HOODACRES AUBRIETIAS 
Semi-trailing alpine perennials. The catalogs list wall, rock- 
garden and edging plants by the thousands and merit must 
attach to each one for somebody, somewhere, sometime; but 
when the casual visitor comes into your garden in spring it will 
be to ignore most of the demure things, but a good planting of 
Aubrietias will be a feast for all, and one can afford to forget 
their congeners for the time. They just will not be outdone in 
liberality of bloom and insist upon getting started bright and 
early to carry on for a couple of months and scatteringly still 
longer. Their hillocks of solid color, violet, purple, blue, crimson 
and pink tones are glorious. The pale shades from imported 
seeds are not effective. Our development of these plants over a 
long period has brought exceptional size and coloring. Note 
their effectiveness in mass. 
Pink Parachute: Soft dianthus pink. Mounds beautifully. 
Purple Knoll: Rich glowing violet-purple. 
« 
Red Boulder: Penetrating ruby red, exceedingly attractive. 
Plants 40c each, 3 for $1.00, dozen $3.75. 
SEEDS of the various colors, mixed, 50c packet. 
LITHOSPERMUM (Gromwell) 
Heavenly Blue 
The rock garden is really incomplete without this incompar¬ 
able blue plant. It is evergreen and trails as a small prostrate 
shrub. Its mats are covered in May and June with blossoms the 
size and shape oi large Aubrietia flowers, but "heavenly blue" 
in color. 50c each, 12 for $5.00. 
COREOPSIS Grandiflora fl. pi. 
This splendid double form of the hardy bright yellow border 
plant is rarely seen. Our stock produces full double flowers. To 
maintain its perfect doubling the plants should be divided every 
third spring. 50c, 3 for $1.25.
