HARDY BIENNIAL 
The flowers are of waxy whiteness, and resemble 
in form Gloriosa superba. Bushy, well-branched 
plants, 5 to 6 feet high, produce freely a large number 
of flowers which appear not only in the normal way, 
at the end of the flower- 
spikes,’but in unexpected 
places, such as, for in¬ 
stance, the axils of the 
stems. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Hypericum 
grandiflorum 
A vigorous St. John’s- 
Wort with larger blooms 
than usual. Like all of its 
family, the blue-green 
leaflets are a beautiful 
background for the cop¬ 
per-colored buds which 
open into large golden yel¬ 
low flowers during May 
and June. A splendid 
rockery plant. Pkt. 75 cts. 
Four King Larkspurs 
WHITE KING. Special Mention, 1937 All-

a pure glistening white. Pkt. 50 cts. 
CORAL KING. Novelty, 1937. The color im¬ 
pression is pale, delicate coral-pink with a salmon 
tint—something new in Larkspurs. Pkt. 50 cts.

Super Larkspurs, with the same large double flowers 
but of an exquisite shade of blue. Pkt. 50 cts. 
ROSE KING. Like the others of this famous

exquisite shade of rose. Pkt. 50 cts.

Russell Lupins

work of George Russell, an English gardener who 
became interested in these flowers at the age of 60. 
The plants vary in height; there are some dwarf, 
only 12 inches tall, and some almost 5 feet, but the 
average is 3 Lj to 4 feet, with erect flower-spikes of 
new colors. There are pure yellows, oranges, and 
rich bright crimsons as well as any number of attrac¬ 
tive bicolors. Trial pkt. 25 cts., small pkt. 75 cts., 
medium pkt. $1.25, large pkt. $2.50. 
Milla biflora. Starlight 
The Mexican Star is one of the loveliest of all the 
many lovely flowers to come out of Mexico. Blooms 
are 6-petaled stars of waxy white, about 2^2 inches 
across, three to five of them appearing on 6-inch 
stems from each basal stem, the entire height being 
about V/ 2 feet. Not only are the flowers chastely 
beautiful but their fragrance is divine. The foliage 
is round like that of the onion. Blooms are produced 
during July and October and last a long time. Their 
beauty, fragrance, and lastingness make them ideal 
cut-flowers. The bulbs are not hardy and should be 
treated like gladiolus. $2.50 per doz., $18 per 100.
