WAKE ROBIN FARM, HOME, PENNSYLVANIA 
Clubmoss, Shining (Lycopodium lucidulum). Allied to ferns. Sometimes called 
‘“Staghorn Moss” by purists who point to its spores in its leaves, not on “‘clubs”, 
as with other Clubmosses. An excellent companion for wild flowers given pro- 
tection in sanctuaries. Can be planted in places off the beaten track, in odd 
corners of small yards. 25c each; $2.00 for 10. 
Columbine, Wild (Aquilegia canadensis). A quite hardy and brilliant rockery 
flower, the plant growing 10 to 20 inches high. Flowers yellow and bright red, 
about 1 inch long, in late spring and early summer. Named for the dove, 
(“Columba”), resembling both the claws of a bird and the graceful droop of 
a drinking dove. 25c each; $2.00 for 10. 
Cucumber-Root, Indian (Medeola virginiana). Named for the flavor and shape 
of its root, relished by Indians. Grows 1 to 3 feet high. Bears blossoms pro- 
tected by leaves during mid-summer, replaced in September by purple-black 
berries. Flourishes in rich damp soil of the woods, which can easily be dupli- 
cated in the garden. 25c each; $2.00 for 10. 
Dogtooth Violet; Trout Lily; Yellow Adder’s Tongue (Erythronium americanum). 
A small lily-like flower, light yellow in color. Mottled purple foliage. Grows 
4 to 9 inches in shady spots with ample moisture. Fertilized mainly by queen 
bumblebees and sometimes by small butterflies. Blooms April and May. Best 
replanted in masses, in stony ground. Roadside raiders of wild flora seem to 
go for this plant; it is being protected by various societies; we try to help 
its protection and increase by encouraging its replanting in small home back- 
yards. Low price, 25c each; $2.00 for 10. 
Dutchman’s Breeches; White Hearts (Dicentra cucullaria). One of the daintiest 
and most charming of the wild flowers of spring, blooming in April and May. 
White, about 8 inches high. Combines well with planting of Maidenhair Fern. 
Moist crevices and pockets. It whitens the area where planted with fragile, 
spring-like beauty. 25c each; $2.00 for 10. 
Ebony Spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron). Fern. One of the most adaptable. 
Thrives in poor, shallow soil and in stony shaly ground; in shade, semi-shade 
or open sunshine. Once planted, it catches easily and requires little attention. 
Graceful. Suited to a rockery. 25c each; $2.00 for 10. 
Ferns. We have a good variety of ferns in addition to those described in this 
Catalogue. Dainty and lacey for the most part, these are offered singly or in 
mixture. Ferns are much in demand for shady spots, as the north side of the 
house, where little else is likely to thrive so well. Many people like to have 
living ferns on hand the year around to use with arrangements of cut flowers. 
Practically any requirement can be filled and we invite requests for assortments 
or inquiries about them. 
Firepink; Catchfly (Silene virginica). A glowing, crimson beauty, flowering June 
to August. Drained soil in semi-shade. From 12 to 18 inches in height. 
30c each; $2.50 for 10.
