dealbata. To 2 feet tall, with strong stems 
and coarse foliage, and attractive rose and 
white flowers, all summer. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM. Too well known and too 
diverse a family to need general description. 
leucanthemum, White Swan. This is a double 
form of the conmon field Daisy and is sur- 
prisingly attractive, and no more weedy than 
the Shastas, in fact, not so coarse growing. 
maximum, White Quilled. (Shasta Daisy.) <A 
very good large strain, partly doubled. 
maximum, Esther Reid. The finest double 
Shasta Daisy grown. We have wintered the 
plant from spring setting, but if growth con- 
tinues late in fall, under favorable conditions, 
they are often lost. Stock is very scarce, and 
we offer subject to supply, at 50 cts. each. 
rubellum. To our mind, a fine plant for the 
northern garden, and one that is destined to 
be of great value in breeding earlier hardy 
"Mums. This has single, pink, daisy-like 
flowers, on 2 foot stems, in late August and 
through September. 
rubellum, Clara Curtis. An improved form, 
with brighter colored single flowers. Small 
pots, only. 
FALL-FLOWERING MUMS. Of all the Hardy 
Chrysanthemums which we have grown here, 
or observed in other places, the following are 
most satisfactory and hardy. The Cushion 
sorts, and Amelia, are the well known 
Azaleamum types, growing not over 18 inches 
tall, and spreading to make a large mound, 
that is covered with blossoms. All are hardy, 
with moderate care. The other two are in- 
troductions of the Department of Agriculture, 
and were seen by us already fading on October 
1, 1940. They are practically sure to flower 
in September, are reputably hardy, and are 
very attractive in flower. 
Algonquin. Large, double, brilliant yellow sort, 
growing about 2 feet tall. 
Amelia (Pink Cushion, or Azaleamum). Pink, 
varying to almost white, or to deeper rose, 
on different soils. Perfectly hardy. 
Golden Cushion. A very free flowering, double, 
golden yellow. 
King Cushion. Coppery bronze and red, which 
as it ages, has shades of rose. 
Queen Cushion. White, tinted lavender. Fully 
double. 
All the above, from pots, at regular prices. 
One of each, 5 in all, for $1.00. 
CIMICIFUGA. Bugbane. Tall plants, from 
rich woodland, where they thrive in partial 
shade and slightly moist soil. Foliage is 
always good, and they ornament the wild 
garden, or the shaded border. We have used 
them in full sun, as a foundation group. 
racemosa. A native form, sometimes 8 feet 
high, the tall spike with its drooping white 
plume, appearing in July and August. 35 cts. 
each. 
CLEMATIS. Clematis. Virgins Bower. This 
group of the great Crowfoot family, affords 
much contrast. Some are vines, others quite 
dwarfed. Some have gaily colored large 
blooms, others tiny white ones. All have 
feathery seed heads. Among them are some 
fine plants for the hardy border, not well 
known, though they should be, for they grow 
readily in any light well drained soil. Of the 
sorts we list, all are strong growing, though 
none vines. They are for the border, or for 
specimen planting, or perhaps for the front 
of shrubs. 
fremonti. Grows only 18 inches high, with stiff 
erect stems, and leathery leaves. The dark 
blue bells are hidden in part by the foliage, 
but may be seen as may the feathery seed 
heads. Sells well to all who see it flowering. 
June. 50 cts. each. 

Hybrid, Campanile. One of a group of Clematis, 
sent out by Lemoine, and mostly unknown in 
gardens. They make compact clumps, to 
three or four feet, with many stems, filled 
toward the tips with blue flowers, opening to 
show lighter stamens. Useful for their color, 
and the season at which they flower, which is 
August and later. This has large dark blue 
bells. $1.00 each. 
Hybrid, Cote d’Azur. Similar, but with softer 
blue flowers. $1.00 each. 
Hybrid, Oiseau Bleu. The “Blue Bird’ is a 
fitting name. $1.00 each. 
recta. Almost a vine, and needing support, this 
is most attractive when trailed over a stump, 
or wall, though it grows to about 3 feet at 
most. Large fragrant flat white flowers, in 
profusion, for a long period in summer and 
attractive seed heads. 35 cts. each. 
COLCHICUM. Autumn-Crocus. Large bulbs, 
of the Lily family, to be planted where they 
are to stay undisturbed, in any light loamy 
soil. They will usually persist for years and 
increase, giving much pleasure when the large 
blooms appear magically in fall from the bare 
ground. Again in spring they interest, for 
many have wondered at the seed pods, in a 
clump of coarse green leaves, that seem to 
have come without flowers, forgetting the 
blooms of the fall. before. 
autumnale. Flowers purple, 2 inches or more 
across, rising 4 inches above the ground on 
long tubes, without stems. 35 cts. each. 
autumnale album. White form of the type. 50 
cts. each. 
autumnale major. A larger and stronger form, 
with deep purple red flowers. 50 cts. each. 
(All the above, dried bulbs, from July to 
September.) 
CONVALLARIA. Lily-of-the-Valley. One 
doesn’t need to describe this plant. It is a 
native of America, as well as Europe and 
Asia, and grows in any good soil, particularly 
if partly shaded. Its use for forcing has 
created a great demand for it. There are 
several forms not well known, however, of 
which we have a few. 
The common type. This year we have 
divided them, and offer a single bud, or pip, 
tied in bundles. This is the best way to estab- 
lish a bed. Space each pip, six inches apart, 
at least. 10 for 50 cts.; 25 for $1.00. 
majalis flore pleno. A strong growing sort, 
with an extra set of petals in the bell. Each 
pip, 25 cts. 
majalis. 
All Perennial Plants 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $18 per 100 unless otherwise noted, 
POSTPAID east of the Mississippi; add 5 PERCENT WEST. Five 
of one kind or variety exactly alike at 10 rate, 25 at 100 rate.
