THE JOSEPH F. MARTIN COMPANY, PAINESVILLE, OHIO 
ARMERIA 
Sea Pink or Thrift 
Attractive plants that will succeed in any soil. 
The beautiful evergreen 
tufts of bright green are always ornamental, from which innumerable 
flowers appear in dense heads on stiff wiry stems 9 to 18 inches in length. 
They flower more or less continuously from early spring until late fall. As a 
class they are very useful in the rockery and the taller varieties are very 
good for summer cut flowers or for forcing during the winter months. 
BEE’S RUBY. June flower beds offer noth- 
ing more striking. This Armeria grows to 
a height of 18 to 24 inches. On the tip of 
each stem are produced bright red flowers 
about 2 inches in diameter. In addition to 
garden value, the flowers are also very 
attractive in floral designs. We have a 
nice supply ready for shipment this 
spring. If you are looking for something 
unusual here is a plant worthy of your 
consideration.

MARTIN’S OWN HYBRIDS. For some time 
there has been an active demand for a 
mixture of bright colors in Armeria. 
While the strains available up to now have 
been composed mostly of the light shades, 
this new strain gives us the shades of 
bright pinks, coral red, light red, violet 
and purple which have been lacking. The 
numerous flowers are large and ball 
shaped, borne on strong, 16 inch upright 
stems, excellent for cutting, besides mak- 
ing a gay splash of color in the flower 
garden. We highly recommend this strain 
of Hybrids.
