Lythrum, Morden Pink 
Japanese Iris 
M 182 WKaempferi Iris (Japanese)—In the 
early days called Children of the Gods. Few 
plants can compare with them for spectacular 
beauty. Bloom in June and July after the 
other Iris are through. Large, flat flowers, 
some large as dinner plates, atop strong stems 
around 3 feet tall. Colors of white, purple, 
red, pink, blue, lavender. The foliage itself is 
attractive. Plant so the crown is 2 inches 
below ground level. Like a sunny spot, rich 
soil and abundant moisture, especially early 
in the season and during blooniing. They like 
an acid soil and will not tolerate lime. Use 
plenty of peat moss. Mulch especially during 
the first winter.

MORDEN PINK 
A Remarkable New Perennial 
M 202 Lythrum, Morden Pink is an out- 
standing perennial. It has proven satisfactory 
from coast to coast. Originating in Canada it 
is hardy even in the coldest states. Makes a 
neat bushy plant 30 to 36 inches tall that 
blooms continuously right through summer’s 
heat. It thrives with almost no care, in sun or 
part shade. It is not at all fussy about soil. In 
the fall, the foliage turns to brilliant red. We 
recommend it highly as being one of the 
easiest-to-grow and most satisfactory peren- 
nials we have ever grown.

PLUMBAGO, A strikingly beautiful 
blue flower 
M 239 Visitors to our nurseries always ask us 
the name of this plant as they see the long 
rows across the field. The open flowers are a 
rich blue, the tiny buds a bronzy-red, giving 
the entire plant a beautiful and unusual ap- 
pearance. It is always in bloom from July 
almost to frost. For an edging plant or a low- 
growing (it grows only 6 to 8 inches tall) solid 
bed, it simply cannot be beat.
