HARDY PHLOX 
Iceland Poppies 
Kelmscott Strain. From a cluster of green leaves 
arise long stems bearing large, graceful, cup-like 
flowers in many delicate tints—pink, white, apricot, 
orange, and various combinations. Each 35c. 
Platycodon (Chinese Balloon-Flower) 
Grandiflorum. The Chinese Balloon-Flower gets its 
name from the interesting balloon-shaped buds which 
open into large bells. It blooms during the summer 
when there is likely to be a scarcity of flowers. The 
blooms are borne on 2 to 3-foot spikes and last a long 
time. AIl dead blossoms should be removed. As the 
Platycodons do not start growth until late in the 
spring, part of the old stem should be left on in the 
fall when cleaning the garden or a stake should be 
placed near it. This will prevent destroying the plant 
when working in the garden early inthe spring. Blue, 
White or Shell-Pink. Each 40c. 
Potentilla 
Warrensi. A lovely plant for the sunny border. Large, 
pure yellow blossoms all summer. Each 30c. 
Pardanthus (Blackberry-Lily) 
Chinensis. An odd and unusual, perfectly hardy 
perennial with green iris-like leaves. The small, 
daintily black-spotted orange lily-like flowers are 
borne on 24-inch stems. Seed pods, when ripe, re- 
semble blackberries. Each 40c. 
Pentstemon (Beard-Tongue) 
Confertus. 2 to 3 ft. Showy clusters of deep blue 
flowers. Each 50c. 
Garnet. A large-flowered dark red Pentstemon, bloom- 
ing continuously until frost. Keeps well as a cut- 
flower. Needs winter protection. Not hardy in Min- 
nesota except under ideal conditions, but 1s worthy 
of a place in your garden and should give an abun- 
dance of flowers the first season. Each 50c. 
Firebird. Similar to the above except in color, which is 
a beautiful ruby-crimson. Each 50c.
