Giant Cupid’s Dart 
Coerulea major 
Bright, deep violet-blue, 2-in. flowers like double Corn-flower 
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 bou- 
quets 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 stop blooming because 
of the hot weather.

CARNATION, IRENE (Below) 
Dianthus caryophyllus (Plant Patent No. 747) 
THE MOST FRAGRANT OF ALL GARDEN PINKS 
The fragrance of Irene is one of its outstanding qualities . . 
literally drenches the garden with old-fashioned, clove-scented 
fragrance unequaled by any other garden Pink. Flowers them- 
selves are pridaced continuously, the new buds opening as the 
old ones finish. One 8-in. plant in our garden had over 60 flow- 
ers last spring. Irene is an exquisite shade of pink, bearing 2 to 
214-in., very double flowers, averaging about 60 petals each. 
The sturdy stems are 12 to 15 in. long and the plant makes a 
solid mound of color in the garden. A sport of England's top- 
favorite white Carnation, Mrs. Sinkins. 
This delightful Pink will give you as much enjoyment as any 
other perennial because of its unusually heavy fragrance, its 
amazing number of flowers and easy culture. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.00; 12 for $10.00

VIOLA, Yellow Vixen 
(Below) 
A Dainty and Attractive 
Novelty 
A new hardy everblooming perennial Viola 
in a bright clear yellow which will make 
your gardens and borders more colorful 
from early spring to frost. Originated here 
in Northern New York, it has lived through 
many hard winters demonstrating its vigor, 
winter resistance and ability to come up 
veat in and year out. The pert faces of this 
hardy Viola are always cheerful, always 
smiling up at you merrily. The 214-in. 
flawers are borne on upright 6 to 8-in. 
stems. The compact, bushy plant does 
not mind having flowers and foliage freely 
cut for household use. The foliage is a 
rich dark green, an excellent contrast to 
the intriguing yellow flowers, which are 
always in evidence because of the unusually 
long period of bloom. 
It will do well in the border, particularly 
as an edging and also in combination with 
Viola Purple Heart. It is not too particular 
as to soil and will be a good rock-garden 
plant because of its low, spreading form. 
Viola Yellow Vixen will find many uses 
in the garden and its constant show of 
color will be much appreciated. 
75e each; 3 for $2.00; 6 for $3.75; 
12 for $7.50; 100 for $50.00

Crater Lake Blue 
(Below) 
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 Crater Lake. 
Clear, cool and long-lasting in your 
garden, the airy spikes are like the 
blue spires of fairyland. An estab- 
lished plant may enliven your gar- 
den with dozens of individual 
flower-spikes displayed generously 
for a long period in June. The 
plants, which grow 20 in. tall, do 
well in either full sun or partial 
shade.
