HARDY PERENNIALS Continues) 
Price: 50c per plant, $5.00 per doz., $35.00 per 100, except where noted 
Varieties starred (*) are suitable for Rock Gardens. Varieties daggered (+) are suitable for Cut Flowers. 
ASTILBE—See Spiraeas 
BOLTONIA (False-camomile) 
}-Asteroides—Flower heads pure white; flowering at the same 
time as the popular Michaelmas Daisies, 5 to 6 feet. 
}Latisquama—Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above. 5 
feet. 
BEGONIA (Hardy) 
Evansiana—This is an ideal hardy bulb for planting in a wood- 
land or ground cover. If you have a shady place in the wood 
or under shrubs which in early spring are gay with Virginia 
Blue Bells, Trillium, Grape Hyacinths and Bloodroot they fre- 
quently present a sore sight in summer and fall when the 
foliage has disappeared. Begonia Evansiana can be planted in 
any of these locations where some kind of cover is required 
and I am sure you will be delighted with the results they give 
you. It is one of the most useful of summer-flowering shrubs. 
It grows and blooms where nothing else will and is excellent 
for naturalistic plantings, 
BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush) 
};Empire Blue (Patent 557)—A distinct new variety of deep 
blue with delicate lilac overtones. One of the best ever intro- 
duced. Price: 75e each, $7.50 per dozen. 
}+}Charming—Vigorous and very free flowering producing a 
profusion of large lavender pink trusses continuously through- 
out the Summer. Small young plants set out in the Spring 
quickly grow to a height of 4 to 6 feet and of about the same 
diameter. We suggest the pinching off in July of the first 
flower spikes showing, to aid the development of side shoots, 
which will bring better flowers later in the season. 
}+Dubonnet—Color is an exact counterpart of the popular 
French Wine Dubonnet. The firm cylindrical spikes are snugly 
set with individual flowers of good size that do not sunburn. 
The plant is of robust erect growth with strong stems; the 
leaves are large and of firm leathery texture. A good late Sum- 
mer cut-flower. 
}Fascinating—Long, graceful, open blooms of Cattleya-pink 
produced in quantity throughout the summer and fall. The 
individual flowers are about 15 inches long and this color used 
in connection with the deep purple and white varieties is out- 
standing in its value as a garden plant. Buddleias make ideal 
planting where privacy is desired during the summer months 
because they are very showy in their flowering season which is 
very long and are nice tall, compact growing subjects with 
little, if any, disease affecting them. Price: $1.00 each, 
$10.60 per dozen. 
+Flaming Violet (Patent Number 519)—tThe finest and most 
brilliant of all Buddleias. Immense spikes of flaming Violet or 
imperial purple, intensely brilliant and sparkling with a fiery 
glow rarely seen in flowers. Flower trusses are unusually large, 
measuring 12 to 15 inches long. Individual flowers are spaced 
closely and open practically all at the same time. They last a 
long time in bloom on the shrub as well as when cut and 
placed in water. The plant is vigorous, strong, and upright in 
growth. Flowers throughout the Summer and Autumn. Price: 
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
tOrchid Beauty—A splendid new variety of soft cattleyea- 
lilac with a brilliant orange eye. Somewhat similar in color to 
the well-known variety “Fortune” but differing from it by 
having long, tapering spikes, similar in form and size to the 
popular “Charming.” A real addition to the Buddleia list. 
Price: 75e each, $7.50 per dozen. 
“Coreopsis 
Hills of Gold’ 
(Description on page 34) 
t+Royal Red—As a Hardy plant for cut flower purposes in the 
Summer it is unsurpassed for beauty and usefulness. It can be 
grown as an ornamental lawn shrub and form early July to 
late frost this plant will produce an abundance of rich red 
panicles attracting instant attention. Grows about six feet high 
with deep leathery green foliage. All plants we offer will flowe: 
the first season. Price: 75e each, $7.50 per dozen. 
+White Bouquet (Patent Rights Reserved)—Very fragrant 
and the dark green foliage has a lovely silvery sheen, a perfect 
setting for the blooms. The white seedling of the popular “Tle 
de France” and just as hardy. White in the garden during the 
Summer months is very much sought after, and this variety 
flowers from July until frost and will give quantities of cut 
flowers for the home. The long, graceful sprays are very decora 
time and a delightful acquisition in bouquets with other Sum 
mer flowers. (214” pot plants for Spring delivery.) Price: 
75e each, 3 plants for $2.00, 12 plants $7.50. 
CAMPANULAS 
(Canterbury-bells or Bellilower ) 
These lovely flowers have a great variety of color and form and 
the taller varieties are useful for cut-flowers as well as in the 
hardy border. 
* Garganiea—A very choice gem for the Rock Garden. It is 
very hardy, blooms from late June to September. It is a heav- 
enly blue, and has trailing habits of growth, but at the same 
time is neat. The foliage is almost as distinctive and attractive 
as the flower; 3 to 6 inches high. 
+Mledium—Same bell shaped flower growth as the Calycanthema 
except they do not have the saucer effect and are, therefore, 
known as the Singles. Blue only. Biennial. 
+Mlisty Morn—This introduction has 30-inch, spire-like flower 
stems covered with double lavender blue bells. The soft, silver 
shade of the flowers gives them a frosty appearance. A mag- 
nificent plant for the garden and superb as a cut-flower subject. 
Flowers in early Spring.
