VIOLET, White Wonder (Left) 
Imagine a dazzling glacier-white Violet! Each plant

enormous, with a pale lavender center beautifully veined. 
Foliage luxuriant and shiny, hugging the ground tightly, 
with each flower held crisply above the foliage so that 
the blooms show to best advantage. A fine plant for 
rock gardens and foreground of flower beds.

Spring to Fall 
WHITE BLEEDING-HEART (Dicentra plumosa) (A bove) 
This lovely, delicate plant well deserves a place in every garden. It blooms 
heavily in the spring and continues to produce flowers all during the sum- 
mer and fall. The shape of the pure white flowers is similar to the old- 
fashioned Bleeding-Heart, a little smaller in size but far more delicate in 
appearance. White Bleeding-Heart grows luxuriantly in any reasonably 
good garden soil but prefers a continuous supply of moisture and slight 
shade. Splendid for planting in the foreground of perennial borders and 
rock gardens because it grows only 9 to 12 in. high. 
VIOLET, ROYAL ROBE (Left) 
Magnificent, extra-large flowers 
of lustrous, deepest violet-blue. 
So intensely fragrant a few 
plants will fill the air and send 
their delightful perfume even 
The rugged plants have sturdy foliage 
also in fall. The large, superb flowers open 
wide like a pansy or viola, often more than 
1 in. across. Their stiff, erect stems grow 
with leaves or straw. Strong-growing 
9 to 12in. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.00

SHASTA DAISY, Esther Reed (Above) 
The chrysanthemum-like Esther Reed is one of the most 
delightful of Shasta Daisies and is June at its best. An 
easy-to-grow plant for a prim white mass effect. Almost 
entirely free from insects and disease. Blooms from June 
to Oct. Completely double flowers on 18-in., strong 
stems. The plants require a little protection in colder areas, 
75e each; 3 for $2.00; 6 for $3.75

ASTER ALPINUS, Triumph (Above) 
The 3-in. flowers start blooming the middie of June and 
finish the end of July. Flowers are produced in great 
quantitites, 40 to 50 toa single clump. It is a delightfully 
different plant for the garden and rock garden and will 
keep up an excellent show of color. 12 to 24 in. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.00
