Beautiful hardy perennials belonging to the Lily order. For gen¬ 
erations great favorites in all gardens, both here and abroad. 
The numerous species have long, narrow leaves and yellow or 
orange flowers, many of which possess a delicious fragrance. Very 
graceful and stately plants for the waterside, naturalizing in

these plants successfully. They also prefer partial shade, but do

plant every third year to ensure the plants flowering freely.

always of great interest, as this is one of the most famous of 
rock plants from the European Alps. 
LINUM - Flax 
Elegant, feathery leaved free-flowering, hardy perennials, suit¬ 
able for dry, sunny borders or rock gardens. Not suitable for 
heavy, damp soils.

LUPINUS - Lupine

massive, 3- to 4-foot spikes of blue, white, or pink, pea-shaped 
flowers, should be placed in the front rank of hardy border 
plants. 
Culture: They require a warm, sheltered position and well- 
drained, light or medium soil, preferably slightly acid; never 
give any lime, but plenty of water during dry weather. They 
are specially adapted for planting in bold groups. Plant in fall 
or early spring, 10 inches apart. 
Sutton’s Art Shades Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00

beautiful of all hardy flowers. Colors are both rich and delicate 
shades of blue, mauve, pink, etc., and the flowers are borne in

The added novelty of being sweet scented makes these one of 
the best garden plants we have ever distributed. 
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. 
Culture: Most at home in damp positions, as the margins of 
water, but will thrive in moist shady borders. Plant in autumn 
or spring about 6 inches apart. 
Sutton’s Royal Blue Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00

PENTSTEMON - Beard Tongue 
Very popular hardy flowering plants. Most attractive for mass¬ 
ing in beds or borders. They are not only of graceful habit, but 
also decidedly beautiful from a decorative point of view. The 
many species are interesting subjects for growing in the rock 
garden or border. The flowers are tubular and foxglove-like in 
shape. 
Culture: The Pentstemons require a rich, well-manured, loamy 
soil, and a well-drained, sunny place. The dwarf kinds should 
be grown on the margins of the border, or in the rock garden. 
Plant in autumn or early spring. Place the plants 10 inches apart 
each way.

24 to 30 inches long, covered from top to bottom with opalescent 
blue flowers. A beautiful border plant and splendid cut flower, 
lasting for several days in water. 
PLUMBAGO - Leadwort 
Should be really called Cerastostigma plumbaginoides, but so 
well known under the first mentioned name that we prefer to 
offer it that way. Lovely low-growing plants with leathery, small, 
heart-shaped leaves of bronzy green color. The flowers are a 
deep peacock-blue borne in small clusters just above the foliage. 
Culture: They require a sandy loam which is well-drained and 
not too rich. Do well in the rock garden in full sun or light 
shade. May be used also as an edging to beds or garden paths 
and is lovely when plante.d together with Vinca minor as a 
ground cover, using two-thirds Vinca minor and one-third Plum¬ 
bago. Their brilliant blue flowers are most attractive in late 
summer and early fall. Plant in fall or spring, 6 to 8 inches 
apart; cover lightly during winter in exposed places. 
*Larpentae Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00
