OME of the interesting items on this page are not necessarily new but are 
the result of searching far and wide for the unusual types that we feel it is our duty 
to reinstate for the pleasure of all true gardening enthusiasts. Others are new or 
recently introduced both here and abroad. You who have already grown many of the 
more common types will get a big thrill when trying at least a few of these specialties 
that we feel may still be new to your garden.

CIMICIFUGA .- Snakeroot 
Must be planted in a shady, moist location 
where it will attain its full beauty and remain 
permanent. 
Racemosa simplex, White Pearl. A _ great 
improvement on the older Cimicifuga. The 
buds appear as little white pearls opening 
into fluffy white balls. The long terminal 
racemes reach a height of about 3 feet. It is 
one of the very few herbaceous plants to con- 
tinue to bloom a month or so after the first 
hard frosts. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
CYCLAMEN neapolitanum. A rare bulbous 
plant for the rockery or shaded wild garden. 
Flowers freely produced in late summer; 
delicately scented. Deep rose. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
CYCLAMEN europezum. Same growth as 
C. neapolitanum, but blooms earlier. Bright 
red. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
DIANTHUS, Pink Princess. A fine new seed- 
ling worthy of being called a garden gem. A 
true hardy type, flowering continually from 
early summer until late frost. Its spicy fra- 
grance makes it comparable to the finest 
greenhouse Carnations. May to Nov. 75 cts. 
each; 3 for $2.00. 
ECHINOPS humilis, Taplow Blue. Globe 
Thistle. A very showy, tall-growing plant 
having globular heads of soft metallic blue 
flowers. Fine for cutting and drying for winter 
bouquets. Plant in part shade or sun at the 
back of the border. 2% to 3 ft. July, Aug. 
3 for $2.00; 10 for $6.50. 
FUCHSIA, Tom Thumb. Ladies Eardrops. 
This is a new development from the old and 
well-known Fuchsia. The taller-growing va- 
riety Magellenica has not been found very 
hardy in temperate climates, but we believe 
you will find the dwarf-growing Tom Thumb 
quite hardy with a little winter protection. 
With us it grows to about 8 to 9 inches and ts 
literally covered all summer and early fall 
with the carmine and lavender eardrop flowers. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
HELLEBORUS atrorubens. A very new im- 
portation from abroad. Foliage, plant habit 
and extreme hardiness are same as the better- 
known white Helleborus (Christmas Rose). 
The blooms are a most unusual shade of purple. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $7.00. (See page 33 for more 
about Helleborus culture.) 
HEUCHERA, Red Pimpernel. A scarce, out- 
standing variety having very bright scarlet 
flowers. June to Sept. 1 to 114% ft. 75 cts. 
each; 3 for $2.00.

known but little-distributed plant. Prostrate 
evergreen foliage; vivid sky-blue flowers. 3 in.

PHLOX Arendsi. Please refer to page 35. for 
four most interesting varieties that are hybrids 
between Phlox canadensis and P. decussata.

very distinctly colored Pyrethrum exactly as 
the name describes it. Unique and different 
in the Pyrethrum or Painted Daisy group. A 
very easy grower and quite winter hardy. 
Blooms during May and June and attains a 
height of about 2 feet. Excellent for cutting. 
75 cts. each; 3 for $2.00.
