ers. Each 35c; 3 for

Our perennials are either dug 
fresh from the field the same day 
they are shipped or they come from 
potted plants in the greenhouse. We 
guarantee our plants will reach you 
in excellent condition, and then we 
cannot take further responsibility 
for them. You should give your 
plants very careful attention for the 
first two weeks after planting as 
your loss, if you have any, would 
usually come within this time. 
All perennials, unless otherwise 
priced, 35c each; 3 for $1.00; 12 
for $3.00. See color pages for other 
Perennials. 
TROLLIUS

lius. Blooms through June and July.

with orange stamens. Will grow in 
semi-shade. A new variety with 
larger and fuller flowers. 
ARTEMISIA 
Siluer King (Ghost Plant) 
A plant much used to give con- 
trast because of its striking almost 
white or silver foliage. Fine to use 
as a filler in bouquets, and also ex- 
cellent for winter bouquets.

VIOLA, Sweet Violets 
Odorata Semperflorens. Many people are constant- 
ly looking for a perennial that will do well in 
partial shade, and the Violas are just the plants 
needed for such a location. These small, extremely 
fragrant flowers are a beautiful shade of blue. The 
plants bloom from early spring to late autumn, 
and are absolutely hardy. The picture above 
shows double Violets. Odorata Semperflorens has 
single flowers but they are the same color, just as 
lovely and even more dainty. 
Rosina. Description same as Odorata except Rosina 
is old rose in color. You need both.
