pound foliage of thin texture and dainty nodding flowers

free of troublecem2 garden pests. These hardy perennials 
ar> favorit s amongst gardeners everywhere!

crs through a long period, early Spring to early Summer.

blooms hang daintily from arched st2ms during mid- and 
late Spring. Plant in light shade for best r2sults in a deep,

in the Summer. Must be planted in Fall, Winter, or very 
carly Spring. 90Oc and $1.25. 
White Bleeding Heart 
*formosa Sweetheart—A rather new introduction which, we 
think, is one of our best plants for shaded gardens. The 
ample, translucent, pale green leaves look as cool as a 
woodland dell. The clusters of gracefully suspended blooms 
are purest white and follow one another in endless suc- 
cession from mid-Spring till frost. This rare variety was 
discovered in southern Oregon and has proved remark- 
ably hardy and vigorous. It increases moderately when 
given rich, organic soil with ample moisture and continu- 
ous light to heavy, high shade. It blends well with all wood- 
land plants, especially ferns, and is valuable for naturaliz- 
ing. Dicentra Sweetheart is delicately fragrant and has 
sturdy, 12 to 15 inch stems for cutting. We cannot rec- 
ommend this ever-blooming White Bleeding Heart too 
highly! Strong, blooming-size plants from pots, each $1.00, 
three $2.75, six $5.00; large field grown plants, each 
$1.50. 
DICTAMNUS—Gas Plant 
DICTAMNUS albus (Gas Plant) —A very satisfactory plant, both 
because of its showy flowers and fragrant, rich and dura- 
ble foliage. Grows about 3 feet high and during the Sum- 
mer months produces its odd-shaped flowers of white. 
Should be planted in a permanent place, because it im- 
proves with age. Full sun in a heavy but well-drained soil 
generously enriched with old, rotted manure. Hardy, in- 
destructible specimen plants for the border blooming in 
late Spring and early Summer. Plant 1 2 to 2 feet apart. 
Eacheiiog, three S2,00/;six $3./5- 
albus rubra—Spikes of rosy-purple blooms, the deeper veins 
creating a quaint effect. Displayed to best advantage with 
the white or in groups in the perennial border. Each 75c, 
three $2.00, six $3.75. 
DORON!ICUM—Lecpardsbane 
DORONICUM—One of the first border perennials to bloom in 
early Spring, making excellent cut flowers as well as a 
showy garden disp!ay. The Daisy-like flowers are colorful 
and bright and the heart-shaped, mostly basal leaves are 
substantial in color and texture. Culture is simple in an 
ordinary loam in sun or moderate shade. The foliage dis- 
appears when the plants become dormant in Summer. Lift 
and divide every third season. Particularly effective when 
planted 8 to 10 inches apart in groups of six or more. 
Pardalianches —- Produces its profusion of long-stemmed, 
canary-yellow flowers after plantagineum has finished 
blooming, and if cut back as soon as petals fall it will give 
some bloom in the Fall. Does well in light shade. Hairy, 
grayish foliage that is effective and different. 4 ft. Each 
50c, three $1.40, six $2.50; large size, each 75c. 
plantagineum—Large golden-yellow flowers on stems to 3 
feet or more. Smooth green leaves in a compact basal 
clump. Very effective in the early Spring garden. Each 
50c, three $1.40, six $2.50; large size, each 75c. 

DiICENTRA FORMOSA SWEETHEART 
DRY AS—Mountain Dryad 
DRYAS “octopetala—Semi-evergreen carpets of small, Oak- 
like leaves with medium-sized white Anemone-like flowers 
on 6 inch stems during Spring and Summer. It flowers most 
freely in very limy soil, which is well-drained and porous. 
Likes a sunny but not dry position. Resents being disturbed. 
This and the other Mountain Dryads make excellent 
groundcovers for small areas. Pots, each 50c, three $1.40, 
six $2.50; field, large size, each 75c. 
*“gctopetala minor—A more compact variety which we con- 
sider even better than the type. The glossy, dark green 
mats are a lovely foil for the short-stemmed, white cups 
resembling the single Roses to which they are related. 
The flowers are produced over a long period from mid- 
Spring onward. Pots, each 60c, three $1.60, six $3.00; 
field, large size, each 85c. 
*Suendermannii—-Supposediy a hybrid betwren Drummondii 
and octopetala but perhaps only a form of the latter. Very 
pale yellow in the bud, opening crzamy-white. A wide- 
spreading carpeter of easy culture. Like other Dryas the 
seed heads are Ornamental miniature plumes. 6 in. Late 
Spring and early Summer. Pots, each 50c, three $1.40, six 
$2.50; field, large size, each 75c.
