Low Growing Cushion Chrysanthemums 
Widely known as Azalea-Mums, many of the colors introduced since 
the first one, Pink Cushion, are not so early as that variety. Because they 
are low growing and early flowering we are including some varieties with 
larger flowers and better colors than are available in the true Cushion 
type.

$5.00.

of bloom in late September. 18 in.

from August until October. 18 in.

DORONICUM 
(Leopardbane) 
Mme. Mason. The newest large flowered and 
compact growing variety. One of the most 
colorful perennials in the spring garden. The 
large primrose-yellow daisy-like flowers bloom 
with tulips and combine effectively with them 
when cut. 50c each; 3 for $1.30; Doz. $4.50. 
FOXGLOVE 
(Digitalis) 
Princess, Pastel Mixture. Grown from our 
carefully selected seed, there are flowers of 
apricot, buff, heliotrope and pink shades in the 
mixture. Clumps of these 4 ft. spikes give 
character to a perennial planting.

GAILLARDIA 
(Blanket Flower)

GYPSOPHILA

bouquets. 65c each; 3 for $1.75; Doz. $6.00.

22 in. 
HEMEROCALLIS 
(Lemon Lily—Day Lily) 
Hyperion. 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 
31% ft. high. 65c each; 3 for $1.75; Doz. $6.00.

45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $4.00. 
IRIS 
Oriental or 1. 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 3% ft. stalks. 
They are greatly improved by abundant watering 
during June and July and like a slightly acid soil. 
Azure. Immense double flowers with waved 
petals of a soft mauve-blue. A darker halo 
surrounds the yellow blotch at the base of the 
petals. 
Gold Bound. Very large double pure white with 
gold banded center. 
Harbinger. A new and early variety. Enormous 
double flowers are deep purple with gold at the 
base of each petal. 
Red Emperor. Rich deep wine red. Very large; 
very early. 
Price, Any of the Oriental Iris 55c¢ each; 3 for 
$1.50; Doz. $5.00. 
Siberian Iris 
One of the most permanent of all perennials 
growing well in dry or moist soil. Particularly 
effective by streams or pools. The clumps of 
spear-like foliage give accent to perennial plant- 
ings all through the season. Blooms May and 
June. 
Kingfisher. A gorgeous shade of deep blue. Well 
established plants produce hundreds of flowers. 
Snow Queen. Pure white and larger than many 
varieties. Blooms for several weeks in early 
June. When not in bloom the foliage accents 
broader, lower growing plants. 
Price, Either of the Siberian Iris 50c each; 3 for 
$1.30; Doz. $4.50. 
67 
SANTA CLAUS (RED CUSHION). Large bushy plants literally 
covered with brilliant red double flowers from early September. 20 in. 
LUPINS

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. 
50c each; 3 for $1.30; Doz. $4.50.

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. 
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. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; Doz. $5.00. 
PACHISTIMA 
Canbyi. The perfect little evergreen 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 box- 
wood and many other broad leaf evergreens. 
Grows in any soil. Stands 20° below zero. 
65c each; 3 for $1.75; Doz. $6.00.
