GARDEN BEAUTY 
Perennials are the flowers that come up year after 
year without having to be re-planted each spring. 
We have tested hundreds of different varieties here at 
Newark, New York, and offer only the best ones in 
our catalog. We look for clear, strong color, profu- 
sion of bloom, and general hardiness in selecting those 
which we recommend for your garden. Our goal is to 
give you plants which will provide the greatest 
amount of satisfaction with the least possible effort. 
You don’t need a ‘‘green thumb’’ to grow J. & P. 
Modern Perennials! 
You will make your garden more attractive and 
at the same time save yourself money if you buy 
ce in group. All plants are guaranteed to 
ive and bloom, of course. 
PENTSTEMON, Ruby King (Left) 
(Propagation Rights Reserved) 
An interesting new hybrid Pentstemon. Glittering color 
for a continued arresting display of 2-in. trumpet-like flow- 
ers. Flower-spikes are 18 to 24 in. high and are produced 
freely even the first year. Eight or ten spikes . . . bubbling 
over with the rich ruby trumpet flowers held proudly above 
the bushy plants. Illuminated by the clear white throat and 
inside of the trumpet, each flower-spike seems to dance in 
the summer breezes. Foliage is shiny dark green and very 
slender . . . adds compelling interest. 
Last summer this started blooming in the fields during 
late June and we were still picking bouquets on October 
10th. It should bloom just as freely in your garden next 
summer and fall. 
The flowers of Pentstemon, Ruby King are larger, more free 
blooming, and more showy than previous hybrids. It needs 
a sheltered position and winter protection here, and does 
not like wet feet, but it is well worth the extra effort for its 
novelty and colorful interest.

SCABIOSA, Blue Lady (Left) 
New and indeed exquisite! The first hardy and 
much-sought-for perennial American Hybrid Scab- 
iosa available in this country in a named plant, 
true in color, type, and habit—a superb J. & P. 
introduction. The ray petals of the beautiful 3-in., 
slightly cupped, azure-blue flowers are perfectly 
formed and charmingly frilled. The inside florets 
send out first a dainty pink-tipped stamen and 
later blue-shaded pistils, soon filling the 
entire center with the same shade of color 
as the outer petals—a lovely effect. Plant 
is an artistic rosette of large leaves. Flowers 
appear in series on stems 18 to 24 in. tall, 
and if kept cut, continue in bloom all season, 
from June through Sept. Long-lasting 
both in the garden and as cut-flowers for 
the house.
