Magellanica has proven hardy as far 
north as New York, freezing back to the 
ground and springing up again to bloom

EXQUISITE FALL FLOWERS 
Easily Grown 
Anemone Japonica should be massed 
in your perennial borders whether part 
shade or sun. 
Plants grow fast if supplied with suffi- 
cient moisture during dry months. All 
the varieties bloom profusely from Sep- 
tember into November and are excellent 
for cutting... We have imported ‘several 
new ones this year. An especially beautiful 
variety is Anemone Alba. Single white 
blossoms similar to dogwood blooms. 
Plant grows from 3 to 4 ft. high. A well- 
established clump of this is surely a mag- 
nificent sight and has no equal among fall 
flowers. If at first you do not succeed 
with Anemones, don’t give up, try again. 
They reward your effort and once you 
have a well-established plant, it will grace 
your garden for years and years. Keep in

mind that they like a rather moist soil and 
are especially beautiful and successful in 
part shade near shrubs. 
CONSIDER THE LILIES 
To our Lily list we have added Lilium — 
Centifoliwm. Here is one that cannot be 
hidden in your garden. Its flowers, white 
on the inside, outside colors shading pink 
to purple, are carried on stems 5 to 7 
foot tall. Even easier to grow than the 
Regal Lily. Blooms during July and 
August. Plant in partial shade, well 
drained soil, about 5” deep. Very hardy! 
ROSES WITHOUT ROSE BEDS 
Here is an idea that is worth consider- 
ing for your perennial border. Try Flori- 
bunda roses to insure constant summer 
bloom. Floribunda roses are characteris- 
We think 
they will be right at home planted here 
tically floriferous and neat. 
and there among your perennials. This 
type of rose seldom gets over two feet 
tall, never crowds either above or below 
the ground. 
You will probably want to start with 
Fashion, but be sure to look over the 
complete list of Floribunda roses in this 
list. 
PHLOX DIVARICATA 
Wonderful Perennial Ground Cover 
To solve the question of a perennial 
ground cover in your Spring-flowering 
bulb beds, try Phlox Divaricata. Not to 
be confused with the original small-leaved 
strain, this new Phlox Divaricata has 
proven hardy through hot summer or cold 
winter, provided its location is fairly well
