SUMMER GLOW (Seedling No. 3-32). 
Towering stems, often exceeding 4 feet, 
terminating in colorful spikes 1J^ feet in

attractive and far more effective. A splen¬ 
did background or cut-flower variety, it

Anemones 
Japanese Bristol Introductions 
The three varieties offered here are highly 
desirable, particularly for New England con¬ 
ditions because they flower in mid-September, 
escaping the early frost which usually injures 
other varieties. 
SEPTEMBER CHARM. (Bristol Nurseries, 
Inc., 1932.) In full flower by September 20. 
Each flower is of medium size, 2 inches or 
more in diameter. Delicate silvery pink, 
shaded with rose and mauve. Height, 
2 feet. Illustrated in color on page 28. 
SEPTEMBER QUEEN. (Bristol Nurseries, 
Inc., 1933.) A desirable semi-double va¬ 
riety that will appeal immensely to those 
who like the old favorites, Rubra or Prince 
Henry. It is earlier, more erect in habit 
and more free in flowering. The color is 
an attractive shade of rosy red. Height, 
2 feet. In full flower September 15. 
ANEMONES, continued 
SEPTEMBER SPRITE. (Bristol Nurseries, 
Inc., 1933.) A miniature Anemone pro¬ 
ducing myriads of single flowers resembling 
Hupehensis in form, but smaller and more 
dainty. Very useful in the garden or rock¬ 
ery. A pretty blending of soft pink and rosy 
mauve. Height, 1 foot. Early September. 
Any of above, 35 cts. each, 90 cts. for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. 
Anchusa 
MYOSOTIDIFLORA. For get-Me-Not-Flower¬ 
ing Anchusa. Not new but so effective and 
so easily grown it should have a place in 
every spring garden. In bloom during 
April and May, making a tidy compact 
plant, entirely lacking the coarseness of the 
taller Anchusas, forming a mound of dainty 
blue flowers resembling the forget-me-not, 
but borne in branchy sprays. Foliage is ro¬ 
bust and has a healthy, attractive appear¬ 
ance throughout the entire season. It is 
best located where the cold winds of early 
spring are avoided. Height, 1J^ feet. Strong 
plants, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. Field 
clumps, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. Illus¬ 
trated in color on page 24. 
Campanula 
PERSICIFOLIA, TELHAM BEAUTY. A 
Giant Peachbell, undoubtedly the best 
variety in this useful group. It produces 
stately spikes, 3 feet or more high, of large, 
saucer-like, rich blue flowers. A most 
effective plant for June flowering. Excel¬ 
lent for cutting. 35 cts. each, 90 cts. for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. Extra-large plants, 50 cts. 
each, $1.25 for 3, $5 per doz. 
Cimicifuga 
RACEMOSA SIMPLEX. Snake-root. From 
September on, this is one of the most effec¬ 
tive subjects and a grand cut-flower. 
Spikes 2}^, to 3 feet high, completely cov¬ 
ered with white flowers lasting a long time. 
Strong plants, $1 each. Stock limited. Il¬ 
lustrated in color on page 29. 
Dianthus 
WINTERI, MRS. BACK. An improved form 
of June Pink with delightfully fragrant, 
single flowers, white with a prominent 
crimson eye. Wiry, branching growth; 
very hardy. Height, 1 foot. 35 cts. each, 
90 cts. for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
Hel iopsis 
INCOMPARABILIS. A greatly improved 
form which should do much to increase the 
popularity of this easily grown plant. Dur¬ 
ing July and August, when cut-flower ma¬ 
terial is not plentiful, it produces large, 
almost double flowers of rich golden color, 
on strong branching stems. Should be 
valuable for the summer or seashore gar¬ 
den. Strong plants, 50 cts. each, $1.25 for 3. 
Liatris 
SCARIOSA ALBA. The new white Blazing 
Star. A magnificent pure white form of the 
popular Blazing Star, growing to a height 
of^ 3 to 4 feet. The imposing spikes are 
more than half covered with clean, white, 
button-like blossoms. Planted in groups of 
three, it is easily the most effective white 
subject in the garden during August and 
September. Equally desirable as a cut- 
flower. We consider it a valuable addition. 
Stock limited. 75 cts. each, $1.90 for 3. Il¬ 
lustrated in color on page 24. 
Hemerocallis 
TWO SUPERB DAyLILIES 
Introduced some years ago, these varieties 
have been so much in demand that they were 
simply not to be obtained in quantity. No 
better recommendation would be possible. 
HYPERION. Surpassing all other Daylilies 
in size of flower and desirable growing 
qualities, Hyperion can hardly be praised 
too highly. Its broad, lusty foliage is at¬ 
tractive throughout the season, making a 
splendid foil for the fragrant, perfectly 
formed waxy blossoms, which are fully 
6 inches across. Color is the soft yellow 
which has made the variety Flava so popu¬ 
lar, but purer and more intense. Strong, 
graceful stems, bearing many flowers, 
complement its perfect habit of growth. 
Height, 3 feet. July and August. $1 each. 
Illustrated in color on page 28. 
MIKADO. A conspicuous variety always at¬ 
tracting attention. Very large, bold flowers 
of rich orange prominently marked with a 
dark purple-red area in each petal. Fine 
robust growing habit. Height, 2J^ feet. 
Late June and July. $2 each. 
SPECIAL OFFER F: 
1 each of these 2 varieties, $2.75 
Nepeta 
SIX HILLS GIANT. More robust and erect 
in its habit of growth than Mussini—other¬ 
wise similar. It will prove valuable for 
strong group effects. Planted individually, 
it is one of the most satisfactory and 
reliable all-summer flowering subjects for 
the hardy garden. Strong plants, 35 cts. 
each, 90 cts. for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
Phlox 
SALMON GLOW. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
1932.) Not entirely new, but so satis¬ 
factory in every respect that it cannot be 
too highly recommended. Lively flame- 
pink, with salmon shades, softened with 
lilac and white tints at the center, the 
effect as a whole being a rich salmon. 
Extremely free. Like its parent, Jules 
Sandeau, it improves with age. Three- and 
four-year-old plants produce perfectly huge > 
trusses from early June throughout the 1 
season. Strong plants, 35 cts. each, 90 cts. 
for 3, $3.50 per doz. Extra-heavy plants, 
50 cts. each, $1.25 for 3, $5 per doz. 
Russell Lupins 
This beautiful European strain, entirely 
new, has not been grown here long enough 
to determine its full garden value. Young 
plants from 3-inch pots, grown from the origi¬ 
nator’s seed, are offered for those who wish 
to try them. 75 cts. each, $1.90 for 3, $7.50 
per doz. 
Two Fine Cornflower Asters 
Stokesia 
LiEVIS LILACINA GRANDIFLORA. Quite 
distinct from the well-known 5. cyanea, the 
color is a very attractive shade of silvery 
blue with a lilac-blue suffusion at the center. 
Flowers are very large, often 5 inches 
across, and can readily be cut with stems 
18 to 20 inches long. Flowers freely and is 
a very useful all-purpose plant. 35 cts. 
each, 90 cts. for 3, $3.50 per doz. Illustrated 
in color on page 24. 
L^EVIS PURPUREA. Similar to the above, 
but more compact and very free. Color a 
nice lilac-purple. 35 cts. each, 90 cts. for 
3, $3.50 per doz.
