ANTHEMIS 
MOONLIGHT 
Tender as a lauert dream 
First of all, the habit of growth of this 
new creation is perfect. The plant devel- 
opes compactly and keeps in its place in 
the garden. It does not wantonly trespass 
beyond the area assigned to it, to the dis- 
advantage or even damage of its neighbors, 
as many plants do. It is generous with its 
flowers, producing them all summer long 
in great numbers. Moreover, it carries its 
flowers proudly at the top of its stems two 
and one-half feet tall so that they may 
be seen growing in the garden, or, if 
you prefer, they may be cut for bouquets 
in the house. And, of course, the flowers 
themselves are most beautiful. They are 
colored a pure pale yellow—a yellow as 
soft and tender as a lover’s dream. And 
finally, the flowers measure well over two 
and one-half inches in diameter. Three, 
$1.50; doz., $4.50. 
DOUBLE RUSSIAN 
VIOLETS 
A halo of romance has always surrounded 
the Violet. At the first sign of spring, men, 
women, and children alike will search the 
woods to gather a nosegay of our common 
wild Violets—beautiful in color but having 
no scent. Women everywhere thrill to the 
thought of wearing a violet corsage at any 
evening party. From earliest childhood to old 
age our love for the Violet never dies. 
Though the flowers are much larger and 
more fully developed, the Russian Violet has 
the same grace and lovely color of our native 
wild Violet. Besides, the stems are longer. 
And whereas our wild Violet has no scent 
whatever, the Double Russian Violet's flowers 
have the same delicate, intense odor as the 
florist’s greenhouse plants. But unlike the 
florist’s Violet, the Russian Violet is abso- 
lutely hardy—as hardy as the wild Violet. 
Like all Violets, it must be planted in the 
shade since in the sun the flowers become 
small and the blooming season much cur- 
tailed. Three, $1.40: doz., $4.00. 
VIOLA ODORATA 
SEMPERFLORENS 
Excepting that the flowers are single, this 
Violet is nearly identical with the Double 
Russian Violet. It has the same intense deli- 
cate odor and the same color. A few days 
of sunshine in the spring and the plants are 
covered with flowers. During the hot and 
sultry dog days the plants are still covered 
with flowers. Finally, after November’s first 
severe frost, it may be possible to stir among 
the myriads of frozen blossoms and still find 
one or two flowers that have escaped freezing. 
Three, $1.40; doz., $4.00. 
GIANT FLOWERING 
MALLOW 
We have thoroughly tested this new Mal- 
low (Hibiscus) and found it beautiful and 
desirable in every respect. It is a hybrid of 
our native Mallow and the tropical Hibiscus 
of Florida and combines the hardiness of the 
former with the brilliant tropical colors of the 
latter. It makes a plant six feet tall and pro- 
duces immense brilliant flowers freely from 
July until frost. 
Red, Pink, or White Mallows. Separate col- 
ors or mixed. Three, $1.10; doz., $3.30. 













SEA LAVENDER 
(Statice Latifolia) 
The famous Baby's Breath is the most pop- 
ular plant in the world for embellishing bou- 
quets, and is used literally by the millions. 
Splendid as the Baby’s Breath is for this 
purpose, the Sea Lavender is even better. 
If the amateur gardeners knew what we pro- 
fessionals know, the nurseries of America 
could not supply the demand for this great 
plant. Its lacy, delicate, lovely lavender-blue 
flowers are incomparably the finest bouquet 
embellishment in existence; besides the plants 
are indescribably lovely in the garden. Three, 
95c; doz., $3.00. . 
SILVER LACE 
VINE 
Almost the fastest growing vine in cultiva- 
tion, climbing 25 feet or more. Splendid foli- 
age never bothered by insect pests. In the 
fall it produces a virtual sea of foamlike white 
flowers borne in great sprays. Really splendid 
for covering trellises, tree stumps, or for 
hiding unsightly objects. Each, 60c; three, 
$1.50; doz., $5.00. 
PENTSTEMON 
GARNET 
A Scientific Achievement 
>> 
For generations those of us who are familiar 
with the gardens of the South have envied 
our southern neighbors their glorious giant 
flowering Pentstemons. We need envy them 
no longer. Our plant breeders took this 
tender southern beauty in hand and after 
years of effort created a Giant-flowering Pent- 
stemon which is absolutely hardy in our 
northern gardens. And what a triumph of 
scientific plant breeding this new plant is! 
In addition to being hardy, it produces its 
blooms in a succession starting in June and 
continuing until frost. The splendid Gar- 
denia-like flowers are colored rich glowing 
garnet and hang gracefully and profusely 
from their 18-inch stems. 
And the generosity of the old South is still 
present in this new Pentstemon—each plant 
will offer you from six to twelve flower spikes 
constantly throughout the season. Should you 
wish a bouquet for the house, these flower 
spikes when cut will last a week or more in 
water. 
No longer need we envy the southern gar- 
dens! We have Pentstemon Garnet, finer than 
anything our southern neighbors can boast. 
Three, $1.50; doz., $4.50.
