DICTAMUS (Gas Plant) -—This is one of our most useful and 
permanent garden plants. It is called the Gas Plant because 
the rose-pink flowers are covered with glands which emit a 
secretion that can be lighted on warm evenings without 
injury to the plant. The ornamental gray leaves are de¬ 
lightfully fragrant. Once planted they last a lifetime. 50c 
each; 3 for $1.25; 6 for $2.00; 12 for $3.50. 
EUPATORIUM COELESTINUM (Hardy Ageratum)—-18 to 
30 in. Those who are fond of the lovely blue Ageratum 
will surely find this hardy species even more enchanting. The 
plant is literally covered with true fluffy blue Ageratum 
flowers, from July until frost; the best of all it reappears 
each year without further attention after it is once planted. 
3 for 75c; 6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.25. 
FUNKIA SUBCORDATA GRANDIFLORA—This rare and 
unusual Funkia has large exquisitely fragrant white flowers 
resembling Easter Lilies and almost as large, borne pro¬ 
fusely all Summer long. The foliage is also ornamental and 
quite unlike the lily foliage. They are so hardy that they 
will grow anywhere in sun or shade with practically no care. 
Equally attractive in the rock garden or in a wild garden, 
or in the border or in a bed by themselves. 3 for $1.00; 
6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.50. 
GAILLARDiA—18 in. See color illustration. Daisy-shaped 
orange yellow flowers, banded with red. Flower freely all 
Summer and Fall. 3 for 75c; 6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.00. 
White Swan Double Daisy 
During Autumn, after the flowers have disappeared, seed 
pods form, each pod being about the size of a silver dollar 
and the color of cellophane. These seed pods are very orna¬ 
mental and useful for Winter bouquets, as they last all 
Winter, and the entire plant should be cut down in the Fall 
and used for Winter decoration. 
The name Lunaria is derived from the latin "Luna", the 
moon, and alludes to the silvery moon-shaped pods. It is 
called "Money Plant" because these disc-like, flat silvery 
seed pods resemble money hanging all over the plant in the 
Fall. The appellation "Honesty" is applied because these 
seed pods are transparent and you can "see through" them, 
nothing being hidden, the seeds being visible through the 
pod. Not to be confused with Linaria, which is an entirely 
different and unimportant plant. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 
for $2.50, Postpaid. 
LYCHNIS CHALCEDONICA—3 ft. See color illustration 
page 31. One of the most brilliant of our hardy plants, with 
vivid scarlet flower heads. Flowers all Summer. 3 for 85c; 
6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.50. 
GEUM FIRE OPAL"—2 ft. A new dazzling rich scarlet vari- 
iety with orange 
sheen, flowering free¬ 
ly from May to Oc¬ 
tober; flowers 3 
inches across. Excel¬ 
lent as cut flowers 
and showy in the 
garden. 50c each; 3 
for $1.25; 6 for $2.00; 
12 for $3.50. 
GEUM "PRINCESS 
JULIANA”—2 ft. A 
splendid new Hybrid, 
with pure orange yel¬ 
low flowers on long 
stems. Very free 
bloomer. 75c each; 3 
for $2.00; 6 for $3.50; 
12 for $6.00. 
Delphiniums GIANT MALLOWS 
—3 ft. See color il¬ 
lustration page 31. These improved Giant Mallows have 
flowers as large as a dinner plate in the most lovely pure 
pink, also in white and vivid red. They look much like huge 
Hollyhocks, but the flowers are several times as large and 
the plant more bushy. They flower profusely all Summer and 
require no care. The extra strong clumps I will send will 
flower the first year and increase in beauty each year. 
Mixed or separate colors, 50c each; 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.25- 
12 for $2.00. 
LI AT RIS SCARIOSA '—This is the most showy of the 
Liatris, the flower stalks being 4 to 5 feet tall and covered 
with purple flowers all along the flower stalks. Excellent for 
cut flowers and very showy in the garden. 3 for $1.25- 6 for 
$2.00; 12 for $3.50. 
LUNARIA (Honesty or Money Plant)-—24 in. This flower, 
which is a native of Europe and Western Asia, is one of the 
most lovely of our early Spring flowers. Each plant is a 
veritable bouquet of flowers, beginning the last week of 
April and continuing for several weeks. The plant is of beau¬ 
tiful symmetrical form. The color is petunia violet and the 
individual florets remind one somewhat of Phlox. (There is 
also a white form.)
