CERATOSTIGMA (Plumbago) —Cobalt Ground Cover 
*plumbaginoides Each 55c, three $1.50, six $2.75, twelve $5.00 
For masses of low color and as a ground cover there is no substitute 
for Leadwort. Its peacock blue flowers in clusters appear by the 
hundreds in late summer and fall and its heavy textured leaves put 
on a show of their own in brilliant red dress. Will thrive and spread 
in poor soils in either sun or light shade and is very hardy. Plants 
reach 8 inches; space 10 to 12 inches. 
CIMICIFUGA—A Fountain of Plumy Bloom 
simplex (see page 4) Each 85c, three $2.15, six $3.75 
Here is the solution to that problem of something ‘‘different’’ for 
autumn bloom. This improved Snakeroot begins to flower in late 
summer and reaches full perfection in mid-fall. The tiny pearl- 
like buds are strung closely on the thin, wiry stems and open into 
thousands of fluffy, creamy-white balls. The divided, shining leaves 
are especially decorative and the gracefully arching stems attain 
4 feet. Ideally suited for cutting because the feathery plumes are 
so artistic and last so long in arrangements. Hardy as an Oak; 
plant in the shade in rich soil that is moist; space about 18 in.

*Blue Mirror Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
The large, spurless flowers are a deep shade of intensely luminous 
blue that Delphinums, Gentians, and only a few other flowers 
achieve. The open, branching stalks, 18 to 24 inches tall, rise from 
a clump of much-cut, almost fern-like leaves. The gorgeous blooms 
are at their peak from late spring to mid-summer The small, fleshy 
roots should be planted 10 inches apart in a light to average soil 
with good drainage. Groups of three or more in your sunny rock 
garden or border will ‘’steal the show’’. Easy!

under richer, moister conditions. Space pips 5 inches; one of the 
finest, hardiest ground covers for dense shade.

DIANTHUS WHITE RESERVE Has Captivating Fragrance 

DIANTHUS—The Spicy-Fragrant Garden Pinks 
Popular, indispensable, cheerful plants valued for their clove-scented 
fragrance, winsome beauty, and easy culture. Their narrow, ever- 
green foliage is attractive at all times and makes them particularly 
valuable for edgings. They are noted for their lusty freedom of 
bloom, making solid mounds of gay color from mid-spring through 
early summer. They make A-1 rock garden and wall plants and 
should be in every garden. The Pinks need a sunny, well-drained 
location and an ordinary soil that is neutral or limy. They will tol- 
erate considerable dryness when established. Set the smaller types 
about 6 inches apart and the larger, 8 to 10 inches. For appearance 
sake remove the dead bloom stalks. It goes almost without saying 
the Pinks take a premier place among cut flowers. 
*Little Joe Each 65c, three $1.60, six $3.00 
Originated here and universally regarded as one of the finest rock 
garden and wall plants. The silver-green, 4 inch tufts provide the

soms. The dozens of large, flat blooms are carried perkily upright. 
From time to time remove the faded flowers and you will have virtu- 
ally continuous bloom. An easy, hardy gem! 
*neglectus Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75

pink blooms an inch across. The flowers have a charming, unusual 
buff reverse. Give a gritty, open soil in the rock garden. 
*Pink Lady Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
Much more refined in color and habit of growth than many Garden 
Pinks. The compact, silvery green mats erupt in late spring with 
great quantities of perfect, double, pink blooms on thin but sturdy 
stems. A superior variety for edging and cutting. 10 in. 
“White Reserve Each 65c, three $1.60, six $3.00
