Perennial Plants 
Brainard's 
Caillardia 
R—Goblin. A really dwarf, compact variety, suit¬ 
able for the rockery, and fine for the perennial 
border. The neat plants are completely covered 
with large, showy yellow flowers bordered deep 
red. 12-15 in. 35c, $3.50 per doz. 
Papaver Nudicaule 
The Emperor. Without doubt the best orange Ice¬ 
land Poppy available, with extremely large, fluted 
petal flowers, many with an extra row of petals. 
The color is remarkably true and the flowers are 
borne on very long, strong stems. 30c each, 
$3.00 per doz. 
Yellow Wonder. This new, large flowered, butter¬ 
cup yellow Iceland Poppy is somewhat later 
flowering than the other Nudicaule varieties. 
The flowers, on long wiry stems, are freely pro¬ 
duced, and keep well after cutting. 35c each, 
$3.50 per doz. 
Papaver Orienf-al 
During the period of flowering. May and June, 
nothing surpasses the gorgeous display and brilliant 
colorings afforded by Oriental Poppies. Whether 
planted singly or in masses they are conspicuous 
in any position. 
Jeannie Mawson. Charming geranium-pink; large 
flowers on stiff stems. One of the outstanding 
pink Poppies. 40c each, 3 for $1.10.

ox-blood red which does not fade. Long, strong 
stems. 30c each, 3 for 80c.

flowers. 40c each, 3 for $1.10. 
Purity. Considered by many the finest of all Pop¬ 
pies. A pure soft pink. 65c each, 3 for $1.75. 
Verbena 
R—Canadensis. A splendid low plant for beds or 
rock garden which attracted much attention on 
our grounds last year. As easily grown as any of 
the annual Verbenas, this hardy, creeping va¬ 
riety produces a great profusion of purplish-blue 
flowers from June to October. Prefers a well 
drained, sunny place and needs only a straw 
mulch over the winter. 6 inches. 25c each, 
$2.50 per doz.
