of medium height with pure white short spur- 
red flowers and heavy foliage. It is winter 
hardy and is a good novelty for your garden. 
We must not overlook the sweet lavender 
loved by all for its dainty fragrance and so 
useful in making sweet-bags and sachets. The 
quaint calamint with its pretty rich purple 
flowers is a lovely plant for the edge of the 
border. A plant useful for bouquets and odd 
color in the garden is Artemisia Silver Beau- 
ty. It has silvery white foliage and flowers 
which when carefully used will give original- 
ity to your bouquets. Another odd plant 
found in only a few gardens is the butterfly 
weed (Asclepias Tuberosa). Its long lasting 
bright orange colored flowers appear in July 
and August and are followed by long pointed 
seed pods filled with seeds similar to those 
of the milkweed. Like lupines and poppies it 
should be moved very early in the spring. 
Spiraea fillipendula (Dropwort) with its low 
attractive fern-like foliage is a good subject for 
the hardy border. The delicate white flowers 
are borne on 18 to 24 inch stems. Like the 
painted daisies it should be placed near the 
front of the perennial border. 
Several new desirable large flowered Py- 
rethrums or painted daisies are Robinson's 
Giant Crimson; Robinson's Giant Hybrids and 
Rubrum grandiflorum. 
The trailing myrtle (Vinca, Bowles Variety) 
has dark green glossy leaves and bright blue 
flowers. It makes an excellent ground cover. 
We are looking forward to your visiting our 
nursery this spring and sincerely hope we 
will have the pleasure of helping you to make 
your gardens very enjoyable.
