Ht ypexicums 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. 
Their brilliant flowers are beautifully formed and grow on slender 
branches from early summer until stopped by frost. Excellent subjects 
for the flower border or in the foreground of taller shrubs, as well as 
for ground covering. 
Calycinum Each $1.00, Three.$2.75, Doz. $8.50, 100 $60.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as a 
ground cover for both sunny and semi-shady places. The under- 
ground runners are produced so freely as to completely cover the 
ground; at the tops the golden yellow flowers shine like jewels. Its 
height is about 12 to 18 inches. We recommend this as one of the 
best and hardiest. 
Fk ypericum, Sungold Patent No. 568) 
A hardy, shapely, dwarf shrub which grows into an almost completely 
oval shape of 21 to 3 feet in diameter, and about 18 to 24 inches in 
height, densely covered with foliage that is handsome throughout the 
summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers at the end of every shoot 
of the summer’s new growth. It flowers more freely and much longer 
than any of the Hypericum Patulum now in general use. Its flowers 
are bigger and produced in immense quantities, transforming this lovely 
plant into a small mound of gold when in full bloom. 
Of particular interest and value is its exceptional hardiness. In our 
nursery tests over five years it has proven its ability to withstand cold 
weather as well as outgrow and outbloom any Hypericum we have ever 
seen. 
The average size of bloom is from 21 to 3 inches in diameter.
