16 BAY STATE NURSERIES, INCORPORATED 


Hardy Pink “Beatrix” 
Hardy Garden Pinks 
(Dianthus.) Small wonder that this floriferous 
family had so important a place in old-time 
gardens, their low growth and fragrance en- 
couraging their use in quantities for borders 
and edgings. One sub-group is that of the 
Sweet Williams (D. barbatus); another, the 
Maiden Pinks (D. deltoides); and_ still an- 
other group, the hardy carnation-like Hybrids 
in varied colors. 
Sweet WiLiiaMs. Pink, Newport Pink, Scar- 
let, White. 
Maipen Pinks. One of the best rock-garden 
plants, with mats of grassy foliage and small 
flowers on wiry 6-inch stems. Crimson, pink, 
or white. 
Beatrix. A hardy, light salmon-pink carnation 
of great beauty, with large, semi-double flowers. 
Furst BisMARcK. Cerise-red, a prodigious 
bloomer. 
Her Masesty. The pure white hybrid. 
Bleeding Heart 
(Dicentra spectabilis.) No old-fashioned gar- 
den is without this showy spring flower, with its 
drooping sprays of rosy heart-shaped blossoms 
in May and June. It is a bushy plant nearly 
two feet high, which can be planted singly or 
in groups with equal effectiveness. 
50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
The Foxgloves 
(Digitalis.) Another group of old-time flowers 
with distinctive, tall spikes of drooping, tubu- 
lar blossoms, mostly with spotted throats. We 
supply the plants in separate colors, purple, 
white, pink, yellow; also the Shirley Hybrids 
which comprise a mixture of rich shades and 
tints. 
Leopardbane 
(Doronicum.) Yellow, daisy-like flowers a foot 
high, with a charm that makes them coveted. 
They bloom in May and June. 
DoRONICUM CAUCASICUM. Caucasian Leopard- 
bane. 
D., Mme. Mason. Large, rich golden yellow 
flowers, somewhat taller than the parent type. 
40c each; $4.00 per doz. 
Geum, or Avens 
(Geum chiloense.) Do not overlook these little 
gems in planning your midsummer garden. 
Their flowers resemble semi-double roses, on 
stems 12 to 15 inches tall. Note these three 
named varieties, particularly.

season. 40c each; $4.00 per doz.

Mrs. BrAapsHAW. Large, brilliant scarlet flow- 
ers 
Gypsophila, or Baby’s Breath 
In the garden or for cutting, no other hardy 
flower gives the billowy, lace-like effect of the 
Gypsophila. These two varieties are of out- 
standing excellence. Their height is two to 
three feet, and they bloom all summer long. 
Bristot Fairy. The florets of this hybrid are 
double and of good substance, produced in 
abundance throughout a long season. It has 
come to be the universal choice of most gar- 
deners. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.

Breath, a worthy companion to “Bristol Fairy.”

rockery; their tufted foliage and clusters of 
tiny flowers on stiff, wiry stems make them 
seem wholly contented in any rocky nook. 
They bloom nearly all summer. Height, about 
15 inches. 
HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. Coral-pink; June to 
September. 40c each, $4.00 per doz.
