PERKINS PERENNIALS FOR YOUR GARDEN 
Pentstemon (Beard-Tongue) 
Garnet. A large-flowered dark red Pentstemon, blooming 
continuously until frost. Keeps well as a cut- flower. Needs 
winter protection. Each 50c. 
Ruby King. A choice hybrid Pentstemon. The 2-inch 
trumpet-like flowers are rich ruby with a white throat. 
The flower spikes are from 18 to 24 inches high; the foliage 
is shiny dark green. Excellent cut-flower. Needs winter 
protection. Each 75c. 
Note. While neither of the above Pentstemons is likely to be 
hardy in Minnesota except under ideal conditions, both 
are worthy of a place in your garden and should give an 
abundance of bloom the first year. 
Physostegia (False Dragonhead) 
Summer Glow. Good plants for the sunny border; of easy 
culture. The deep pink flowers are borne on terminal spikes, 
and will last a long time when cut. Each 35c. 
Platycodon (Chinese Balloon-Flower) 
Grandiflorum. The Chinese Balloon-Flower gets its name 
from the interesting balloon-shaped buds which open into 
large bells. It blooms during the summer when there is 
likely to be a scarcity of flowers. The blooms are borne on 
2 to 3-foot spikes and last a long time. All dead blossoms 
should be removed. As the Platycodons do not start growth 
until late in the spring, part of the old stem should be left 
on in the fall when cleaning the garden or a stake should be 
placed near it. This will prevent destroying the plant when 
working in the garden early in the spring. Blue. Each 35c. 
Double. Flowers have two rows of petals. Blue. Each 50c.
