CHRYSANTHEMUM 
CHRYSANTHEMUM coccineum (Pyrethrum or Painted Daisy) 
—Bright colored favorites of medium height for the bor- 
der and cutting. The 22 foot stems carry much-dissected 
foliage and large, colorful Daisies. The flowers come in 
many gay shades and vary from single forms to semi-double, 
double, and crested types. Sun and a warm, light loam with 
good drainage are all they require. 
Fiorence Shadley—The best, fully double, soft pink, we be- 
lieve. Large flowers of good form on strong stems. 75c and 
$1.00. 
Miami Queen—Rays of bright rose and a rich pink, crested 
center. A lovely combination. 75c and $1.00. 
Mixed Colors—Mostly singles in many: vivid shades and 
softer hues. 50c and 75c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM maximum (Shasta Daisy) —Another im- 
portant group of Chrysanthemums, generally recognized 
as producing some of the best garden effects in white. They 
range from huge single kinds through crested sorts to semi- 
double and fully double types. The plants are sturdy and 
long stemmed, most varieties growing from 2 to 3 feet 
high. Free-flowering from early Summer to Fall and much 
used for cutting, lasting well in water. Culture is simple 
in a rich moist but not wet soil in full sun. It is wise to 
divide and re-set the plants every other year to keep them 
vigorous. 
Beaute Nivelloise—One of the largest Shastas we have seen. 
The fringed, double-petalled flowers measure up to 7 
inches across. Long sturdy stems for cutting and very

_Chiffon—Medium-sized, semi-double flowers with narrow 
petals, frilled and flared. Charming and dainty in the gar- 
den or bouquet. 75c and $1.00. 
‘Marconi—One of the newer varieties and still very scarce. 
The petals are much cut and shredded and the blooms are 
immense, 4 to 5 inches across. The plants are bushy and 
somewhat taller than the others. Remove faded flowers to 
prolong blooming. $1.25 to $1.50. 
Mt. Shasta—Reported to be a sport of Esther Read, with pure 
white, high-crested, double flowers, which have a double 
row of overlapping guard petals. The flowers, 3 inches 
across, are borne on strong 24 to 30-inch stems. Very 
hardy. We have discontinued the lovely but weak, short- 
lived Esther Read in favor of Mt. Shasta. $1.00 and $1.25. 
CHRYSOGONUM *virginianum—A free-flowering creeper for 
the shaded rock garden or rock wall, producing its bright, 
golden-yellow Daisies in mid-Spring and off and on there- 
after to late Fall. 6 in. Tolerates ordinary soil and some 
drought. 50c and 75c. 
CIMICIFUGA—Very showy autumn border plants, especially 
for shaded, moist places. Quite unique in appearance, the 
tail-like racemes, sometimes branched or forked, are 
creamy white. The shining, much-divided foliage with 
spreading habit is very decorative. Hardy and easy. 
simplex—Striking and most valuable for its extremely late 
flowering, beginning in late Summer and attaining full 
perfection in mid-Fall. The 2 to 3 foot stems make excel- 
lent cut flowers, lasting in water very well. $1.00 and 
$1225: 
racemosa—A robust species attaining 6 or more feet. It 
blooms during the ‘’off’’ season in mid-Summer. 75c and 
$1.00.

Valley with larger flowers on longer stems and bigger 
foliage. A splendid groundcover for ordinary soil in shade 
and a scented favorite for bouquets. Fall and Winter de- 
livery only. Several pips, 75c and $1.00. 
CONVOLVULUS *Cantabrica—A trailing species with gray fo- 
liage and soft rose flowers. Very hardy and should be 
planted in a sunny, well-drained position. Attractive wall 
plant and not the least weedy. 6 in. 50c and 75c. 
COPTIS *groenlandica—From bogs and damp, mossy woods in 
the northeastern states, with long-stalked, shiny leaves, 
lighter in color than the next, and small white flowers. The 
three-lobed leaves make an attractive evergreen ground- 
cover. 6 in. Pots, 50c. 
*laciniata—Truly one of the most beautiful groundcovers for 
shaded, moist places. Its deep green, finely cut foliage 
seems polished. Small white flowers in early Spring. 
Spreads by underground runners and soon makes a solid 
evergreen mat. 6 in. All the Coptis grow best in a wood- 
land type soil with ample moisture and shade. Pots, 75c. 
*quinquefolia — A beautiful, dainty, species with five-lobed 
leaves on inch stems and between them, standing erect, 
single white stars in earliest Spring. A cut-leaved, ever- 
green gem. Pots, $1.00. 
COREOPSIS 
COREOPSIS *auriculata—Only recently recognized as a valu- 
able rock garden plant. Matted, creeping foliage over which 
float vivid, orange yellow, 2 inch Daisies on 8 inch stems 
from mid-Spring to late Autumn. Remove dead flowers to 
insure ‘‘perpetual’’ blooming. Will grow in light shade 
but best in light, moist soil in full sun. A really worth- 
while and easy plant. Pots, 50c; field, 75c. 
CORTADERIA Selloana (argentea) (Pampas Grass) —From 
the Argentine plains and appreciated for its tall, grass-like 
foliage and beautiful silvery plumes, often used in Winter 
bouquets. Well-drained soil in full sun; often planted near 
pools and streams. 6 to 10 ft. or more. Spring delivery 
only. $1.25 and $1.50. 
CUNILA *origanoides (mariana) — (Maryland Dittany ) —When 
Summer is gone and there is little bloom left, this neat 
bushlet starts flowering. The effect is a charming, lavender 
pink haze. Recommended for late bloom and warm, sunny 
spots. 75c and $1.00. 
CYPRIPEDIUM 
CYPRIPEDIUM—Hardy Orchids that thrive in moist soils, in 
either shade or half shade. The majority of them require 
an acid, leafmold soil which is moist. Their odd-shaped 
flowers with uncommon colors and markings are produced 
from mid-Spring to early Summer. All Ladyslippers nzed 
the very best soil you can prepare. A light loam decp!y dug 
and mixed with large quantities of organic matter (peat 
moss, leafmold, rotted wood, etc.) and some sand will give 
excellent results. The roots should not be trimmed and 
the plants should be set with their crowns barely under 
the soil and an inch or two of mulch of pure leafmold used 
as a cover. They require ample moisture while growing and 
less when dormant. Fall, Winter, and early Spring delivery 
only.
