WM. BORSCH & SON, Maplewood, Oregon 
D E L P H INI U M— Continued. 
*cinereum —One of the most valuable plants 
introduced in years. Spurless flowers of 
a strikingly brilliant blue on 12 to 18 in. 
stems from early spring to late summer. 
Full sun in well drained soil. You cannot 
miss on this. 50c each. 
Gold Medal Hybrids —Mixtures of blues. 
25c each. 
Pacific Strain Hybrids —The most outstand¬ 
ing development in Delphinium hybridi¬ 
zation, being proclaimed by both ama¬ 
teurs and experts as the most prominent 
in America, if not the world. Very large 
flowers, singles and doubles, in many 
different color combinations of shades of 
blue and near-pinks. 35c each. 
Re-selected plants of the above, marked as 
to color and form while in bloom. Only 
the very best are selected. Please advise 
if we may substitute if we are out of 
color wanted. 75c to $1.50 each. 
tatsienense —Deep blue flowers on branch¬ 
ing stems. Foliage sometimes mottled 
white. 15 inches. 35c each. 
DIANTHUS —Alpine species. Indispensable 
for dry sunny places or walls, and with 
very few exceptions, great lime lovers. 
Like a poor stony soil, but care should 
be exercised that soil is not too loose or 
sandy. While they rather resent too much 
moisture around the crown and foliage, 
they do require it at the roots. A top¬ 
dressing of stone chips several times a 
year is beneficial. 
*allwoodi-alpinus — A perpetual flowering 
hybrid with large flowers, white with 
large pink center or in shades of pink, on 
6 to 8 inch stems. Our plants are grown 
from cuttings taken from selected plants. 
Loam with some lime. 25c each. 
allwoodi hybrid “Crimson” —Large flowers 
of deep crimson on 10 to 15 inch stems 
from early spring to late fall. The major¬ 
ity are very double, although there are 
some singles among the lot. 35c each. 
*alpinus —A very dwarf species with dark 
shining foliage which hugs the ground. 
Large flowers of deep rose with darker 
ring around the eye, on 2 to 3 inch stems. 
Prefers a little shade during the hottest 
part of the summer. 35c each. 
alpinus carmineiis —An improved form of 
the preceding, with darker foliage and 
flowers of deeper pink, with an almost 
crimson eye. 50c each. 
Ariel —For the sunny broder, with large 
bright rose flowers. 35c each. 
Ichmery —Large, double, pale pink flowers 
on 12 to 15 inch stems. A new importa¬ 
tion. 35c each. 
*knappi —An excellent plant for high in the 
alpine garden or on top of a wall, in or¬ 
der that flowers and foliage of plant may 
be kept clean. Of straggling growth, with 
heads of clear yellow flowers from June 
to August. 12 to 18 inches. 25c each. 
* Little Joe—Of dwarf, compact habit, with 
large single crimson flowers all summer. 
8 inches. 50c each. 
*neglectus —The most beautiful of the al¬ 
pine pinks in cultivation. Neat little 
grassy tufts, studded with bright pink 
flowers, with a buff reverse, on 6 inch 
stems. A poor, stony soil. May and June, 
and again in the fall. 35c each. 
*Sp. peristeri —Probably the tiniest devel¬ 
opment of D. deltoides. Close cushions 
like Silene acaulis, studded with stem¬ 
less pinkish flowers. 35c each. 
*roysi hybrid —A very dwarf and compact 
plant propagated from a seedling found 
among our neglectus plants. Rather grey¬ 
ish green foliage, not over 2 inches high, 
covered with bright pink flowers on 2 
inch stems. A real gem for a choice spot 
in the alpine garden. June to Sept. 35c 
each. 
*sundermanni — Pure white flowers with 
the fragrance of Jasmine, particularly 
noticeable at night. 6 to 8 inches. June 
to August. 35c each. 
winteri —Very large single flowers of a soft 
pink .with a large carmine eye on 8 to 12 
inch stems, from May to Sept. 35c each. 
DICENTRA — No border should be without 
either one or both of D. eximia and spec- 
tabilis. 
*eximia —(Fringed Bleeding-heart) Makes 
a compact plant with finely cut leaves 
and showy racemes of rose pink flow T ers 
through a long period, April to July. 
Either full sun or light shade, its only 
requirement being a well-drained posi¬ 
tion. 10 to 15 inches. 25c each. 
*oregana (glauca)—The most effective of 
the dwarf Dicentras. Silvery foliage, 
which is finely cut, and spikes of creamy- 
white flowers, which have pink or red¬ 
dish tips. From May to July and again 
during the fall months. Requires a w r ell- 
drained position with leaf-mold soil. 35c 
and 50c each. 
spectabilis — (Bleeding Heart) The old 
favorite border plant with heart-shaped 
rose-crimson flowers on 12 to 18 inch 
stems during May and June. Prefer a 
shady position in a good rich garden 
loam. 35c and 50c each.
