unique color and entirely distinct. Growing about 3 feet high,

scarlet blooms with large purplish blotch at the base of the

Poppies.

true double salmon-orange Poppy with individual flowers 6 
to 8 inches across. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
PENTSTEMON (The Beard Tongue) 
Few Perennials offer the graceful showing in a garden that 
Pentstemons do. The small tubular flowers like miniature 
foxgloves in shape, grow on long spikes and flower from 
June until August. Most effective. 
+*Firebird—The flowers are foxglove-like, on stems about 18 
to 24 inches tall, and are fiery crimson overlaid with an 
orange sheen. The plant is easily grown, is free from insect 
pests, flowers freely, creates a brilliant effect in the flower 
garden, and is a cut flower par excellence. This plant is 
quite similar in growth to Pentstemon Garnet, flowering just 
as freely and is more hardy. Price: 60c each, $5.00 per 
dozen. 
+*Garnet—*“Garnet” is of spreading habit and produces a suc- 
cession of bloom from June until frost. Flowers of rich gar- 
net color, gracefully placed on stems 12 to 18 inches tall. 
The plants have from six to a dozen spikes continually in 
flower. Excellent for cutting and last a week or more in 
water. 
Rose Elf—An extremely hardy, compact, low-growing Pentste- 
mon seldom exceeding a height of 18 inches. Large, rose 
colored flowers produced in great profusion, with shiny 
evergreen foliage. Beautiful in the border and useful as a 
cut flower. This new variety of the Barbatus type is not to 
be confused with the less hardy but we think it is just as 
effective. Price 75¢ per plant, $7.50 per dozen. 
PHYSOSTEGIA (False Dragonhead) 
+*Vivid—A new dwarf growing variety, that attains a height of 
18-22 inches, and is a marvelous improvement on any 
previous variety introduced. It is much deeper in color and 
has larger individual flowers. A splendid cut-flower. August 
blooming.
