CATANANCHE- Long Lasting Cupids Dart 
CAERULEA Fach 65¢, three $1.60, six $300 
Fine old fashioned perennial that has been neglected in recent 
years. From the compact tufts of hairy, narrow leaves come dozens 
of stiff stemmed blue flowers £ inches across. Parts of the Daisy- 
like blooms are chaffy and after drying are used as an "everlast- 
ing" in arrangements. Plants blossom much of the summer and are 
easy in any open soil in the sun; 18 inches high. 
SHASTA DAISY- Unique New Variety 
MT. HOOD (New!) Each $1.00, three $2.50, six $4.50 
This exciting new variety is in a class by itself} The large pure 
white blooms to 4 inches are completely double and have no center 
when fully open. They have a much heavier texture than other Shasta 
Daisies and this quality makes them ideal for cutting. The lovel 
blooms possess none of the objectionable odor (especially indoors 
commer to other varieties. Mt. Hood is by nature a sturdy grower 
to 3+ “set and performs best in full sun with only moderate amounts 
of wiatex and fertilizer. Divide and reset in fresh soil as needed. 
DELPHINIUM—- A Bit of Matchless Blue 
BLUE MIRROR Each 60¢, three $1.50, six $2.75 
The large spurless flowers are a deep shade of intensely luminous 
blue that Delphiniums, Gentians, and only a few other flowers 
achieve. The open, branching stalks, 18 to 24 inches tall, rise 
from a clump of much cut, almost fern-like leaves. The gorgeous 
blooms are at their peak from late spring to mid-summer. Plant the 
small fleshy roots in a well drained sunny spot. 
DORONICUM- Tall Leopardsbane Gives Early Color 
PLANTAGINEUM Each 55¥ three $1.45, six $2.65 
Gerbera-like, golden yellow Daisies of utmost simplicity and per- 
fection make a stunning combination with pale lavender Tulips and 
other spring bulbs. The compact, low foliage adds to the overall 
effectiveness. An imposing cut flower; 3 feet high; easy to grow. 
EPIMEDIUM- Crystalline Inside-Out Flower 
ROSE QUEEN (Very Rare!) Each 75¢, three $1.90, six $3.50 
We have the true variety imported from Japan before the war. It 
bears in early spring charming sprays of waxy rose and white blooms 
with very long spurs. The classically cut leaves on wiry stems 
are bronzy as they unfold and color again in the fall. Delightful 
as a ground cover or as specimens in the rock garden or front of 
the border. Give shade and a "woodsy" soil; 18 inches tall. 
Dear Gardening Friends: 
Last year we sent to our whole mailing list our illustrated, eight 
page catalog for 1954-55. We regret that this season we have only 
enough copies left (plus some extras) to send it to our steady 
customers. This catalog offers many fine varieties- "The Best of 
the Old...The Pick of the New®. They are still available at no in- 
crease in prices so order from the catalog as well as from this 
list. If you have not received a catalog this year and have mis- 
placed last year's copy, we shall be pleased to send another as 
long as the supply lasts.
