SCABIOSA, Blue Lady 
New and indeed exquisite! The first 
hardy and much-sought-for Per- 
ennial American Hybrid Scabiosa 
available in this country in a named 
plant, true in color, type and habit

tay petals of the beautiful 3-in.

petals—a lovely effect. Flowering

attistic rosette of

cut, continue in bloom all season, 
from June through Sept. 
lasting both in the garden and as

Sedum Brilliant 
SEDUM . Stonecrop 
BRILLIANT 
Let Sedum Brilliant be the magic plant to make 
“desert spots’’ in your garden bloom again. 
Nearly every garden has some barren place 
where this determined plant can be a sure-fire 
note of color with its gorgeous immense 
amaranth-red flower-heads. Especially en- 
dowed by nature with thick, succulent, at- 
tractive light green leaves which store up 
moisture, it is able to withstand even the 
hottest, driest summer weather. The extremely 
rugged, erect-growing plants attain a height 
of 18 in. and are very ornamental even before 
the blooming season arrives; indispensable as a 
late fall bloomer. While Sedum Brilliant 
rejoices in a hot dry spot, it does well in most 
any garden location, with ordinary soil and 
sun, or will even thrive in shade. Most effect- 
ive in clumps of three or more, planted 4 to 6 
in. apart. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 
STOKESIA 
LAVENDER QUEEN 
Mammoth form of old-fashioned Stokes 
Aster, 4 to 5in. across. The double flowers, 
silvery-blue suffused lilac-blue at center, 
are very effective both in the garden and 
in vases. 18 to 24 in. tall. Vigorous and 
bushy in growth, the excellent plants stand 
heat. Never without a profusion of beau- 
tiful blooms all summer and fall. Fine for 
cut-flower arrangements. Excellent for 
any border. Very hardy and very easy to 
grow. Truly an Aster of fine quality and 
delightful color that will give you the ut- 
most satisfaction.
