TROLLIUS BARRS GIANTS ... Largest of All 
TROLLIUS—Globe Flower . . . Giant Goblets of Gold 
If you do not have these sumptuous Globe Flowers in your shaded 
border or woodland garden or planted by your pool, you are missing 
a ‘‘good bet’’. The large, elegant cups or globes are as richly colored 
as the best creamery butter and the finest tree-ripened oranges. 
The colors are so delicious, one can almost taste them! The hand- 
somely cut, verdant green foliage is shiny and smooth-textured, re- 
maining in good condition all season. The imposing blooms are 
carried on strong, 3 foot stems from mid-spring through early 
summer. They make ‘’extra-special’’ cut flowers and last long in ar- 
rangements. Give Trollius a well-worked, deep soil containing 
abundant humus and supply water throughout the dry season. Set 
plants 10 inches apart in groups for a lavish display. 
Barrs Giants Each 75c, three $1.90, six $3.50 
A glorious new strain from England with the largest globes of all 
and a superb range of colors from cleanest Buttercup yellow to glow- 
ing orange gold. A first-rate perennial by any standard! 
Golden Queen (Ledebouri var.) Each 65c, three $1.60, six $3.00 
Especially valuable because it blooms in the summer and early fall 
and makes such a wonderful showing after most of the other shade 
plants have finished. The large, cup-shaped blooms are pure molten 
orange and have an extravagant tuft of gorgeous stamens.

TUNICA—Blooms All Summer in Your Rock Garden 
*Saxifraga fl.-pl. Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
The Coat Flower is one of those absolutely essential plants for rock 
gardens and walls because it blooms so reliably and profusely dur- 
ing the summer ‘‘problem period’’. It has in miniature the same 
airy charm as Babysbreath, to which it is closely related. The clouds 
of fully double, sprightly rose pink flowers will enliven your garden 
for weeks and weeks. The plants are tufted and have a minimum 
of foliage and a maximum of flowers. They are as permanent as a 
rock in any ordinary, well-drained, sunny soil. The plants in bloom 
reach 8 to 10 inches; space them 6 inches.

Accents in Royal Blue. . 
VERONICA—Luminous Spires of Blue 
The Veronicas give us some of our showiest blue flowers for both 
perennial borders and rock gardens. It would be a difficult task to 
plant an entirely satisfactory garden without them. The happy, 
hardy plants bubble over with flowing fountains of gorgeous blue 
in summer. These luminous spires possess a forceful intensity and 
glowing depth of color rarely equaled by other plants. Fortunately 
these beauties are so simple to grow almost everyone can have a 
splendid planting. Give them a sunny spot with good, open soil and 
average moisture. Space the dwarf kinds 6 inches and the others 
12 inches. Cut back faded flowers for ‘bonus’’ blooms later. 
Blue Spire Each 6Oc, three $1.50, six $2.75 
A modern variety of real merit making a bushy, upright plant 21/2 
feet high. A profusion of rich, dark blue spikes cover the plants 
in early and mid-summer. Unusually clean, attractive foliage con- 
tributes to the stunning effect in the border. 
*Crater Lake Blue Each 65c, three $1.60, six $3.00 
Originated here and since its introduction a few years ago this 
exceptional variety has been widely acclaimed as one of the largest 
flowered and most intensely colored of all the dozens of Veronicas 
listed. The compact mound of lush green foliage disappears in 
late spring and early summer under a shimmering pool of breath- 
taking blue reminiscent of Oregon's famous Crater Lake. The plants 
are of medium height, 15 to 20 inches, and make a festive display 
in the large rock garden or front of the border. 
*Silver ‘n Blue (incana nana) Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
One of the prettiest and easiest rock plants in our collection. From 
the low, tidy mats of frosty, silvery leaves pop up quantities of sur- 
prising, deep sky blue flowers in late spring and early summer. The 
plants are attractive the year ‘round. 8 in. high.

Late Blooming TROLLIUS GOLDEN QUEEN 
maritima subsessilis Each 70c, three $1.75, six $3.25 
A noble plant with clean, crinkly, emerald green leaves and long 
spires of royal blue produced with unbounded enthusiasm from mid- 
summer onwards. The broad, bushy plants resplendent in their lus- 
trous foliage and bedecked with their elegant blooms is a memorable 
picture . . . the kind you want in your garden. Do not overlook this 
variety as a cut flower. Perfectly hardy and increases in size and 
beauty yearly; rated among the top ten perennials! Height 2 to 3 ft.

XEROPHYLLUM—Squaw Grass . . . Striking 
tenax (spring delivery only) Each $1.00, three $2.50, six $4.50 
Not a plant for timid, conservative gardeners because it requires 
imagination, skill, and patience to grow. It is well worth all the 
effort, though, because the great clubbed plumes of creamy white 
flowers rising on 3 foot stems are a never-to-be-forgotten thrill. 
One would not expect such spectacular blooms from the clumps 
of tough, grass-like foliage. Give a cool, sunny or lightly shaded 
position with an open soil containing grit or rock chips and leaf- 
mold. Space 8 inches and do not disturb. 
ZAUSCHNERIA—Scarlet Humming-Bird Fuchsia 
*californica (fall delivery) Each 65c, three $1.60, six $3.00 
Can you take your color pure and undiluted? Do you want your wall, 
rock garden, and border to blaze with flamboyant, flashing scarlet 
in late summer and through the autumn? This is the one and only 
dwarf plant that we know will make your fall garden glow with the 
same masses of warm color you enjoy so much earlier in the season. 
The Humming-bird Fuchsia is a hardy wildling here in the West and 
in the garden it is well-behaved and easy to manage. The trailing 
plants grow a foot high and at least twice as much across. They 
need only poor to ordinary soil that is well-drained and a warm, 
sunny spot. Once established, they will tolerate extreme heat and 
drought. Space 10 inches apart in groups for a dashing display.
