Dimorphotheca spectabilis 
The plants are somewhat taller than other Dimor- 
phothecas and produce single, daisy-hke flowers 
about 2 inches in diameter. The color is deep pink 
with a shiny black center. Being a profuse bloomer 
and the flowers on stems over a foot long, it is a 
grand cut-flower. This is the flower to succeed in 
the hot, dry garden. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 
Draba Haynaldi 
A grand little spring plant, forming small, globular 
rosettes which cover themselves in March and April 
with bright yellow flower-clusters. Will thrive al¬ 
most anywhere that it has well-drained, porous soil. 
Moisture should be kept off during midsummer and 
over winter. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Gilia coronopifolia 
BIENNIAL 
A showy biennial growing to a height of 4 feet, 
with long spikes of orange-scarlet flowers. Valuable 
for a mass of color. If started early indoors, it will 
bloom the first season. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Gypsophila cerastioides 
PERENNIAL 
Thick, broad cushions of downy foliage and great 
masses of flowers which would be pure white were it 
not for a thin purple vein running down each snowy 
petal. Try it in a sunny spot in the rock-garden. 
Pkt. 75 cts. Plants, $1.75 for 3, $2.75 for 6, $5 per doz. 
Hollyhock, Annual, Indian Spring 
Silver Medal, 1939 All-America Selections. At 
x^^last we are able to offer a dependable Annual 
Hollyhock which will bloom in 5 months from 
seed, and if started under glass early and the canes 
cut down after blooming, secondary canes will give 
another splendid crop of bloom during the fall. The 
beautiful flowers are semi-double and fringed, in 
shades of pink, the center being darker than the 
edges, which are quite light, giving it a dainty ap¬ 
pearance. Instead of being 6 to 7 feet tall, as the old 
Hollyhocks, Indian Spring is only about 4 feet, so 
the plants will fit in different sections of the border 
instead of having to be relegated to the back. Pkt.

Impatiens glanduligera. Pink Butterfly 
This Hardy Indian Balsam grows to a height of 
5 to 7 feet, making pyramidal plants branching all 
the way up and each branch ending in a cluster of 
lovely salmon-pink flowers. These b^eautiful blooms 
are about 2 inches high and 13^ inches across. The 
distended spurred l3ack petal is slightly darker than 
the rest of the flower, giving it a slight two-toned 
effect. A valuable plant for Ming in spaces between 
shrubs or for quickly covering unsightly places. 
Pkt. 50 cts. 
Ipomoea, Cornell 
A spectacular new Morning-Glory. It is a strong 
climber, about like Heavenly Blue, with 33^-inch 
crimson-red flowers, edged with a ^-inch strip of 
white. The vines come into bloom early in the sea¬ 
son and keep up their display until stopped by frost. 
The large foliage is somewhat like that of the new 
Scarlett O’Hara. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Gilia coronopifolia 
Michauxia campanuloides. Improved 
HARDY BIENNIAL 
The flowers are of waxy whiteness, and resemble 
in form Gloriosa superba. Bushy, well-branched 
plants, 5 to 6 feet high, produce freely a large number 
of Mwers which appear not only in the normal way, 
at the end of the flower-spikes, but in unexpected 
places, such as, for instance, the axils of the stems.
