New Red 
SPIREA, HADES 
We are having difficulty trying to tell you just how red 
the flowers of the new Red Spirea Hades actually are. 
If we merely said they were red and let it go at that, this 
would be an understatement. The red of the flowers is 
hotter, more intense, more fiery than any red one ordinarily 
sees not even excepting the red paint on a new fire engine. 
Certainly we have never seen a red to surpass it in depth 
and brilliancy in fabrics, on vehicles, or in other flowers. 
The new red Spirea Hades is a perennial Spirea and 
not a shrub and so belongs in the garden. Like most her- 
baceous perennials, they must have a rich moist soil and 
should be grown in a shaded position. The flower stocks 
are two feet or more tall and the flowers are produced in 
dense feathery plumes. The color of the flowers is, as you 
may now suspect, really red. 
Better plant Spirea Hades off a little by itself. Its in- 
tense brilliant color may make your other garden favorites 
look a little pale and wan by comparison. Three, $1.50;

Gaillardias 
ENDURING AS THE ROCK OF AGES 
We consider the Gaillardia the most beautiful and desirable hardy 
plant in cultivation, and believe our strain to be the finest extant, and 
we offer these plants for less than they have ever been sold for, either 
in this country or Europe. The Gaillardia is, of course, simply invalu- 
able as a cut flower on account of its being so lasting when gathered 
and so brilliant and beautiful. The gay blossoms are obtainable in 
perpetual profusion from June to November, and the greater the 
drought and scarcity of other flowers, the more the utility of the 
perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. Some of the varieties of this 
improved strain measure fully five inches in diameter. 
RUBY. This new variety produces truly other color. The flowers are large, al-: 
enormous flowers four inches or more in 
diameter—the largest Gaillardia flowers in 
existence. The color is deep, rich ruby- 
red, the deepest red of all the Gaillardias.

SUN GOD. For at least half a century plant 
breeders have been searching for a perfect 
golden yellow Gaillardia, and at last in 
Sun God success has crowned their efforts. 
The flowers of the gorgeous new Sun God 
are really colored golden yellow—petals, 
centers, every part of the flower is golden 
most, if not quite as large as those of 
Ruby. Sun God has the longest bloom- 
ing season of all the Gaillardias. In our 
tests it started to bloom in late May and 
bloomed continuously and prolifically all 
through the summer and fall until Octo- 
ber 16th. We, who have known and 
handled plants for over half a century, 
consider Sun God the final answer to the 
long-sought-for yellow Gaillardia, and 
we recommend it without qualification.

Long-Spurred 
AQUILEGIA 
Centuries before the modern Long-Spurred Columbines were thought of, 
Aquilegia were loved and cherished as being the most valuable of all garden 
plants. Without Aquilegia, our ancestors thought, it couldn’t be a garden. 
Now that the dreams of the plant breeders have come true and this, the newest 
race of Columbines and by far the finest race in existence, is an accomplished 
fact, the Aquilegia are more popular than ever. These Giant Hybrid Colum- 
bines are the last word from the great plant breeders of Columbines and repre- 
sent a tremendous advance over the older sorts.
