MORDEN’S LYTHRUM 
Here is a perennial that we want to recommend 
to each and every one of our friends and customers. 
Originated at the Morden Experiment: Station, Mor- 
den, Manitoba, Canada. This hardy perennial grows 
to a height of 3 to 4 feet and bears numerous spikes 
covered with deep rose-pink florets. Blooms from 
late June to September. (Note: There are many 
varieties of Lythrum. Be sure you get this true 
variety.) Space your plants 18 inches apart. Top 
size roots that will bioom the first year: 
6 for $3.00; 12 for $5.75, plus tax. This 
grows anywhere and we think it is sensational. 
A dozen or more should be planted for best 
effects. They are beautiful. Be sure to order your 
plants now for FALL PLANTING.
