feet long and are splendid for cutting. The florists like this flower, par- 
ticularly for cutting, because it combines beautifully with Dahlias, 
Gladioli, and the taller summer flowers. The foliage is silvery gray. The 
plant is wavy, giving a silvery smoky effect in the garden. Hardy any- 
where. Does well in all kinds of soil, but should be grown in full sun for 
best foliage effect.

HARDY LARGE-FLOWERED PENTSTEMON 
Garnet Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
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. Pentstemon 
Garnet is of spreading habit and produces a succession of bloom from 
June until stopped by frost. The Gloxinia-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 excellent 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 3 years. It has 
been left unprotected during 3 winters without showing any signs of 
frost damage. We consider it as hardy as the common Barbatus 
variety. Pentstemon Garnet is a handsome and worth-while addition 
to any garden, as well as a first class cut flower.
