LUPINES (Lupinus)

important.

A BRILLIANT LOOSESTRIFE

established pot plants only for spring planting.

THE COOL GRAY NEPETAS

flowers from May until late fall if the early 
summer flowers are clipped off as they 
mature.

in its habit of growth than Mussini—other- 
wise similar. Valuable for strong group 
effects. 
SOUVENIR D’ANDRE CHAUDRON. Large 
mauve-blue flowers on long, wiry stems,

THE OUTSTANDING 
GROUND-COVER (Spurge) 
PACH YSANDRA TERMINALIS. The best 
ground-cover for massing in shaded areas 
where grass will not grow. If planted 6 to 8 
inches apart, the bright glossy green foliage 
will soon form perfect mats, particularly if 
the soil is well enriched before planting and 
a winter mulch of well-decayed manure one 
inch deep is applied each season. We offer 
plants from 3-inch pots, two or more plants 
to the pot. May be pulled apart for greater 
spread and economy. Pot plants, $2.50 for 
12, $15.00 per 100. Field plants, $2.50 for 
12, $12.00 per 100. 
PEONIES FOR PERMANENT 
BEAUTY 
Once established, they increase each year in 
their profusion of big blossoms. Few plants 
are as permanent or require so little attention, 
but first prepare the soil well. Provide a good 
soil, deeply dug and enriched with well- 
decayed manure to which a sprinkling of bone 
meal and loam should be added. The fertilizer 
should not come in direct contact with the 
roots, and the plants should be set just deep 
enough to cover the crowns. While the large 
two-year plants should bloom the first season, 
it requires one more year before the flowers 
appear in their true form. Fall planting is 
usually recommended. Early spring planting 
is safe, you gain a season.
