LARGE-FLOWERING HARDY PENTSTEMON 
Garnet — Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
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 through- 
out 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 three years. It has been left unprotected during 
three 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.
