DAPHNE - Garland Flower 
These shrubs ore of spreading habit and do not grow over 8 to 12 inches 
high; producing delicately perfumed rose-pink blossoms. The flowers 
completely cover the plant not only in spring but again in early autumn. 
As an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it is unequalled. 
It also forms a splendid low hedge along garden walks and around 
flower beds. 
Culture. It prefers a sunny [X)sition in well-drained sandy soil. In order 
to keep the evergreen foliage perfect, protect it with a little straw 
during the coldest part of the winter. The plants will withstand temper¬ 
atures as low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes 
will not grow well in cold, poorly drained soil.

DICENTRA - Bleeding Heart 
Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of Dielytra. The 
species named below have fleshy, brittle stems and finely cut, fernlike 
foliage. 
Culture. Spectabilis should be grown in a partially shady border. Eximia 
will do well in a similar position, or in the woodland garden, or in a shady 
rsook of the rockery. Plant in fall or very early spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. 
*Exiniia Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20X10 
(Plumy Bleeding Heart.) A dwarf-growing sort, with beautiful, finely 
cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers throughout the 
season. Too much cannot be said for this fine border plant as it is 
equally at home in full shade or sun and perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Spectabilis Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
(Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower.) An old-fashioned favorite; its long 
racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; 
it is used also for forcing in the house, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in clumps. 
DORONICUM - Leopardbane 
Very showy yellow-flowered perennial. Their yellow, daisy-like flowers 
are invaluable for cutting. As they flower chiefly in spring, they are 
indispensable in the border at that period of the year. They have bright 
green, heart-shaped leaves which disappear during July and August 
when ttie plant is dormant. 
Culture. Thrive well in heavy soils and succeed in sunny or partially 
shaded borders. Best grown in groups of six or more. Plant in autumn 
or early spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. Lift, divide and replant every third 
year; remove the flower heads directly after they fade, then a second 
crop of flowers will follow. Water freely in dry weather. Lovely with 
pole lavender Tulips. 
Caucasiciim Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25X10 
Large, bright yellow flowers on 2-foot stems; one of the most effective 
early spring-flowering perennials. Effective in a hardy border in com¬ 
bination with Tulips. It is a splendid flower for cutting, as it carries 
well and stands a long time in water. 
ciusi Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30X10 
Grows about 12 to 15 inches tall with large yellow daisy-like flowers. 
Might be called a dwarf Caucasicum. 
Pardalianche (Bunch of Gold) Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30X10 
Of upright growth, 2y2 to 3 feet. Stems much branched, covered with 
small yellow daisy-like flowers. Excellent for cutting and planting with 
Darwin Tulips. Does well in moist soil or light shade. 
Doronicum 
IBERIS - Candytuft 
Although these plants are perhaps more generally grown in the rockery, 
they are equally appropriate subjects for the margins of herbaceous 
borders or as edging to garden walks. When in flower in spring and 
covered with a mass of snow-white blossoms, they add considerably to 
the attractions of the garden. They are of shrubby growth, with dark 
green, evergreen foliage. 
Culture. Grow in good, ordinary soil. Plant in fall or spring, 6 inches 
apart. When plants become straggly, trim them directly after flowering. 
*Little Gem (True Form) Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25X10 
Dwarf, pure white flowers in June. Its uniform, neat habit makes it one 
of our best rock or edging plants; perfectly hardy. 
*Sempervirens Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
Covered with a sheet of white flowers in spring, completely covering its 
rich dark green foliage; a particularly fine plant for the border. Does 
well in light shade and therefore excellent as a ground cover in front of 
shrubs. May be used for edging to parks or walks. Little Gem, however, 
is more formal and upright for these purposes. 
Snowflake Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
In growth the same as Sempervirens but the flowers are fully 3 times 
as large, covering the plant completely when in bloom. A charming 
plant for edging or ground covering, as well as in the rock garden. 
HEMEROCALLIS - Lemon Lilies 
Beautiful hardy perennials belonging to the Lily order. For generations 
great favorites in all gardens, both here and abroad. The numerous 
species have long, narrow leaves and yellow or orange flowers, many 
of which possess a delicious fragrance. Very graceful and stately plants 
for the waterside, naturalizing in grass, or growing in the partially 
shaded border. 
Culture. Any kind of soil will grow these plants successfully. They prefer 
partial shade, but do excellently in full sun. May be grown singly or in 
masses. Plant one to two feet apart in autumn or spring. Lift, divide and 
replant every third year to ensure the plants flowering freely.
