NEW AND UNUSUAL PLANTS 
SOME OFFERED FOR THE FIRST TIME -=^<- 
The plants in the following list are, for the most part, either new varieties or new 
improvements of older varieties, the testing of which has just been completed. Sir%:e we 
do not order our propagators to produce unlimited quantities of any new plant until we 
have satisfied ourselves that it has merit, the supply of these new things is limited. How¬ 
ever, we do have enough plants to satisfy the reasonable demands of those sophisticated 
gardeners who pride themselves in having the “last word” in gardening material.

ing in the late spring and the other in the fall 
and both groups are equally lovely.

THE NEW COREOPSIS 
SUNBURST. A new Coreopsis and the first 
double to be created. Sunburst produces truly 
full double flowers which measure more than 2 
inches in diameter. The color is the same 
clean, brilliant yellow as the color of Mayfield 
Giant. Sunburst flowers are sturdy and sub¬ 
stantial and when cut they will keep in water 
for over a week. 3 for 85c; $2.50 per doz. 
MAYFIELD GIANT. The older Coreopsis 
grandiflora was absolutely indispensible both in 
the garden and for cut flowers. If one gardened 
at all one simply had to have it. Its reign is 
over now since it has been superseded by the 
new Mayfield Giant. In addition to producing 
more flowers, Mayfield Giant produces flowers 
over 3 inches in diameter or more than twice as 
large as the old Grandiflora. Finally, the lovely 
yellow color is even cleaner and more brilliant. 
3 for 85c; $2.50 per doz. 
TUFTED PANSIES 
The Tufted Pansies are hybrids of Viola, and are quite distinct from Pansies in 
habit and coloring, and we think far more beautiful. The flowers are unique in coloring, 
and the plants spread from the roots like violets, making them true perennials. They are 
perfectly hardy, enduring the extremely cold weather of 1933-34 in an open border with¬ 
out protection. They are immensely popular in England and Scotland, where they are 
generally used for bedding and table decorations, and nothing can be more charming for 
either purpose. We have always admired these flowers in Scotland, but were not certain 
that they would thrive in this climate, but after testing them for years in our garden, we 
know that they will do as well as they do abroad. The plants which start blooming in 
late April may be planted at any time during the summer, spring or fall. Our present 
collection includes new varieties available this year for the first time.
