in Oct. Foliage also very attractive. 35c

^aurantiacum—A very rare species, with 
dark green foliage and very large orange- 
yellow flowers on 6 inch stems. One of 
the very best of the dwarf species. 50c

between Geum aurantiacum and G. siber- 
icum. More dwarf and compact than aur¬ 
antiacum, with flowers of the same color. 
75c each. 
*Borisi-One of the showiest of this showy 
genus. Neat tufts of evergreen foliage 
with many branching 8 to 12 inch stems, 
covered with large vivid orange-scalet 
flowers from May to Oct. 35c and 50c 
each. 
*Gladys Perry —A very beautiful pygmy 
form, when established in full flower the 
height does not exceed 4 inches. Con¬ 
gested tufts of olive green foliage and 
semi-double orange-yellows on slender 
stems in such profusion that the foliage 
is almost unnoticeable. $1.50 each.

here from early spring until late sum¬ 
mer, and again in late fall. The large 
vivid orange scarlet flowers come on 4 
to 6 inch stems, doing best in a light 
shade. $1.00 each. 
GEUM Border Geums —Every perennial bor¬ 
der should have a collection of these 
invaluable plants, attractive 12 months 
of the year. Borschs Golden West and

derful dark evergreen foliage.

cross between Lady Stratheden and bor¬ 
isi. Foliage resembles that of Lady 
Stratheden, but is evergreen. Flowers

30 inch stems. Have a long flowering 
period, early May until late summer. 50c 
each.

same parents, but with flowers of rich 
orange. An excellent companion to Gold¬ 
en West. 50c each.
