NEW 1954 
Morden Gleam Lylhrum 
M 203 Morden Gleam Lythrum. We believe this is the finest Lythrum 
ever introduced. It originated at the Experimental Station, Morden, 
Manitoba, Canada, from where the Lythrum Morden Pink also came. 
Without doubt Morden Gleam is the nearest red of any Lythrum, a bril- 
liant, gleaming carmine. Completely hardy, thrives anywhere, from coast 
to coast. Grows in full sun or part shade in just ordinary soil. It is the 
easiest of all hardy perennials to grow, requiring practically no care. Once 
planted it will come year after year, increasing in beauty, producing more 
and still more of the lovely flowers. Blooms continuously for weeks right 
through summer’s heat. After it is through blooming, the seeds color 
attractively and in the fall the foliage turns striking red-purple. Makes an 
attractive bushy plant 40 inches tall. Flowers are far brighter than pictured. 
If you live where it is easy to grow perennials, you will want Morden Gleam 
because of its bright flowers and long season of bloom. If you live where it 
is difficult, then you certainly will welcome Morden Gleam. It is iron-clad 
and fool-proof, withstands cold and heat. Every plant we send out bloomed 
freely in our fields last summer. They will bloom for you this summer and 
for years to come. This is the first year this new variety has been sold and 
ordinarily the price would be at least $1.00 each. But we are making a 
special low introductory price so thousands can enjoy it and let their neigh- 
bors see it. Each 65c, 3 for $1.50, Postpaid

COLORFUL Pyrethrum 
M 241 Pyrethrum (Painted Daisy). This is the superb Robinson strain, the finest we 
know. The flowers are larger and brighter colored, the most gorgeous reds, fine pinks 
and pure whites, all mixed to blend beautifully. Long stems fine for cutting. Blooms 
profusely in the spring and early summer. Grows about 24 inches tall. We are making 
a special price so that you can plant them freely. The flowers are much larger than pic- 
tured. 2 for 60c, 4 for $1.00, 10 for $2.25, Postpaid 
Coreoyadis, GOLDEN SHOWER 
M 89 This is one of our best hardy new perennials. The bright yellow 
star-like flowers, 1 to 11% inches across, are produced for many weeks 
right through the hottest summer weather. The bright green, feathery 
foliage is attractive in itself. Makes a neat, bushy plant 24 to 30 inches 
tall that will brighten up a dull corner or add color to a border. Does 
well in full sun or part shade, in ordinary 
garden soil. 
Each 65c, 3 for $1.65, Postpaid 
Vinca Minor 
M 259 Vinca Minor (Periwinkle). Pic- 
tured at right, actual size flowers. This 
is an improved strain with more and 
larger flowers. It is our best ground 
cover. Glossy foliage stays green, sum- 
mer and winter. A profusion of bright 
blue flowers in early summer. Fine for 
covering banks and bare spots. Thrives 
in full shade, even under trees where 
grass will not thrive. Excellent for edg- 
ing and borders. We send you 4 divi- 
sions in a bunch. Plant these divisions 4 
inches apart and in a year or two you 
will have a solid carpet of green. Postpaid.
