Platycodon 
Scabiosa (Pincushion Flower) 
PLATYCODON mariesi (Dwarf Chinese Balloonflower). 12 inches. 
Low growing with huge blue bells all summer. Each, 25c; 3 for 
60c. 
POLYANTHUS, Mrs. Carder’s Mixture (Bunch Primrose). 6 to 8 
inches. All the colors of a Persian Carpet. We are offering an 
especially fine lot of these desirable Primroses. The parent stock of 
our plants was a marvelous sight in full bloom—several thousands 
of them in mass plantings of such beauty as to be actually breath' 
taking. The color range embraces every color and color com' 
bination known to Polyanthus. These bright, free'flowering 
plants do well in a partially shaded location which does not get 
real dry in the summer. You will be delighted with the mar' 
velous color a bed of these will present in May and June. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Selected strains of above— Red, white or yellow. Each, 25c; 
3 for 60c. 
PRIMULA auricula. 6 inches. Rosettes of dark green leaves from 
which arise 6'inch flower stalks bearing large flowered, very 
fragrant clusters of blooms in various colors. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
P. cash me ri ana. 8 inches. Large globular heads of lavender. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
PULMONARIA angustifolia. Low tufts of very dark green leaves 
with many short stalked heads of deep, true blue flowers in the 
early spring. Requires shade and moisture. Plant it along the 
moist woodland path or in the shaded garden where few plants 
do well. It will make itself at home in such locations and furnish 
a wealth of blue flowers each spring. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
PYRETHRUM (Painted Daisy). 2 feet. The neat tufts of finely 
cut foliage and long'stemmed daisies of these plants make them 
one of the choicest of garden perennials, and they certainly are 
unexcelled for cutting purposes. We offer single-flowered Pyre. 
thrums in pink, white, and red, and single and semi-double flow' 
ered plants in mixture only. Each, 25c; 3 alike for 60c. 
PHYSALIS francheti (Chinese Lan' 
terns). Two very fine new im' 
portations from England. These va- 
rieties should prove invaluable for 
winter bouquets. 
P. francheti gigantea. Stout erect stems 
clothed with handsome dark green 
foliage; small white flowers sue' 
ceeded by large fruit enclosed in 
brilliant orange-scarlet Chinese-lan- 
tern-like calyces. This variety re¬ 
ceived the Award of Merit of the 
Royal Horticultural Society. Each, 
35c; 3 for 90c. 
P. francheti monstrosa. An extremely 
interesting introduction, totally dis- 
tinct from any other plant in culti' 
vation; stout stems bearing many 
clusters (each cluster contains 100 
or more) of small, divided, canoe- 
like calyces about 1 inch long; bril' 
liant orange-scarlet. Mrs. Carder 
has already begun to use this va- 
riety in the indoor winter arrange- 
ments for which she is famous. 
Each 35c; 3 for 90c. 
PHLOX ovata caroliniana (Mountain Phlox). 12 to 15 inches. 
Very neat and dwarf. Vivid, rosy red flowers brighten the 
rock garden in early summer. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
P. subulata (Moss Pink). Prostrate. Mosslike foliage and per' 
feet sheets of blossoms in the early spring. We offer the fol¬ 
lowing varieties: 
Blue Hill. The best of the blue creeping Phlox. A compact 
grower with masses of clear blue flowers, slightly tinged 
with lavender. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Brilliant (atropurpureum). A creeping Phlox belonging to 
the same group as the very common “Moss Pink,” that sheet 
of pink which may be purchased by the square yard at al¬ 
most any roadside stand in the spring. Brilliant has the same 
desirable characteristics of rapid growth and extreme hardi¬ 
ness possessed by the “Moss Pink,” but spreads its carpet of 
bloom in an entirely new color, deep red, much like that 
of the old B. Comte Phlox. This is a color almost en¬ 
tirely lacking in the garden in early spring. Each, 25c; 
3 for 60c. 
Camla. This is an English Phlox subulata, introduced by 
Mr. Millard and is generally considered one of the finest of 
the now very extensive list 
of new “Moss Pink” varieties. 
The plant is very neat and com¬ 
pact in growth and the large sal¬ 
mon-pink flowers are not only 
borne in masses in the spring, 
but also in smaller quantities 
throughout the summer and fall. 
We highly recommend this va¬ 
riety. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Snow White. Neat mounds of tini¬ 
est deep green evergreen foliage 
covered in the spring with pure 
white starry blossoms. A very 
orderly grower that will make 
no attempt to usurp the whole 
garden. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Vivid. Bright pink with dark pink 
eye. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c.
