LAVANDULA (Sweet Lavender) 
Vera. We think of lavender primarily for its 
fragrance and the use of the dried flowers for 
scenting linens. Actually it is a perfect little 
half-woody plant which, because of its gray 
green foliage, is most effective at the front of 
shrub or perennial plantings. A light shearing 
each spring keeps the plants compact and en- 
courages more bloom. Frankly, we think a gar- 
den is not complete without a few plants of 
sweet lavender. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00. 
LUPINS 
Russell Hybrids Mixed. There is nothing more 
beautiful than these tall spires of soft colors 
ranging from pinks to reds, buff to bronze, blue 
to purple with many bicolors. They grow four 
to five feet high and bloom in June. 
60c each; 3 for $1.50 Doz. $5.30. 
For Lupin seed, see page 53. 
LYTHRUM (Loosestrife) 
Morden’s Pink. Tall spires of clear warm rosy 
pink put the new lythrums at the top of the 
list of perennial flowers. They grow to 3 ft. in 
height, bloom from late June to September, do 
well in dry sunny spots or in partial shade. They 
will even grow in poorly drained spots. Estab- 
lished plants produce 20 or more flower spikes 
30 in. tall. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00. 
MATRICARIA (Feverfew) 
Little Gem. Masses of double white flowers like 
miniature pompon chrysanthemums are borne 
on 2 ft. plants throughout most of the summer. 
Long lasting cut flower. 
55c each; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $4.75. 
For Matricaria seed, see page 53.

If you plant only one Mordens Pink Lythrum 
this year we are sure you will want more. 
PANSIES 
Dwarf Swiss Giants Mixed Colors. Young, vig- 
orous, well rooted field grown plants from our 
Test Gardens in which the newest and best 
stocks available are planted. The plants remain 
compact, the blooms are enormous and of 
gorgeous rich, velvety colors. 
Do not be disappointed if they are not in 
bloom when you receive them. The young 
plants bloom much longer than older plants. 
$1.35 Doz.; 25 for $2.50; 100 for $9.00 postpaid. 
We cannot accept orders for less than a dozen. 
PRIMROSE (Polyanthus—English Cowslip) 
Primula veris, Mixed Colors. These gay border j 
flowers blooming in early spring are easy to 
grow and increase so rapidly that they should 
be divided every two years in August. Will grow 
in sun, but prefer some shade. Our mixture 
contains shades of yellow, orange, red and com- 
binations of these colors. 
55c each; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $4.75. 
For Primrose seed, see page 60.

There are few flowers that bring so much cheer 
in early spring as Primroses. 
CREEPING PHLOX (Phlox subulata) 
One of the most popular low growing perennials 
blooming in early spring with tulips and other 
spring bulbs. Colors of the new varieties are a 
great improvement over the vivid magenta 
from which they were bred. Very effective as 
borders, at the front of perennial beds or in 
rock gardens and stone walls. The foliage re- 
mains green all winter. 
Blue Hill. Lovely soft “‘blue”’ which is especially 
effective when planted with the more vivid col- 
ors of creeping phlox. Blooms in the early 
spring and often produces some flowers again 
in the fall. 
Emerald Cushion. The best true deep pink with 
no trace of magenta. Bright shining emerald 
green foliage which remains green all winter. 
One of the newest phlox and has, by far, the 
richest color of any variety. 
Crimson Beauty. A new and brilliant color in 
creeping phlox. Individual florets which are 
very large are a deep cyclamen-red’ with a 
deep carmine center. 
PRICE. Any of the creeping phlox: 
55c each; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $4.75. 
PYRETHRUM (Painted Daisy) 
Robinson’s Hybrids. The largest painted daisies 
developed thus far. The various shades of pink 
and red on long stems are showy in the garden 
and as cut flowers they have no equal. Bloom 
in June. 
60c each; 3 for $1.50; Doz. $5.30. 
For Pyrethrum seed, see page 60.
