Blue Spire, Veronica—All summer this fine 
variety produces its plumy spikes of rich blue 
(much deeper blue than pictured). Perfectly

as wide. Stands lots of hot, dry weather. One 
of our top-notch perennials. Each 30c, 4 for

the plant is perfectly hardy. Stands the heat 
and dry weather splendidly and blooms so pro- 
fusely that you can cut flowers almost every day 
from mid-summer until frost. The flowers are 
3 inches across and are very good as a cut-flower. 
Succeeds everywhere with little attention and in 
any soil. Each 40c, 3 for $1.00.

— CLARA CURTIS 
We have yet to see a single person who has seen this wonderful new Chrysan- 
themum in bloom who did not want it. It commences blooming last of August 
and for weeks is a solid mass of beauty, hundreds of blooms on a single plant. The 
daisy-like flowers are 2 inches across, a lovely salmon-pink. It makes a spreading 
bush, at the end of the first year being 18 to 24 inches across and same height. 
The flowers come on fine stems, perfect for cutting and last for weeks when cut. 
It is perfectly hardy and one of the easiest to grow of all perennials. Succeeds 
everywhere. We sincerely tell you this is without question one of the finest hardy 
plants ever grown. Each 50c, 3 for $1.25. 
Improved Ruby, Gaillardia—One of the best 
garden plants and also fine for cutting. The 
flowers 2 to 3 inches across, are a brilliant ruby- 
red, on stems 18 to 24 inches tall. Makes a neat 
upright plant with fine grey-green foliage, 
attractive in itself. This is an improved strain 
which grows more vigorously, blooms more 
freely, blooming the entire summer regardless of 
how hot the weather or how dry. Prefers a sunny 
position. Hardy and easy to grow. Each 40c, 
3 for $1.00. 
Improved Sun God, Gaillardia— Pictured on 
page 59. This should be in every garden because 
it blooms from July until frost, right through the 
hottest, driest weather. The flowers are pure 
golden yellow, 214 to 3 inches across and come 
singly on stems 24 inches tall. A wonderful plant 
for the garden and also very fine for cutting. 
They like a sunny spot. It is hardy but in cold 
sections, we advise a light, loose winter mulch 
because this plant is too fine to take any chances 
losing it during an extreme winter. Each 40c, 
3 for $1.00.
