ARMERIA 
SEA PINK OR THRIFT 
Attractive plants that will succeed 
in any soil. The beautiful evergreen 
tufts of bright green are always 
ornamental. The prolific produc- 
tion of innumerable flowers appears 
in dense heads on stiff wiry stems 
9 to 18 inches in length. They 
flower more or less continuously 
from early spring until late fall. As 
a class they are very useful in the 
rockery and the taller varieties are 
very good for summer cut flowers or 
for forcing during the winter 
months. 
BEE’S RUBY. June flower beds offer nothing 
more striking. This Armeria grows to a height 
of 18 to 24 inches. On the tip of each stem are 
produced bright red flowers about 2 inches in 
diameter. In addition to garden value, the flow- 
ers are also very attractive in floral designs. 
We have a nice supply ready for shipment this 
spring. If you are looking for something unusual 
here is a plant worthy of your consideration.

CEPHALOTES RUBRA. In the assortment of 
dwarf and semi-dwarf varieties this by far is the 
most outstanding. The flowers are of good size 
and the color is a striking red. For border there 
is nothing that will make such a bright showing. 
At road side sale grounds, these plants when in 
flower, will sell themselves.

MARTIN‘’S LARGE FLOWERING HYBRIDS. There 
is an active demand for a mixture of bright 
colors in Armeria. While the strains available up 
to now have been composed mostly of the light 
shades, this new strain gives us the shades of 
bright pinks, coral red, light red, violet and purple 
which have been lacking. The numerous flowers 
are large and ball shaped, borne on strong, 16 
inch upright stems, excellent for cutting, besides 
making a gay splash of color in the flower gar- 
den. We highly recommend this strain of Hybrids.

Premium Plant Policy 
OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE 
THIS DEFINITE ASSURANCE 
All plants produced and made ready for sale by the Joseph F. 
Martin Company, whether field grown or out of pots, are without a 
single exception, finely developed, heavy material, that will give 
maximum results in the first season after planting. 
The fact that many items are offered both out of pots and field 
grown, and some only out of pots or field grown, may be confusing. 
There is good reason in every instance, and this is borne out by many 
years of experience in the preparation of perennial plants for our 
critical customers. 
In ALL CASES the best plant for shipping and transplanting 
is the one that is listed. Where either pot plants or field grown will 
give good success, both are listed. 
This is part of the carefully 
weighed reasoning behind each item in this book.
