hardy plant in cultivation, and believe our strain to be the finest 
extant, and we offer these plants for less than they have ever 
been sold for, either in this country or Europe. The 
Gaillardia is, of course, simply invaluable as a cut 
flower on account of its being so lasting when gathered 
and so brilliant and beautiful. The gay blossoms are 
obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to Novem^ 
ber, and the greater the drought and scarcity of other 
flowers, the more the utility of the perennial Gaillardia 
is demonstrated. Some of the varieties of this im' 
proved strain measure fully five inches in diameter. 
Burgundy. This new variety pro- 
duces truly enormous flowers four 
inches or more in diameter—the 
largest Gaillardia flowers in ex' 
istence. The color is deep, rich 
Burgundy-red, the deepest red of 
all the Gaillardias. 3 for $1.10; 
$3.45 per doz. 
Goblin. A new and compact dwarf 
Blanket Flower blooming from 
July until October. When in full 
bloom the foliage is completely 
concealed under the large masses 
of bright yellow blooms with deep 
red centers. When cut the flow¬ 
ers will last a week or more in 
water. 3 for 80c; $2.45 per doz. 
Golden Goddess. For zt least half a 
century plant breeders have been 
searching for a perfect golden yel¬ 
low Gaillardia, and at last in Gold¬ 
en Goddess success has crowned 
their efforts. The flowers of the 
gorgeous new Golden Goddess 
are really colored golden yellow— 
petals, centers, every part of the 
flower is golden yellow and there 
is no suggestion of any other 
color. The flowers are large, al¬ 
most, if not quite as 
large as those of Bur¬ 
gundy. Golden God¬ 
dess has the longest 
blooming season of 
all the Gaillardias, 
even longer than Goblin. In 
our tests it started to bloom in 
late May and bloomed continu¬ 
ously and prolifically all through 
the summer and fall until October 
16th. Finally, the plant itself is 
not straggly but compact and up¬ 
right, and perhaps most important 
it is as completely hardy as the 
old-fashioned types. We, who 
have known and handled plants 
for over half a century, consider 
Golden Goddess the final answer 
to the long-sought-for yellow 
Gaillardia, and we recommend it 
without qualification. 3 for 95c; 
$3.15 per doz. 
Lemon Queen. A new Gaillardia 
with tremendous flowers nearly, 
if not quite, as large as Burgundy; 
colored purest, richest, and clean¬ 
est golden yellow with a bronze 
center. 3 for 75c; $2.25 per doz.

JAPANESE WINDFLOWER (1Z~) 
Coming into bloom the last week in August and 
lasting until cut down by heavy frost in November, 
blooms the glorious Japanese Windflower. The lovely 
flowers are about the size of a silver dollar and are 
borne in tremendous profusion on stems 2|/2 to 3 
feet tall. The flowers may be single, double, and 
semi-double, and the colors white, pink or red. The 
Japanese Windflowers not only create the finest 
imaginable effects in the September garden but are 
the finest of all possible cut flowers. They have long 
been a favorite of Mr. Elliott, and when he was prac¬ 
ticing landscape architecture he never failed to in¬ 
clude them in substantial quantities in every garden 
he designed. The Japanese Windflowers are among 
the truly outstanding perennials.
