Brightness 
Blooms July to August 
Brightness, the new Lythrum, is a pene- 
trating clear rose-pink, much brighter 
than the great favorite Morden Pink. 
Hardy Old-Fashioned Lavender for you! 
Lavenders have been much sought after by northern gardeners 
tor many years, but it was not until we found the Hidcote variety 
that we felt we had one hardy enough to withstand our climate. 
The fragrant, silvery green foliage is very ornamental and 
grows about 15 in. high, while the violet-blue flowering spikes 
rise another 15 in. The flowers appear from early July till 
autumn. They are airy and fragrant when cut, and when dried 
are used for making rich and sentimental sachets or placing in 
linen drawers, etc. An interesting and delightful plant, which 
should be in every garden for its fragrance and its decorative 
value. For years we have tried to carry the old garden Laven- 
der from year to year. It always grew rank and stringy the first 
summer, then froze out that winter. Hidcote Blue, however, is a 
compact plant with dark blue blooms and is perfectly hardy 
here at Newark. 91 99 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.00 
It grows about 30 to 34 
in., in a compact form, 
almost moundlike, and 
fits well in the middle 
border. The 10 to 12-in. 
flowering spikes are 
densely hlled and last a 
long while. The bloom- 
ing time is fromearly July 
to early August, usually 
a period of little color 
in the border. 
The dense foliage is a 
good dark green and it 
stays until frost. The 
leaves come up to the 
flower-spike, leaving no 
unsightly bare stem. 
Lythrum, Brightness does 
well in any good garden 
soil and will thrive in 
either moist or dry lo- 
cations. Since it blooms 
a little later and is not 
so tall, it may be used 
nicely with Morden Pink 
or The Beacon. 
For their sharp mass of 
color in July and August, 
Lythrums have become 
favorites in many gardens. 
Brightness, a European 
newcomer, is just enough 
lower to find its way into 
small garden areas. The 
color, too, is clearer and 
very pleasing.

Liatris 
Aug. to Sept. 30 in. 
& 
WHITE LIATRIS (Gayfeather) (Above) 
(Liatris pycnostachya alba) 
Blooms August 15 to September 15 
A white form of Liatris with pyramidal plumes rising 
30 in. into the air. The long narrow foliage forms a tuft 
near the ground and is arranged part way up the stem. 
The flowering spikes, 25 to 30 of them on a two-year 
plant, start to bloom at the top and work down. The 
colored Liatris are great favorites for floral arrange- 
ments, and this white will lend itself very gracefully 
for height and color. 
Easy to grow, White Liatris thrives in sun or semi- 
shade and in moist or dry locations and is welcome in 
all gardens. 
For those who desire pyramidal, upright lines, whether 
in garden borders or in flower arrangements, this white 
Gayfeather is the ideal plant. The original plants came 
from New England, where the white form was found in 
a large group of the red-flowered plants. It is much 
prized there.
