LEONTOPODIUM alpinum. Edelweiss 
LEONTOPODIUM 
Alpinum. Edelweiss; Bridal Flower of the 
Alps. A choice, hardy rock plant. The leaves 
are silvery gray and lie almost flat on the 
ground. From the center grows a flower stem 
which has three or four star-like, white woolly 
flowers. Prefers light soil and will grow m rock 
crevices. Swiss folk have been known to risk 
their lives and climb precipitous Alpine pas- 
sages in order to gather but one or two of their 
treasured Edelweiss, about which so much 
Swiss sentiment is woven. $1.00 each; 3 for 
$2.75; 10 for $7.50. 
THALICTRUM « Meadow-rue 
Dipterocarpum. Bears countless numbers of 
lilac-mauve flowers with bright yellow anthers 
on immense branching panicles. 4ft.Aug., Sept.

dainty white flowers having yellow anthers.

Nov. 3 for $1.75. 
PYRETHRUM

variety in the great Pyrethrum family. May-— 
June. 2 ft. 3 for $1.50; 10 for $4.00. 
CIMICIFUGA 
Racemosa simplex, White Pearl. A great 
improvement on the older Cimicifuga. The 
buds appear as little white pearls opening 
into fluffy white balls. The long terminal 
racemes reach a height of about 3 feet. It is one 
of the very few herbaceous plants to continue 
to bloom a month or so after the first hard 
frosts. Must be planted in a shady moist 
location where it will attain its full beauty 
and remain permanent. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
(Papaver orientale) 
For Fall Planting 
All our field-grown Poppies are offered for fall- 
planting only. A limited number of varieties are 
potted for early spring planting and are available for 
customers calling at the Nursery at that time. 
Potted Poppies are not for shipping generally. 
The complete Poppy list will appear in our new 
Fall Supplement to be issued this summer. We have 
listed below the eight new varieties that represent 
the cream of latest creations from Holland. Their 
colors, compared to the twenty or more older kinds 
we shall also offer, are almost unbelievable so that 
short or long descriptions are inadequate to portray 
their unusual characteristics. 
New Poppies: 75 cts. each; 3 for $2.00 
Fireball. Large double orange-red flowers. 
Grand Duke. Dark red. 
Mrs. G. Pott. Fine brilliant red.

DIANTHUS, Pink Princess (NEW) 

It is seldom one discovers a chance seedling that turns out to be a worthy new garden gem. 
From a few seeds of Dianthus plumarius, the true hardy type, we observed one particular 
plant that flowered continuously from early summer until late fall. The plants we propagated 
proved very hardy over winter and, as a matter of fact, the typical blue-green color of the 
carnation foliage remained practically unchanged. There are other good Dianthus with per- 
haps a bit larger blooms, but we still believe Pink Princess will prove more hardy and free 
flowering even in colder climates. Its real spicy perfume is just as pleasing as the fragrance 
of the finest greenhouse carnations most everybody loves. 75 cts. each; 3 for $2.00; 10 for $6.50
