CATANANCHE 
Giant Cupid’s Dart 
Coerulea major 
One of our most popular introductions in 
Modern Perennials. Sometimes called Love 
Plant. Bright, deep violet-blue, 2-in. flowers 
like double Cornflower or Bachelor’s Button; 
on silvery, slender branching stems; silvery 
buds and seed-hips. Slender, tufted, silvery 
foliage. Live and lovely for front of border. 
Height, 20 in.; excellent for cutting—this lacy, 
dainty flower may be used in bouquets of most 
any garden blooms with artistic effect. Fine 
for boutonniere. Blooms profusely from July 
till frost. Think of having these delightful 
flowers all summer and fall, right from the 
time the spring Bachelor’s Buttons go off 
because of the hot weather. Award of Merit, 
Royal Horticultural Society.

GYPSOPHILA, Rosy Veil 
Baby’s-Breath 
This lower-growing double pink Baby’s- 
Breath has won wide popularity with its end- 
less possibilities in the modern garden. Very 
generous in bloom, the airy sprays form a 
heavy mat of delicate pink during June and 
July, and also flower again in fall. The artistic 
sprays ate invaluable for bouquets in the 
home, particularly to set off other and larger 
blooms. Especially useful in mixed borders 
where its unusual form and lacy foliage lend a 
touch of the unusual. Different from the 
commonly known perennial Baby’s-Breath, 
plants never become overgrown and keep to 
18 in. tall or less. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 

COREOPSIS 
Golden Shower 
Richly decorative from June until 
frost, a single plant will produce a 
continuous cascade of star-like golden 
flowers. The rich color remains so 
clear all through the season that it 
seems every day has its own generous 
supply of fresh, new blooms 1% in. 
across. Undaunted by the hot dry 
weather and almost defiant of fall 
frosts, the fine 24-in. plants have 
quite unexpected, very decorative, 
bright green grassy foliage, finely cut, 
remarkably disease-resistant. One of 
the most satisfying of all garden 
novelties to really brighten dull spots. 
This modern version will win its way 
everywhere. Its brightness of bloom 
and the decorative note contributed 
by the finely fashioned foliage never 
fail to capture attention and admira- 
tion in any garden.
