HARDY PERENNIALS 
BALLOON FLOW¬ 
ER (Platycodon)— 
White or light blue 
flowers, 2 ft. June- 
July. A good rock 
garden subject with 
interesting balloon¬ 
like buds opening 
into pretty petaled 
flowers. 
They last for years with occasional attention. Planted 
in beds, along walks, drives and borders of shrubbery and 
in rock gardens, they make a pleasing picture. We offer 
the hardy, tried and true kinds that can be best grown 
under average conditions. Space the dwarfer kinds 12 to 
15 inches apart; and the taller kinds over 2 feet in height 
about half the height given. 
Now also come “Rockeries and Rock Gardens” into fer¬ 
vid popular favor. Little creeping, matting plants for cov¬ 
ering the upper surface of 
stones, or moderate upright 
growers of suitable character 
to occupy the earth-filled niches 
between. 
In all descriptions, we aim to 
show normal matured height, 
blooming period, color, and any 
special quality or utility; so 
that the reader may easily se¬ 
lect and associate varieties to 
fit any desired plot or purpose.
