Dianthus Old Spice 
(U. S. Patent No. 499) 












A choice Hybrid, possessing, it seems, all the good qualities you can 
ask for in a plant. 
First—It is as hardy as an Oak, 
Second—Habit of growth is neat, 
are about 12 inches tall. 
Third—It flowers prolifically over a long period, 20 or more flowers 
on a single plant. 
Fourth—Color of the beautifully moulded flowers is rich salmon-pink 
like that of the popular greenhouse Carnation, Laddie. 
Fifth—The calyx does not split as is the case with the old-fashioned 
Clove Pinks. All the flowers are perfectly formed. 
Sixth—The flowers, when cut, last a long time. 
Mr. F. F. Rockwell, horticultural writer of note, says: ‘I think it is a 
knockout. The color is remarkable. It is one of the finest new border 
flowers in a decade.”

cushion-like and compact. Stems 
DICENTRA - Bleeding Heart 
Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of Dielytra. The 
species named below have fleshy, brittle stems and finely cut, fernlike 
foliage. 
Culture. Spectabilis should be grown in a partially shady border. Eximia 
will do well in a similar position, or in the woodland garden, or in a shady 
nook of the rockery. Plant in fall or very early spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. 
*Eximia Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
(Plumy Bleeding Heart.) A dwarf-growing sort, with beautiful, finely 
cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers throughout the 
season. Too much cannot be said for this fine border plant as it is 
equally at home in full shade or sun and perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Spectabilis Each 90c, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
(Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower.) An old-fashioned favorite; its long 
racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; 
it is used also for forcing in the house, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in clumps. 
PYRETHRUM - Colored Marguerite or Painted Daisy 
They produce showy flowers of all shades of color, except blue and yel- 
low, freely on long stems throughout spring, which are of inestimable 
value for cutting. They grow in neat, compact tufts, and have elegant, 
finely cut foliage, which adds to the attractiveness of the plants. 
Culture. The best time to plant is in spring; early fall planting is also 
very successful. Grow them in groups of not less than three plants, 
planted a foot to 15 inches apart. 
Miami Queen Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Semi-double pink flowers of a lighter shade than Trojan, equally good 
for cutting or the hardy border. 
Trojan Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A very lovely, free flowering semi-double dark pink variety. Tall stems. 
A good cut flower and a good one in the garden. 
Finest Mixed English Varieties Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
This mixture contains double- and single-flowered sorts in many shades 
of pink, rose and white. Strong, 2-year clumps that will give immediate 
results. , 
RUDBECKIA - Coneflower 
Hardy, free-flowering and easily grown perennials, somewhat akin to the 
Sunflowers in habit. Excellent and showy plants for sunny or partially 
shaded borders, and for yielding flowers for cutting. 
Culture. Ordinary soil in sun, or shade. Can be grown singly or in groups. 
Plant in autumn or spring, 12 to 15 inches apart. Divide and replant 
every third year. 
The King Each 60c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.00 
It bears its large starlike, deep crimson-red flowers nobly on stiff stems. 
An established clump will produce from 10 to 20 fine spikes, never 
failing, no matter how hot or dry it may be. From half open buds to 
the orange-brown seed pod, the plant is always attractive. Insect free, 
BSE bothered by weather, easily grown, almost indestructible. Height 
eet. 
White Lustre Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A beautiful stately plant with large pure white starlike flowers, the cones 
of which have a delightful metallic lustre not unlike old brass and old 
copper mixed. The stems are stiff, 3 feet high, foliage clean and 
insect free, never bothered by hot or dry weather and just about grows 
anywhere as long as the location is sunny. An established plant will 
produce from 10 to 15 fine spikes, never failing regardless of weather. 
Hardy as an Oak.

Dianthus, Old Spice 
Stokesia 
Cornflower Aster; Stokes’ Aster 
A very handsome perennial, with China-Aster-like flowers, that appear 
late in the season, about September. It prefers a warm, sheltered loca- 
tion. Should certainly be grown in all gardens since its flowers are most 
beautiful in form and color. y j 
Culture. Grow in a sunny, well-drained border in sandy loam, 6 inches 
apart. Plant in March or early autumn. 
Blue Moon Three $1.85, Doz. $5.50, 100 $35.00 
The immense light blue disc-like flowers are 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 
growing on stiff 12- to 18-inch stems. In the foreground of the bor- 
der they make a picture not easily duplicated. Stokesia, Blue Moon, 
is a vigorous-growing and free-flowering variety of exceptional merit 
and distinction. It is perfectly hardy and has no insects bothering it. 
It is of easy culture and flowers throughout the summer and autumn 
until stopped by hard frosts. A most worth-while addition to the hardy 
plant garden.
