"Pink Lingard". In character this is exactly 
like the well known Miss Lingard. In the three 
years that we have grown it, we have never 
noticed any mildew or disease of any type 
attacking this wonderful new Phlox. It should be 
grown together with the well known white sort 
as it makes a wonderful companion. The flower 
heads are immense in size and due to its desir¬ 
able shade, it blends in wonderfully well with 
almost anything that you may have in flower 
at that time. It is an excellent cut flower. 
2-inch pot plants, strong established.

PYRETHRUMS 
(Named Varieties) 
Pyrethrums are too well known. Therefore, it 
is not necessary to go into detailed descrip¬ 
tions. However, we cannot help but stress the 
point that the real good double and semi-dou¬ 
ble varieties will be considered unusual for a 
long time. For cutting purposes Pyrethrums 
PYRETHRUMS (Cont.) 
are in a class by themselves and 
they are always striking in the 
better types of floral decorations. 
The following varieties are not 
too plentiful today. Therefore, we 
advise that you make early reser¬ 
vations. While we have fair 
quantities, we do not expect that 
we will have enough to run 
through the entire spring ship¬ 
ping season.

ducing large double red flowers

Huntington's Scarlet. A strong grower; the 
finest single scarlet with a touch of gold in 
the center. Due to their exceptionally large 
size, the flowers are very striking and attract 
attention. We consider this variety so out¬ 
standing that it really deserves a place among 
the better Pyrethrums. 2-inch pots:

PHYSOSTEGIA 
"Grandiflora Vivid" (Tall Type). Similar in 
color to the well known Grandiflora Vivid ex¬ 
cept that this variety grows to a height of 
30 inches. The flower spikes are also larger 
and the color a little more striking. It con¬ 
tinues to bloom throughout the entire months 
PHYSOSTEGIA (Continued) 
of July and August. In floral arrangements this 
variety stands out. Due to its desirable color 
it blends in well with other flowers. This is 
really a worthwhile Physostegia.

TRITOMA 
"Pfitzeri". The rich orange flowers are always 
in big demand on the cut flower markets. 
We have never known any surplus of real 
good Tritomas. If grown in fairly rich soil, a 
plant will produce several first class quality 
flowers. Tritomas should be included in every 
planting of summer cut flowers.

VERONICA 
"Blue Fay". Grows to a height of 18 inches, 
producing light blue flower spikes on 18 inch 
stems. This Veronica is very attractive, due to 
its color, which works in wonderfully well 
with flowers during the month of September.
