Outstanding Perennials for 1951 
On this page is a list of Perennials that we believe should be in every garden. 
Some are new, some are rare, all are outstanding. We suggest that you order some to 
fill in the spaces in your garden,to replace unattractive varieties, or as a pleasing part 
of your new garden. 
Border Gem Thyme. Thymus vulgaris var. 
One of our own introductions that has proved to be one of the best ground covers, es- 
pecially on bankings. Good, too for edgings or the rock garden. Deep green, fragrant 
evergreen foliage. 
Dwarf Coreopsis, Coreopsis verticillata nana. 
Tiny bright orange flowers springing from low green tufts of leaves. 
Emerald Cushion Creeping Phlox. 
Rich green foliage that remains attractive throughout the Summer. Two varieties, 
blue and pink. 
Golden Star, Chrysogonum virginianum. 
Rich green mounds studded with golden stars. Fine for edgings or rock gardens. 
Loddon Gold Helianthus. 
Large, fully double Dahlia-like orange flowers on stiff stems. One of the best cut 
flowers. Unsurpassed for a bright mass of late-season color. 
Mordens Pink Lythrum. 
Long spikes of clear pink make a bright display for many weeks at a season when 
color is often lacking in the Perennial garden. 
Rose Elf, Pentstemon. 
An improvement on older varieties, shorter, sturdier and more compact. Clear, bright 
pink flowers. 
Sammy. Hardy Carnation, Dianthus. 
Gray-green pincushions, tiny double rose-pink Carnations. 
Shell Pink Balloonflower—Platycodon. 
A new color in this popular perennial. 
Silver Mound. Artemisia schmidtiana nana. 
Soft, feathery gray mounds for edgings or rock gardens. Recently featured in Garden 
Club exhibits at Boston Spring Flower Show.
