and charming variety of the sanguineum 
type, with large, lovely soft pink flowers 
on slender stems, from June to Sept. 35c 
each. 
GEUM, Dwarf Evergreen Species — These 
are doubly valuable for the alpine gar- 
den and border on account of their hand- 
some evergreen foliage and large showy 
flowers, which are produced from early 
spring to fall. If given sufficient root 
moisture, with good drainage, the major- 
ity of them will thrive in full sun. They 
like a deep rich soil. 
Abbeys Orange—Orange yellow flowers of 
medium size on 12 inch stems in great 
profusion from May to July, and-again 
in Oct. Foliage also very attractive. 35c 
each. 
*aurantiacum—A very rare species, with 
dark green foliage and very large orange- 
yellow flowers on 6 inch stems. One of 
the very best of the dwarf species. 50c 
each. 
*Borisi—-One of the showiest of this showy 
genus. Neat tufts of evergreen foliage 
with many branching 8 to 12 inch stems, 
covered with large vivid orange-scalet 
flowers from May to Oct. 35c and 50c

form, when established in full flower the 
height does not exceed 4 inches. Con- 
gested tufts of olive green foliage and 
semi-double orange-yellows on slender

is almost unnoticeable. $1.50 each.

glossy green leaves and large bright 
golden flowers on 3 to 6 inch stems, from 
May to Oct. 50c each.

of the Water Avens, with nodding, cop- 
pery pink or old rose flowers, on 8 to 12 
inch stems. For a shady spot. 25c each. 
*rivale, Leonards Variety fl. pl—A double 
flowering form of the preceding. Very 
rare. 50c each. 
*“Waights Brilliant—In our opinion the 
outstanding dwarf evergreen Geum. A 
cross between Geum aurantiacum and 
borisi, with compact habit of aurantia- 
cum and foliage and flowers of borisi, 
perhaps a little brighter. Has bloomed 
here from early spring until late sum- 
mer, and again in late fall. The large 
vivid orange scarlet flowers come on 4 
to 6 inch stems, doing best in a light 
shade. $1.00 each. 
GEUM Border Geums—Every perennial bor- 
der should have a collection of these 
invaluable plants, attractive 12 months 
of the year. Borschs Golden West and 
West Hills are worthy of a place if they 
did not bloom, on account of their won- 
derful dark evergreen foliage.
