PERKINS’ PERENNIALS 
RUDBECKIA, THE KING 
Platycodon (Chinese Balloon-Flower) 
Grandiflorum. The Chinese Balloon-Flower gets its 
name from the interesting balloon-shaped buds which 
open into large bells. It blooms during the summer 
when there ts likely to be a scarcity of flowers. The 
blooms are borne on 2 to 3-foot spikes and last a long 
time. All dead blossoms should be removed. As the 
Platycodons do not start growth until Iate in the 
spring, part of the old stem should be left on in the 
fall when cleaning the garden or a stake should be 
placed near it. This will prevent destroying the plant 
when working in the garden early inthe spring. Blue, 
White or Shell-Pink. Each 50c.
