CHELONE Lyoni Turtle Head

stems. Its queerly shaped flowers remind you of 
snapdragons. Blooms during summer and early fall.

spikes. Suitable for shady places and nice for 
cutting. 6 ft. 
Chrysanthemum 
HARDY 
In the fall when most of our flowers have succumbed 
to frost, the Hardy Chrysanthemums hold sway, with 
a wealth of rich, oriental coloring unaffected by ordi- 
nary freezing. As newer, better and hardier varieties 
appear, we are obliged to discard the older ones. You 
may be assured that the folowing varieties have qualli- 
ties of superiority justifying their trial and adoption 
by you. They should be planted in a well drained soil

KOREAN HYBRIDS 
The Hybrid Korean group was developed 
from the species Chrysanthemum coreanum, 
a hardy, rugged, daisylike form native to 
Korea and Siberia. The hybrids have not 
only acquired much of its vigor and sturdi- 
ness, but have given us many lovely color 
tints that are new to Chrysanthemums. They 
are. especially welcome to New England 
gardens because they are a hardier type 
and bloom earlier.

DELPHINIUMS Larkspur 
The Delphinium of today is a grand and 
stately plant. Its tall spires of bloom, ris- 
ing to a height of 5 or 6 feet, supply our 
gardens with a wealth of blue. They re- 
quire rich soil and should be well watered 
in dry weather. A mulch will help. If the 
spikes are cut as soon as they are through 
blooming, others will take their place. In 
hot weather they are sometimes attacked 
by a fungus at the crown. This may be 
checked by mixing equal parts of hy- 
[41] 
drated lime and flour of sulphur with 
water, and pouring it around the base of 
the plants.

ing variety, but with pure white flowers. 
DIANTHUS Pink 
D. barbatus (Sweet William). Popular old- 
time favorites that really should be con- 
sidered biennials. Often reseed themselves 
but should be planted every year. We 
offer separate or mixed colors. 
D. barbatus alpina.) A dwarf form of the 
preceding vraiety. Bushy, compact plant 
fine for edging the border. 
D., Delight. Colors from pink to deep pur- 
ple.

green foliage and a profusion of small

high. Salmon-pink flowers.

finely cut foliage and heart-shaped flow- 
ers. Free blooming over a long period. 
Grows equally well in semi-shade. 
D. spectabilis. One of our grandmothers’ fa- 
vorites. Long racemes of graceful pink, 
heart-shaped flowers about 214 feet tall. 
Blooms in May and June. An easy variety 
to force. 
DICTAMNUS() Gas Plant 
D. fraxinella alba. Forms bushes 3 feet in 
height and as broad. The white flowers 
give off a volatile, lemon-scented oil, 
which will sometimes ignite if a lighted 
match is held near the flower. 
D. fraxinella rubra. Rose-pink form of the 
preceding variety. Blooms in June and 
July and resents frequent transplanting. 
Grows best in a deep, rich soil.
