preparation of perennial plants for our critical customers.

AJUGA PINK SPIRE
This is a very effective variety because of
its soft pink flowers which are produced
on long spikes in June and July. Perfect,
compact habit of growth, height 6 to 9
inches. Ideal for growing in shady cor-
ners. In addition to the pure pink flowers,
the foliage is dense and remains evergreen
throughout the entire winter.

ALYSSUM SAXATILE FL. PL.
Similar to the well known variety Saxa-
tile Compactum, except that these flowers
are double. Due to the fact that this va-
riety produces double flowers, it is more
showy and the individual flower spikes
are larger. In every way we consider the
double flowering form a great improve-
ment over the old fashioned type.

Dianthus introductions and bound to be
your most profitable item in this line. It
is about 3” high with blue spiney foliage;
single, deep crimson flowers almost as
large as a fifty cent piece. The best fea-
ture about it, however, is that it blooms

worthy addition to the set of Beatrix and
Prince Bismark. Without question it is

months of June, July and August.

GYPSOPHILA FLAMINGO
Ideal Double Pink Florists
Baby’s Breath
This is a worthy companion to the well
known Bristol Fairy. It has the same
habit of growth and flowering. It is also
a prolific bloomer. The first flowers, ap-
pearing in June and July, vary from light
pink to white. If these are cut, the
plants will continue producing flowers
throughout the entire summer, bearing an
exceptionally heavy crop in the month of
September. At that time, due to the cool-
er nights, the flowers come avery good
shade of pink. These are very neat in ap-
pearance and when used in floral pieces
they really create a very high class effect.

—-. PENSTEMON GARNET
“we believe this
new Penstemon is the
finest of them all. It is a large flowering
type, a prolific bloomer from June until
frost. The large, rich, garnet colored
flowers are gracefully placed on stems 14
to 18 inches in length often 12 to 15 flow-
ers appearing on one plant. This creates
a very striking effect in the perennial
border, and during the entire growing
season it will provide flowers which can
be used in floral work of all types. We
recommend that all growers of cut flowers
make a generous planting of this new
Penstemon. Your flower crops the first
season after planting will more than re-
pay your original investment and the
plants will continue to produce for many
years.

ARMERIA
Sea Pink or Thrift
Attractive plants that will succeed in any soil.
The beautiful evergreen
tufts of bright green are always ornamental, from which innumerable
flowers appear in dense heads on stiff wiry stems 9 to 18 inches in length.
They flower more or less continuously from early spring until late fall. As a
class they are very useful in the rockery and the taller varieties are very
good for summer cut flowers or for forcing during the winter months.
BEE’S RUBY. June flower beds offer noth-
ing more striking. This Armeria grows to
a height of 18 to 24 inches. On the tip of
each stem are produced bright red flowers
about 2 inches in diameter. In addition to
garden value, the flowers are also very
attractive in floral designs. We have a
nice supply ready for shipment this
spring. If you are looking for something
unusual here is a plant worthy of your
consideration.

MARTIN’S OWN HYBRIDS. For some time
there has been an active demand for a
mixture of bright colors in Armeria.
While the strains available up to now have
been composed mostly of the light shades,
this new strain gives us the shades of
bright pinks, coral red, light red, violet
and purple which have been lacking. The
numerous flowers are large and ball

1941 Presents
Three New Hardy
Cliysanthemum Iutroductions
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME
We are indeed happy to announce our affiliation
with Mr. Alex Cuming of Bristol, Conn., famed
originator of Hardy Chrysanthemums. This for-
tunate arrangement shall enable us to bring New
Chrysanthemums to our customers at wholesale in
the first year of their introduction, where formerly
these highly prized new items have been available
oniy through very restricted retail channels.

EUGENE A. WANDER
A big, brilliant, glistening gold-
en yellow beauty, flowering so
freely that the stocky growing
plant is almost obscured by its
branching clusters of big double
flowers—each one the height of
perfection in form. Plant sel-
dom exceeds eighteen inches
and is in full flower by Sep-
tember 20th--therefore valuable
where earliness is important. It
is a hardy, easily grown variety,
requiring no pinching or special
handling to produce flowers 41%
to 5 inches across or larger if
disbudded. Fine also for pot cul-
ture. Occasional plants assume
bronzy-yellow tints, but are just
as attractive.

DUPONT III
The quality of iridescence is so
pronounced in this fine new
Hardy Chrysanthemum that ac-
curate description is difficult.
The dominant shade is a soft
peach tinted with rosy-salmon
and fawn shades; the whole
overcast with an indescribably
luminous sheen. It is entirely
distinct and altogether lovely.
The large, full, perfectly formed
flowers are carried on _ tall
branching stems, making a
strong, sturdy, 2% ft. plant. In
full flower in early October, it
will prove a grand addition to
the garden and an invaluable
cut flower variety.

