LIATRIS 
(Blazing Star or Gayfeather) 
Thrives in ordinary soils, in sun or shade, can be grown 
at water-side. Plant in groups of three at back of border. 
In our opinion Liatris has been neglected by gardeners. 
Excellent for cutting. 
Pycnostachya Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75

top down, on spikes 4 feet high.

PAPAVER ORIENTALE 
(Oriental Poppy) 
Listed in detail in the fall edition which should reach you 
in early July, the time, by the way, to transplant bare- 
root stock. 
Potted roots in full growth are available in early spring 
and late fall at the Sales Center for $1.50 each. 
PHLOX DECUSSATA 
(Hardy Garden Phlox) 
To grow Phlox well be sure soil is well-drained, deep 
and heavily enriched. Keep in full sun. Water freely 
under the foliage. It likes its feet wet and its clothing dry. 
In wet weather dust with sulphur to prevent mildew. 
Don’t plant too close to stone walls—they are damp. Set 
far enough apart to get good air circulation. Divide the 
roots every three or four years to keep plants vigorous 
and flowers large. Destroy all seedlings—they turn to 
ugly magenta colors and are so vigorous they crowd out 
named varieties.
