Perennial Plants 
Brainards 
Helianthemum 
R — Rhodanthe Carneum. A really splendid subject 
for rock garden or as a low plant in the peren¬ 
nial garden, almost covered during June and 
July with showy, single pink flowers. An added 
feature is its glistening silvery, foliage. Crows 
about 10 inches tall. Likes a dry location. 25c 
each, $2.50 per doz. 
Physostegia 
Vivid. This is a vast improvement over the older 
variety and we particularly like it as it does not 
grow as rampant nor as tall. A beautiful dis¬ 
play of large spikes of rose pink flowers in 
August and September. 1 Vz ft. 30c each, $3.00 
per doz. 
Potentilla 
R — Verna Nana. A beautiful early spring flower¬ 
ing rock garden or border perennial. One of 
the finest of the Cinquefoils. It’s small, golden 
yellow, strawberry blossom-like flowers com¬ 
pletely cover its mass of low, dainty foliage. 
Entire height 4 to 5 inches. 30c each, $3.00 
per doz. 
Shasta Daisy 
R — Frilled Shasta Daisy Dainty Veil. The con¬ 
tinual re-selection of the former variety Bur¬ 
bank Frilled has given us this much preferred 
plant, slightly dwarfer in growth, more prolific 
in bloom, with a much greater uniformity of 
laciniation or fringed petals and of really more 
robust growth. Flowers are waxy-white with 
bright yellow daisy-like center and, contrary to 
most Shasta Daisies, its flowering time is July 
and August. 40c each, $4.00 per doz. 
Trollius 
Ledebouri, Golden Queen. Of English origin, this 
variety has extra large, semi-double, globular 
flowers of deep golden yellow during late May 
and June, and at intervals during the summer 
and fall. Does well in partial shade. 2 to 2Vi 
ft. We highly recommend this splendid sort.' 
35c each, $3.50 per doz. 
Veronica 
R—Corymbosa Stricta. In this we have an especial¬ 
ly fine variety resembling the ever popular 
Veronica Incana in most all characteristics, hav¬ 
ing dark green foliage in place of the silvery 
foliage of Incana. The plants, growing 8 to 1 0 
inches tall, produce beautiful spikes of intense 
amethyst-blue flowers in July and August. 35c 
each, $3.50 per doz. 
R—Elegans Rosea. We consider this a valuable 
addition to the many useful varieties of Veron¬ 
ica. Grows in neat clumps of dark green leaves 
from which rise erectly short spikes of light 
rose pink flowers in June and July. Entire plant 
about 10 inches tall. Splendid for rockery or 
low border. 25c each, $2.50 per doz.
