Oriental Iris bloom in July. 
FUNKIA, Variegata (Hosta, Plantain Lily, 
Day-Lily). Funkias are among the most useful 
of all perennials thriving in dry shady places 
where nothing else will grow. The leaves are 
showy green and white in the spring; in August 
there are spikes of soft lavender flowers. 
40c each; 3 for $1.00; Doz. $3.30. 
GAILLARDIA, Dazzler. Long stemmed daisy- 
like flowers of bright yellow with high ma- 
hogany red centers are produced all summer. 
One of the old reliables in a showier color. 
35c each; 3 for 90c; Doz. $3.00. 
GYPSOPHILA, Bristol Fairy. Large spread- 
ing plants of fine misty texture provide an 
interesting note to any perennial planting. 
Hundreds of small double flowers are produced 
in July and are excellent cut flower material. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25; Doz. $4.20. 
HEMEROCALLIS, Hyperion (Lemon Lily, 
Day Lily). The old orange day lily and lemon 
lilies that still brighten our roadsides in June 
and July must be quite proud of their new 
relatives that have been developed in recent 
years. Hyperion is one of the loveliest. It is 
pale canary-yellow, blooms in July and grows 
3% ft. high. 45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $3.90. 
HOLLYHOCK, Double Mixed. Plants from 
seed of rose, maroon, red, white, yellow and 
buff. Mixed colors only. 
35c each; 3 for 90c; Doz. $3.00. 

Bristol Fairy Gypsophila is lovely in bouquets. 
HEUCHERA, Rain of Fire. We think this is 
the finest Coral Bell developed thus far. The 
evergreen foliage is a rich green; the plant very 
sturdy, the flowers clear deep pink on stems a 
foot or more tall. 
40c each; 3 for $1.00; Doz. $3.30. 
ORIENTAL IRIS (I. kaempferi) 
Like very large orchids these iris, for some 
reason, are not so well known. They are a breath 
taking sight in late June and early July when so 
many perennials are going out of bloom, three or 
four blooms being produced on the 31% ft. stalks. 
They are greatly improved by abundant watering 
during June and July and like a slightly acid soil. 
Gold Bound. Very large double pure white with 
gold banded center. 
Kagari Bi. The very large double flowers are a 
striking Chinese red with lighter veins and a 
yellow spot at the base of each petal. 
Koko-No-Iro. Enormous double flowers of rich 
violet-purple with the center, smaller petals 
tipped with violet. 
Roseanna. Large double light mauve heavily 
veined with purple. Yellow center. 
Shirugu. Bright blue, very double and ruffled. 
One of the most aristocratic of these Oriental 
Iris. 
Price, Any of the Oriental Iris 45c each; 3 for 
$1.15; Doz. $3.90. 
LIATRIS, Scariosa, September Glory (Blaz- 
ing Star or Kansas Gay Feather). All the 
florets on the long, graceful spikes of this new 
gay feather are in bloom at the same time. The 
color is a rosy purple and the spikes are often 
6 ft. tall. Blooms in Sept. and has no peer as a 
cut flower with gladiolus. 
45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $3.90. 
LINUM, Perenne (Blue Flax). The loveliest 
pure blue to be found in any flower. The grace- 
ful 11% ft. plants are covered with small clear 
blue flowers over a long season. Likes a light 
warm soil. 35c each; 3 for 90c; Doz. $3.00. 
LUPINS, Russell Hybrids Mixed. There is 
nothing more beautiful than these tall spires 
of soft colors ranging from pinks to reds, buff 
to bronze, blue to purple with many bicolors. 
They grow four to five feet high and bloom 
in June. 40c each; 3 for $1.00; Doz. $3.30. 
LYTHRUM (Loosestrife) 
Tall spires of rosy lavender put the new lythrums 
at the top of the list of perennials that are a 
“must” for new and old perennial borders. They 
grow to 3 ft. in height, bloom from late June to 
September, do well in dry sunny spots or in 
partial shade and like moist soil growing, even, in 
poorly drained spots. 
Superbum, Prolific (Beacon Improved). The 
3 foot upright flower spikes are produced in 
June and July. Flowers are a warm carmine- 
rose. Very showy in the garden, and invaluable 
for long stemmed cut flowers. 
45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $3.90. 
Morden’s Pink. The clearest pink of all the 
new lythrums. Color is a clear, warm rose. 
Established plants produce 20 or more flower 
spikes 30 in. tall. Bears little resemblance to 
the magenta colored swamp wild flower from 
which it was bred. 
40c each; 3 for $1.00; Doz. $3.30. 
PACHISTIMA, Canbyi. The perfect little ever- 
green for a low hedge or border if pruned a 
little or for a ground cover where unsightly 
spots should be covered. Ideal as a border for 
rose beds. The small shiny green leaves do not 
winterburn as does boxwood and many other 
broad leaf evergreens. Grows in any soil. Stands 
20° below zero temperature. 
45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $3.90.

PHLOX SUBULATA 
(Ground Phlox) 
Blue Hill. Bushy 6 inch plants of a soft lilac 
blue bloom in April and May. Divide every 
three years to keep it compact. 
Setacea, Camla. This is not scraggly and creep- 
ing but upright and very bushy. The glistening 
pink flowers are produced in early spring and 
again in the fall. 
Emerald Cushion. The best true deep pink with 
no trace of magenta. Bright emerald green 
foliage. One of the newest phlox and has, by 
far, the richest color of any variety. 
Price. Any of the ground phlox: 40c each; 
3 for $1.00; Doz. $3.30. 
PYRETHRUM, Double Brilliant. A deep pink 
Painted Daisy with a crested or anemone cen- 
ter. Blooms in June and July providing lovely 
cut flowers as well as clumps of color that blend 
well with all June blooming perennials. 
40c each; 3 for $1.00; Doz. $3.30.
