OTHER MUMS 
ASTRID—Another of our favorite garden plants is this ‘Northland 
Daisy’ type chrysanthemum. Instead of having the usual double flowers, 
this type has single flowers—like a daisy. It blooms in late August and 
has blossoms of lovely shell pink. Though wonderful as a speciman 
plant, it is at its best used as an edging plant to provide fall color; 
it is also excellent for cutting. 
PINK AZALEA MUM—This is another old plant that we should hate 
doing without. In mid-summer it is a perfect ball of double pink blossoms 
that last and last. If these are removed as they die, another crop of 
blossoms will follow them in the fall. Though it is excellent by itself, 
we prize it chiefly as an edging plant. 
CLEMATIS 
The Clematis species have long been among our garden pets, and 
while we have many of them, this year we are able to offer only two 
for sale. Clematis are very easy to grow, asking only a sunny location, 
and a soil containing plenty of peat moss and lime. 
$3.50 each 
C. INTEGRIFOLIA—This dwart specie is a great rarity in this country, 
but shouldn't be for it is one of the most useful plants in the garden, and 
very easy to grow. You are used to Clematis that wind all over the 
place, but this specie only grows about 2’ tall, making it an ideal trailer 
for the rockery. It is also lovely when allowed to hang down trom a 
wall. The flowers are blue, with a golden mass of stamens, and are much 
like a Dog Tooth Violet in shape. These flowers are carried on 8” 
stems and are excellent for cutting. It blooms in July. 
C. TANGUTICA—This very beautiful climbing type of Clematis blooms 
in August, and has butter yellow, cup shaped blossoms. The buds of 
this flower, which look like miniature Japanese Lanterns, are as pretty or 
prettier than the flowers. One of the best garden effects that we 
have ever seen was C. tangutica trained up into a Prunus Pissardii. 
DODECATHEON 
The Dodecatheons are known by various common names, ''Mosquito 
Bills," "'Shooting Stars,"' "Bird Bills,"" and many others, but no matter 
what you call them in your locality we think that they are wonderful 
plants for a sunny spot in any garden. You might like others of the 
genus, but we think the two we are able to list this year are among 
the best.

D. LATIFOLIUM—This Washington State native has light lavendar flow- 
ers on |0"' stems in early May.
