LYTHRUM THRIVES IN 
POOR CONDITION 
‘Those of you that have what you con- 
sider IMPOSSIBLE GARDENING 
CONDITIONS should try the strain of 
Loosestrife or Lythrum, known as Mor- 
den’s Pink. ‘This very hardy perennial 
seems qualified to adopt itself to any and 
all conditions, and along with it, is one 
of our most attractive ever-blooming per- 
ennials. Grows 3 to 4 foot tall in sun 
or shade, dry or wet soil, and bears nu- 
merous spikes of pink florets all through 
the summer. Excellent for cut flowers. 
ASTER FRIKARTI ONE OF 
THE FINEST 
A very nice blue or lavender-blue 
flower that does nicely in this area is 
Aster Frikartt. Very easily grown in or- 
dinary garden soil, it makes an excellent 
show in either full sun or part shade. The 
flowers are single, 2 to 21% inches across, 
and the plants grow about 2 to 21% feet 
tall. Blooms profusely all summer long. 
We consider this one of the finest and 
most reliable perennials for any garden, 
HYPERION ANYWHERE 
One of the perennials that will grow 
almost any place, and can be transplanted 
any time 1s Hemerocallis, variety Hyper- 
ion. It will not bloom all summer, but 
does its producing during July and part 
of August. Many light yellow flowers are 
carried on erect 3 ft. stems. Hyperion’s 
foliage is desirable for its graceful arching 
effect. Extraordinarily vigorous and eas- 
ily grown. Very fine as a cut flower, and 
remember, it is a member of the “‘wet or 
dry soil, sun or shade location”? class. 
ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR INSECTS 
AND DISEASES... 
Very often the difference between a 
garden that blooms only in the Spring and 
one that blooms from Spring ’til Fall is a 
spraying or dusting program. A search 
for insects and fungous diseases should be 
made at least once a week, and control 
measures taken.
