Nierembergia 
NIEREMBERGIA 
Five hundred individual cup shaped blue flowers are 
not at all unusual for this plant to produce in a single 
season. It is probably the most dependable low border 
plant for an endless succession of bloom. It grows less 
than a foot high but bushes out to the size of a half 
bushel basket. The plant is perennial but ts not hardy 
in the north. Pkt., 25c. Plants shipped in spring only.

- HARDY ORCHID 
The Lady Slipper or Cypripedium is a popular mem- 
ber of the Orchid family, in fact so popular that it has 
become almost extinct in its native haunts. The beauti- 
ful yet curious flowers are produced on 12 inch stems 
in early summer. They are best suited to a shaded loca- 
tion with ample moisture. They are especially suited 
for planting around pools in the shade of overhanging 
trees. We can furnish plants in the following colors: 
PINK, YELLOW, at 45c each; 3 for $1.15; 12 for $3.60, 
postpaid.

PHLOX 
Because of the bright showy colors and their 
long blooming period the hardy Phlox are counted 
among the most highly prized perennials. Enor- 
mous heads of brilliant flowers produced on 
strong erect stems. Indispensable to the hardy 
border and for general landscape work; also a

All 6 Only $2.25 Prepaid 
CAROLINE VANDENBERG. Considered by 
many growers to be the best of the so-called 
‘blue’ phlox. The color is clear lavender-blue 
and the large flowers are produced in broad 
heads. 
DAILY SKETCH. Enormous flowers in beauti- 
ful trusses. A fine pink with a bright, carmine 
eye. This variety does not fade and blooms in- 
termittently until frost. Much has been written 
about this Phlox, 
FLASH. One of the best new reds. The color 
is brilliant scarlet with an orange cast. Large 
heads on tall stems. 
FREE NETHERLANDS. This fine variety came 
to us just a few weeks before the invasion of 
Holland, under the name of Frau Von Mautner. 
Large branched panicles of salmon orange fiow- 
ers. Cannot be too highly recommended. 
MARY LOUISE. No larger flower has ever been 
produced on any Phlox. The flowers are pure 
white without shadings of any description. They 
are so large that when we placed a silver dollar 
on the florets of one-year-old plants we found 
the silver dise wanting in size. The flower edges 
actually overlapped the metal coin. 
PINK CHARM. Bright clear pink with a 
darker sheen. Large florets in huge heads. Vig- 
orous grower and very free flowering. 
LEMON 
= LILY 
Hyperion 
This is one of the 
new hybrid forms of 
Hemerocallis or Lem- 
on Lily. It is the 
finest of recent intro- 
ductions, delightful- 
ly fragrant and an 
ideal cut flower, the 
buds opening well in 
water. The flowers 
are a fine citron-yellow and pro- 
duced in great numbers on stout 
40 inch stems. Thrives in moist 
ground around pools and along streams and seems to do equally 
well in poor soil and on hot dry banks. Does well in full sunlight 
or partial shade. 
It is rapidly gaining in popularity and we are able, this 
year, to offer it at 75c each; 3 for $1.90; 12 for $6.00, postpaid. 
Creeping 
PHLOX 
Moss-like evergreen mats of 
foliage completely covered with 
flowers in very early spring. 
They withstand drought and 
will grow on the poorest soil. 
An ideal plant for the rockery, 
border, terrace or bank. Your 
choice of Blue, Pink, Red or 
White at 45c each; 
$1.60) ; (12 for $4.00), post- 
When first introduced, this variety sold at $2.50 
Giant 
SCABIOSA 
GIANT HYBRIDS. One of the 
most beautiful hardy perennials. 
A wonderful improvement over 
other varieties of Scabiosa. 
Long-stemmed giant ruffled flow- 
ers from August until frost. Val- 
uable for cutting. A fine mix- 
ture of all pastel shades of blue 
and lavender. (Pkt. 20c¢); “46 
oz., 50c), % oz. 85c.) 
(4 for 


ROYAL PURPLE. The color is so deep that 
only a royal purple can approach it in descrip- 
tion. It is a rich, warm shade of reddish-purple, 
such as artists portray on the robes of royalty. 
An excellent variety that is aptly named. 
SALMON BEAUTY. A really unusual and in- 
teresting color combination. The large flowers 
are deep salmon pink, but instead of having a 
“ring” or “eye,” the center is made up of two 
pure white “beams” covering a third of each 
floret, gradually blending into the outer area of 
salmon-pink. A beautiful sight.
