BRISTOL NURSERIES, INC., BRISTOL, CONN. 
Evening Primrose, Illumination 
A Glorified Evening 
Primrose 
CENOTHERA, ILLUMINATION. The 
finest Sundrop ever grown. Not messy like 
the type, the compact, glossy-leaved plants 
burst into brilliant yellow masses of bloom 
in early summer and continue to flower— 
and freely—right through the season. 
Easily grown, it is just the plant for a hot, 
dry spot in the home, or seashore garden. 
50 cts. each, $1.40 for 3, $5 perdoz. 
Better G eums 
FIRE OPAL. A decided improvement on the 
old-type Geums. Large, double, brilliant 
orange-scarlet blossoms freely borne on 
2-foot stems. Good plant with luxuriant 
strawberry-like foliage. A worth-while 
hardy plant for the open border. 
PRINCESS JULIANA. The same fine type 
plant and flower as Fire Opal, but orange- 
yellow. 
Above Geums, 35 cts. each, $1 for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. 
Tritoma (Kniphofia) 
GALPINI. Dainty in comparison with the 
familiar Red-Hot Poker, this variety is 
dwarf, has graceful grass-like foliage, and 
produces quantities of orange-saffron 
flower spikes, almost 2 feet in height, from 
July on. This colorful and useful addition 
will be popular. 50 cts. each, $1.40 for 3, 
$5 per doz. 
Phlox 
DIVARICATA ALBA. A grand white form 
of the ever-popular lavender Divaricata. 
The purest white which we have seen, 
showing no trace of bluing. A grand 
acquisition for spring garden color. 50 cts. 
each, $1.40 for 3, $5 per doz. 
A Brilliant Loosestrife 
LYTHRUM SALICARIA, THE BEACON. 
The first and only one of this waterside 
group that we would give garden space to. 
It is a great advance over older forms. 
Brilliant carmine-red flower spikes with 
many laterals furnish ideal background 
color from July to September. Prefers wet 
spots, but at home under average garden 
conditions. Good cut-flower, too. Height 
3}^ feet. 50 cts. each, $1.40 for 3. 
Three Fine Double Pinks 
RAVEN ROCK RED. This low-growing, 
brilliant, very double crimson-red is 
larger and in every way superior to the 
popular Furst Bismarck. It is best in a 
light soil, blooming profusely in the heat 
of midsummer when few flowers are at 
their best. Stock limited. 50 cts. each, 
$1.40 for 3, $5 per doz. 
SILVER MINE. This clean, pure white 
form of the popular Princess Beatrice 
flowers almost continuously from June 
through until late October. Nice double 
flowers and a good plant. 50 cts. each, 
$1 40 for 3, $5 per doz. 
ROSE UNIQUE. That delightful spicy 
fragrance—characteristic of the old favor¬ 
ite June Pink—is abundant in this fine 
double deep pink variety; further, we 
believe it blooms more freely than any 
from June right up to severe frost. 35 cts. 
each, $1 for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
Two Cho ice Pyrethrums 
EILEEN MAY ROBINSON. We consider 
this the finest of all single named varieties. 
Color—a most effective salmon-tinted pink. 
Flowers and stems better than the type. 
Remarkably free and colorful, it is a ro¬ 
bust grower, improving from year to year. 
Few named kinds are so dependable. 
PINK BOUQUET. A new double of splendid, 
upright-growing habit, carrying five to 
eight perfectly double 4-inch flowers on 
sturdy 2-foot stems. Flat, not drooping 
outer rays, color rosy pink, center white 
and full. Fine garden plant—perfect 
cut-flower. 
Above varieties, 50 cts. each, $1.40 for 3, 
$5 per doz. 
Two Fine Peachbells 
Unlike the popular Canterbury Bell, these 
useful Peachbells increase from year to year. 
No more desirable border plant for June 
garden color or for cut-flower usage. You 
will value these improved kinds. 
CAMPANULA PERSICIFOLIA, TELHAM 
BEAUTY. Not entirely new, but so good 
that the true variety is scarce. A vigorous 
plant with many wiry 3-foot stems. Fine 
mauve-blue bell-like blossoms. Excellent 
cut-flower. 
BLUE SPIRE. Rich blue, very double 
flowers. Identical in our opinion to Blue 
Gardenia, both of which are very choice 
and definitely here to stay. 
Above two Campanulas, 35 cts. each, $1 for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. 
New Dragonheads (Physostegia) 
ROSY SPIRE. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc.) 
Similar to Summer Glow, but a shade 
deeper in color. Somewhat more compact 
in its inflorescence, it resembles the rosy 
crimson parent, Vivid, but attains a height 
of 3 to 3J4 feet and is decidedly colorful in 
mid-September. 
SUMMER GLOW. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc.) 
Towering stems, often exceeding 4 feet, 
terminating in colorful spikes 1 feet long. 
Similar to the parent Gigantea, but of a 
rosy crimson color that is altogether at¬ 
tractive and far more effective. Height 
4 feet. In full flower mid-August. 
SUMMER SNOW. Splendid pure white. 
Quantities of 3 to 3 j^-foot spikes in late 
August. A very useful cut-flower item. 
Above 3 kinds, 35 cts. each, $1 for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. 
Phlox divaricata
