BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush) PerlO PerluO 
Charming. (New) This is the nearest pink of all butterfly bushes. 
June until frost. ,The flowers are a clear lavender-pink and 
are especially desirable for basket work because they blend 
well with light blue delphinium and other seasonable flowers. 
We highly recommend this buddleia.

CHRYSANTHEMUM, HARDY 
Astrid. This is a great improvement over the so-called Cushion 
Chrysanthemums. The flowers are single, about 2 or 3 inches 
or more across and of a lovely shell-pink color, suffused with 
old rose and with a bright .^ ellow center. The foliage is a 
waxy, rich, deep green color. Being a hybrid of C. arcticum 
it is exceedingly hardy. Grows two to three feet high with 
strong wiry stems. In bloom, the plant is completely covered 
with flowers _1.45 12.00 
CARNATIONS, HARDY 
Crimson King. Probably the best of all hardy carnations. The 
dazzling scarlet flowers are borne on strong stems 12 to 14 
inches high, just right for cutting. Blooms continuously from 
spring until fall_1.20 10.00 
GYPSOPHILA (Baby’s Breath) 
Repens Bodgeri (NewO Grows to a height of about 18 inches, 
spreading habit. Flowers open white but turn to pink after 
a few days. Starts blooming about two weeks earlier than 
other double flowering strain and is in bloom nearly all 
summer. Good for cutting __ 1.40 12.00 
Repens Rosy Veil. (New) Similar to Bodgeri but the flowers are 
distinctly pink upon opening. It starts blooming earlier than 
the tall vareties of double flowering Gypsophila and continues 
all summer _1.80 15.00 
HELIANTHUS 
Multiflora fl. pi. This perennial deserves much wider recognition. 
The flow'ers resemble small double clear yellow dahlias. It 
begins blooming in early summer and continues until frost. 
Few perennials can withstand heat and drought as well as 
this one. Because the flowers are good for cutting’ it is es¬ 
pecially valuable to florists as a source of sunimer flowers— 1.20 10.00
