MYOSOTIS - Forget-me-not 
Their dainty blue or pink flowers are produced freely and are always 
pleasing to the eye, whether massed in beds or on the margins of borders 
or ponds.

will thrive in moist shady borders. Plant in autumn or spring about 
6 inches apart. 
*Palustris semperflorens Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
Large, rich blue flowers with yellow eye; a charming plant for damp 
places and a more profuse bloomer than the alpestris, which also is in¬ 
clined to be biennial in habit. 
Sutton's Royal Blue Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
Beautiful ground cover for bulbs; excellent for cutting. 
NEPETA - Ground Ivy; Catmint 
Really only 3 varieties are worthy of culture, and are suited for massing 
in the garden. The foliage is aromatic and silvery gray, the small 
flowers are lavender-blue. 
Culture. Ordinary soil, well drained, and a sunny position will suit the 
Nepetas. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 inches apart. Best in masses. 
!S Mussini Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00

Six Hills Giant Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
Six Hills Giant has a larger and finer flower than is produced by Mussini. 
Its habit of growth is neat and altogether an improvement over the old 
variety Mussini. The flowers are excellent for picking and make a fine 
show in the border. It is exceptionally well adapted as an edging plant 
to walks in a dry, sunny place. 
Souvenir de Andre Chaudron Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
This is a very fine grayed-leaved plant of upright growth. The flowers 
are pale blue and produced throughout the entire summer. Do not con¬ 
fuse this variety with Nepeta Mussini, the prostrate variety used in rock 
gardens. Souvenir de Andre Chaudron is a splendid plant for the border 
and it does exceedingly well in hot, dry places. It is not only a satis¬ 
factory new border plant, but an exceptionally good item for cutting. 
NIEREMBERGIA - Trailing Cup-flower

bell-shaped flowers. An interesting plant to grow in a moist, shady 
border. Does very well in full sun.

shaped flowers from June till September; most desirable plants for the 
rockery. 
ORCHIS - Hardy Orchids 
Their quaint and curious flowers are most interesting, and as they are 
not particularly difficult to cultivate, those who care for them should 
give them a little corner in their rock garden. 
Culture. A special bed should be provided for Orchids, sheltered from 
the mid-day sun, in loam, peat and leaf mold; give water occasionally 
in dry weather. Plant in fall or spring, 6 inches apart in groups of 
three or more.

The species named below are specially suitable for growing on the mar¬ 
gins of sunny borders and rock gardens, and all make a continuous and

mixed with well-decayed manure, and a sunny position to grow and 
flower freely. Show to the best advantage when grown in groups. Plant

PACHYSANDRA TERMINALS 
Trailing plants 6 to 8 inches high, forming broad mats of bright glossy 
green foliage. A ground cover, which will grow in all shady situations. 
Some of its main uses are: Under all evergreen plantings, under all 
shrub plantings, for areaway copings, for shrub borders, for bordering 
walks and drives, for steep terraces in sun or shade, under any kind 
of trees. 
Culture. A well drained, rich, fibrous loam suits them best. Because 
of the fact that Pachysandras are always closely planted together and 
usually under or near shade trees, it is well to enrich the soil frequently 
with well-rotted manure or bone meal, applied in fall or spring in liberal 
quantities. Plant in fall or spring, 3 inches apart. Pot plants may be 
planted throughout the summer.
