New! From England—HELIANTHEMUM SNOWBALL 

HELIANTHEMUM—Sun Roses for Sunset Colors 
From Bellingham in the north to San Diego in the south Sun Roses 
are ‘‘tops’’ amongst dwarf shrubs for extravagant displays of vibrant 
colors. All through late spring and early summer they blaze in 
multi-colored splendor . . . white, pink, apricot, yellow, orange, 
crimson, scarlet and infinite shades between. The plants are low 
and spreading and the small, semi-evergreen leaves are in perfect 
proportion. Sun Roses are noted for their reliability and easy cul- 
ture. Any warm, sunny spot with ordinary soil will do. Because they 
are so agreeable, they make splendid ground covers. Space 10 inches 
apart in groups of three or more; shear lightly after flowering to 
encourage extra blooming. Mulch in zero climates.

PENSTEMON—Top-Notch Native Rock Plants 
The shrubby, evergreen Penstemons festoon the cliffs, rock out- 
crops, and stony slopes of our western mountains with drifts of 
glorious blooms. The flowers are two-lipped, tubular, and brightly 
colored and are produced in astonishing quantities from late spring 
to mid-summer. Both here and abroad Penstemons are highly valued 
for use in rock gardens and walls. They are hardy and simple to grow 
in gritty, not-too-rich soil that has excellent drainage. Give them 
full sun and do not overwater when established. Plant 8 to 10 
inches apart; shear rather heavily after they finish blooming. Very 
hardy but cover lightly in zero climates to protect the evergreen 
foliage from wind burn.

shrubby, ‘’eversilver’’ perennial has unusually handsome, pungently 
aromatic, cut leaves and is valuable for its glistening, contrasting 
color in mixed shrub plantings or large rock gardens. The yellow 
flowers come in roundish heads in summer. Hardy and indestruc- 
tible in any soil that is not too wet; will tolerate severe drought 
once established. Lavender Cotton is 11/2 feet high and twice as 
much across; space 18 inches; shear heavily if needed. A striking 
and very durable bank cover for difficult spots.

Enjoy Smorgasbord? You have probably eaten the tasty preserves 
made from these berries. This elegant, dwarf, evergreen shrub has 
pretty pink and white bells which are followed by large, brilliant

tered thereafter until fall. Often, as in the illustration, there are 
flowers and fruits at the same time. The plants are a foot high and 
the glossy foliage colors well in autumn and winter. Give a rich, 
peaty soil with ample moisture and light shade or a cool spot in the 
sun. Space 8 inches. Exceptional!
