Tritoma, 
Robin 
Hood 
GIANT HARDY TRITOMA, 
Robin Hood 
Like a zooming rocket this glowing Tritoma 
*“‘does everything in a big way.’ ‘‘Flares 
up’’ in late June with a burst of ten to twelve 
dazzling flower-spikes—and continues its 
floral pyrotechnics until late September. 
Its dramatic color accent has great appeal, 
suggesting effective treatment of focal points 
in the garden and a unique, exotic note in 
flower arrangements. Each 214-ft. stalk 
carries a sparkling spike 8 to 10 in. long, so 
dramatic in its beauty that it creates a com- 
pelling center of interest wherever it grows. 
Will do well in sun or partial shade. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.00 
Stokesia, Lavender Queen 


CATANANCHE, Giant Cupid’s Dart 
Coerulea Major 
Bright, deep violet-blue, 2-in. flowers like double Bache- 
lor’s Button; on silvery, slender branching stems; silvery 
buds and seed-hips. Live and lovely for front of border. 
Thrives in difficult and dry positions. Height, 20 in.; 
excellent for cutting. Blooms profusely from July till 
frost, adding color and interest to the garden. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 

GYPSOPHILA, Baby's Breath 
ROSY VEIL 
This 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 flower again in fall. The artistic sprays ate in- 
valuable for bouquets in the home, particularly to set off 
other and larger blooms as well as in dainty arrangements 
by themselves. Different from the commonly known 
perennial Baby’s Breath, the plants never become over- 
grown and keep to 18 in. tall or less. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 
«~<<« STOKESIA, Lavender Queen 
Mammoth form of old-fashioned Stokes Aster, 4 to 5 in. 
across. The double flowers, silvery blue suffused lilac- 
blue at center, are very effective. 18 to 24 in. tall. Vigor- 
ous and bushy in growth. Never without a profusion of 
beautiful blooms all summer and fall. Fine for cut-flower 
arrangements. Excellent for any border. Very hardy and 
very easy to grow. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75

HELIOPSIS, Summer Gold 
Incomparabilis. The giant daisy-like semi- 
double 4-in. flowers have petals of mellow gold 
with slightly deeper centers. Prolific in growth, 
Summer Gold does not run away, but the tops of 
a clump of three will cover 4 to 5 feet. Continu- 
Ous with its wealth of bloom from June till frost. 
One of the finest of border and background peren- 
nials; magnificent jn bold, massed plantings. As 
the flowers finish, those which are not used for 
bouquets should be cut back, then new buds will 
form to continue the bloom. Height 3 ft. 
50c each; 3 for $1.35; 6 for $2.50 

ASTILBE, Fanal 
Exquisite, feathery sprays of lively red. Easy to 
grow, hardy; likes lene of moisture and good, 
rich soil. Will repay a thousandfold with abund- 
ance of bloom all through May and June. A 
unique color ... rich, deep red; dark green, pro- 
lific foliage. 15-in. flower-spikes tower well 
above 10 in. foliage. Fine for arrangements, com- 
bining with most any other flower. Fills long-felt 
want for red border plant and one that likes 
moisture. Happy in either semi-shade or sun. 
May be potted for winter bloom indoors. 
85c each; 3 for $2.25; 6 for $4.25
