Varieties starred (*) are suitable for Rock Gardens. Varieties daggered (+) are suitable for Cut Flowers. 
STOKESIA (The Cornflower Aster) 
+Blue Moon—lIt is of easy culture, a clean grower and flowers 
throughout June to frost. It is not at all unusual to see vivid 
blue disc-like flowers five to six inches in diameter on stems 
twelve to eighteen inches long. 
SWEET WILLIAM (Biennial) 
+*Newport Pink—Color salmon or watermelon pink. Height, 
12 to 18 inches. 
+*Scarlet—One of the best red types. 
+*White—A glistening white. 
*TEUCRIUM 
Chamaedrys—Small shrub-like growth of shiny dark green 
leaves resembling dwarf Boxwood. Makes an excellent edg- 
ing for a garden or border because it can be clipped to any 
height, up to 12 inches. For nice compact planting set out 
about 6 inches apart. Does best in full sun. 
THALICTRUM (Meadow Rue) 
+Adiantifolium—The foliage resembles the maiden hair fern 
and the feathery white flowers are airy and graceful in the 
garden or in bouquets. Blooms in June. Height, 2 feet. Pre- 
fers a rich loam and rather moist place. 
+Lavender Mist—A comparatively new Perennial for the hardy 
garden. Very dainty maiden hair fern like foliage with large 
loose flowers of lavender-purple. Lovely for lightening up 
bouquets and this plant will do equally well in sun or partial 
shade. June. Height, 4-5 feet. Price: 60c per plant, $6.00 per 
dozen. 
THYMUS (Thyme) 
“Serpyllum coccineus—A prostrate sub-shrub that is excellent 
for growing in stone walls or between rocks. True green shiny 
foliage, a most attractive low growing plant. 
TRITOMA (Red Hot Poker) 
+Pfitzeri—These very brilliant spikes of orange colored flowers 
are very effective in the garden when they are flowering in 
the late Summer and early Fall; drooping tubular flowers in 
dense spikes on long stems above the long narrow grassy 
foliage. Shades from salmon-scarlet to orange-scarlet to true 
orange and yellow. Height, 3 feet. 
+Primrose Beauty—The beautiful clear primrose yellow spikes 
produced by this plant are unique for their grace as well as 
their delightful color. They are faultlessly shaped and slightly 
arched, creating a charming effect. Primrose Beauty blooms 
in early Summer, June and July, on spikes about 40 inches 
tall, lending a charm to the flower border few other plants 
can. Price: 65c each, $5.50 per dozen. 
+Springtime (#318)—A_ fascinating hardy Tritoma which 
flowers in late June and early July. The upper part of the 
flower is a rich coral red, the lower half ivory yellow. These 
sparkling and clear contrasting colors hold one’s attention in 
a pleasing manner. Springtime grows in all kinds of soil and 
has weathered these winter conditions without any protec- 
tion. Height, 30 inches. Price: 65c each, $5.50 per dozen. 
+Summer Sunshine—Flame-red spikes on stems 3 feet tall, 
flowering in July on a nice bushy plant which is attractive 
even when not in flower. Slight protection in Winter is ad- 
visable in cold sections of the country. 
+Vanilla—Butter yellow. 24 inches. 
+White Fairy—Top cream yellow, shades to white. Blooms in 
June. Height, 24 inches. 
TROLLIUS (Buttercup) 
*Ledebouri—A most interesting, vigorous growing, large Butter- 
cup flower of rich golden orange. Flowers profusely in early 
Summer. Does best in deep rich soil with ample moisture, 
and is extremely showy planted in groups of two or three. 
Blooms in June and July. Height, 18 inches. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
+Blue Peter—A recent English introduction of great merit has 
large navy-blue flowers on stiff stems and exceptionally fine 
habit of growth. Flowers from July to August 20th. 15-18 
inches high. 
+Blue Spire—A hybrid of Veronica Longifolia Subsessilis and 
Veronica Spicata which has retained the glorious dark color 
of Veronica Subsessilis. Grows about two feet tall. Bushy 
habit, and a real addition to the Summer blues, which at this 
particular season are rather scarce. Blooms July-August. 
+Longifolia Subsessilis—This is one of the handsomest of the 
Veronicas. It has long spikes of a beautiful deep blue and is 
frequently used as a cut-flower. It attains a height of about 
2 feet and flowers from July to September. 
*Repens—A creeping form of Veronica which produces pinkish 
lavender flowers in late May. Is an excellent ground cover or 
filler between stones in a rock garden. 
VIOLA 
Violas like a moist loamy soil but do well under average soil 
conditions. They also like afternoon shade but this is not 
strictly essential. In early August cut off all long flowering 
runners about 3 inches from plant and they will continue to 
produce flowers all fall. Where low-growing, continuous 
blooming is desired, plant Violas. 
“Apricot Queen—A fascinating shade of apricot that compels 
the immediate attention and admiration of all who see it. 
The plant has a neat, compact habit of growth and blooms 
freely from Spring to October. The requirements for success 
in growing this charming Viola are to locate the plants in 
full sun and to shear them close to the ground twice during 
the season. 
*Firmament—A clear light blue Viola. Like all Violas they 
thrive best in partial shade and fairly rich soil. A Winter 
covering of leaves or evergreen boughs brings them through 
the Winter successfully even in the coldest locations. This 
Perennial Pansy is very handsome. 
“Jersey Gem—The peerless Viola that blooms from April until 
snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a delicious 
fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any good 
garden soil, but must have full sun for best results. 
VIOLETS 
“The King’s Ermine—A beautiful white hardy garden Violet 
coming into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom 
very freely for many weeks. Throat a rich purple. 
Royal Robe—This new Violet should be in every rock garden 
because it is a grand grower and a gem for a shady location. 
The flowers borne on long stems make a very attractive 
corsage. Deep violet blue. 
*VINCA (Periwinkle—or Creeping Myrtle) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick 
trailing growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early 
Spring and occasionally through the Summer. 
“Bowles Variety—A great improvement over any form of 
Vinca grown up to this time. The foliage is broader and a 
brilliant green. Plant is a strong grower and a very profuse 
bloomer. Flowers larger, of a deep lavender blue shade. 
YUCCA (Adam’s Needle) 
+Filamentosa—Ornamental foliage and flowering plants. Makes 
a splendid foil for the delightfully fragrant spikes of creamy 
white flowers produced during June and July. 5 to 6 feet tall.