MILKY WAY
This is outstanding among all white Hardy Chrysanthe-
mums; first for the remarkable intensity of its milky white
color in the open flower; again for its rich dark green
foliage which contrasts so effectively with the soft lemon
tints of the opening flower, creating an effect distinctly
different from that of any other white variety. Blossoms
are of the semi-double informal type, with broad over-
lapping petals and are carried in branchy sprays of 5 to 6.
Unusually hardy as a plant, the open flower is remarkably
frost resistant—a valuable trait where early frosts may in-
jure the opening flower, particularly on white kinds. A
strong vigorous plant 21% to 3 feet in height, flowering in
late September.

Chiysanthemum Cssortment Quick and Casy
OR many years the distribution of the finest in Hardy Chrysanthemums to our critical customers has been
a large department of our business. Large scale operation enables us to give a service that is not available
ctherwise. Our research is always alert for the new varieties, and hundreds of varieties are brought to our
trials each year. Only after they successfully undergo all of the rigorous tests which we prescribe for them, do
we O.K. them as having come up to the high standards which a Hardy Mum must have before we consider it
good enough for our trade. Then, after it is ready to list, great care is taken to eliminate from propagation
the variety or varieties that the new one surpasses. WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR YOU? It eliminates all
gambling from your purchasing. You are absolutely sure that every selection made from our lists is a good
one, and that you are getting the best possible plant for your purpose, because only the best are maintained
in the propagation schedules.
Be sure that you will have the best assortment of Hardy Mums that it is possible to gather for your spring plant-
ings.
For your convenience, the complete list of all that is really good in Hardy Mums appears below. Go over it

Breath
This is a worthy companion to the well
known Bristol Fairy. It has the same
habit of growth and flowering. It is
also a prolific bloomer. The first flow-
ers, appear-ng in June and July, vary
from light pink to white. If these are
cut, the plants will continue producing
flowers throughout the entire summer,
bearing an exceptionally heavy crop in
the month of September. At that time,
due to the cooler nights, the flowers
come a very good shade of pink. These
are very neat in appearance and when
used in floral pieces they really create
a very high class effect.

These Iris are very interesting. They grow well in ordinary soil in shady
locations or in full sunshine. The tall varieties are very satisfactory for’
planting around pools and lakes while the dwarf varieties are ideal for shady
corners in the, rock garden.
PSEUDACORUS. 36 to 48 inches. This is
a particularly valuable species for several
reasons. First, it is a rich yellow color,
which color is entirely lacking in Siberian
and Japanese Iris and it is especially at-
tractive mixed with the Siberians. Second,
it will grow in marsh or swampy land,
even with 2 or 3 inches of water over it,
and makes a pretty picture in shallow
water or along the water’s edge. Third,
it is excellent for naturalizing, as it will
take care of itself in the most rugged sur-
roundings.

WHY JAPANESE IRIS???
= In the scope of the last few years, many of our tradesman friends, in casual conversation with us, have
expressed some wonder at the extensive plantings of Japanese Iris which are in our nurseries. ‘Why,’ they
asked, ‘the great attention to this plant family? What is the reason behind the row upon row of Japanese Iris
that we find here? What is the value that prompts this great effort?’’ It has always given us a great deal of
pleasure to discuss this with them, and we’ve found that we were able to impart information that was of value
and which would prove profitable to these men in the employment of this beautiful, useful plant in their work.
With us, the romance of the Japanese Iris has its beginning in the infancy of our business, when, as a plant
fanciers hobby, we made purchase of 25 plants each of our good varieties for our own enjoyment. In a few years
we had increased our quantities of these four varieties. During their flowering season, visitors to our establish-
ment insisted on purchasing whatever we could spare and continuously urged us to grow larger quantities and
expand our list.
We then began to contact the outstanding growers of Japanese Iris, always insisting on the better varieties.
We would often buy as many as 25 new varieties, soon discovering duplications and discarding inferior ones. We
added only those which in our opinion were worth propagating and growing. We are continuing this same
system today. That is why we believe that we have growing here in our nurseries the largest plantings of Japa-
nese Iris in cultivation today, consisting of the most worthwhile assortment of varieties.
We carefully disseminated our stock to the trade in all its branches. Everywhere, those who try them
report tremendous success and envision the possibilities of good profit in their turnover. This feeling and
spirit has grown into a fine department of our business, and each year sees the sale of upwards of a half million
rhizomes—repeated year after year. this can mean only one thing — that our customers are realizing a good
profit from the sale of the Iris that we grow for them.
Here is why they are successful:
FOR THE LANDSCAPER — nothing equals their beauty for planting around small lakes and fish ponds, and for
livening up a well rounded-out perennial planting.
FOR THE NURSERYMAN — they are fast becoming leaders in the assortment of perennials. They are easily
grown and always provide the nurseryman with good profits.
FOR THE RETAIL CATALOGUER — they outsell most of the items offered in a retail catalog and provide better
than ordinary profits.
FOR THE ROADSIDE STAND — People calling at stands are asking for Japanese Iris. This is a very worthy
item and sufficient quantities of the best varieties should always be kept on hand.
FOR THE FLORIST — In recent years the florist trade has fast been discovering that Japanese Iris can be cut in
bud, allowed to open in water and in this manner become ideal for use in the better types of large floral
arrangements. They are particularly adapted for baskets that are sent to openings.

