Plumbago (Leadwort)—8 inches. The 
only reason this fine plant is not planted by 
everybody is simply because of its difficult 
name. All summer and fall it is full of its 
bright, deep-blue flowers. For borders or 
solid beds it cannot be surpassed. 
Pyrethrum (Painted Daisy)—2 ft. This 
popular plant with finely cut foliage 
produces its lovely flowers in spring and 
early summer. Your choice of red, pink 
or white. 
Pyrethrum, Double Red— 2 ft. The 
double and semi-double flowers of rich red 
are freely produced. Select a sunny spot 
with fertile soil, give plenty of water in dry 
weather and you will be gloriously re¬ 
warded. 
Rudbeckia, Golden Globe— 5-6 ft. 
Great masses of double, golden yellow 
flowers from July to September. 
LINUM, Perenne 
Rudbeckia, The King— 4-5 ft. A new 
perennial of majestic beauty. The large 
flowers (often 4 inches across) of bright 
pink w'ith a large center cone of dark 
brown last a very long time, both on the 
bush and when cut. It starts blooming in 
early July and continues till fall. A strong 
grower, perfectly hardy and easy to grow. 
Salvia, Pitcheri —3-4 ft. This plant de¬ 
lights in hot, sunny places and can stand 
lots of dry weather. From mid-summer to 
October the deep gentian-blue flowers are 
produced profusely and the foliage is a 
lovely gray. 
Statice, Caspia (Sea Lavender)—ft- 
Immense heads of lilac-blue flowers in July 
and August. Good for cutting and winter 
bouquets. We like this much better than 
the common Latifolia. 
Sweet Pea, Perennial— Train this climber 
on a trellis, fence or let it run over a bank 
or cave. It produces its lovely flowers all 
summer long. Red, Pink, or White. 
Sweet William— 12 inches. Although 
centuries old, these flowers are still popular 
because they are so easy to grow and bloom 
so profusely during May and June. The 
flowers are fragrant. 
Sweet William, Everbiooming Red— 12 
inches. Produces bright red flowers all 
summer long. 
Teucrium, Cham. (Germander) —12 
inches. Glossy green foliage resembling 
dwarf Boxwood. In cold sections it is used 
in place of Boxwood to make a wonderful 
low, trimmed hedge. Plant 6 to 8 inches 
apart. Perfectly hardy and easy to grow, 
this is really more like a shrub than a 
perennial. Has rose-pink flow’ers in late 
summer. 
Yucca —6-ft. The sword-like leaves make 
a clump 2 feet tall and stay green all 
winter. Large, creamy white flowers come 
in June on immense, branched spikes 5 to 
6 feet tall.
