PENTSTEMON (The Beard Tongue) 
Few Perennials offer the graceful showing in a garden that Penste- 
mons do. The small tubular flowers like miniature foxgloves in 
shape, grow on long spikes and flower from June until August. Most 
effective. 
t*Firebird—Novelty 1942—This beauty came to us from Switzerland, 
where it is known as Pentstemon Shonoholzerii. The flowers are fox- 
glove-like, on stems about 18 to 24 inches tall, and are fiery crim- 
son overlaid with an orange sheen. The plant is easily grown, is 
free from insect pests, flowers freely, creates a brilliant effect in 
the flower garden, and is a cut flower par excellence. This plant is 
quite similar in growth to Pentstemon Garnet, flowering just as freely 
and is more hardy. Price: 60¢ each, $5.00 per dozen. 
t*Garnet—A new strain of hardy, large-flowering Pentstemon. ‘'Gar- 
net'’ is of spreading habit and produces a succession of bloom from 
June until frost. Gloxinea-like flowers of rich garnet color, grace- 
fully placed on stems 12 to 18 inches tall. The plants have from six 
to a dozen spikes continually in flower. Excellent for cutting and 
last a week or more in water. Price: 50¢ each, $4.50 per dozen, 
$30.00 per 100. 
PHYSOSTEGIA 
*Vivid—A new dwarf growing variety, that attains a height of 18-22 
inches, and is a marvelous improvement on any previous variety in- 
troduced. It is much deeper in color and has larger individual flow- 
ers. A splendid cut-flower. 
PLATYCODON (Bellflower) 
The Platycodons are closely allied to the Campanula anc form neat, 
branched bushes of upright habit, 2 to 2% feet high. Attractive blue 
flowers from July to October. 
tDouble Blue—A double form of the blue Platycodon. Very unusual, 
heavy flowers that are ideal for cut flower purposes and a type that 
attracts interest in all gardens. Price: 50¢ each, $5.00 per 
dozen, $35.00 per 100.

baby-blue flowers in April and May. Sun or shady places. Attains

garden, growing about 12 to 14 inches high. Flowers resemble the 
Mertensia to a great extent. Lovely pink blooms on beautiful silvery

ing qualities. Blooms in May and June, and if cut back after first 
bloom will give flowers throughout the Summer and early Fall. Grows
