Oregon Sunshine 
"SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN" 
^OREGON SU NSH IN E. Not really new, for this superb plant 
has adorned the slopes of Oregon and California for ages, 
yet it has been almost entirely overlooked by man in his 
quest for fine garden flowers. Entirely hardy anywhere 
in the U. S. and most drouth resistant. Thrives in any 
well drained soil (even the poorest) in full sun, and may 
be planted either fall or spring. The basal tuft of ever¬ 
green foliage is neat throughout the year and from this 
arise in May many 12 to 15 in. stiff stems which are 
crowned throughout the long summer with masses of the 
most delightful golden yellow daisies. Fine cut. You 
will adore it. (Botanically, Eriophyllum lanatum.) Strong 
plants, 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts; $2.50 per doz. Seeds, 
sown in fall flower the next summer, pkt. 25 cts. 
*OXALIS Oregona. In the Redwood region of California it 
often densely carpets large areas in the deepest shade. 
Most useful to carpet shady places, either under trees or 
on north exposures and is a most lovely associate of 
taller woodland plants. To make a mass, plant the 
runners flat, covered two inches and ten inches apart. 
The large rose colored flowers are handsome. 20 cts. 
each; 3 for 40 cts.; $1.50 per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
PARADISEA. See Anthericum. 
*PASQUE FLOWER. See Anemone Pulsatilla. 
POPPY Olympia. A most unusual and brilliant poppy of 
unknown origin. Spreads by underground runners to 
form a clump, which in time is a broad mass. The flowers, 
4 to 5 inches across, are semi-double, and are a most 
beautiful orange-apricot. Two feet. Flower May to June. 
Cult: As for Orientals. 35 cts. each; 3 for 90 cts. 
HORNED POPPY is Glaucium flavum tricolor and no plant 
that we grow pleases visitors more or gives more effect 
for so little trouble. The foliage is pretty and plant 
stout and much branched, carrying very many showy 
flowers from a clear yellow to flame color through a long 
period. After bloom cut it back and another crop comes 
and then a third. Heat just suits it, it is one of the very 
best drouth resisters. An average plant is 3 ft. high and 
as broad and in flower there is no more brilliant effect. 
25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts.; $2.50 per doz. Seeds, pkt. 25 cts.

PENTSTEMON, There is no finer genus of flowering plants; 
in the world. The garden forms are pretty well known, 
but all too little known are the beautiful West American 
species, than which there are no more beautiful rock 
garden plants. Many of them are splendid in the border 
while many are low and compact, and some are quite 
dwarf. In the natural rock gardens of our western 
mountains they are often the leading feature, and with 
their ability as a whole to stand drouth and root in grit 
and narrow crevices they are ideal rock garden subjects 
Strangely, however, I have found that these same drouth 
resisting plants revel in a well drained loam where mois¬ 
ture is always present, and in such conditions their bloom 
is greatly prolonged. Cult: Excepting confertus, full 
sun. Soil, any that is loose and well drained from grit 
to loam. PI., fall to spring, but they move best in spring 
when growth is just starting. 
^California Blue Bedder (Heterophyllos var. Purdyii), re¬ 
cently named in my honor, I discovered years ago and 
sent out under the very appropriate name, “California 
Blue Bedder.” It is a decumbent form found only in 
my immediate locality and is particularly suited to rock 
gardens. Makes a low mass 5 to 8 inches high and if not 
allowed to seed, from May through the entire summer, 
produces great quantities of blue to pinkish lavender 
flowers of great beauty. 25 cts. each; 3 for 45 cts.; $1.50 
per doz. Seeds, pkt. 25 cts. 
Heterophyllus “Erectus,” has all of the charm and beauty 
of California Blue Bedder, but is of erect habit, making 
it a most fitting plant for the hardy border. 12 to 18 
inches high with blue flowers. 25 cts. each; 3 for 45 
cts.; $1.50 per doz. Seeds, pkt. 25 cts. 
Laetus var. Typicus. 18 in. high, Avith slender erect stems 
and long spikes of deep blue flowers, with contrasting 
white stamens. A splendid garden and cut flower. Plants, 
25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. Seeds, pkt. 25 cts. 
*Newberyii (“Mountain Pride” of the Sierras), makes a low 
and flat, not at all dense mat of dark green and the 
bright rosy flowers are borne just above foliage. Flowers 
all summer. One of the notable Sierran plants. 30 cts. 
each; 3 for 75 cts. 
Hirsutus (Pubescens). A much neglected and very worth 
while species. From a base of ruddy lanceolate leaves 
12 to 24 inches, stems arise, bearing very long panicles of 
soft porcelain blue flowers from June to September. Fine 
for a bold mass in the rock garden and a lovely border 
plant. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. Seeds, pkt. 25 cts. 
Rattani. Habit is similar to Hirsutus, 12 to 18 inches high 
with odd and quite large blue flowers. Quite easy and 
showy. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. Seeds, pkt. 25 cts. 
PHLOX, Mossy or Creeping. Splendid plants needing no 
introduction, without which no rock garden is complete. 
**Adsurgens. A most loA'ely alpine species from Southern 
Oregon, with trailing mats of glossy foliage and large 
flowers of a delicate salmon-rose in May and June. Cult: 
Some shade and a loamy soil, rich in humus. Must haA 7 e 
constant root moisture. 35 cts. each. 
*Amoena. Has a low mass of shining foliage with a wealth 
of delightful, bright salmon-rose flowers in May and at 
intervals through the summer. Cult: Sun to light shade. 
Soil, any but it is in good loam with abundant moisture 
that it is at its best. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. 
*Subulata, the Mossy Creeping Phlox so popular in the rock 
gardens of Europe. With neat moss-like evergreen 
foliage all the year, it is completely hidden under the 
shimmering masses of flowers in early spring, giving 
marvelously fine effects on walls, in the rock garden, or 
as a border edging. Cult: Full sun. Soil, any light soil, 
not too rich; will withstand drouth and hard conditions. 
Shear back every year. Prop., layers. 
Subulata Varieties: 
*Alba. Compact, pure white. 
*Rosea. Compact. Deep rose with darker eye. 
*Sensation. Shimmering lilac.
