CHRYSANTHEUM 
NEW HARDY SPOON TYPE 
(Illustrated) 
The petals are rounded to the tip where the lower part 
extends somewhat flattened out, as a spoon would look on 
a tubular handle. The twist of the petals in some flowers 
makes this type unique in hardy ’Mums. 
Pink Spoon. Shelbpink. Single rather than double ar¬ 
rangement of petals. 
DELPHINIUM 
Pink Sensation. (Patent Rights Reserved.) A most interest¬ 
ing novelty and one sure to become extremely popular. 
The plant is very vigorous, mildew free, and grows to a 
height of about 4 feet. It resembles the Belladonna 
type in appearance of the foliage and size of the in¬ 
dividual blooms, and as the spikes have many laterals, 
the display is much enhanced. The flowers appear in 
early June and repeat almost continuously until autumn. 
Light rose-pink, a color previously unknown in Del¬ 
phiniums. Perfectly hardy. Doz., $18.00. 
Yellow. Similar except the formation of the petals is more 
double. Rich deep yellow. 
White. Same as Yellow Spoon; glistening pure white.

CHRYSANTHEMUM RUBELLUM 
TWO NEW EARLY FLOWERING 
Clara Curtis (Pink September Daisy). This very showy 
September flowering pink hybrid of Chrysanthemum 
Erubescens (now named Rubellum) is a real acquisition. 
H undreds of 2- to 3-inch, rosy pink flowers cover the 
compact, shapely plant for more than a month. It is 
perfectly hardy. Doz., $5.00; 100, $42.50. 
Elizabeth Cowill. Those who have grown the dainty rosy 
pink variety Clara Curtis, will appreciate Elizabeth Co- 
will, which is of somewhat more upright growth and 
produces a great profusion of deep clear lilac, single 
flowers in early October. This variety is perfectly hardy 
and the flowers have proven frost resistant. Doz., $9.00; 
100, $67.50. 
DAHLIA - Dwarf Bedding 
Eleanor. A real acquisition. The 4- to 5-inch decorative 
flowers are produced in great profusion throughout the 
summer months and until checked by freezing. The 
plant seldom grows over 15 inches high and the foliage 
is practically hidden by the brilliant orange-crimson 
flowers. Doz., $9.00. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, Spoon 
FUCHSIA RICCARTONI 
Scarlet Beauty. After growing thousands of seedlings in an 
effort to discover a hardy Fuchsia, some twelve years 
ago, one plant survived a very severe winter. From this 
one plant a sufficient stock has been propagated to offer 
this remarkable novelty in quantity this spring. The plant 
is upright and branching in habit, about 3 feet higb. It 
is in continuous bloom from late June to frost, producing 
thousands of flowers \/i inches long, deep rose-red with 
corolla of mulberry-purple. The outstanding plant nov¬ 
elty for 1940. Doz., $7.50; 100, $60.00. 
FUCHSIA, Scarlet Beauty 
GLADIOLUS 
Oregon State. Expert Gladiolus judges describe this new 
Gladiolus as a greatly improved Picardy. Oregon State 
has more and larger flowers open, in perfect condition, 
at one time than Picardy, but of the same robust habit. 
The color is less harsh than Picardy and in place of 
Picardy’s contrasting blotch, Oregon State is an ex¬ 
quisite blending of soft peach-pink with cream throat. 
We recommend Oregon State for exhibition, and as an 
exceptionally fine cut flower. Doz., $3.50; 100, $25.00. 
For complete list of Gladiolus, see pages 112 to 116. 
LIATRIS 
Scariosa alba. A new, pure white variety which grows 
about four feet tall. Valuable for cutting and should be 
included in every perennial border. Doz., $5.50; 100, 
$38.00 
September Glory. Selected from a field of fine seedlings 
as perhaps the best late flowering type. For the first 
time we offer the plants. Extra long spikes of purple 
flowers from late August to frost. A real asset in the 
cutting garden and borders. Doz., $5.50; 100, $38.00.
