HARDY PERENNIALS (continued) 
Price: 30c each, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100, except where noted 
TEUCRIUM 
*Chamaedrys—Small shrub-like growth of shiny dark green 
leaves resembling dwarf Boxwood. Makes an excellent edg- 
ing for a garden or border because it can be clipped to any 
height, up to 12 inches. For nice compact planting set out 
about 6 inches apart. Does best in full sun. Price: 50c 
each, $4.00 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. 
THALICTRUM (Meadow Rue) 
FtAdiantifolium—tThe foliage resembles the maiden hair 
fern and the feathery white flowers are airy and graceful in 
the garden or in bouquets. Blooms June and July. Height, 
2 feet. Prefers a rich loam and rather moist place. 
TRITOMA (Red Hot Poker) 
FCoral Sea (Patent pending)—This 1943 Introduction is a 
superbly fine shade of pastel coral-red, overlaid with deep 
rose. A color not observed in many cultivated flowers. It has 
a richness and refinement of which you will be instantly 
conscious. The plants are not extra large but form graceful 
clumps which, in June and July, produce from 15 to 30 
medium sized flower spikes which are of uniform height 
about 30 inches. They are graceful and particularly fine for 
cutting. Offered without any hesitation as a winter-hardy 
Tritoma. However, in severe climates it is well to give a little 
winter protection as one would any other plant. Price: 
75c each, $6.00 per dozen. 
+Primrose Beauty—Novelty 1942. The beautiful clear prim- 
rose yellow spikes produced by this plant are unique for 
their grace as well as their delightful color. They are fault- 
lessly shaped and slightly arched, creating a charming effect. 
Primrose Beauty blooms in early summer, on spikes about 
40 inches tall, lending a charm to the flower border few 
other plants can. Price: 65c¢ each, $5.00 per dozen. 
+Springtime (Patent No. 318)—Novelty 1942. A fascinating 
hardy Tritoma which flowers in late June and early July. 
The upper part of the flower is a rich coral red, the lower 
half ivory yellow. These sparkling and clear contrasting 
colors hold one’s attention in a pleasing manner. Springtime 
grows in all kinds of soil and has weathered these winter 
conditions without any protection. We recommend this nov- 
elty. It combines beautifully in the garden with pale blue 
Delphinium or pure white Regale Lilies which flower at the 
same time. A well established plant will produce as many 
as 10 to 15 flower spikes about 3 feet tall. They are very 
graceful and superb for cutting. Price: 65¢ each, $5.50 
per dozen. 
tVanilla—Novelty 1943. A dainty, exceedingly free flowering 
small Tritoma. The open flowers are clear pale yellow on 
stems about 24 inches tall. Foliage is grass-like and a fine base 
for the great number of flowers produced. It is not at all un- 
usual to count 25 or more flower spikes on a single plant. 
At its best throughout June. Vanilla is a fine variety for 
garden decoration as well as for cutting. Last, but not least, 
it is perfectly hardy and in most extreme cold sections will 
winter over with very little protection. Price: 65c¢ each, 
$5.00 per dozen. 
tWhite Fairy—Novelty 1943—A very dainty, free flowering 
small Tritoma. The pure white blossoms are open and grace- 
ful on thin stems about 24 inches tall. Foliage is grass-like 
and ornamental throughout the summer. A good companion 
to the variety Vanilla. In full bloom in June with 15 or 20 
dainty spikes on each plant. Lovely “cool” flower in the 
garden and exceptionally good for cutting. It is perfectly 
hardy but advise a slight protection where temperatures go 
far below zero. Price: 60c each, $5.00 per dozen. 
TUNICA SAXIFRAGA 
*F1. Pl. rosea—A dancing miniature of the beloved Baby's 
Breath in double form. Reigning gavly through the heat of 
the Summer. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
TBlue Peter—Novelty 1943—A recent arrival and without 
doubt the best of the early summer flowering Veronicas. The 
flower spikes are of deepest navy blue. Stiff stems about 18 
Page Forty-four 
to 24 inches tall. A heavy bloomer and of easy culture. A 
“must” for your garden. (The name “Blue Peter” is given the 
blue flag displayed by a ship ready to leave port.) Price: 
60c each, $5.00 per dozen. 
+Blue Spire—A hybrid of Veronica Longifolia Subsessilis 
and Veronica Spicata which has retained the glorious dark 
color of Veronica Subsessilis. Grows about two feet tall. 
Bushy habit, and a real addition to the Summer blues, which 
at this particular season are rather scarce. Price: 50¢ per 
plant, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100.
