THE NEW LEADERS 
GARNET. This new one is distinguished by the unusually large size of the 
bells. The color is a crystal clear, deep pink. The plant is the most 
prolific producer that we know cf in the family, growing vigorously into a 
bushy plant of splendid character, topped by a large quantity of stately, 
tall spikes.

MARY ROSE. This one’s delicate, light pink flowers and finely graceful

LYCHNIS, VISCARIA FL. PL. 
An exceptional perennial, with such distinctiveness when in flower, 
it attracts attention from a great distance. The plants are made up 
with long narrow foliage, producing vermilion red flowers on stems 14 
inches in length. As a garden flower for show purposes it cannot 
be beat. The flowers can also be cut and used in vases. We very 
highly recommend it.

LYTHRUM, BONNY PINK

ground of any border, serving to mellow and make delicate the blend- 
ing of color tones. It grows to 3 feet, blooms from July to Septem- 
ber, and does well in shade or sun.

OENOTHERA, ILLUMINATION 
The plant is compact and neat, foliage is a glossy, pleasing green. It

NEW HYDRANGEA BLUE CHINA BOY 
Blue China Boy is new for 1943, a distinct advance. It is dis- 
tinguished by an immense head, with each floret measuring 2 to 3 
inches. Actually each stalk is a bouquet in itself when cut. It’s 
Pprimest point is it’s complete hardiness. Here, where cold north- 
ern lakes winters prevail, it thrives in the coldest section of land 
in the nursery. Color is an intense blue; chemical components of 
the soil, of course, are factors in color intensity of all blue 
Hydrangeas.
