LEONIAN HYBRID HEMEROCALLIS (Page 45) 
By crossing numerous species and hybrids and recrossing 
and reselecting the plants produced in an almost end- 
less process into fourth and fifth generations, Dr. Leon- 
ian has produced the most remarkable series now in 
existence. In height they vary from 3 to 5 feet. They 
stand on stalwart stems. Their flowers are of every 
shade, from deepest burnt orange through flaming or- 
ange-red into amazing tints of pastel old rose and 
maroon shades, all with a clean and pleasant fragrance. 
PENTSTEMON, Firebird (Page 63) 
The flowers are Foxglove-like in shape and of large 
size, on stems about 18 to 24 inches tall, and are a 
most beautiful crimson overlaid with an orange sheen. 
It flowers profusely all summer and fall, is a cut flower 
par excellence, and a brilliantly showy garden plant. 
Garnet, introduced two years ago, has become a great 
favorite with gardeners because it is so easily grown 
and such a tireless bloomer. You’ll like it as well as 
Firebird. Grandalli is a low-growing gem for the rock 
garden. 
PHLOX, Charles Curtis (Page 60) 
The color is outstanding. Orange or sunset-red, or per- 
haps capsicum- or mandarin-red would probably come 
nearest to it. It is a fine strong grower about 212 to 
3 feet tall, has good clean foliage. The flower head 
is large and unusually clear and sparkling due to the 
fact that the flowers do not discolor in the sun or 
fade with age. 
PHLOX, Atlanta (Page 60) 
Is one of the new patented Wayside varieties. Makes 
huge flower heads of white with lavender shading and 
violet eye. A fine companion to the two Wayside fav- 
orites, Augusta and Columbia. For absolute white and 
excellent heads, nothing beats Mary Louise, introduced 
two years ago. It will be tops in white for many years 
to come. 
RUDBECKIA, White Lustre (Page 66) 
A beautiful stately plant with large pure white star- 
like flowers, the cone of which has a delightful metallic 
lustre not unlike old brass and old copper mixed. The 
stems are stiff, 3 feet high, foliage clean and insect 
free, never bothered by hot or dry weather and just 
about grows anywhere as long as the location is sunny. 
STOKESIA, Blue Moon (Page 69) 
Big 5- to 6-inch blue disc-like flowers on good 24- 
inch long stems. Blue Moon is a fine border plant which 
requires little care, and is consequently a great favorite. 
NEW TRADESCANTIAS (Page 70) 
From the Department of Agriculture of Washington, 
D. C., a collection of beautiful dwarf growing Trades- 
cantias was sent us. Pauline, Cattleya-mauve. Iris 
Pritchard, pure white flowers faintly tinted with violet. 
James Stratton, rich pure deep blue flowers in abund- 
ance. Purple Dome, vividly brilliant purple flowers 
which sparkle with life in sunlight. James Wedguelin, 
free-flowering with porcelain-blue flowers from June 
until September. All grow about 12 inches tall, and are 
well behaved, easily grown garden plants. 
TRITOMA, Coral Sea (Page 70) 
The color of its many flowers is a superbly fine shade 
of pastel coral-red, overlaid with deep rose, a color 
not observed in many cultivated flowers. It has a rich- 
ness and refinement of which you will be instantly con- 
scious. They are graceful and fine for cutting. 
TRITOMA, Maid of Orleans (Page 70) 
Visitors to the nursery tell us that this new Tritoma 
is one of the most delicate yet forceful flowers they 
have ever seen. The rigid spikes are about 36 to 40 
inches tall, and carry long spires of palest empire- 
yellow blooms which when a day old shade through 
palest straw-yellow to ivory-white. In effect we see 
a white flower of great warmth and beauty. A clump 
of these flanked by blue Delphinium or grown for con- 
trast with a red Phlox, will create a stunning picture in 
your garden throughout July and early August.

TRITOMA, Springtime (Page 70) 
A fascinating new hardy Tritoma which flowers in late 
June and July. The upper part of the flower is rich 
coral-red, the lower half ivory-white. These sparkling 
and clear contrasting colors hold one’s attention. It is 
hardy and will winter most anywhere. 
VERONICA, Blue Peter (Page 74) 
The flower spikes are of deepest navy blue on stiff 
stems about 15 to 18 inches tall. This variety will re- 
place Blue Spire as soon as it is better known. 
VIOLA, Catherine Sharp (Page 75) 
The flowers are rich violet-blue with lots of character 
and style, grow on stiff stems long enough to permit 
their picking and use for cut flowers. Fine for winter 
flowering in cold frame.

THORNLESS BERBERIS THUNBERGI 
(Page 158) 
Here is something many gardeners have been looking 
for. A Barberry without thorns, Innumerable instances 
can be mentioned where this shrub would fit in per- 
fectly because it does not prick you when coming in 
contact with it. In every other respect it is the same 
as the common Barberry, same fruit and brilliant foliage 
in autumn but No Thorns. 
New Shrubs 
BUDDLEIA, Flaming Violet (Page 161) 
The most brilliant of the Butterfly Bushes. The flowers 
are colored an intense imperial purple or doge-violet, 
magnificent under electric light, and make a big show 
in the garden. 
BUDDLEIA, Fascinating (Page 161) 
A soft orchid shaded variety, the best in this color, 
superb for cutting, and a beautiful garden plant. For- 
tune, though introduced in 1939, is still the best of 
the lilac-blue Buddleias.
