FUNKIA - Hosta 
Hardy, herbaceous pererinials with handsome green or variegated foliage, 
and lily-like flowers borne on graceful spikes. The ovate, cordate, or 
lance-shaped ieaves grow in tufted form. Excellent plants for growing in 
sunny or partially shady borders on the margins of water or as edgings 
to beds and walks. 
Culture. Funkias require to be grown in a rich, well-manured soil. The 
variegated kinds are best grown in partial shade. The others will suc- 
ceed in sunny borders, by the waterside, or as specimens in groups. 
Subcordata should be grown in a warm, sheltered position. Plant in fall 
or early spring, six inches apart.

cover for Lily beds. The foliage provides protection to the bulbs and 
the flowers because of their lily-like appearance blend in well with the 
taller growing Lilies.

GAILLARDIA - Blanket Flower 
We consider the Gaillardia one of the most desirable hardy plants in 
cultivation. Everyone will have noticed how grandly Gaillardias have 
thriven through droughts; they seem hardly to need water. The gay blos- 
soms are obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to November, and 
the greater the drought and scarcity of other flowers the more the 
utility of the perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. 
Culture. A rich, but light soil is essential to grow Gaillardias success- 
fully. They cannot be depended upon to survive the winter on heavy, 
clay soils, but do splendidly on those of a light or medium character. 
Require a sunny position. Plant in fall or spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. 
Mr. Sherbrooke Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
The full, circular flowers are of a rich golden yellow, unstained by any 
other color. The large self-colored blooms supported by stout stems 
above the pale green foliage continue from early summer until late in 
the fall. A very good English variety. 
Ruby Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
Brilliant ruby-red, having no hint of yellow or brown in its make-up. 
Blooms all summer long as do few other perennials. Its vivid flowers 
make a continuous showing and furnish abundant material for cutting. 
Giant English Hybrids Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
In lovely shades of orange, yellow and red all summer and fall, flowers 
measuring 4 inches or more across. The finest mixture available. 
GERANIUM - Crane’s-bill 
Those offered are very interesting plants for growing on the margins of 
sunny borders or in the rock garden. 
Culture. Ordinary light or medium soil and a sunny position will suit 
these plants admirably. They should be grown in groups on the margins 
of borders or in the rockery. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. Once established do not disturb, then they will grow and flower 
with great freedom, and produce a pretty effect the entire summer. 
Sold out for this season 
A lovely deep blue variety about 20 inches high. For shady places in the 
rock garden or at the base of shrubs.
