HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
SWEET WILLIAM (See Dianthus) 
THALICTRUM (Meadow Rue) 
Adiantifolium—One of the most beautiful plants for the garden. 
The foliage resembles the maiden hair fern and the feathery 
white flowers are airy and graceful in the garden or in bouquets. 
Blooms June and July. Height, 2 feet. Prefers a rich loam and 
rather moist place. 
Dipterocarpum—A ver^' beautiful and distinctive variety with 
soft, lacy foliage, growing about 4 feet high. The flowers form a 
large, terminal spray of lilac-mauve brightened by lemon- 
yellow stamens and anthers. Blooms during August and Sep¬ 
tember, making a charming background for the lower early 
blooming plants in the perennial border. 
THYMUS (Creeping Thyme) 
*Serpyllum Coccineus—The favorite Thyme for flagging with its 
myriad of brilliant crimson blooms during the midseason. 
Evergreen and bronzy during the winter. 
TROLLIUS LEDEBOURI 
*Golden Queen—One of the best of recent introductions. A very 
vigorous variety with unusually large flowers of a rich golden 
orange color. It flowers profusely both in early Summer and in 
Autumn. Does best in a deep rich soil with ample moisture. 
Beautiful planted in bold clumps. Price: 50c each, $5.00 per 
dozen. 
TUNICA SAXIFRAGA 
*F1. PI. rosea—A dancing miniature of the beloved Baby’s Breath 
in double form. Reigning gayly through the heat of the sum¬ 
mer. Price: 35c per plant, $3.50 per dozen. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
Veronica Blue Spire —hybrid of Veronica Longifolia 
Subsessilis and Veronica Spicata which has retained 
the glorious dark color of Veronica Subsessilis. Grows 
about two feet tall. Bushy habit, and a real addition 
to the summer blues, which at this particular season 
are rather scarce. Price: 50c per plant, $5.00 per 
dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
Longifolia Subsessilis—Also known as the clump Speedwell. This 
is one of the handsomest of the Veronica type. It has long spikes 
of a beautiful deep blue and is frequently used as a cut-flower. 
It attains a height of about 2 feet and flowers from July to 
September. Price: $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
*Spicata—Flowers in June and July; magnificent sprays of bright 
blue flowers growing to 2 feet high. 
*Spicata Alba—Pure white flowers about 15 inches high. 
*Spicata Rosea—Delicate pink flowers growing 15 inches high. 
*Teucrium—A creeping variety covered with deep blue flowers in 
June. Most attractive. 
VIOLA 
*Betty—A new Viola of a lovely pale mauve shade, resembling 
Maggie Mott, so popular in England. This variety, however, is 
slightly paler in color. 
*Jersey Gem—The peerless Viola that blooms from April until 
snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a delicious 
fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any good garden 
soil, but must have full sun for best results. 
*Jersey King—A seedling from Jersey Gem, and really a glorified 
form of the latter. The stem is longer, the flower more perfectly 
rounded, and the color a shade deeper. In the intensely hot 
weather the past summer, Jersey King did not let up a single 
minute when every other Viola including Jersey Gem simply 
stopped. Price: 35c eacb, $3.50 per dozen. 
*Odorata Rosina—A small soft pink Violet blooming freely in the 
spring and again in the autumn. Delightfully fragrant. Will 
grow well in the full sun, but does best in partial shade. 
VIOLET 
Tbe King’s Ermine—A beautiful white hardy garden Violet com¬ 
ing into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom very 
freely for many weeks. Throat a rich purple 
Yucca Filamentosa (Adam’s Needle) 
*VINCA MINOR (Common Periwinkle) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick trailing 
growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early spring and 
occasionally through the summer. 
*Alba—-White flowers. 
*Alpina—A charming new form of the old-time ground cover, and 
a most welcome addition to the list of plants that will thrive in 
both sun or partial shade. Vinca Alpina is a more compact type 
than any of the others, and produces a wealth of Tyrian purple 
flowers from early spring until fall. Its rich luxuriant foliage is 
very attractive throughout the year. Price: $3.50 per dozen, 
$25'.00 per 100. 
YUCCA (Adam’s Needle) 
Filamentosa—Ornamental foliage and flowering plants. Makes a 
splendid foil for the delightfully fragrant spikes of creamy 
white flowers produced during June and July. 5 to 6 feet tall.
