SELECT HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS — Continued 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, King Cushion. 12 inches. Bronze- 
flowered companion to preceding. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
C. , Queen Cushion. 12 inches. Pale pink member of this free- 
flowering group. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
CYNOGLOSSUM nervosum (Chinese Forget-me-not). 18 
inches. This plant from the Orient is a decided improve¬ 
ment over Anchusa myosotidiflora which it greatly re¬ 
sembles. Its Forget-me-not-like flowers are deepest blue, 
each beautifully set off by a cluster of red stamens at the 
throat. Its broad chimps of dark green are sprinkled with 
bloom from May till August and offer fine material for 
edgings, the rock garden and the perennial border. Each, 
35c; 3 for 90c. 
Delphinium 
DELPHINIUM belladonna, Cliveden Beauty. 5 feet. The 
universally recognized improvement over the old light blue 
hardy Larkspur. Its clear turquoise-blue coloring, larger 
flowers and more sturdy growth serve to make it the finest 
light blue Belladonna variety. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
D. belladonna, Blue Grotto. 5 feet. A new, very dark blue 
Larkspur which is as much of an improvement over D. bell- 
amosum as Cliveden Beauty is over Belladonna. Very large 
flowers of even coloring. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
DICENTRA formosa (Bleeding Heart). 18 inches. A 
neat mound of pale green, ferny foliage, pink flow¬ 
ers from May to September. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
D. spectabilis (Bleeding Heart). 2 to 3 feet. The old- 
fashioned Bleeding Heart with pink flowers in May 
and June. Each, 50c; 3 for #1.35. 
DICTAMNUS fraxinella rubra (Gas Plant). A very 
hardy and long-lived perennial having rich, dark 
green foliage and 2-ft. spikes of oddly shaped, attrac¬ 
tive pink flowers. Resents moving, so plant at once 
in a permanent location. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
DIGITALIS. The old-fashioned Foxglove, long a fav¬ 
orite garden flower. The following varieties cover 
the complete range of Foxglove colors: 
D., Giant Shirley. 4 to 5 feet. The leading mixture of 
large flowered hybrids. Colors ranging from white 
through shell-pink to deepest rose, usually with at¬ 
tractive crimson or brown dots. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
D., Isabellina. 3 to 4 feet. Probably the finest Foxglove 
variety. Plant bears several spikes of cream-yellow 
blossoms. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
ERODIUM chamaedrys roseum. 2 inches. A tiny tuft 
of shiny leaves, fringed and crinkled, plentifully 
sprinkled with surprisingly large solitary geranium 
flowers of a delicate pink, traced with veining of a 
deeper color and held above the foliage on 2-inch 
threadlike stems. Give it a well drained, sunny posi¬ 
tion in the rockery and protect with salt hay during 
winter—well worth the trouble. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
EUPHORBIA polychroma. 12 inches. One of the best 
yellow rock garden or border plants. Very formal 
and symmetrical in habit. A plant of this variety was 
the center of attraction in our rockery in May and 
June when the terminals of each branch bloomed 
clusters of insignificant flowers, subtended by brilliant 
cups of bright canary-yellow leaves. Does best in 
poor soils. Do not over-feed. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Delphinium Hybrids 
D. chinensis, Cambridge Blue. 18 inches. Dwarf with 
many stems and finely cut feathery foliage, blooming 
continually throughout the summer. Each, 25c; 3 for 
60c. 
D., Hybrids. They bear beautifully proportioned flower 
spikes on strong stems that resist breakage. The flow¬ 
ers range in color from white through rich blues and 
violets to deepest purple. 35c each; 3 for 90c. 
DIANTHUS, Rose Unique. 15 inches. In intro¬ 
ducing this new hardy Carnation we offer a de¬ 
cided improvement over previous hardy varieties 
in beauty, hardiness and habit. Rose Unique is a 
large-flowered, deep pink, fully double Carnation 
with broad, robust, blue-green foliage. It has the 
valuable trait of blooming its spicily fragrant flow¬ 
ers from early summer until, with buds still un¬ 
folded, the real hard freezes of late fall put an end 
to its activities. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
DIANTHUS, White Gold. Lemon -cream in color; 
hardy with carnation-like foliage and flowers. A good 
companion to Dianthus, Rose Unique. Each, 35c; 3 
for 90c, 
ERIGERON, Double Azure Beauty. 2 feet. A new¬ 
comer from England so floriferous that it literally 
covers itself with flowers from early June till late 
summer. The many-petaled lavender-blue Daisies, 
about I /2 inches across, open practically fully 
double, but the petals later fold back showing 
golden yellow centers. A dependable hardy per¬ 
ennial, one of the very few fine garden flowers in 
this rather weedy family. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c.
