HARDY PEREMIALS (cnnlinued) 
Price: 30c per plant, 3 plants 75c, 12 plants $3.00, unless otherwise noted 
Viola—Apricot Queen 
TUNICA SAXIFRAGA 
*F1. PI. rosea—A dancing minia¬ 
ture of the beloved Baby’s 
Breatb in double form. Reign¬ 
ing gayly through the heat of 
the Summer. 
-VALERIANA 
(Garden Heliotrope) 
The variety we have to offer is 
Rubrum. Very lovely rich red¬ 
dish pink heads, growing on 
stems 12 inches to 15 inches 
long. Ideal for cut-flowers and 
flowering from June till Octo¬ 
ber. Plants attain a height of 
about 2 feet and if grown in a 
rock garden, which this variety 
frequently is, we suggest that 
it be cut back from time to 
time. The plants thrive with 
this cutting rather than suffer 
from the same. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
Blue Spire—A hybrid of Veron¬ 
ica Longifolia Subsessilis and 
Veronica Spicata which has retained the glorious dark 
color of Veronica Subsessilis. Grows about two feet tall. 
Bushy habit, and a real addition to the Summer blues, 
which at this particular season are rather scarce. Price; 
50c per plant, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
*Incana Nana—Very lovely blue flowers with silvery leafed 
contrast attaining a height of 8 to 10 inches. 
Longifolia Subsessilis—This is one of the handsomest of the 
Veronica type. It has long spikes of a beautiful deep blue 
and is frequently used as a cut-flower. It attains a height 
of about 2 feet and flowers from July to September. 
Price: $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
*Teucrium—A creeping variety covered with deep blue 
flowers in June. Most attractive. 
VIOLA 
*Apricot Queen—A fascinating shade of apricot that com¬ 
pels the immediate attention and admiration of all who 
see it. The plant has a neat, compact habit of growth 
and blooms freely from Spring to October. The require¬ 
ments for success in growing this charming Viola are to 
locate the plants in full sun and to shear them close to 
the ground twice during the season. 
*Jersey King—In the intensely hot weather the past Sum¬ 
mer, Jersey King did not let up a single minute when 
every other Viola including Jersey Gem simply stopped. 
Deep blue. 
*Yellow Gem—A very handsome gay yellow Viola about the 
same size and type as “Jersey Gem” but in a very bright 
yellow shade. 
VIOLET 
*The King’s Ermine—A beautiful white hardy garden 
Violet coming into flower in early April, and continuing 
to bloom very freely for many weeks. Throat a rich 
purple. 
-VINCA MINOR (Common Periwinkle) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick 
trailing growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early 
Spring and occasionally through the Summer. 
*Alba—The white flowering form of the well-known Peri¬ 
winkle. Not grown as much as the blue variety but very 
attractive nevertheless. 
* Bowles Variety—A great improvement over any form of 
Vincas grown up to this time. The foliage is broader and 
of brilliant green. Plant is a strong grower and a very 
profuse bloomer. Flowers larger, of a deep blue shade. 
Price: 35c per plant, $3.50 per dozen. 
VITEX (Chaste Tree) 
Agnus Castus—Gray green star-shaped foliage, producing 
beautiful rich blue flowers from July to September. Will 
grow as high as 10 feet if desired, or it can be kept down 
to whatever height the grower desires by pinching. Price: 
18-21 inch plants, 75c each, $7.50 per dozen. 
YUCCA (Adam’s Needle) 
Filamentosa—Ornamental foliage and flowering plants. 
Makes a splendid foil for the delightfully fragrant spikes 
of creamy white flowers produced during June and July. 
5 to 6 feet tall. 
HandsDRie Heathers 
Price: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100 
Heathers are only beginning to be popular in this coun¬ 
try, and are now being grown in greater quantity than 
ever before. Every gardener wants a few Heathers inter¬ 
spersed in plantings, either Rock Garden or Hardy Border. 
They are very hardy and adapt themselves readily to any 
garden condition. Lovely glossy foliage throughout the 
entire season and practically all varieties produce dainty 
flowers in the late summer and early fall. A sandy loam 
with plenty of peat moss produces luxuriant growth. 
*Calluna cuprea—A gay golden heather, burning red with 
Autumn cold, and producing an abundance of lavender 
flowers from midseason until late. 
*Calluna Nana Compacta—A handsome dwarf shrublet 6 
inches high and with a profusion of small pink bells dur¬ 
ing July and August. Unaccountably compact. 
*Erica Vulgaris Alba—A white form of the above, but a 
little more dwarf and compact. July and August. 
*Erica Mediterraneana Hybrida—This little evergreen 
heather has a delightful habit of starting its blooms in 
November and often continuing clear through until May. 
The bells are deep pink. It is a real acquisition and should 
be planted in bold masses for striking effect. 
*Menziesi alba—A white form of the Irish Bell Heather 
blooming from mid-Summer until late Fall. 
*Menziesi Polifolia—This little Irish Bell Heather is like a 
wind blown conifer, eccentric dark green branchlets, and 
very compact. 8 inches high. Large pendant bells; deep 
pink, make this plant a burst of glory during July, 
August and September.
