Dreer's garden book Henry Dreer's garden book / Henry A. Dreer. dreersgardenbook1931dree Year: I HARDY PERENNIAL PIANTS yj A PAIR OF EXTRA FINE HARDY PERENNIALS Double-flowering Gypsophila 'Bristol Fairy' (Illustrated In color on opposite page.) The well-known double-flowering Gypsophila Paniculata, when first introduced, was quite a sensational novelty, and is still one of the most valuable hardy garden plants, with its great panicles of white flowers so indispensable for cutting in July and August. In Bristol Fairy, we have a wonderful advance over the aforementioned sort, a plant not only of greater vigor, producing much larger (2 to 3 feet high) panicles of flowers, in which the individual bloom also is considerably larger, and of purer white color, but it also possesses the advantage of flowering more or less continuously throughout the summer, new branches of bloom appearing after the first flush of flowers has passed, if these are cut away when through blooming. Strong Roots, SO cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Salvia Pitcheri (Blue Meadow Sage) This species (illustrated in color on the opposite page), comes from the wilds of Colorado, and is one of the most attractive of our native plants. A true blue flower, with a long season of bloom, August, September and October, thriving in any situation and almost without care. The flowers of deepest indigo-blue are borne with the greatest profusion on long slender stalks 3 to 4 feet high and blooming at a time when blue flowers are not plentiful makes it a most noteworthy addition to any garden planting. This variety is extremely hardy and winters over in any part of the country without protection. 30 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Veronica (Speedwell) Amethystina Royal Blue. RLh gentian blue; June and July; 2 feet. — True Blue. A splendid rich dark blue; June and July; 2 feet. Incana. Bright silvery foliage, blue flowers; July and August; 1 foot.
