily sends up tufts of 
grass-like leaves, margined white, through which clusters of inch wide white 
lilies thrust their way in June. The foliage dies completely to the ground in 
later summer. These plants are entirely hardy and live on for years, forming 
dense drifts of snowy white under apple trees or in the bays of the shrub 
borders. A fine edging plant for the perennial border. 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Lobelia hybrid. Illumination (Cardinal Flower) — 2-3'. Spikes of flowers so 
brilliantly colored as to be dazzling in the sunlight. Probably the most highly colored 
of any hardy perennial, these fine new hybrids produce 3' scapes of large glossy scarlet 
flowers, strikingly set off by the dark purplish-red foliage. Illumination, true to its 
name, will prove the August high color spot in any garden. 50c; 3 for $1.35. 
Mertensia virginica (Virginia Cowslip) —15". The well known and very popular 
early spring flowering Mertensia. This plant succeeds well in full or partial snade, 
blooming its clusters of blue flowers, fading to pink, in the early spring. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Myosotis, Pink Beauty 
Myosotis palustris, Pearl of Ronnenberg (Forget-me-not) —The everblooming 
blue Forget-me-not. An improved variety of the dainty, beloved Forget-me-not. 
Grows equally well beside the water or in the garden and makes an especially attrac¬ 
tive ground cover in the tulip bed. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Myosotis palustris roseus. Pink Beauty (Pink-flowered Forget-me-not) —We 
are introducing this Myosotis for the first time as a real improvement over the 
ordinary roseus. Pink Beauty has clusters of large deep pink Forget-me-nots borne 
continuously throughout the summer. When used in conjunction with the blue Pearl 
of Ronnenberg, you will find the color combination a pleasing one. Our plants of 
this variety are cutting raised and guaranteed true to name. We ship potted plants 
only. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Phlox arendsii —18". This useful race of low growing hybrid Phlox is the result of 
crosses between Phlox divaricata and Phlox paniculata. To be sure the colors are 
rather quiet—pinks and lavenders—but what is more tiresome than a planting made 
up entirely of blossoms of brilliant colors? No, these plants of the somber hues have 
their places. Beginning with the advent of summer and continuing till fall they 
drape their dense mounds of dark green foliage with panicles of blossoms. 
Kathe—Purple-rose with dark eye. 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Marianne —Dark bluish violet. 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Phlox subulata (Moss Pink) —Two outstanding new’ Moss Pinks. 
Brilliant (atropurpureum) —A creeping Phlox belonging to the same group as 
the very common “Moss Pink,” that sheet of pink w'hich may be purchased by the 
square yard at almost any roadside stand in the spring. Brilliant has the same 
desirable characteristics of rapid growth and extreme hardiness possessed by the 
“Moss Pink,” but spreads its carpet of bloom in an entirely new’ color, deep red, 
much like that of the old B. Compte Phlox. This is a color almost entirely lacking 
in the garden in early spring. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Camlaensis —-This is an English Phlox subulata, introduced by Mr. Millard and is 
generally considered one of the finest of the now very extensive list of new' “Moss 
Pink” varieties. The plant is very neat and compact in grow’th and the large 
salmon-pink flowers are not only borne in masses in the spring, but also in smaller 
quantities throughout the summer and fall. We highly recommend this variety. 
50c; 3 for $1.35.
