We are continuously being called on for unusual plants. It is a problem to understand just what is meant by 
unusual. This depends a great deal on the source of the question. Even the newer sorts sometimes are not un¬ 
usual to the perennial experts, while to the average buyer almost any plant that is not continuously listed would 
be considered unusual. 
We have here an assortment that may not all be strictly new. On the other hand they are of a type 
for which we continuously receive inquiries. We have good quantities of all varieties listed on this page and 
are able to take care of your requirements at reasonable prices.

ASTER STAR OF WARTBURG 
Large flowers on strong, erect stems. 
Makes a fine display with its dark lilac- 
blue flowers with orange center. Grows 
12 to 14 inches high. In addition to the 
effectiveness of this plant in flower gar¬ 
dens, the flowers can be cut and used 
for table decorations. Their lovely blue 
color with yellow disk works up wonder¬ 
fully well with almost any other flowers. 
It is also possible to cut more than one 
crop providing you cut your young flow¬ 
ers when they are ready. We often see 
this plant produce additional flowers 
later on in the season.

ASTILBE BREMEN 
We imported large quantities of this 
variety two years ago. This is one of our 
many importations which will become im¬ 
mediately popular when the forcers of 
Astilbes become acquainted with it. It de¬ 
velops into large clumps producing 8 to 
12 heavy spikes of dark salmon-carmine 
flowers about 12 to 14 inches in height. 
Our planting attracted a great deal of 
attention when they were in flower. A 
trial will certainly convince you that 
there is something new and attractive in 
Astilbes. Strong established clumps.

DIANTHUS, LOVELINESS 
One of Allwood’s outstanding introduc¬ 
tions, flowers a shade of heavenly mauve, 
with petals deeply cut and Iaciniated, and 
of delightful fragrance. It is distinct from 
all other types of Dianthus, at first ap¬ 
pearing like a large clump of a grassy 
plant form. From these clumps are pro¬ 
duced on the average of 12 to 20 flowers 
on stems 10 to 12 inches in length. The 
flowers are so much different that they 
command a great deal of attention. They 
are very distinctive in any type of floral 
arrangement and also make very attrac¬ 
tive plants in the garden.

DIANTHUS, ROSE CUSHION 
This outstanding new variety is quite 
different from other Dianthus. The clear 
bright rose colored flowers are quite erect, 
they do not droop. The plant does not run 
wild, keeps its shape, very low growing 
and compact, ideal for low borders or 
rockeries. It is perfectly hardy and does 
well in any well drained soil. Consider¬ 
ing the style of its growth it is very at¬ 
tractive even when not in flower.

VIOLA, WEDGEWOOD 
Here is a true everblooming Viola. We 
have grown it in our nursuries for four 
years and it always comes into flower 
along in the month of May and continues 
throughout the entire summer, even in 
extremely dry weather conditions this 
variety continues to produce flowers in 
great abundance. The color is a very 
striking dark violet, similar to the well 
known Jersey Gem but the flowers are 
much larger and are produced on longer 
stems, which makes it an ideal Viola for 
use in floral designs. It is also a striking 
subject for edging any well arranged 
flower bed.
