Veronica - Speedwell 
We cannot imagine a garden or a well kept rock garden without just 
quantities of Veronicas. No matter what may be introduced in novel plants, 
no matter how fine the garden or border in which they are to grow, this 
garden would not be complete without such plants as Veronica Longifolia 
Subsessilis. From July to September it is one of the highlights. The color 
created by Royal Blue in June is outstanding. Spicata Rubra with its pink- 
ish lavender blooms and silvery gray foliage is a lovely plant anywhere. 
Culture. Good, ordinary soil will suffice for all the following kinds. 
Grow the dwarf sorts in masses on the margins of sunny borders or rock 
gardens, and the others in colonies in positions according to their height. 
Plant in autumn or spring, 6 to 8 inches apart.

Blue Peter Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $35.00 
A recent novelty from England and without doubt the best of the 
early summer-flowering Veronicas. The flower spikes are of deepest 
navy blue on stiff stems about 15 to 18 inches tall. This variety 
will replace Blue Spires as soon as it is better known because of its 
better color and far superior habit of growth and _ floriferousness. 
A_ heavy bloomer and of easy culture. A ‘‘must’” for your garden. 
(Blue Peter is the name given the blue flag displayed by ships ready 
to leave port.) 
Blue Spires Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $35.00 
Far superior to the well-known Spicata. Growing two feet high, its lovely 
deep blue spikes show up well in the hardy border. The foliage is clean 
and plant is of bushy upright habit and flowers throughout the early 
summer. A fine new introduction of real merit, and a plant which does 
withstand hot and dry weather without suffering. Altogether a very 
worth-while border plant.
