W AVSIDE GARDENS_ n/i e nto r . ohio 
AUBRIETIA - Purple Rock-Cress 
Although strictly a rock plant, yet they are also most attractive 
subjects for growing in masses in, or forming edges to borders. 
They are also much used for carpeting the surface of beds 
planted with spring bulbs. 
Culture: Aubrietias will thrive in any fairly good, well-drained 
soil. On heavy or damp soils they are apt to freeze out in 
winter. Best grown in masses in the rock garden, or as edgings. 
Plant six inches apart in autumn or very early spring. 
Sutton’s Monarch Mixture Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
A wide range of many unusual colors, making a most brilliant 
display early in spring. No rock plants are as handsome and 
valuable as the Aubrietias, Sutton’s Monarch Mixture. Provide 
a rich and glorious color effect. Seed offered in our seed catalog. 
Strong flowering plants. 
BETONICA - Betony 
An attractive border perennial, yielding a profusion of flowers, 
which are most valuable for cutting. 
Culture: Will succeed in good, ordinary soil in a sunny border. 
Best grown in groups of three or more. Plant in autumn or 
spring, 8 to 10 inches apart. 
Grandiflora Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
Close tufty foliage with bright rose-purple flowers on long stems 
about 2 to 3 feet tall, produced during June, July and August. 
A lovely plant for a hot, dry place in the border. 
CALYSTEGIA 
A member of the Convolvulus or Morning Glory family which 
came to us from Asia. Exceptionally useful for covering bare 
ground or stumps, or for rock garden decoration. 
Culture: Best grown in soil not too rich. Impartial to sandy or 
heavy loam. Perfectly hardy and easily grown anywhere. Plant 
in fall or spring twelve inches apart. Divide and replant every 
third year. 
Pubescens, fl. pi. Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
Double Pink Morning Glory. A very valuable prostrate growing 
plant of neat habit. All summer long it produces double funnel' 
shaped lilac-pink flowers about two inches across, resembling 
double Morning Glories. It is a very fine addition to the garden. 
It will do splendidly in dry and sunny places such as exposed 
banks or as edgings to dry walks, where it is difficult for other 
plants to survive. Its constant flowering during the middle of 
the summer when there are no flowers in the garden makes it 
very valuable there also. 
CAMPANULA - Bellflower 
One of the most popular and showy hardy perennials for border 
or rock garden culture. The flowers are all blue and white in 
color, and the height ranges from a few inches to several feet. 
The dwarfer sorts are splendid subjects for edging or growing in 
groups on the margins of borders or rockeries, and the tall 
kinds make an effective display when grown in clumps in the 
middle of the borders. 
Culture: All the varieties offered will succeed in ordinary rich 
soil. The dwarfer kinds like partial shade, and some of the tall 
species, as Latifolia, Lactiflora, and Trachelium do well in shady 
border. Plant in autumn or early spring, 8 to 12 inches apart. 
Carpatica requires a cool position. Species like Persicifolia and 
its varieties should be lifted and divided every second year and 
replanted in good, rich soil, otherwise they will not flower freely. 
Indeed, all Campanulas are the better for a biennial lifting and 
dividing. To insure fine spikes and large flowers on the taller 
sorts, feed freely with manure. 
**Muralis Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
Very dwarf plant covered with blue-purplish flowers in June. 
Fine for wall or rock garden. The most popular wall plant or 
rock plant of the entire Campanula group. 
Rotundifolia Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
(Blue Bells of Scotland or Harebells). 1 foot. June to August. 
In the wild it is more slender and taller than in the garden; clear 
blue flowers. Especially suited for crevices in the rock garden or 
deep slopes, best planted so as to show pendent habit. Does 
well also in light shade. 
CAMPANULA MEDIUM - Canterbury Bells 
Imposing, if not our best biennials. The plants are more or less 
pyramidal in growth, about two and one-half feet in height, and 
profusely covered with large, bell-shaped flowers. Extremely 
showy in mixed borders. 
Culture: A rich, well-drained light soil will grow them to per¬ 
fection. It is well to protect fall-transplanted plants with a little 
dry covering; remove covering early in March before new growth 
starts. Plant in early autumn or very early spring, 8 to 10 inches 
apart, in full sun. 
MEDIUM (Single Canterbury Bells). 
These have the same habit of growth and are just as lovely as 
the Calycanthema, the flowers, however, do not have the so- 
called “saucer,” but are bell-shaped. 
Medium Blue Three $0.75, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
Plants are completely covered with blue bells. 
Medium Pink Three $0.75, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
Same as above with lovely pink bells. 
Medium White Three $0.75, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
Same as above with pure white bells. 
CLEMATIS, DWARF - Shrubby Clematis 
Here we only deal with the herbaceous species, the stems of 
which die down in autumn, and that are of a bushy and non- 
climbing habit. Those offered are suitable for the mixed bor¬ 
der, and make a very effective display when in flower. 
Culture: They prefer a chalky, well-drained loam. Where this 
is not available, mix plenty of lime with the soil. Plant in au¬ 
tumn or spring. In autumn cut the stems back to the soil, and 
give a good mulching of well-decayed manure. 
Integrifolia coerulea Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
A good border plant, growing from 18 to 24 inches high, pro¬ 
ducing its interesting porcelain-blue flowers from June to August. 
CORONILLA - Crown Vetch 
Low-growing or creeping perennials of easy culture. Handsome 
foliage and yellow or purple, pea-shaped flowers are produced 
in clusters from June until August. 
Culture: Any good garden soil will grow them to perfection. 
Plant in fall or spring, 12 inches apart, in full sun. 
*Cappadocica Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
(Ibirica). A first rate and brilliant rock plant. Trailing habit. 
Glaucous leaves and large, rich, long golden flower heads in June 
and July. Three inches high. Galled in England “Lady Fingers.” 
We consider it one of our best plants for low edging. A splen¬ 
did novelty. 
COREOPSIS - Tickseed 
A useful and attractive herbaceous perennial, both for border and 
cut flowers. They are of easy culture, and produce their golden 
yellow flowers in profusion throughout the summer. 
Culture: All require a well-drained, medium soil. They also need 
a full, sunny position. Plant in autumn or early spring, 10 to 
12 inches apart. 
Grandiflora Auricula Superba 
Three $0.85, Doz. $2.75, 100 $18.00 
An improved variety with large bright yellow flowers; one of the 
best hardy plants. Excellent for cut flowers all summer. 
DELPHINIUM BELLADONNA 
The Belladonna Delphinium does not grow quite as tall as the 
popular English Hybrids, but they produce more spikes and are 
more graceful, therefore, more useful for cutting. In fact, they 
are our loveliest early blue flowers for that purpose. They re¬ 
quire the same care and treatment as suggested for the English 
Hybrids, but may be planted a little closer together, 12 inches 
apart is sufficient space for them. Their lovely blue spikes are 
about 3 to 4 feet high and produced in June and again in Sep¬ 
tember. 
Cliveden Beauty Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
This is a fine English improvement over the common Bella¬ 
donna. Growing much taller, many more flowers to each spike 
and of a brighter color. Altogether a fine improvement.
