Helianthemum 
EUPATORIUM coelestinum (Hardy Blue Ageratum). 
15 inches. Masses of clear blue ageratum-like flowers 
in September. Fine for late cutting when other 
flowers are scarce. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Gaillardia (Blanket Flower) 
Barnes Ruby. This is one of the finest plants we 
have ever had the pleasure of introducing. Barnes 
Ruby is a brilliant ruby-red Gaillardia, having no 
hint of yellow or brown in its make-up. Blooming all 
summer long as do few other perennials, its vivid 
flowers make a continuous showing and furnish abun- 
dant cut flowers as well. This Gaillardia looks best 
in groups. Our plants are all cutting-grown. Each, 
35c; 3 for 90c. 
Mr. Sherbrooke. English variety. The full, circular 
flowers are of a rich golden yellow with pale yellow 
center, unstained by any other color. The large, self- 
colored blooms, supported by stout stems above the 
pale green foliage, continue from early summer until 
late into the fall. It is so unmindful of heat, dryness, 
and poor soil that it is hard to imagine anyone hav¬ 
ing difficulty with it if planted in full sun. Our stock 
is cutting-grown. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
GEUM borisi. 12 inches. One of the showiest of 
the dwarf Geums. Neat tufts of evergreen foliage 
and many branching stems to 12 inches covered 
with large orange-scarlet flowers from May to 
Oct. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
GEUM heldreichi splendens. 12 inches. A dwarf species 
from Greece showing bright orange flowers in mid¬ 
summer. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
G., Princess Juliana. 2 ft. One of the really hardy 
Geums. Broad clumps of evergreen foliage and very 
large, rich apricot, semi-double flowers on long stems 
from July to Sept. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
G., sibiricum. 12 inches. Fiery orange-red, single. It 
will make a hot spot in your rock garden from April 
till June. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Note—No Geum flowers well until it has been estab¬ 
lished for two years. 
GYPSOPHILA, Bristol Fairy. This well known variety 
needs no introduction. Large panicles of double 
white flowers in early summer. Almost a necessity 
in bouquet making. Each, 50c; 3 for #1.35. 
GYPSOPHILA, Rosy Veil (Rosenschleier). 2 ft. Sim¬ 
ilar to the well known Bristol Fairy except that its 
flowers are pinkish instead of white. Rosy Veil is 
absolutely hardy and its free, long flowering habits 
will assure you of quantities of blooms throughout 
the summer and fall. Try the effects of its pink tones 
in your bouquets. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
HEUCHERA (Coralbells). 2- ft. From neat tufts 
of attractive leaves, there arise in great profusion 
stems of brightly colored little bells. Very hardy 
and long lived. Heucheras are one of the first 
perennials for all round garden purposes. They 
are equally at home in a rock garden or a peren¬ 
nial border and make splendid bouquets. 
H., Edge Hall. Large, pink bells in June and July. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
H. Hybrids. Mixed varieties with a wide range of 
pinks, corals and scarlets. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
We are pleased to offer eight fine new Coralbells 
which we imported some time ago from Heuchera 
specialists in England. The Heuchera family has 
long been neglected. You will find that these new 
Coralbells are definitely superior in all ways to the 
old varieties. They are bright and clear in color 
with large bells, long sturdy stems and highly orna¬ 
mental foliage. You will find them well worth 
growing. 
H., Bloom’s Variety. Produces long sprays, each 
bearing dozens of dainty coral-red bells. A two- 
year-old plant of this variety will often produce 
as many as 80 flowering stems.

duced and a glistening rose-pink.
