OUTSTANDING 
Since it is desirable to have descriptions near pictures 
on alternate color pages we cannot maintain alphabetical 
order or get all items in proper place. A lot of new offerings 
appear through the pages, more are on page 12 and on the 
colored insert between pages 24 and 25. On this page are some 
very fine and outstanding flowers.

EDGING PLANTS ADD REFINEMENT TO ANY GARDEN. 
Straggly margins on beds and borders give your garden 
an unfinished look no matter how well grown the plants. 
Edgings of plants neat in foliage through the year either 
in variety or a succession of nice things gives your 
garden finish and refinement. 
I have found excellent for edgings, Achillaea on this 
page, Aubrietia, upright Thymes, Aethionema, Campa- 
nula garganica varieties, low Dianthus, Satureia pyg- 
maea, Lavender Dwarf Munstead, Bellium minutum, 
Corydalis lutea in shade, Silene Schaftii. 

Trillium Ovatum (See page 11) 
*WEST AMERICAN SEDUMS. Not rampant, they 
make compact little colonies which are fine for 
years. Natives of cool slopes in light to moderate 
shade. They like a sandy or gritty soil rich in 
humus. A delight as pot subjects.

eae ruddy leaves. Nice. Each 30 cts.; 3 for 
5 cts. 
Purdyii. The gem of all with densely crowded rosettes 
which throw out little red threads on which are 
the tiny new plants. Each 30 cts.; 3 for 75 cts.

green often richly bronze tinted in winter while in

Dodecatheons are among our earliest flowers.
