Shasta Daisy, Esther Reed Hemerocallis, Hyperion 
Dicentra oregana. (See illustration, front cover.) 1 ft. A rare native plant 
from the Siskiyou mountains on the West Coast is this delightful relative 
of the familiar bleeding-heart. Although similar in growth to the plumy 
bleeding-heart, its flowers are creamy white with purple tips. Dr. Gabrielson 
has described the foliage as “silver-plated.” Partial shade, where the soil 
is moist and rich in leaf-mold, will make an ideal location for this unusual 
perennial. May to Aug. 60 cts. each; $5.50 per 10. 
Doronicum plantagineum (excelsum). 2 ft. Combined with May-flowering 
tulips, Dicentra spectabilis, and Phlox divaricata, this tall-growing Doronicum 
contributes a dominant note of yellow. The large, bright yellow, daisy-like 
flowers are delightful for flower arrangements. May. 35 cts. each; $3.00 
per 10. 
Geum, Princess Juliana. 2 ft. Pure orange-yellow is an apt description for 
this new Geum hybrid. The large blooms are produced freely on sturdy 
stems which rise well above the rosettes of rich green foliage. June, July. 
50 cts. each; $4.50 per 10. 
Helleborus niger. 1 ft. Better known as the Christmas Rose, this evergreen 
perennial deserves to be more widely grown in New England gardens. Give 
it a sheltered location in partial shade. Rich, moist, well-drained soil suits 
it best. The plants need a thorough soaking during dry spells, and especially 
in the late fall before it blooms. Cover it in the late autumn with a window- 
sash and you will enjoy an abundance of flowers from late October till 
Christmas. The large white blooms turn pink with age. Oct. to Dec. 
Large, flowering-size plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 per 10. 
Hemerocallis, Hyperion. 3 ft. An extraordinary hybrid Day-Lily. The 
large, soft canary-yellow flowers have distinctive waxy-textured petals and 
a pleasing fragrance. July, Aug. $1.50 each. 
Liatris scariosa alba. 3 to 4 ft. This new white form of our native Blazing 
Star is a welcome addition to the late summer garden and an ideal cut- 
flower. A striking accent plant, it sends forth sturdy spikes of white, fluffy, 
button-like flowers closely set on the stems. Aug., Sept. 50 cts. each; 
$4.50 per 10. 
Shasta Daisy, Esther Reed. 13^2 ft. A real double Shasta Daisy with a 
well-developed, white, crested center. This is one of the choicest items in 
our Catalogue. Grow the plants in full sun and, if possible, in rich, well- 
drained soil. June to Sept. 60 cts. each; $5.50 per 10.
