LYTHRUM., 
Morden’s Pink (Right) 
One of the Showiest and 
Most Satistying of All 
Perennials 
A remarkably showy and satis- 
factory plant, Lythrum, Morden’s 
Pink, won the acclaim of all who 
saw it in our new display garden 
last summer. Throughout the 
perennial borders, Morden’s Pink 
was planted in groups of five, and 
all during July and August they 
were truly magnificent! The gen- 
erous full spikes of a clear, lovely 
soft pink are produced in great 
masses and make a fine show. Each 
plant miraculously sends up 10 or a 
dozen sturdy 3 to 4-foot spikes, 
each one covered for almost its 
entire length with a tumbled pat- 
tern of clear pink florets. And 
these lovely blooms will remain 
beautiful and fresh for a remarkably 

CAMPANULA, Blue Carpet 
(Carpatica Improved) 
We recommend this highly for edgings, for 
rock gardens, or any other location where 
you want a very striking low ““carpet-of- 
blue” from June to Fall. Will grow well 
for you in full sun or in semi-shady places. 
Blue Carpet has the larger, light blue, 
bell-shaped flowers on 5 to 6-inch stems. 
Very conspicuous and showy, it is a neat 
compact plant that will help you to have 
color in your perennial pene? all season. 
A great favorite for edgings and for rocker- 
ies. This variety is exceptional, giving blue 
color when there is very little other blue in 
the garden. Remains attractive all season, 
and doesn’t sprawl like other members of 
this family.

long period. Has a more open 
growth than the Beacon. Perfectly 
hardy, it will thrive in wet or dry 
places in your garden where its 
generous profusion of beautiful 
pink spikes add height and interest. 
The 3 to 4-foot plants are a solid 
mass of color in midsummer and 
should be used generously in groups 
throughout the border to enhance 
your garden picture.

LYTHRUM, The Beacon 
(Right) 
(Salicaria.) For small borders or large 
mass planting, the long-lasting, clear 
deep carmine-red flowers on large spikes 
are truly a beacon that adds sparkle and 
interest to the garden; side spikes follow 
almost to the ground. The vigorous 
plants do well with practically no care; 
the foliage is willow-like and interesting. 
Turns a brilliant red in fall. Thrives 
equally in wet semi-shade and open, 
dry sun. Continuous, July to frost.
