GEUM, Continued, 
*Borisi—One of the showiest of this showy 
genus. Neat tufts of evergreen foliage 
with many branching 8 to 12 inch stems, 
covered with large vivid orange-scalet 
flowers from May to Oct. 35c and 50c 
each, 
*Gladys Perry—A very beautiful pygmy 
form, when established in full flower the 
height does not exceed 4 inches. Con- 
gested tufts of olive green foliage and 
semi-double orange-yellows on slender 
stems in such profusion that the foliage 
is almost unnoticeable. $1.50 each. 
*montanum—A compact growing species 
for a shady spot. Prettily puckered, 
glossy green leaves and large bright 
golden flowers on 3 to 6 inch stems, from 
May to Oct. 50c each. 
*rivale, Leonards Variety—A lovely form 
of the Water Avens, with nodding, cop- 
pery pink or old rose flowers, on 8 to 12 
inch stems. For a shady spot. 35c each. 
*rivale, Leonards Variety fl. pl.—A double 
flowering form of the preceding. Very 
rare. 50c each. 
*Waights Brilliant—In our opinion the 
outstanding dwarf evergreen Geum. A 
cross between Geum aurantiacum and 
borisi, with compact habit of aurantia- 
cum and foliage and flowers of borisi, 
perhaps a little brighter. Has bloomed 
here from early spring until late sum- 
mer, and again in late fall. The large 
vivid orange scarlet flowers come on 4 
to 6 inch stems, doing best in a light 
shade. $1.00 each. 
~GEUM Border Geums—Every perennial bor- 
der should have a collection of these 
invaluable plants, attractive 12 months 
of the year. Borschs Golden West and 
West Hills are worthy of a place if they 
did not bloom, on account of their won- 
derful dark evergreen foliage. 
Borschs Golden West—Our introduction, a 
cross between Lady Stratheden and bor- 
isi. Foliage resembles that of Lady 
Stratheden, but is evergreen. Flowers 
also resemble those of Lady Stratheden, 
but of a deeper golden yellow on 24 to 
30 inch stems. Have a long flowering 
period, early May until late summer. 60c 
each. “ 
Borschs West Hills—Another hybrid of the 
same parents, but with flowers of rich 
orange. An excellent companion to Gold- 
en West. 75c each.
