pretty, trailing plant, carrying lavender 
and purple flowers. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.

dinal-red spikes. Biennial and likes a 
moist, partially shaded spot. Height, 2 )4. 
to 3 feet. July, August. 30 cts. each, $3 
per doz. 
LUPINUS. Lupine. In June, just before the 
delphiniums flower, the Lupines domi¬ 
nate the garden picture. Planted in sub¬ 
stantial groups, they are at their best in 
early summer, and if interplanted with 
Auratum or Speciosum lilies for late sum¬ 
mer effect, a permanent and effective all¬ 
summer display is assured. A deep, well- 
drained soil and sunny situation are the 
chief requirements. If affected with aphis, 
spraying with Black-Leaf 40 combined 
with soap is recommended, and if blight is 
apt to appear, a thorough spraying with 
Bordeaux Mixture in late May and again in 
midsummer will prove effective.

pea-shaped flowers in sturdy spikes to 
3 feet in height.

teresting group.

$2 per doz., $12 per 100. 
♦NEPETA Mussini. Catnip. Masses of 
lavender-blue flowers from May until late 
fall if the early summer flowers are clipped 
off as they mature. The soft grey foliage, 
when massed, produces a cool, restful effect 
in the garden, and as it does well in dry 
situations or poor soil, it is used extensively 
also for major effects in the rock-garden. 
30 cts. each. $3 per doz. 
Six Hills Giant. See page 11. 
Souvenir d’Andre Chaudron. Large light 
mauve-blue flowers on long, wiry stems

♦PACHYSANDRA terminalis. Japanese 
Spurge. The best ground-cover for mass¬ 
ing in shaded areas where grass will not 
grow. If planted 6 to 8 inches apart, the 
bright glossy green foliage will soon form 
perfect mats, particularly if the soil is well 
enriched before planting and a winter 
mulch of well-decayed manure 1 inch deep 
is applied each season. We suggest the use 
of pot-grown plants except where large 
quantities are required Field-grown plants 
or plants from 3-in. pots, 25 cts. each, 
$2 per doz., $12 per 100.

Paeonia (Peony) 
In planting this fine old favorite, provide a 
good soil, deeply dug and enriched with well- 
decayed manure to which a sprinkling of bone 
meal should be added. The fertilizer should 
not come in direct contact with the roots, 
and the plants should be set just deep enough 
to cover the crowns. While the large two- 
year plants should bloom the first season, it 
requires from two to three years before the 
flowers appear in their true form.
