HARDY PERENNIALS (Continued) 
Price: 35c per plant, $3.50 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. Except where noted. 

Viola—Apricot Queen 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
+Blue Spire—A hybrid of Veronica Longifolia Subsessilis and Veron- 
ica 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: 50c per plant, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 
per 100. 
+Longifolia Subsessilis—This is one of the handsomest of the 
Veronica type. It has long spikes of a beautiful deep blue and is 
frequently used as a cut-flower. It attains a height of about 2 
feet and flowers from July to September. Price: 50c each, $5.00 
per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
+Spicata Alba—Long spikes of snowy white flowers blooming all 
Summer. An excellent variety for the middle of the hardy bor- 
der. For best results the Veronicas should be lifted and divided 
every three years. Height, 2 ft. 
VIOLA 
*t+tApricot Queen—A fascinating shade of apricot that compels the 
immediate attention and admiration of all who see it. The plant 
has a neat, compact habit of growth and blooms freely from 
Spring to October. The requirements for success in growing this 
charming Viola are to locate the plants in full sun and to shear 
them close to the ground twice during the season. 
*Jersey Gem—The peerless Viola that blooms from April until 
snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a delicious fra- 
grance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any good garden 
soil, but must have full sun for best results. 
+Maggie Mott—A very lovely shade of sky-blue Viola. Extremely 
large flowers and a nice compact growth. This is the variety seen 
in such great profusion in all English gardens. May not be hardy 
in all locations and a slight covering during the winter months 
is suggested. Price: 50c per plant, $5.00 per dozen. 
VIOLETS 
*The King’s Ermine—A beautiful white hardy garden Violet com- 
ing into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom very freely 
for many weeks. Throat a rich purple. 
*Rosina—A small soft ripe pink Violet blooming freely in the Spring 
and again in the Autumn. Delightfully fragrant. While it will 
grow well in the full sun, it does best in partial shade. 
*VINCA MINOR (Common Periwinkle ) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick trailing 
growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early Spring and 
occasionally through the Summer.

*Bowles Variety—A great improvement over any form of Vincas 
grown up to this time. The foliage is broader and of brilliant 
green. Plant is a strong grower and a very profuse bloomer. 
Flowers larger, of a deep blue shade. 
YUCCA (Adam’s Needle) 
{Filamentosa—Ornamental foliage and flowering plants. Makes a 
splendid foil for the delightfully fragrant spikes of creamy white 
flowers produced during June and July. 5 to 6 feet tall. 































CLEMATIS 
(A GARDEN TREASURE) 
The Clematis are becoming more popular each year since gar- 
deners are beginning to understand their culture a little better. 
They are easily grown but do best in rich, well-drained loam to 
which has been added sand or peat moss. The collar of the 
plant should be set at least three inches below the surface of the 
soil and firm the soil well around the roots. Plants give much 
better results if they are watered frequently in very dry weather. 
Partial shade and a little lime applied to the soil occasionally is 
appreciated. Ideal for covering old stumps or stone walls. A 
selected list would be as follows (these are all two-year-old 
plants on their own roots).
