every way. Blooms in June and is about 2 feet high. Suitable for 
the hardy border or wild garden and not at all particular as to soil 
requirements. 
BEGONIA (Hardy) 
Evansiana—This is an ideal hardy bulb for planting in a woodland 
or ground cover. If you have a shady place in the woods or under 
shrubs which in early spring are gay with Virginia Blue Bells, Tril- 
lium, Grape Hyacinths and Bloodroot they frequently present a sore 
sight in summer and fall when the foliage has disappeared. Begonia 
Evansiana can be planted in any of these locations where some kind 
of cover is required and | am sure you will be delighted with the 
results they give you. It grows and blooms where nothing else will 
and is excellent for naturalistic plantings. 
BOLTONIA (False-camomile) 
tAsteroides—Flower heads pure white; flowering at the same time 
as the popular Michaelmas Daisies. 5 to 6 feet. 
tlatisquama—Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above. § feet. 
BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush) 
(Illustrated on page 30) 
Buddleias make ideal planting where privacy is desired during the 
summer months because they are very showy in their flowering sea- 
son which is very long and are nice tall, compact growing subjects 
with little, if any, disease affecting them. 
tEmpire Blue (Patent 557)—A distinct new variety of deep blue with 
delicate lilac overtones. One of the best ever introduced. Price: 
75c¢ each, $7.50 per dozen. 
tDubonnet—Color is an exact counterpart of the popular French 
Wine Dubonnet. The firm cylindrical spikes are snugly set with indi- 
vidual flowers of good size that do not sunburn. The plant is of 
robust erect growth with strong stems; the leaves are large and of 
firm leathery texture. A good late Summer cut-flower. 
tFascinating (Patented/—Long, graceful, open blooms of Cattleyea- 
pink produced in quantity throughout the summer and fall. The indi- 
vidual flowers are about 15 inches long and this color used in con- 
nection with the deep purple and white varieties is outstanding in its 
value as a garden plant. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
tFlaming Violet (Patent 519)—The finest and most brilliant of all 
Buddleias. Immense spikes of flaming Violet or imperial purple, in- 
tensely brilliant and sparkling with a fiery glow rarely seen in 
flowers. Flower trusses are unusually large, measuring 12 to 15 inches 
long. Individual flowers are spaced closely and open practically all 
at the same time. The plant is vigorous, strong, and upright in growth. 
Flowers throughout the Summer and Autumn. Price: $1.00 each, 
$10.00 per dozen. 
tFortune—Color, pure lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each tiny 
flower, thousands of which make up their sprays, which are 12 to 18 
inches long. Very neat growing habits, four feet high, four feet across 
with dark leathery green foliage. A very showy garden plant and a 
very fine cut flower subject. Price: $1.00 each, $7.50 per dozen.

shrub with ball-like flowers strangely combining gold and mauve. 
Blooms in early summer, and again in the fall, if cut back. Price: 
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
tPeace (Plant Patent Applied For—A pure white Buddleia and one 
that is as hardy as any of the other varieties we offer. The graceful 
and slightly arching flowers are well formed, full and 12 to 16 inches 
long, produced in abundance throughout summer and autumn until 
stopped by frost. The plants are rugged and grow about 6 feet tall, 
have fine foliage, grow rapidly and require no more care than any 
other kind. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
tPurple Prince—(Plant Patent Applied For)—The immense broad spikes 
which resemble Lilacs are a rich, iridescent imperial purple which 
sparkles in sunlight. A brilliant golden-orange eye in each tiny 
flower gives added charm and interest to this outstanding variety. 
The shape and size of the flower spikes of the new Buddleia ‘'Purple 
Prince’’ are unusual and put this variety in a class by itself. The 
base of the flower spike is at least twice as wide as that of other 
varieties giving a very massive effect. These big flowers are produced 
in unlimited quantities throughout the summer and autumn on hand- 
some, rugged but not too tall plants. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 
per dozen. 
tRoyal Red—As a Hardy plant for cut flower purposes in the Summer

$7.50 per dozen.

taining a height of over three feet, and about the same in diameter.

continues to do so until October. Fits perfectly into the Perennial 
Border or in front of taller shrubs providing a spot of cool color 
in the garden. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
CAMPANULAS (Canterbury-bells or Bellflower) 
These lovely flowers have a great variety of color and form and the 
taller varieties are useful for cut-flowers as well as in the hardy 
border. 
*Garganica—A very choice gem for the Rock Garden. It is very 
hardy, blooms late June; is a heavenly blue, and has trailing 
habits of growth, but at the same time is neat. The foliage is almost 
as distinctive and attractive as the flower; 3 to 6 inches high. 
tMedium—Bienniel type. Same bell shaped flower growth as the 
Calycanthema except they do not have the saucer effect and are, 
therefore, known as the Singles.
