TRITOMA (Red Hot Poker) 
+Primrose Beauty—The beautiful clear primrose yellow 
spikes produced by this plant are unique for their grace as well 
as their delightful color. They are faultlessly shaped and slightly 
arched, creating a charming effect. Primrose Beauty blooms in 
early summer, on spikes about 40 inches tall, lending a charm 
to the flower border few other plants can. Price: 65e each, 
$5.00 per dozen. 
+Springtime (Patent 318) — A fascinating hardy Tritoma 
which flowers in late June and early July. The upper part of 
the flower is a rich coral red, the lower half ivory yellow. 
These sparkling and clear contrasting colors hold one’s atten- 
tion in a pleasing manner. Springtime grows in all kinds of 
soil and has weathered these winter conditions without any 
protection. Height, 30 inches. Priee: 65e each, 85.50 
per dozen. 
+Summer Sunshine—Flame-red spikes on stems 3 feet tall, 
flowering in July on a nice bushy plant which is attractive 
even when not in flower. Slight protection in winter is advisable 
in cold sections of the country. 
+Vanilla—3 feet, butter yellow. 
+White Fairy—Top cream yellow, shades to white. 
TROLLIUS (Buttercup) 
+*Golden Queen—A yery vigorous variety with unusually 
large flowers of a rich golden orange color. It flowers pro- 
fusely both in early Summer and in Autumn. Does best in a 
deep rich soil with ample moisture. Beautiful planted in bold 
clumps. ? 
+*Ledebouri — A most interesting, vigorous growing, large 
Buttercup flower of rich golden orange. Flowers profusely in 
early summer and autumn. Does best in deep rich soil with 
ample moisture and extremely showy planted in groups of 
two or three. 
TUNICA 
*Saxifraga Fl. Pl. rosea—A dancing miniature of the be- 
loved Baby’s Breath in double form, Reigning gayly through 
the heat of the Summer. Good Rockery plant. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
+Blue Peter—A recent English introduction of great merit has 
large navy-blue flowers on stiff stems and exceptionally fine 
habit of growth. Flowers from July to August 20th. 
+Blue Spire—A hybrid of Veronica Longifolia Subsessilis and 
Veronica Spicata which has retained the glorious dark color 
Viola Apricot Queen 

of Veronica Subsessilis. Grows about two feet tall. Bushy habit, 
and a real addition to the Summer blues, which at this par- 
ticular season are rather scarce. 
+Longifolia Subsessilis—This is one of the handsomest of 
the Veronica type. It has long spikes of a beautiful deep blue 
and is frequently used as a cut-flower. It attains a height of 
about 2 feet and flowers from July to September. 
Repens—A creeping form of Veronica which produces pinkish 
lavender flowers in late May. Is an excellent ground cover or 
filler between stones in a rock garden. 
VIOLA 
Violas like a moist loamy soil but do well under average soil 
conditions. They also like afternoon shade but this is not 
strictly essential. In early August cut off all long flowering 
runners about 3 inches from plant and they will continue to 
produce flowers all fall. Where low-growing, continuous bloom- 
ing is desired, plant Violas. 
+* Apricot Q@ueen—A fascinating shade of apricot that com- 
pels the immediate attention and admiration of all who see it. 
The plant has a neat, compact habit of growth and blooms 
freely from Spring to October. The requirements for success in 
growing this charming Viola are to locate the plants in full 
sun and to shear them close to the ground twice during the 
season. 
Giant Jersey Gem— An exact duplicate of the popular “Jersey 
Gem” introduced by us many years ago, except that “Giant 
Jersey Gem” is twice the size of “Jersey Gem” in flower—much 
sturdier and compact in growth and slightly deeper in color. 
Pot Plants Only for Spring Delivery. Price: 75c - 
each, $7.50 per dozen. 
* Jersey Gem—The peerless Viola that blooms from April 
until snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a deli- 
cious fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any 
good garden soil, but must have full sun for best results. 
*Purple Heart—(Pat. 671)—A deep violet purple with cen- 
ter showing a relieving spot of golden yellow. Flowers attain 
a size of 3 inches across produced on graceful stems 7-8 inches 
long. They bloom from early spring until fall. The edges of the 
petals are waved which make them an interesting cut flower 
subject. Price: 21%,’ pot plants only, 75c each, 
$7.50 per dozen. 
VIOLETS 
*The King’s Ermine—A beautiful white hardy garden Violet 
coming into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom 
very freely for many weeks. Throat a rich purple. 
*Rosima—A small soft ripe pink Violet blooming freely in the 
Spring and again in the Autumn. Delightfully fragrant. While 
it will grow well in the full sun, it does best in partial shade. 
* Royal Robe—This new Violet should be in every rock garden 
because it is a grand grower and a gem 
for a shady location. The flowers borne 
on long stems make a very attractive 
corsage. 
*VEINCA (Periwinkle—or 
Creeping Myrtle) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers 
making a thick trailing growth in two 
years. Blooms quite freely in early Spring 
and occasionally through the Summer. 
*Bowles Variety—A great improvement 
over any form of Vincas grown up to this 
time. The foliage is broader and a bril- 
liant green. Plant is a strong grower and 
a very profuse bloomer. Flowers larger, 
of a deep lavender blue shade. 
WUCCA (Adams Needle) 
}Filamentosa—Ornamental foliage and 
flowering plants. Makes a splendid foil 
for the delightfully fragrant spikes of 
creamy white flowers produced during 
June and July. 5 to 6 feet tall.
