DIANTHUS 
DIANTHUS.—Indispensable, showy plants for dry sunny places 
or walls, and with very few exceptions, great lime lovers. 
They will tolerate a poor stony soil, but care should be 
taken that the soil is not too loose or sandy. While they 
rather resent too much moisture around the crown and 
foliage, they do require it at the roots. A top-dressing of 
stone chips yearly is beneficial. Most of these Pinks have 
tufted or matted, gray green foliage and produce spicy- 
fragrant blooms from mid-Spring to early Summer. A good 
cut flower and exceptionally hardy garden plant. 
*Crimson—Handsome variety with large flowers of deep crim- 
son on foot-high stems. The double blossoms make attrac- 
tive bouquets. 50c and 75c. 
**Don Henderson—Colorful double flowers of light rosy-red 
on strong 15 inch stems. Introduced by Mr. Borsch. 75c 
and $1.00. 
*Little Joe—Without a doubt one of the finest all around 
rock garden and wall plants! The blue gray, 4 inch tufts 
provide a wonderful background. for the flaming crimson 
red, single flowers. The blooms, carried upright on 6 to 8 
inch stems, cover the plant in mid-Spring. If the dead flow- 
ers are removed, abundant blooming continues until frost. 
We highly recommend this variety. 75c and $1.00. 
*neglectus—The most beautiful of the alpine pinks in cultiva- 
tion. Neat little grassy tufts, studded with bright pink 
flowers, with a buff reverse, on 4 inch stems. A poor, stony 
soil. Mid and late Spring and sometimes again in the Fall. 
A gem but not difficult. 75c and $1.00. 
**Pink Lady—Somewhat more refined in texture and color than 
most double pinks. The compact mats produce countless, 
semi-double, pink blooms-on thin but sturdy stems. 12 in. 
Excellent for edgings. 50c and 75c. 
*“Roysii roseus—Pretty semi-double flowering variety with 
bright rosy-red blooms on slender stems over fine green 
foliage. 50c and 75c. 
DICENTRA 
DICENTRA—Rock garden and border plants with graceful, com- 
pound foliage of thin texture and dainty nodding flowers 
on slender stalks. Bleeding Hearts grow easily and bloom 
profusely. 
*eximia (Fringed Bleeding Heart)-—Makes a compact plant 
with finely cut leaves and showy racemes of rose pink flow- 
ers through a long period, early Spring to early Summer. 
Either full sun or light shade, its only requirement being a 
well-drained position. 10 to 15 in. 50c and 75c. 

DICENTRA OREGANA 

*oregana (glauca) One of the finest of the dwarf Dicentras. 
Silvery foliage, which is finely cut, and spikes of creamy- 
white flowers, which have pink or reddish tips. Mid- and 
late Spring and often again during the Fall months. Re- 
quires a well-drained position with a woodland soil and 
light shade. | ft. Pots, 75c; field, $1.00. 
*formosa Sweetheart—A rather new introduction which, we 
think, is one of our best plants for shaded gardens. The 
ample, translucent, pale green leaves look as cool as a 
woodland dell. The clusters of gracefully suspended blooms 
are purest white and follow one another in endless suc- 
cession from mid-Spring till frost. This rare variety was 
discovered in southern Oregon and has proved remark- 
ably hardy and vigorous. It increases moderately when 
given rich, organic soil with ample moisture and continu- 
ous light to heavy, high shade. It blends well with all wood- 
land plants, especially ferns, and is valuable for naturaliz- 
ing. Pots, $1.00; field, $1.50. 
DICTAMNUS albus (Gas Plant) —A very satisfactory plant, both 
because of its showy flowers and fragrant, rich and dura- 
ble foliage. Grows about 3 feet high and during the Sum- 
mer months produces its odd-shaped flowers of white. 
Should be planted in a permanent place, because it im- 
proves with age. Full sun in a heavy but well-drained soil 
generously enriched with old, rotted manure. Hardy, in- 
destructible specimen plants for the border blooming in 
late Spring and early Summer. 75c and $1.00. 
albus rubra—Spikes of rosy-purple blooms, the deeper veins 
creating a quaint effect. Displayed to best advantage with 
the white. 75c and $1.00. 
DORONICUM 
DORONICUM—One of the first border perennials to bloom in 
early Spring, making excellent cut flowers as well as a 
showy garden display. The Daisy-like flowers are colorful 
and bright and the heart-shaped, mostly basal leaves are 
substantial in color and texture. Culture is simple in an 
ordinary loam in sun or moderate shade. The foliage dis- 
appears when the plants become dormant in Summer. Lift 
and divide every third season. 
Pardalianches — Produces its profusion of long-stemmed, 
canary-yellow flowers after plantagineum has _ finished 
blooming, and if cut back as soon as petals fall it will give 
some bloom in the Fall. Does well in light shade. Hairy, 
grayish foliage. 4 ft. 50c and 75c. 
plantagineum—Large golden-yellow flowers on stems to 3 
feet or more. Smooth, green leaves. Early and good. 50c 
and Tac: 
DRYAS *Drummondii—An unusual species from northern North 
America which is rare in gardens. The prostrate mats of 
ashy-green leaves, white hairy beneath, produce 4 inch 
stems with nodding, closed, golden-yellow blooms at their 
tips. 75¢ and $1.00. 
*octopetala—Very flat evergreen carpets of small, Oak-like 
leaves with medium-sized white Anemone-like flowers on 
6 inch stems during Spring and Summer. It flowers most 
- freely in very limy soil, which is well-drained and porous. 
Likes a sunny but not dry position. Resents being disturbed. 
This and the other Mountain Dryads make excellent 
semi-evergreen groundcovers for small areas. 50c and 75c. 
*octopetala minor—A more compact variety which we con- 
sider even better than the type. The glossy, dark green 
mats are a lovely foil for the short-stemmed, white cups 
resembling the single Roses to which they are related. 
The flowers are produced over a long period from mid- 
Spring onward. 75c and $1.00. 
**Suendermannii—Supposedly a hybrid between Drummondii 
and octopetala but perhaps only a form of the latter. Very 
pale yellow in the bud, opening creamy-white. A wide- 
spreading carpeter of easy culture. Like other Dryas the 
seed heads are ornamental, miniature plumes. 50c and
