NNIEREMBERGIA 
Five hundred individual cup shaped blue flowers are 
not at all unusual for this plant to produce in a single 
season. It is probably the most dependable low border 
plant for an endless succession of bloom. It grows less 
than a foot high but bushes out to the size of a half 
bushel basket. The plant is perennial but is not hardy 
in.the north. Pkt., 25¢e. Plants shipped in spring only, 
35c each; 3 for 95c; 12 for $3.50, postpaid. 
HARDY ORCHID 
The Lady Slipper or Cypripedium is a popular mem- 
ber of the Orchid family, in fact so popular that it has 
become almost extinet in its native haunts. The beauti- 
ful yet curious flowers are produced on 12 inch stems 
in early summer. They are best suited to a shaded loca- 
tion with ample moisture. They are especially suited 
for planting around pools in the shade of overhanging 
trees. We can furnish plants in the following colors: 
PINK, YELLOW, at 35c each; 3 for 95c; 12 for $3.50, 
LEMON LILY 
Hyperion. This is one of the new hybrid forms of 
Hemerocallis or Lemon Lily. It is the finest of recent in- 
troductions, delightfully fragrant and an ideal cut flower, 
the buds opening well in water. The flowers are a fine 
citron-yellow and produced in great numbers on stout 40 
inch stems. Thrives in moist ground around pools and 
along streams and seems to do equally well in poor soil 
and on hot dry banks. Does well in full sunlight or partial 
shade. When first introduced, this variety sold at $2.50 
each. It is rapidly gaining in popularity and we are able, 
this year, to offer it at 80c each; 3 for $2.30, postpaid. 
HARDY PRIMROSES 
Munstead Giants 
Interesting, colorful low-growing plants. Almost 
color or combination of colors you ean think of, except 
blue, will be found in these beautiful hybrid primroses. 
They can be planted in the shade and do especially well in 
a moist situation. They bloom very early in the spring and 
any 
the flower spra¥s almost entirely cover the foliage. Plants, 
40c each; 3 for $1.10; 12 for $4.00, postpaid. 
Popular garden flower, showing a wonderful array of 
vivid colors in faney patterns. Flowers are shaped, clus- 
tered and colored much like Phlox, the markings being 
more sharply defined. A fine mixture of both delicate and 
gorgeous colors. Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 35c. 
Enormous heads of brilliant flowers pro- 
to the hardy border and for general landscape 
work; also a fine cut flower. We have discarded the common varieties and offer here only those 
we know will well repay our customers for 
the little care they require. They average 2 to 
8 feet in height and bloom from June to October. 
CAROLINE VANDENBERG. Considered by many 
growers fo be the best of the so-called “blue” phlox. 
The color is clear lavender-blue and the large flowers 
are produced in broad heads. 
DAILY SKETCH. Enormous flowers in beautiful 
trusses. A fine pink with a bright, carmine eye. This 
variety does not fade and blooms intermittently until 
frost. Much has been written about this Phlox. 
E. I. FARRINGTON. Large trusses of light salmon 
pink flowers with a lighter pink eye. 
FLASH. One of the best new reds. The color is 
brilliant scarlet with an orange cast. Large heads on 
- tall stems. 
_ FREE NETHERLANDS. This fine variety came to us 
just a few weeks before the invasion of Holland, under 
the name of Frau Von Mautner. Large “branched pan- 
icles of salmon orange flowers. Cannot be too highly 
recommended. 
GIANT SCABIOSA 
GIANT HYBRIDS. One of the most beautiful hardy 
perennials. A wonderful improvement over other varie- 
ties of Scabiosa. Long-stemmed giant ruftled flowers 
from August until frost. Valuable for cutting. A fine 
ix ure of all pastel shades of blue and lavender. 
 Pkt., 25¢; 44 oz., 85c.

MARY LOUISE. No larger flower has ever been pro- 
duced on any Phlox. The flowers are pure white with- 
out shadings of any description. They are so large that 
when we placed a silver dollar on the florets of one- 
year old plants we found the silver disc wanting in size. 
The flower edges actually overlapped the metal coin. 
SALMON BEAUTY. A really unusual and interesting 
color combination. The large flowers are deep salmon 
pink, but instead of having a “ring” or “‘eye,’’ the center 
is made up of two pure white “beams” covering a third 
of each floret, gradually blending into the outer area of 
salmon-pink. <A beautiful sight. 
STARLIGHT. Large flowers of dark, bluish-purple, 
with a star-shaped white eye, produced in massive, com- 
pact heads. Very striking.
