GENERAL LIST OF 
PERENNIAL PLANTS 
GYPSOPHILA “BRISTOL FAIRY“ 
GYPSOPHILA “BRISTOL FAIRY”. The finest, largest and double 
Baby’s Breath; hardy perennial. Large roots that will produce 
immense flower heads that you can sell throughout the summer 
as cut flowers. Mammoth roots 75c each, postpaid. 
GYPSOPHILA PACIFICA. A new pink Baby Breath of the small 
Paniculata type. Strong plants, 15c each, 2 for 25c; large, 25c per

GYPSOPHILA OLDHAM I ANA. A new perennial Baby Breath with 
soft pink flowers blooming in tlie fall of marvelous keepiing qual¬ 
ity; a grand addition to the perennial border and excellent for 
cutting purposes. Seedlings, 3 for 25c; larger, 15c and 25c each. 
Plants entirely hardy. 
GYPSOPHILAS do best in rather dry places and not too rich soil, 
and like plenty of lime. 
LUPIN SEEDLINGS 
If you can grow lupins in your locality and in your soil (they 
prefer a warm sandy loam devoid of lime, well drained) they will be 
a joy to you; they really make a magnificent showing and are very 
beautiful. We offer SEEDLINGS for early and late spring delivery 
in a mixture of PINK, YELLOW, APRICOT, BLUE, PURPLE and 
other colors. We do not sell separate colors as they will not come 
true from seeds, these seedlings not having bloomed yet by fall; 
consequently we can not tell the colors. Our strain is a famous 
English strain, having received the highest award of merit from 
the Royal Horticultural Society of England. 
MIXED SEEDLINGS for spring delivery, 75c per doz. Larger plants, 
10c and 15c each, from above strain, NOT the Russell strain. 
RUSSELL LUPINS. The 1938 sensation. No seedlings this fall, but 
we expect to have them for LATE SPRING DEI.IVERY. The 
price will be $1.50 per dozen; 6 for 90c; not less sold. A larger 
size 25c each. They will all bloom the same season. Glorious 
colors. We had many plants in bloom this summer. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
These lovely flowers are too well known to require a description. 
Strong field-grown clumps for immediate effect, 40c each; $4.00 
per doz. Single pips, 50c per doz. postpaid; $3 per 100 by express, 
charges collect. Either fall or very early spring planting; will 
succeed best in the shade or northern exposure. 
ORIENTAL POPPIES (True Perennials) 
For brilliant colors, nothing equals the Oriental Poppy during 
their flowering period. May and June. Often they blossom again 
in the fall. 
Breeders have succeeded in creating colors never dreamed of, 
such as “Golden Orange” (Gold of Ophir), “Coral Pink” (Pink Radi¬ 
ance), “Pure White” (Perry’s Whites), “Carmine Pink” (Wunder- 
kind) and many other shades. 
They should be planted during July and August with the German 
Iris, when they are dormant, and if moved then they will thrive. 
If planted in the spring when growth is active, they will sulk for a 
long time. SO REMEMBER, PLANT THEM IN THE LATE SUM¬ 
MER. They like full sun and good soil. 
All of our plants are propagated from root cuttings of the parent 
plant and are true to name. THEY ARE NOT SEEDLINGS. 
WHAT TO BUY? We have too many new named varieties — 
dozens of new seedlings are coming annually into commerce, and 
are listed by their only distinctive feature which is their name. 
We are listing below a few of the best and most outstanding 
colors, and we assure our customers buying these modern hybrid 
poppies that they will not be disappointed. 
GOLD OF CHPIR. Golden orange which changes into the nearest 
yellow of any oriental poppy as the plant grows older. Sometimes 
disappointing the first year after transplanting, but will repay 
waiting. 90c each. 
M A HO NY. An unusuai color; mahogany-purple or a maroon shaded 
crimson. Very large flowers and one of the darkest of poppies — 
full of black flames. 50c each. 
MRS. PERRY. An old favorite; a lovely salmon pink. 35c each, 
3 for $1.00. 
PERRY’S WHITE. Satin white with maroon blotches at the base 
of petals. 35c each. 
PINK RADIANCE. An outstanding color—a deep cherry-pink. One 
of the finest. $1.00 each. 
PURITY (New). Considered by many to be the finest of all PINK 
POPPIES. The color is a pure soft pink without any spots or 
markings. $1.00 each. 
REMBRANDT. A magnificent orange-scarlet; most gorgeous of all. 
A great beauty. 35c each. 
WUNDERKIND. A super poppy — a gem of gems, of a color that 
defies description — a cerise, or a brilliant carmine pink with a 
10-inch flower on a strong 3-foot stem. Does not fade in the sun, 
but remains attractive throughout its life. It does not produce 
l)ollen, consequently no seeds. $1.00 each. 
PHYSOSTEGIA VIRGINICA VAR. VIVID. 
A valuable addition among autumn flowering perennials, and very 
desirable for the rock garden or front row of the herbaceous bor¬ 
der. The height is about 18 inches, forming a sturdy and compact 
habit of growth, producing a profusion of short well-furnished 
stems of brilliant rosy-crimson flowers. Strong flowering plants 
25c each, $2.50 per doz. 
VIRGINICA ROSEA. Forms large clumps 3 to 4 feet high, bearing 
long spikes of delicate pink flowers in July and August. Price 
same as for “Vivid”. 
VIOLA PLANTS 
JERSEY JEWEL. Deep violet color, large blossoms on long stems. 
A lovely border plant and exquisite cut flower. Likes half shade. 
Strong plants, 25c each. Small divisions that will bloom next 
summer, 75c per dozen. (Not less sold at this price.) $3.00 for 50c. 
MAGGIE MOTT. At last we can offer you plants of this delightful 
viola which came from the true original Maggie Mott, in England 
— NOT SEEDLINGS — largest flowers of a solid helitrope-blue, 
deliciously fragrant. Strong divided plants, 35c each, 6 for $2.00. 
No smaller plants, neither large clumps, offered of this variety. 
It'Should be noted that these Violas are very hardy and, when 
once planted, are good for at least three years. They are, indeed, 
much finer the second and third years than during the first, and 
therefore should be planted where it is possible to leave them 
undisturbed for that length of time.
