Phlox, Columbia 
Linum - Flax 
Linum perenne. Another desirable plant for 
the border or rockery, with light, graceful 
foliage. Blooms a good part of the summer. 
We offer the blue variety only. 2 ft. 
Merfensia - Bluebells 
Mertensia virginica. These beautiful Virginia 
Bluebells are classed as wild flowers. They 
bloom in early spring and are a delightful 
blue fading to pinkish shades. Plants thrive 
in shady locations. Better planted in the 
fall. 12 to 18 in. 
Oriental Poppies 
There are few perennials which have grown 
in popularity as rapidly as the Oriental Poppy. 
This is no doubt due to the wide range of color 
in which they may now be obtained, their 
hardiness and general satisfaction. 
They should only be planted in late summer 
or early fall, if you want good blossoms next 
spring. The tops die down after blooming and 
if not disturbed they will last for a long time. 
The blossoms are much used for cut flowers 
and if you will cut just before the buds open 
and plunge the ends of the stems in very hot 
water for a few minutes they will keep for 
several days. 
There are many seedlings offered but we 
have selected a range of color from white to 
the darkest red which have been tried and 
proven worth while.

blotch. 
Mrs. Perry. Salmon-pink.

jfcr bright pink. April. 
Sweet William 
Another good old-fashioned plant, so well 
known that description is not necessary. Flow¬ 
ers in June and is a picture with its white, 
violet and crimson blossoms. No old-fashioned

sweet-smelling and showy flowers. 1 8 to 24 in.

William save in color. All are light salmon- 
pink.

Vinca minor. Periwinkle; Trailing Myrtle. An

too shady for grass or other plants. For this 
purpose it succeeds better than anything 
else in this section. 
Yucca 
Yucca filamentosa. Adam's Needle or Thread 
Plant. A stately, evergreen, thread-leaved

Alaska. A very fine type with large, glistening 
white flowers. May, June.

formed, white flowers that bloom over a
