BLEEDING-HEART (Dicentra spectabilis) (Above) 
A proved favorite of grandmother’s day, which is just as valuable now as it was then. 
Grows to about 30 in., every year gaining in breadth and width. The ‘‘Bleeding-hearts”’ 
are borne in graceful sprays which first appear with the early primulas and daffodils and 
finally finish with the later polemonium and iris. Will do well in either semi-shade or 
sunny positions. 
Here the Parade of Modern Perennials is joined by two rabbits, a harp, grandpa’s glasses, 
a bottle anda broken heart . . . for according to the Legends of Flowers, all those things 
are to be found in each “‘Bleeding-heart’’ blossom. Without taking the flowers apart to 
see those things, you will find each plant a very welcome addition to your garden because 
it is one of the most showy, the most interesting, and the most effective of the old fa-

chrysanthemum-like Esther Reed, with its immacu- 
late white of a commencement-day dress, is June at its 
best. It is a Modern Shasta Daisy developed from 
Burbank’s world-famous original. One of the easiest- 
to-grow plants for achieving a prim, white, mass 
effect. Almost entirely free from bother by insects or 
disease. It is perpetually in bloom from June to 
October, lavish with flowers you want for the home. 
The stunning, completely double flowers have strong 
18-in. stems. The plants enjoy being divided every 
two years and require slight protection in the 
coldest areas.

SEDUM spectabile, BRILLIANT 
Stonecrop (Above) 
Nearly every garden has some barren place where 
this determined plant can be a sure-fire note of color 
with its gorgeous immense amaranth-red flower- 
heads. Especially endowed by nature with thick, 
succulent, light green leaves which store up moisture, 
it is able to withstand even the hottest, driest summer 
weather. Rugged, erect-growing plants attain a height 
of 18 in. Very ornamental even before the blooming 
season arrives; indispensable as a late fall bloomer. 
Rejoices in a hot dry spot, but it does well in any 
garden location with ordinary soil and sun. Will 
thrive even in semi-shade. Most effective in clumps 
of three or more, planted 12 to 18 in. apart. 
55e each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75
