dried flower for winter bouquets. Pkt., 10c. Blooming size plants,

rior to other varieties that we have 
discontinued growing all other spe¬ 
cies of Hardy Salvias. Dwarf, bushy plants 
about 1 ft. high and 18 inches across, com¬ 
pletely covered with deep blue flowers dur¬ 
ing the early summer months and scattered 
flowers later in the season. Grows on poor 
soil and is very resistant to dry weather.

Statice (3 for 60c) 
Hardy Salvia (3 for 60c) 
HOUSE’S LARGE FLOWERED HYBRIDS. 2 to 3 ft. Starts blooming in August and con¬ 
tinues in flower until killing frosts. The perennial Scabiosa is one of the most handsome hardy 
perennials, especially valuable for cutting, the blossoms lasting a long time in water; large dou¬ 
ble and single flowers in all pastel shades of blue and lavender. Pkt., 25c. 
JAPONICA. 2 ft. August-September. Lavender-blue semi-double flower. Pkt., 10c. 
COLUMBARIA. A South African hybrid with extra large flowers of soft pink. Requires win¬ 
ter protection in the North. Pkt., 15c. 
TARTARICA is not a true Scabiosa, but the blooms so nearly resemble the true varieties that 
it is usually classified as such. Grows 5 feet tall and each plant produces hundreds of yellow 
flowers. An excellent subject for background Pkt., 10c. 
Tritoma or Flame Flower 
PFITZER’S IMPROVED. 3 to 4 feet. The finest of all Tritomas, the flowers 
being larger than other varieties, on more upright stems, blooms more profusely 
and color is more intense. Many of the flowers measure 12 to 15 inches long by 
4 inches in diameter. They are dazzling scarlet, the lower half of flower being 
tinged with rich orange. A clump makes a striking show, surpassing the finest 
Canna for attractiveness. Bloom from August to October. If roots are covered during the severe 
winter weather, they will live safely from year to year. Blooming size plants, 40c each; 3 for 
90c; 12 for $3.00, postpaid. 
FOLIOSA. Most Tritomas bloom in the fall. Foliosa blooms in May with large flower cones 
10 to 12 inches long. The color is bright, orange-red at first with the lower portion turning 
yellow with age. A tall, strong growing plant, 4 to 5 feet high, and the finest spring flowering 
variety we have found. Blooming size plants, 45c each; 3 for $1.05; 12 for $3.50, postpaid.

walked on without apparent injury.

foliage with strong lemon fragrance. Light lavender 
blooms.

Trollius or Globe Flower 
Spring and summer blooming plants on the But¬ 
tercup order that are becoming more popular each 
year. The plants form neat tufts of dark green, 
finely cut foliage sending up their graceful blooms 
on one to two foot stems. They will do well in 
either sun or shade and make ideal cut flowers. 
EARLY KING. The earliest variety to bloom. 
The flow’ers are at their best during the Tulip sea¬ 
son in May. Deep orange-yellow. 
EARLY PRINCE. Exactly like Early King except 
color which is bright lemon yellow. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. June-July. We consider this 
the best Trollius in cultivation. The rich golden- 
yellow flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are produced 
on 2 to 3 ft. stems with usually one or more side 
branches. The fully opened flower shows a triple 
row of petals with a mass of long golden stamens 
in the center. An outstanding flower for the peren¬ 
nial garden.

30c each; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00, postpaid.
