Veronica, 
Crater Lake Blue 































VERONICA spicata, 
Crater Lake Blue 
(Left) 
Here is one of the most de- 
pendable of the Veronicas. 
A marvelous new shade of 
blue. The only way we can 
think of to describe this color 
adequately is the bright hue of 
Oregon’s famous Crater Lake. 
Clear, cool and long-lasting 
in your garden, the airy spikes 
are like the blue spires of 
fairyland. Anestablished plant 
may enliven your garden with 
dozens of individual flower- 
spikes displayed generously 
for a long period in June. 
Especially good in the fore- 
ground of a perennial border 
where you want a solid mass 
of cool blue. The plants, 
which grow 20 inches tall, do 
well in either full sun or par- 
tial shade. 
65¢ each; 3 for $1.75; 
6 for $3.25

New York State Strain Varieties 
DELPHINIUM, 
Dauntless 
(Right) 
A staunch, lovely member of 
the Northern New York Del- 
phinium strain. 
The flowering spikes are long 
and compact—filled with large 
attractive individual double 
florets of a lively lavender 
shade, which do not shatter 
until after all the buds are open. 
The plants are sturdy and vig- 
orous, grow about 414 ft. tall 
and come into bloom with four 
to six spikes about two 
weeks later than the other 
varieties of the strain. The 
foliage is very good. 
Dauntless is an excellent Del- 
phinium, use it alone or with 
the others to lengthen the gay 
Delphinium blooming season 
in your garden. It reblooms 
in fall when the flowers last 
long after the first frosts. 
75e each; 3 for $2.00; 
6 for $3.75; 25 for $13.75
