HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS (Continued) 
BOLTONIA 
SNOWBANK. It is a completely radical de- 
parture from the Boltonia*that we have known 
for so many years. It grows tall and stands 
solidly without staking at all. The beautiful 
snow white flowers are abundantly produced 
on strong, erect stems through September and 
October. Planted in a mass or hedge, the effect 
is that of a clean bank of snow, sparkling in 
the sun.

crimson flowers on stems 12 to 14 inches in

are cut continuously, our plants will flower 
practically all summer, thus providing desir- 
able material for your summer requirements.

COREOPSIS 
A useful and attractive herbaceous perennial, 
both for border and cut flowers. They are of 
easy culture and produce their golden yellow 
flowers in profusion throughout the summer. 
NEW DOUBLE SUNBURST. Here is a Coreopsis 
which is different, producing striking golden 
yellow flowers which are actually double and 
of good size. They attract a great deal of at- 
tention and are also elegant cut flowers, noted 
for their keeping qualities. They grow to a 
height of 24 to 30 inches.

DAISY 
(Chrysanthemum Maximum) 
Shasta or Moonpenny 
DOUBLE WHITE SWAN. Pure white, double 
flowers on strong, wiry stems 24 to 30 inches 
in length, in bloom for Memorial Day. We were 
informed that this Daisy is also an excellent 
forcer, producing wonderful flowers under 
glass. These flowers always command a good 
price, whether in bloom outdoors for Memorial 
Day or under glass in the month of March. 
You will find a planting of these Daisies very 
profitable.

white high-crested, full double Shasta 
Daisy, with a double row of overlapping 
guard’ petals four inches in diameter.

ist, blooming continuously from late 
spring until frost.

DAISY (Continued) 
DAISY ADMIRAL BYRD. This plant produces 
five to six inch pure white flowers, bearing 
two or three rows of deeply lanceolated petals, 
with a rich golden yellow center. The flowers 
are distinctly frilled. Stems are thirty to thirty- 
six inches long, very straight and stiff. This 
is an excellent cut flower, lasting two or three 
weeks after cutting. Its hardiness is unques- 
tionable, as it withstood temperatures as low 
as twenty below zero without any protection.

214 INCH DELPHINIUM 
An A.B.C. Specialty! 
Received early in the spring, generally before 
May 1, the outside planting will produce 
through the flowering period a crop that is 
scarcely, if at all, distinguishable from a very 
successful planting of the field grown. Beyond 
this, if the plant is lifted after it has had the 
beneficial rest of four weeks of frost cure, it 
is the finest element for benching. 
We heartily recommend a substantial plant- 
ing of Delphiniums from pots in the spring of 
1945 for the best possible results expressed in 
terms of the double utility that the pot plants 
have, and the high price the cut bunches com- 
mand at all times.

DIANTHUS 
MEG. GARDNER. Each year that this is with 
us, we become more and more convinced that 
Meg. Gardner is tops in the Sweet Pinks group 
and that it’s going to take a long time for any 
variety to surpass it. It’s a plant with a person- 
ality, difficult to describe but immediately cap- 
tivating. A medium dwarf variety, produces 
distinct white flowers with a vivid crimson cen- 
ter, each one a delicate miniature that might 
well have sprung from an artist's brush. These 
are neatly arranged over compact plants, fo- 
liage steel gray.
