Fkypericums 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. 
Their brilliant flowers are beautifully formed and grow on slender 
branches from early summer until stopped by frost. Excellent sub- 
jects for the flower border or in the foreground of taller shrubs, as 
well as foreground covering. 
Calycinum Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00, 100 $85.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as a ground 
cover for both sunny and semi-shady places. The underground runners 
are produuced so freely as to completely cover the ground; at the 
top the golden yellow flowers shine like jewels. Its height is about 12 
to 18 inches. We recommend this as one of the best and hardiest. 
Hidccte Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
From the famous Hidcote estate in England we obtained this fine 
variety a few years ago. It grows into a twiggy shrub about 18 inches 
tall and about the same diameter. Throughout the summer it is cov- 
ered with bright yellow cup-like flowers about 2 inches in diameter. 
In cold winters it freezes back to the ground but this does not matter 
because it springs up from the base producing each summer its masses 
of blooms. A fine shrub for the foreground in the border in cold 
climates. In the temperate parts of the country it will reach a height 
of about 3 to 4 ft. Flowers are fragrant and appear late June 
cont nuing until mid-October. 
Hypericum, Sungold Bony Nene 
A hardy, shapely, dwarf shrub which grows into an almost completely 
oval shape of 2145 to 3 feet in diameter, and about 18 to 24 inches in 
height, densely covered with foliage that is handsome throughout the 
summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers at the end of every shoot 
of the summer’s new growth. It flowers more freely and much longer 
than any of the Hypericum Patulum now in general use. Its flowers 
are bigger and produced in immense quantities, transforming the 
lovely plant into a small mound of gold when in full bloom. 
Of particular interest and value is its exceptional hardiness. In our 
nursery tests over five years it has proven its ability to withstand cold 
weather as well as outgrow and outbloom any Hypericum we have ever 
seen. The average size of bloom is from 21% to 3 inches in diameter. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00
