NEW LARGE FLOWERING HARDY PENTSTEMON 
Garnet—This is the first of a new strain of hardy, large- 
flowering Pentstemons. Heretofore, the only large- 
flowering Hybrid Pentstemons available were the 
Gloxinoides which are not hardy in the North. Pent- 
stemon “Garnet” is of spreading habit and produces a 
suecession of bloom from June until stopped by frost. 
The Gloxinea-like flowers are a rich garnet color, and 
are gracefully placed on stems 12 to 18 inches tall. The 
plants have from six to a dozen spikes continually 
throughout its flowering season. The flowers are ex- 
cellent for cutting and last a week or more in water. 
This new large-flowered variety has been growing in 
our nursery and several test gardens for three years. 
It has been left unprotected during three winters with- 
out showing any signs of frost damage. We consider it 
as hardy as the common Barbatus variety. Pentstemon 
Garnet is a handsome and worthwhile addition to any 
garden, as well as a first class cutflower.
