BABY'S BREATH 
Gypsophila ^ ite ft in £5iy summer 
and usually again the latter part of the 
summer. The blossoms are very tiny and 
come in large sprays. It is almost un¬ 
believable how much charm a spray or 
two of this plant will add to a flower 
bouquet. And for bouquets this plant 
is indispensable.

well in the spring. The flowers and 
branches are a pretty sight. Red flower¬ 
ing. 45c each; 3 for $1.20; postpaid. 
COREOPSIS 
2 ft. tall. A very pretty flower from June 
until fall. Its showy, golden yellow blos¬ 
soms are attractive both in the flower¬ 
bed and in bouquets. Although this is an 
o’d fashioned flower, it is rather scarce 
and deserves a place in any garden.

Hybrid Delphiniums £ , h a e n s t a 
are all extra large flowers, in many beau¬ 
tiful shades of colors; single, semi-double 
and double. Truly a mixture of the finest 
tall growing Delphiniums that can be had.

in height.

FORGET-ME-NOT 
Myosotis Palustris rTi 
blue type, one of the loveliest small flow¬ 
ers that grows. Blooms all summer and 
makes a dense mat of bright green 
foliage above which the sky-blue sprays 
of flowers show up beautifully. I recom¬ 
mend this plant for a ground cover and 
also for planting between the lilies in 
lily beds.

dark crimson color. A new variety and 
very good. 35c each; 3 for 85c; postpaid. 
THE BLUE FLAX 
Linum Narbonense i 6 ro ^ s 
well branched from the root. The color 
of the branches and foliage is bluish- 
green and even if the plant would not 
bloom the foliage in itself would be very 
ornamental. The pretty, neat, sky-blue 
flowers come in June and July. For 
border work and in among other perennial 
plants of this height landscapers use this 
plant in large numbers. 
HARDY FERNS 
They do best in shady or partially 
shaded places. A fern bed is very 
nice throughout the spring, summer 
and fall, and the leaves can be used 
in bouquets. I offer the following 
three varieties as the best hardy 
ferns. 
Wood Fern gJJ.r 
with almost tropical luxuriance. The 
fronds have a certain feathery as¬ 
pect, of rare beauty, and the root is 
perfectly hardy outdoors. 
Maidenhair Fern H ^h 8 
Frond forked at the summit of the 
slender, polished black stalk from 
which the plant derives its name, 
“Maidenhair.” The - recurved 
branches carry on one side several 
slender, spreading pinnate divisions 
of small leaves. 
Ostrich Fern vefops ‘gre?t' 
plume-like fronds of a rich green. 
This magnificent plant luxuriates on 
soil which is subject to occasional 
overflow. Its vase-shaped masses of 
fronds resemble the Cinnamon Fern. 
Does well under cultivation, and with 
plenty of moisture it will spread 
well, making underground runners. 
Price of Hardy Ferns varie¬ 
ties offered above, all nice healthy 
roots, 30c each; 3 for 70c; 10 for 
$2.00; postpaid. 
GAILLARDIA 
Blanket Flower 
18 inches tall. 1 
know of no hardy 
garden flower that would bloom as freely 
and as continually as the Gaillardia. It 
makes a splendid cut flower, as well as a 
fine plant for bedding. The shape of the 
flower is that of the Daisy, but much 
larger, the center of brown-red cushion 
shape, and the dainty flower petals come 
in all colors from orange to deep red. 
with golden rings.

low cross stripes. Very showy foliage, and 
makes nice plumes in the fall. 
Phalaris. 2 ft. tall. Does 
well most anywhere, and 
owing to its neatly striped yellow and green 
foliage shows up well as a foliage plant. 
Ribbon Grass 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Although Perennials will do well in most any ordinary garden soil, I prefer, for best results, a mixture of soil and well rotted 
harn manure nr “leaf-mold.” The latter consists of decayed leaves which make the ground light and very fertile. Dig a small 
barn manure or 
hole for 
available 
the root of every plant and fill in around the roots with the soil mixture as stated. And if no kii 
at planting time, I recommend an annual application of “Vigoro,” a plant fertilizer, m liquid form. 
f no kind of rich ground is
