EARLY FLOWERING PHLOX ROSALINDE 
VERBASCUM (Vur-bas’ kum) —Mullein 
Hardy plants forming a rosette of deep green leaves 
and sending up spikes of delicate flowers all season. A 
well drained sunny position seems to be their only re- 
quirement. 
Pink Domino—A soft rose pink upright, rugged and pic- 
turesque branching flower is this new introduction of 
1942. A charming plant recently received from England. 
Height 3 feet. 55c each; 3 for $1.50 
VINCA (Vin’-ka) —Periwinkle 
A very useful and ornamental evergreen vine quickly 
forming a dense ground cover of glossy foliage. Its 
adaptab‘lity to both sun and shade make it extremely 
useful. It flourishes under trees where grass will not 
grow and on steep banks it will make a tidy evergreen 
lawn that does not need to be mowed. It is used ex- 
tensively in cemetery plantings and should find a 
home on every wall or large rockery. 
*alpina—A fine new and still quite rare sort having lighter 
colored leaves and very double red flowers. Perfectly 
hardy anywhere. 35c each; 3 for 95c; doz. $3.50 
*minor—Rich deep green leaves and large phlox-like blue 
flowers. There is no better ground cover than Vinca 
minor. 25c each; 3 for 65c; doz. $2.00 
*minor alba—A pure white-flowered form that is extremely 
scarce. A lovely sort in great demand. 
25c each; 3 for 65c 
*minor aurea variegata—A perfectly hardy, golden yellow 
and green variegated leaved sort. A valuable plant lend- 
ing a touch of color to the winter garden. 
35c each; 3 for 95c: doz. $3.00 
*minor, Bowles Variety— A new European variety with 
broader foliage and heavier gloss. The flowers are larger 
and deeper blue. A profuse bloomer. 
% 25c each; 3 for 65c; doz. $2.25 
One each of the 5 Vincas $1.25 
VERONICA (Ver-on’-i-ka) —Speedwell 
A family whose value is greatly underrated. For rocker- 
ies, walls, banks, edging, etc., the dwarf members of the 
great clan are of outstanding importance. All are of the 
very easiest culture and bloom with such abandon as 
to rank them, in our opinion, among the very best of 
low growing plants. The taller sorts are useful in the 
border and their spikes of bloom work nicely in mixed 
bouquets. 
*amethystine “Royal Blue’—Beautiful clustered heads of 
rich gentian-blue flowers transforming the clump of 
deep green foliage into a mound of richest color in 
June and July. 12”. 35c each; 3 for 95c; doz. $3.50 
*amethystine “True Blue”’—12” spikes of intense blue on 
compact well formed plants. 35c each; 3 for 85c
