DELPHINIUM 
VELVET BLUE CAVE 
There will always be a place in the garden for the 
gracious, carefree spikes of the long-popular Belladonna 
Delphinium. This J. & P. rich purple-blue variety is 
highly prized, both for its wide range of garden uses and 
for the indispensable “‘lift’’ which the delightfully ar- 
tistic flower-spikes give to bouquets. The plants have a 
fine aptitude ee almost any garden location and are often 
called upon for a blue note in the niches where taller 
plants can be used in a rock-garden. The dark green foli- 
age is strongly mildew-resistant. The plants have no 
difficulty in persisting from year to year. Its branching 
habit eerie a generous number of flower-spikes or 
sprays per plant. Grows 4 ft. tall or less, according to 
location. 55c¢ each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 
There réne Maung Ways to 
Use Ploribunda Roses 
aud Perennials “Jogether 
The very nature of a Modern Perennial is to be 
complementary to other flowers—especially to 
Floribunda Roses. In either mixed or border 
plantings there are countless possibilities for both 
to work together. As striking as Delphinium, 
Blue Cave and Betty Prior in the picture above is 
the white Delphinium, Debutante behind the dee 
red Donald Prior. Modern Perennials and Flori- 
bunda Roses create striking effects, together in 
shrubbery border plantings and in perennial bor- 
ders. Lovely color harmonies and accents can be 
achieved by planting clumps of Modern Perennials 
alongside or behind the Rose Garden.

Gypsophila, Rosy Veil 
GYPSOPHILA .- Baby’s Breath 
ROSY VEIL 
Rosy Veil Gypsophila, the lower-growing double pink 
Baby’s Breath, has won wide popularity with its endless 
possibilities in the modern garden. Very generous in bloom, 
the airy sprays form a heavy mat of delicate pink during June 
and July, and also some flowers again in fall. In addition to 
their value for garden use, the artistic sprays are invaluable 
for bouquets in the home, particularly to set off other and 
larger blooms, as well as in dainty arrangements by them- 
selves. Quite different from the commonly known kinds of 
perennial Baby’s Breath, the plants never have an overgrown 
appearance and keep to 18 in. tall or less. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 
COREOPSIS, Golden Shower 
Richly decorative from June until frost, a single plant of this new Coreopsis, 
Golden Shower will produce a continuous cascade of star-like golden flowers. 
The rich color remains so clear all through the season that it seems every day 
has its own generous supply of fresh, new blooms 114 in. across. Undaunted 
by the hot dry weather and almost defiant of fall frosts, the fine 24-in. plants 
have quite unexpected, very decorative bright green grassy foliage, finely cut, 
remarkably disease-resistant. One of the most satisfying of all garden novelties 
to really brighten dull spots. So far ahead of the Coreopsis with which you 
are familiar, popular and universally planted though it has been, this aede 
version will win its way everywhere. Its brightness of bloom and the decora- 
tive note contributed by the finely fashioned foliage never fail to capture at- 
tention and admiration. 
60c each; 3 for $1.60; 6 for $3.

pleasing crimson-red. Blooms abundantly from 
June through summer; perfect for border-edge,

55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 
AeucherAa-the 
Entrancing is the word for Heuchera. The 
smatt way these graceful coral-pink, bell- 
shaped flowers dress up the margins of a 
walk with their bright gay charm gives 
this neat-growing plant a foremost place for 
border and rock-garden use. No plants sur- 
pass them for sheer loveliness of design. 
QUEEN OF HEARTS 
A stunning newer Heucheta with scores of 
slender panicles of deep red bells, each much 
larger than the older varieties. This closeup color 
picture is about life size. Because it keeps so 
well and its decorative possibilities are so un- 
limited, Queen of Hearts is priceless for artistic 
floral arrangements. Blooming from June 
through July, it is always arresting in the border. 
Height 18 in.
