RARE PERENNIALS, ALPINE PLANTS 
15 
D E L P HINIU M—Continued 
Pacific Strain Hybrids—The most outstand¬ 
ing development in Delphinium hybridi¬ 
zation, being proclaimed by both ama¬ 
teurs and experts as the most prominent 
in America, if not the world. Very large 
flowers, singles and doubles, in many 
different color combinations of shades of 
blue and near-pinks. 35c each. 
Re-selected plants of the above, marked as 
to color and form while in bloom. Only 
the very best are selected. Please advise 
if we may substitute if we are out of 
color wanted. 75c to $1.50 each. 
Galahad White—Guaranteed white, single 
and semi-double, in mixture. These are 
Pacific Strain plants, one year old and 
have bloomed. $1.00 each. 
DIANTHUS—Alpine species. Indispensable 
for dry sunny places or walls, and with 
very few exceptions, great lime lovers. 
Like a poor stony soil, but care should 
be exercised that soil is not too loose or 
sandy. While they rather resent too much 
moisture around the crown and foliage, 
they do require it at the roots. A top¬ 
dressing of stone chips several times a 
year is beneficial. 
allwoodi hybrid “Crimson”—Lctrge flowers 
of deep crimson on 10 to 15 inch stems 
from early spring to late fall. The major¬ 
ity are very double, although there are 
some singles among the lot. 35c each. 
Ariel—For the sunny broder, with large 
bright rose flowers. 35c each. 
♦glauca compacta—As the name indicates, 
it is of very compact habit, making a 
close, dwarf, silvery, glaucous mat, with 
the bright pink flowers on 1 to 2 inch 
stems. 50c each. 
*knappi—The yellow pink, 15 inches. All 
summer. 35c each. 
♦Little Joe—Of dwarf, compact habit, with 
large single crimson flowers all summer, 
8 inches. 50c each. 
♦neglectus—The most beautiful of the al¬ 
pine pinks in cultivation. Neat little 
grassy tufts, studded with bright pink 
flowers, with a buff reverse, on 6 inch 
stems. A poor, stony soil. May and June, 
and again in the fall. 35c each. 
*Sp. perister!—Probably the tiniest devel¬ 
opment of D. deltoides. Close cushions 
like Silene acaulis, studded with stem¬ 
less pinkish flowers. 35c each. 
♦Rose Cushion — Brilliant rose flowers 
smothering the compact grey cushions 
of foliage. Like a little grey hedgehog 
when out of bloom. 2 in. 35c each. 
♦sundermanni — Pure white flowers with 
the fragrance of Jasmine, particularly 
noticeable at night. 6 to 8 inches. June 
to August. 35c each. 
winter!—Very large single flowers of a soft 
pink,with a large carmine eye on 8 to 12 
inch stems, from May to Sept. 35c each. 
Delphinium, Pacific Hybrids 
DICENTRA — No border should be without 
either one or both of D. eximia and spec- 
tabilis. 
♦eximia—(Fringed Bleeding-heart) Makes 
a compact plant with finely cut leaves 
and showy racemes of rose pink flowers 
through a long period, April to July. 
Either full sun or light shade, its only 
requirement being a well-drained posi¬ 
tion. 10 to 15 inches. 25c each. 
♦oregana (glauca)—The most effective of 
the dwarf Dicentras. Silvery foliage, 
which is finely cut, and spikes of creamy- 
white flowers, which have pink or red¬ 
dish tips. From May to July and again 
during the fall months. Requires a well- 
drained position with leaf-mold soil. 35c 
and 50c each. 
spectabilis — (Bleeding Heart) The old 
favorite border plant with heart-shaped 
rose-crimson flowers on 12 to 18 inch 
stems during May and June. Prefer a 
shady position in a good rich garden 
loam. 35c and 50c each.
