GIANT HARDY TRITOMA, Robin Hood 
(Left) 
Like a zooming rocket that prefers your garden to the sky, 
this glowing new hardy Tritoma “‘does everything ina big way”’ 
It has a lot more zing than the well-known Red Hot Poker and 
is perfectly hardy here at Newark, N . Y. Does not need to 
be taken up and stored over winter. Men go for the way it “‘flares 
up’ in late June with a burst of ten to twelve dazzling flower- 
spikes—and continues its floral pyrotechnics until late September. 
Its dramatic color accent has equal appeal for women, suggesting 
effective treatment of focal points in the garden, and a unique, 
Each 214-ft. stalk carries 
exotic note in flower arrangements. 
Polemonium, Blue Pearl 

POLEMONIUM, 
Blue Pearl 
Jacob’s Ladder 
Outstanding for use in the spring 
garden and for its intermittent 
bloom all summer. The gay 
baby-blue flower-heads above the 
green foliage form a lovely mass 
of airy blossoms, making a magic 
carpet of cool color 12 to 15 in. 
high. From early spring on into 
June, there are always as many as 
six to eight flower-stems growing 
on each plant. The clean dark 
green foliage forms a decorative 
tuft about 5 in. high, a fine gar- 
den ornament in itself; the many 
interesting leaflets become a 
showy cushion right up until 
frost.

6 for $3.25 
a sparkling spike 8 to 10 in. loag, so dramatic in its beauty that it 
creates a compelling center of interest wherever it grows. Long, 
natrow, lanceolate leaves make the foliage seem as though guard- 
ing the flame above. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.00 
VINCA MINOR . Myrtle 
Bowles Variety. ““The magic carpet of all 
ground-covers!’’ Alice-blue flowers de- 
lightful against luxuriant evergreen foli- 
age. Far superior to the old Vinca Minor, 
it blooms with the violets and repeats all 
season. Foliage never rusts or turns 
brown. Ideal for banks, under trees, and 
shady spots; plant 8 in. apart. (SO or 
more at 100 rate. ) 
3 for 90c; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $20.00 

DWARF POLYGONUM, Reynoutria 
One of the finest ground-covers. Colorful, particularly 
useful and attractive. Establishes itself well in poor or 
rich soil with very few underground runners. Thrives 
best in full sunlight; hovers 4 to 8 in. from soil. Blooms 
in August and September—fragrant, airy pink sprays 
similar to Silver Lace Vine; deep red buds. Interesting all 
season, in fall the foliage turns to beautiful autumn 
colors, as in the circle above. Just the thing to cover 
bate spots where nothing else will grow. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75; 100 for $40.00
