pink, attaining a height 3-4 feet.

long curving racemes, somewhat similar to Lupines, but 
hardier in every way. Blooms in June and is about 2 feet 
high. Suitable for the hardy border or wild garden and not 
at all particular as to soil requirements. 
CAMPANULAS (Canterbury-bells or Bellflower) 
These lovely flowers have a great variety of color and form 
and the taller varieties are useful for cut-flowers as well as in 
the hardy border. 
*Garganica—A very choice gem for the Rock Garden. It is 
very hardy, blooms late June; is a heavenly blue, and has 
trailing habits of growth, but at the same time is neat. The 
foliage is almost as distinctive and attractive as the flower: 
3 to 6 inches high. 
+*Persicifolia Misty Morn—This introduction has 30-inch spire- 
like flower stems covered with double lavender blue bells.

pearance. A magnificent plant for the garden and superb as 
a cut-flower subject. Flowers in June and July.

Telham Beauty type. June flowering.

COREOPSIS (Tickseed) 
+Baden Gold—By far the best single Coreopsis we have seen. 
The large, broadly petaled gold flowers are borne on long, 
stiff, straight stems which assures good cutting material. 
Blooms from early June through September if the first 
blooms are cut off after fading. When better known we feel 
sure this Coreopsis will replace the older single types. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM (Shasta Daisy) 
+Fringed Beauty—A very decided improvement on “Chiffon.” 
Resembles a China Aster to a great extent with its stringy 
fluffy petals. Has a long season of bloom and is marvelous 
when used in a flower arrangement. Individual flowers often 
a width of four inches across on long stiff stems. 2 feet. 
+Mount Shasta—A double flowering Shasta Daisy of snowy- 
white flowers with Anemone type centers, long stiff stems 
make this one of our most attractive cut flower subjects. An 
extremely vigorous grower and an improvement on Esther 
Read in every way. 24 inches. Blooms Spring to frost. 
+Wirral’s Pride—English introduction; a very tailored, compact, 
broad petaled Shasta with flowers about 2 inches in diameter 
but produced in great quantity. The high yellow Daisy center 
is a wonderful contrast to the glistening white flowers. Grows 
2% to 3 feet in height. Blooms June through July. 
DIANTHUS (Hardy Garden Carnations) 
“Garden Pinks” begin to flower in late May and continue to 
do so profusely throughout the season, if not permitted to go 
to seed. They are nice cut-flower specimens and very fra- 
grant. Spring planting is more satisfactory where soil is heavy 
and not well drained.

with a crimson eye. The large double flowers are most at- 
tractive in the hardy garden.

flowers about the size of a 50c piece, and freely produced in 
May and June. Very fragrant. Height, 10-12 inches.

very fine grower and like all the Allwoodii types extremely 
fragrant. Plant in well drained soil in semi-shade, if possible.

r* June Carmine—Is a beautiful shade of bright carmine-pink 
with the spicy fragrance of the old clove pinks. It has the 
lovely carnation gray-green foliage, and the individual 
flowers, on 12-15 inch stems, are fully double, large flowered, 
perfectly formed, and make excellent cut flowers. The habit 
of growth is very compact, neat and cushion-like. Price: 85c 
per plant, $8.50 per dozen. 
r*Old Spice (7 499)—Is as hardy as an oak tree with the habit 
of growth neat, cushion-like and compact on stems twelve 
inches long. Flowers prolifically over long period. Color of 
these beautiful, molded flowers is rich Salmon-Pink, almost 
the same shade as the greenhouse Carnation “Laddie.” The 
spicy Carnation fragrance will delight you, particularly when 
used as a cut flower subject. Height, 18 inches.

size and color of Beatrix in the individual flowers but

tion to the hardy Carnation family. Height, 12 inches.

flowers. Fragrant, free bloomer with good foliage. 12 inches 
tall, perfect for front border.

ers and delicate, fern-like foliage lend seasonal interest. Plant