SEPTEMBER GLORY
This late flowering type was select-
ed from a large number of fine
seedlings because of its outstand-
ing beauty. It has proved very
popular as a cut flower in the
trade for the past few years but
has never been offered in growing
plants. It is the showiest form of
all the late varieties. The purple
flowers are produced on extra long
spikes during late August and Sep-
tember. A first-class acquisition for
the border and for cutting.

Liatris Scariosa White Pearl
The very artistic arrangement above was created by using flower spikes cut from our spring planting of White
Pearl. The beautiful white flowers can be used in connection with other flowers or by themselves for the larger
floral pieces. We believe that this is one of the nicest items for florists that has come to our attention fora long
time. We very highly recommend that all growers make a planting of this white Liatris. Weare sure that it will
become one of the most valuable cut flowers in your establishment. The plants grow 3 to 4 feet with elegant
flower spikes thickly covered with lovely fluffy white blooms which reach more than half way down the stems.
Very often when the main flowers are cut, later in the season the side shoots will also develop fine quality flowers
on short stems which can be used in smaller vases or in arrangements with other flowers.

56 WHOLESALE LIST FOR FLORISTS, LANDSCAPERS AND NURSERYMEN
THE NEWEST AND FINEST
BUDDLEIAS
Wonders Have Been Worked That Are Here To Stay
Our 2” pot plants, planted out in April or May will produce a good crop of
fine quality flowers on beautifully developed bushes from July until frost.
ROYAL PURPLE
THE REDDEST OF THEM ALL
Color is a rich, glowing purple, approaching red and is such a distinctive shade that it
defies good description. Even the color camera has failed to record it as it exactly is.
Hach large panicle seems to be lighted from within, an effect that a printer cannot re-
produce. The bush is completely covered with long, sturdy spikes from July to frost.
Long in pace with the good, new Buddleias, as they are introduced, our customers all
know that we brought this whole list to them in the first years of introduction and that
they have all enjoyed a tremendous acceptance and popularity. We've given Royal
Purple the same rigid appraisal as is our habit, and we find it PERFECT in any con-
sideration. Naturally, the supply is very limited, but we will continue filling your
orders while the stock lasts—you have our word backed by our reputation that what
you will have growing is the cream of the crop.
2” Pots, Per 10, $3.00; Per 100, $25.00
DUBONNET
The color is an exact counterpart of the French wine, Dubonnet, a beautiful new shade.
In sunshine and under lights it glows almost red. The spikes are solid and well round-
ed, the florets large. Growth is robust and erect, stems are strong. The real beauty of
its use is the ease with which it harmonizes with other flowers of all shades,

2” Pot Plants, Per 10, $1.75; Per 100, $12.50
ORCHID BEAUTY
A splendid new variety of soft cattleya-lilac with a brilliant orange eye. It is near
the well Known [Fortune in color but is twice the plant in any consideration. Flower
spikes are twice as long and are brilliantly in flower from the very tip to the base at
the SAME TIME. It is an extremely valuable addition to the Buddleia line.
2” Pots, Per 10, $2.50; Per 100, $20.00
PINK CHARMING
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT
A striking plant anywhere, flowering from the middle of June until frost. Plant grows
to 5 or 6 feet in height and spread. Heads are round and solid, and open full length.
Flowers are a clear lavender pink, a different color in the Buddleia range. In the sun
they appear clear pink, and under lights a soft pink. It blends beautifully with light
blue in floral work. No Buddleia planting is complete without a representative plant-
ing of this beautiful pink variety.
