Early “Cushion” Chrysanthemums 
This is the group which is widely known as “‘Azalea-mums.”’ Unfortu- 
nately many being offered under that name are not as early as the original 
Pink Cushion. To provide a complete color range of early blooming var- 
ieties we have included some varieties with larger flowers and better 
colors than are available in the true cushion type. 
PRICE: Each 55c; 3 of any one variety $1.50; 12 of any one variety 
$5.00. 
APRICOT GLOW. Rich apricot-bronze high centered flowers 214” dia. 
Plants are symmetrical mounds 18” high and spreading to 3’. Rich 
green foliage. Blooms from mid-August to killing frost. 
DWARF JEWEL. Large, deep, warm lavender pompon flowers that 
resemble those grown in green houses. Plants are dwarf compact 
mounds completely covered with bloom. Mid-September, 15”. 
EUGENE WANDER. Immense clusters of very large graceful flowers 
make the plants veritable mounds of vivid golden yellow. Sept., 1% in. 
FIRE GLOW. Bright bronzy red cushion with attractive deep leathery 
green foliage. 
LAVENDER LASSIE. The new pompon companion to Lavender Lady 
with cushion-like growth. Color a soft silvery lavender, a little deeper 
than Lavender Lady. 24 in. 
MAJOR CUSHION. A deep rose pink with gold center which does 
not look “‘washed out’”’ with age. Will certainly replace the older pink 
cushion varieties. 
NEWMANS YELLOW. A multitude of clear bright yellow medium 
size blooms from mid-September. One of the showiest. 
SANTA CLAUS (RED CUSHION). Large bushy plants literally 
covered with brilliant red double flowers from early September. 20 in. 
LYTHRUM 
(Loosestrife) 
Tall spires of rosy lavender put the new 
lythrums at the top of the list of perennials that 
are a ““must’”’ for new and old perennial borders. 
They grow to 3 ft. in height, bloom from late 
June to September, do well in dry sunny spots or 
in partial shade and like moist soil growing, 
even, in poorly drained spots. 
Morden’s Pink. The clearest pink of all the new 
lythrums. Color is a clear, warm rose. Estab- 
lished plants produce 20 or more flower spikes 
MATRICARIA 
(Feverfew) 
Little Gem. Masses of double white flowers 
like miniature pompon chrysanthemums are 
borne on 2 ft. plants throughout most of the 
summer. Long lasting cut flower. 
50c each; 3 for $1.30; Doz. $4.50. 
ORIENTAL POPPY 
Note: Oriental Poppies should be transplanted only in 
30 in. tall. 

Oriental Iris look like enormous orchids. 
Oriental or I. Kaempferi 
Like very large orchids these iris are becoming 
tremendously popular. They are a breath taking 
sight in late June and early July when so many 
perennials are going out of bloom, three or four 
blooms being produced on the 3% ft. stalks. 
They are greatly improved by abundant water- 
ing during June and July and like a slightly acid 
soil. 
Blue Waves. Large semi-double wisteria-blue 
with striking gold centers. One of the most 
distinctive. 
Gold Bound. Very large double pure white with 
gold banded center. 
Kagari Bi. The very large Aeetie flowers are a 
striking Chinese red with lighter veins and a 
yellow spot at the base of each petal. 
Koko-No-Iro. Enormous double flowers of rich 
violet-purple with the center, smaller petals 
tipped with violet. 
Repsime. A very large double of light blue with 
wide white margins. 
PRICE. Any of the Oriental Iris 55c each; 3 for 
$1.50; Doz. $5.00. 
Dwarf Iris 
We like these dwarf iris because they can be 
tucked into odd spots which they brighten in 
very early spring. Need practically no care. 
Atroviolacea. Rich wine red; very dwarf; free 
blooming. 
Sambo. Dark violet-blue; dwarf and early. 
PRICE, Either of the Dwarf Iris 50c each, 3 for 
$1.30; Doz. $4.50. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; Doz. $5.00. 

Lythrum blooms from June to September. 
LINUM 
(Blue Flax) 
Perenne. These dainty plants have feathery foli- 
age and myriads of small chicory blue flowers 
borne throughout most of the summer. Does 
best in a light warm soil. 
45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $4.00. 
LUPINS 
Russell Hybrids Mixed. There is nothing more 
beautiful than these tall spires of soft colors 
ranging from pinks to reds, buff to bronze, 
blue to purple with many bicolors. They grow 
four to five feet high and bloom in June. 
50c each; 3 for $1.30; Doz. $4.50.

the late summer. All orders received in the spring will 
be reserved for fall shipment. 
By far the showiest of all perennials. Are seen 
to best advantage against a background of 
shrubs where they may be left undisturbed for 
years. Grow in any soil but are best in a rich loam. 
Beauty of Livermore. Dark crimson with 
black blotch. 
Gold of Ophir. Golden orange. 
Henri Cayeux. Old rose shading to burgundy. 
Lula A. Neely. Deep ox-blood red.

3 of any one variety $1.50; 12 of any one 
variety $5.00. 
“This spring my ‘Mrs. Perry’ Oriental Poppy has 
won wide acclaim—this was purchased from Harris about 
three years ago. The Gold Bound Oriental Iris was a breath- 
taking sight two weeks ago, and the Regal lilies!—well, 
folks were paying more attention to my lilies than the 
sermon, which was really a good one.

Rt. 2, Barton, New York 7/24/46 

Oriental Poppy roots are sent to you in August,
