FRAISES DES BOIS 
(Wild French Strawberries) 
Shipping plants have small crowns but are heavily rooted. 
Planted in early spring they will produce their first berries 
in July; plants will be lush and in full production at the 
end of August. Fertilize with dry cow manure or compost 
that is free of grubs. Neither of these varieties produce 
runners. 
*Charles V Doz. $8.95, 25 $14.95, 50 $27.50 
Named after France’s famous king, who, about 1360, was 
the first Frenchman to bring wild strawberries from the 
woods and plant them in a garden. This variety is an 
open upright plant with dark green leaves, about 8 inches 
high, 10 inches in diameter. Plant one foot apart as 
border edging or in beds or rows in the vegetable 
garden. Berries are deepest red, about five-eighths inch 
long, pointed, about three eighths inch in diameter at the 
butt. Charles V is ever-bearing and a heavy producer. 
Patent pending. 
*Marie Antoinette Doz. $8.95, 25 $14.95, 50 $27.50 
A highly compact dainty upright plant with delicate green 
leaves. Berries are a darkish red at the base, a rouge-pink 
at the tip. A heavier producer than Charles V but berries 
are slightly smaller. Ever-bearing, of course. Patent 
pending. This happens to be our favorite if you’re won- 
dering about which variety to buy. 
STOKESIA (Cornflower Aster) 
Prefers sunny, warm and sheltered location in well- 
drained soil. Plant early autumn. 
Cyanea Each 80c, Three $2.00, Ten $6.00 
Large, light blue disc-like flowers on 10 to 12 inch stems. 
Plant itself is dwarf in habit. A September bloomer and welcome 
in the border at that time. 
TEUCRIUM (Germander) 
Dwarf, compact, bushy shrub-like plants with glossy deep 
green foliage. Prefers well drained location. Does best 
in sun. 
*Chamaedrys Each 75c, Three $1.80, Ten $5.25 
This very hardy plant can be used in place of miniature 
boxwood. Height 12-15 inches. Trimmed to any desired 
height. 
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.

three each of the following whites—White Admiral, Rem- 
brandt and Von Lassburg. (18 plants; a $13.00 value.)
