10 Perennial Plants 
Gardenside Nurseries, Inc., Shelburne, Vt. 


majalis rosea. Pink bells are a bit of a change 
from the clear white. Each pip, 10 cts. 
COREOPSIS. Tickseed. The entire group are 
easily grown in any good garden loam, in full 
sun, and their only enemy is winter wet, 
which tends to rot the crowns. The large 
yellow daisies of the common variety appear 
all summer, and they are among the best 
border subjects. 
lanceolata. To 2 feet high, the single flowers 
2 inches or more across. 
lanceolata Golden Giant. An improved form 
with larger and brighter flowers. 
CORYDALIS. Allied to the Bleedinghearts, the 
plants of this group are of easy culture in any 
good garden soil not wet. They may suffer 
from too hot and dry conditions in summer, 
and further south and are well planted at the 
north of a large plant or shrub. Mostly 
rockery plants, or for the front of the border. 
bulbusa. An attractive little bulbous plant, 
reminding one of a Dutchman’s Breeches with 
rosy purple flowers. It is hardy, and per- 
manent, and forces very readily, in pots in 
winter. Dormant bulbs, July and later, 3 for 
50 cts.; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $12.00. 
nobilis. A deep rooted sort, starting early in 
spring, the flowers in dangling clusters at the 
top of 9 inch stems and foliage. White, tipped 
yellow, and with a purple spot, they are oddly 
attractive. Foliage disappears after flowering. 
$1.00 each. 
CROCUS. Meadow Saffron. These are the fall- 
flowering Crocus, like the spring types, save 
that the flowers appear in September and 
October. Not at all plentiful, last year, we 
depend on small beds of each sort in our 
grounds, and offer for delivery when dor- 
mant, in late summer, only. 
sativus. Lilac flowers, 2 inches long. 
speciosus. Lilac tinged purple. 
zonatus. Rose-lilac, spotted orange. 
DELPHINIUM. Larkspur. Much-loved plants 
of the north temperate zone, including a few 
that are not too hardy. Most of the garden 
forms are_of easy culture in full sun, and in 
any good soil, not too wet. Cool heavy soils 
produce the finest spikes of bloom. Their 
place in the garden cannot be defined. Mass 
them, use them for background, or place the 
lower sorts throughout the border for color 
mass, and they always please. 
belladonna. The best pale blue form, with fine 
spikes to four and five feet tall. 
chinensis. Bouquet Larkspur. Grows to 3 
feet, with a number of stems rather than one 
single spike, or else a much branched spray 
of airy blue flowers. 
chinensis alba. White form of the preceding. 
chinensis cinerea. Low and with many stems, 
making a great mass of fine blue flowers, just 
above the foliage. 

Hybrid, Moerheimi. The first pure white Lark- 
spur, and still very fine. It never seeds. The 
first spikes are tall, often 6 feet, and if cut 
back, a great many shorter ones develop, to 
flower in fall. $1.00 each. 
Hybrid, Shelburne Strain. 
These are divisions 
from a_ selected 
group of plants that had 
flowered and been carefully rogued of all poor 
plants. There are many whites, and all shades 
are represented. The growth is close and com- 
pact, to perhaps 5 feet at most. 35 cts. each; 
10 for $3.00; 100 for $25.00. 
Hybrid, V. & R. Pacific Type. A very fine 
seedling strain, with extremely long spikes, 
and large individual florets, in a wide range of 
shades. 
Hybrid, Pink Sensation. The only pink of real 
brightness. Grows to three or four feet, with 
many stems, on the order of belladonna, $1.25 
each. 
DIANTHUS. Garden Pinks. Grown and loved 
for their bright and fragrant flowers. The 
culture is simple, and about the only advice, 
other than ‘well-drained soil,’ is—they like 
lime. In the garden, they are for massing in 
the front of the border, for bedding, for the 
rockery, and in almost all cases, for cutting. 
barbatus, Dwarf Mixed. These are Sweet Wil- 
liams, but oh, so different. The growth is 
usually less than 8 inches high, the plants 
compact little mounds each stem topped with 
its cluster of bright colored flowers. The 
blooms appear in June, and continue for a 
month or more. Colors run riot, and if you 
have an edging to make, or a display bed to 
fill, try these. 25 cts. each; but 10 or more at 
T5ectsmeacua 
barbatus, Holborn Glory. A fine mixed strain 
of the taller Sweet Williams. 
freyni. Compact grey foliaged sort, not over 
6 inches high, with many bright pink flowers 
in June. 
liboschitzianus. Much like the preceding, but 
a bit taller, and very profuse blooming. Fine 
for rockery. 
neglectus. We have a fine lot of this rare sort, 
noted for the size and bright salmon pink 
color of its blooms. The tiny foliage is but 
an inch or two high, dark green, and com- 
pact. Give it a poor stony soil, well drained, 
and a bit of stone chip on the soil, to keep it 
cooly 35° cts:,each: 
petraeus. Compact plant, like freyni, but with 
more glaucus foliage. Our form has bright 
pink flowers 
plumarius. Grass Pink. True plumarius can 
scarcely be had, and this is a mixture of many 
forms and types, with vari-colored blooms, 
but with the delightful fragrance. 
winteri, Meg Gardner. Fine plumarius type 
plants, with large flowers over a long period. 
Quite tall, erect habit. Blooms are white, 
with crimson eye. 
winteri, Mrs. Back. Similar, but less erect. 
DICENTRA. Including such old friends as 
Bleeding-Heart, and Squirrel-Corn, this is 
a well known group, all of simple culture in 
light fertile soil. It is well to be sure of a 
cool root run however, by north-side plant- 
ing, a mulch or light shade. Bleeding-Heart 
may well have a bit of extra water as long as 
it stays green, to keep it flowering. Many of 
these are best in the rockery or wild garden 
but we often plant the Plumy sort in exposed 
beds, where it blooms. all summer. And 
Bleeding-Heart is fine on the north side of a 
house, or under fruit trees, in the garden.
