CHRYSANTHEMUM, Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek 
(Page 23) 
Beautifully formed flowers, fully double, composed of 
stiff petals able to withstand any and all bad weather. 
The petals are perfectly arranged, creating a formal 
effect, so nice one would think the flowers were grown 
in a greenhouse. 
The color is a blending of chrome-yellow, cadmium- 
yellow, and soft tinted old gold which under bright sun 
or artificial light shows a delicate undertone of rose. 
Most difficult to describe. However, we consider it the 
finest Chrysanthemum in cur collection, if not the fin- 
est in the country. A magnificent plant which portrays 
autumn in all its glory and riot of color better than any 
other flower we have. 
DOUBLE DAISY, Mount Shasta (Page 21) 
A lovely fully double, pure white Shasta Daisy, some- 
what tender, but worth all the care you give it. Mount 
Shasta is the best of the ‘’frilled’’ Shasta Daisies. 
DIANTHUS, Old Spice (Page 33) 
A rare new Clove Pink. | It is as hardy as an oak. Habit 
of growth is neat, cushion-like and compact. Stems 
are about 12 inches tall. It flowers prolifically all sum- 
mer and fall, 20 or more flowers on a single plant. 
Color of the beautifully moulded flowers is rich salmon- 
pink like that of the popular greenhouse Carnation, 
Laddie. ‘The spicy fragrance will delight you. 
HEMEROCALLIS, Leonian Hybrids (Page 40) 
By crossing numerous species and hybrids, and re- 
crossing and reselecting the plants produced in an al- 
most endless process into fourth and fifth generations, 
Dr. Leonian has created the most remarkable series now 
in existence. 
In height they vary from 3 to 4 feet. They stand on 
stalwart stems. Their flowers are of every shade, from 
deepest burnt-orange through flaming orange-red into 
amazing tints of pastel old rose and maroon shades, all 
with a clean and pleasant fragrance. 
What you now own in Day Lilies does not matter. What 
you will receive will be entirely different in color. Dr. 
Leonian’s Hybrids contain:no yellows but are a fine lot 
of seedlings of fascinating colors. And it is almost cer- 
tain you will find several amongst those you buy that 
your friends and neighbors will want to purchase divi- 
sions of at a substantial profit to you. 
PENTSTEMON, Firebird (Page 54) 
“ The flowers are Foxglove-like in shape and of large 
size, on stems about 18 to 24 inches tall, and are a 
most beautiful crimson overlaid with an orange sheen. 
It flowers profusely all summer and fall, is a cut flower 
par excellence, and a brilliantly showy garden plant. 
Garnet, introduced two years ago, has become a great 
favorite with gardeners because it is so easily grown 
and such a tireless bloomer. You'll like it as well as 
Firebird. 
PHLOX, Olympia (Page 57) 
Olympia Phlox is the forerunner of a new strain of Phlox. 
It is a rugged variety! Grows about 3 to 5 feet high, 
depending on soil conditions. Stems are thick and 
strong, one-half inch in diameter at base and foliage 
entirely without mildew, a dark rich green right down 
to the ground. The flower heads are big but open and 
airy, florets large and brilliantly colored. At opening 
the florets are white with large, irregular, deep, velvety, 
fiery-red centers. This fiery-red marking spreads over 
the greater part of the bloom as it ages. At a distance, 
the effect is a brilliant rose. Without doubt the best 
Phlox of its kind to date. It is a beauitful, bold and 
stately plant. A true American hybrid that will be grown 
in all American gardens before very long. 
RUDBECKIA, White Lustre (Page 61) 
A beautiful stately plant with large pure white star- 
like flowers, the cone of which has a delightful metallic 
lustre not unlike old brass and old copper mixed. The 
stems are stiff, 3 feet high, foliage clean and Ainsect 
free, never bothered by hot or dry weather and just 
about grows anywhere as long as the location is sunny.

STOKESIA, Blue Moon (Page 63) ; 
Big 5- to 6-inch blue disc-like flowers on good 24- 
inch long stems. Blue Moon is a fine border plant which 
requires little care, and is consequently a great favorite. 
NEW TRADESCANTIAS (Page 64) 
From the Department of Agriculture of Washington, 
D. C., a collection of beautiful dwarf growing Trades- 
cantias was sent us. Pauline, Cattleya-mauve. Iris 
Pritchard, pure white flowers faintly tinted with violet. 
James Stratton, rich pure deep blue’ flowers in abund- 
ance. Purple Dome, vividly brilliant purple flowers 
which sparkle with life in sunlight. James Weguelin, 
free-flowering with porcelain-blue flowers from June 
until September. All grow about 12 inches tall, and are 
well behaved, easily grown garden plants. 
TRITOMA, Springtime (Page 65) 
A fascinating new hardy Tritoma which flowers in late 
June and July. The upper part of the flower is rich 
coral-red, the lower half ivory-white. These sparkling 
and clear contrasting colors hold one’s attention. It is 
hardy and will winter most anywhere. 
VIOLA, Catherine Sharp (Page 66) 
The flowers are rich violet-blue with lots of character 
and style, grow on stiff stems long enough to permit 
their picking and use for cut flowers. Fine for winter 
flowering in cold frame. 
New Hedge Plant 
THORNLESS BERBERIS THUNBERGI (Pg. 134) 
Here is something many gardeners have been looking 
for. A Barberry without thorns. Innumerable instances 
can be mentioned where this shrub would fit in per- 
fectly because it does not prick you when coming in 
contact with it. In every other respect it is the same 
as the common Barberry, same fruit and brilliant foliage 
in autumn but No Thorns.
