CONVALLARIA


MAJALIS Size: Extra-large flowering pips #SCM01 “Lily-of-the-Valley” A genera that consists of only one species, this rhizomatous peren- nial is famous for the unique scent


of its delicate sprays of dainty, pendant, bell- shaped white flowers. In the garden it relishes a cool, shady location and moist, humus-rich soil and, once established, spreads to form a dense groundcover. While the flowers last only a short time, the crisply pointed oval green leaves remain attractive all summer. Deer and rodent proof. Use: border, natural, pots, cut, forcing.

CORYDALIS Size: 2½ inch pots (except where noted) “Fumewort”


This native of European and Asian woodlands is related to dutchman’s breeches and bleeding heart. Its masses of fern- like leaves and showy clusters of delicate flowers lend a graceful note to lightly shaded areas in rock gardens, along paths or slopes and in crev- ices on rock walls. The somewhat tubular flowers, rarely over 1 inch long, have a distinct spur that projects backward, and bloom in large clusters. They grow best in cool-season areas and may go summer dormant in hot tempera- tures. In warmer climates, plant in dense shade or near moving water.


C. elata #SCO90 Fragrant cobalt-blue flowers rival gentians for brilliance. Plants are quite heat-tolerant. 3 inch pots.


[Ht: 12"-18", Bl: Summer, Zones: 4 to 9, SSH] Each 10.95 3 for 29.95 6 for 54.95

Each 12.95 3 for 34.95 6 for 64.95


CORNUS CANADENSIS Size: 3 inch pots “Bunchberry” #SCC80


This fascinating groundcover is native to moist forests, bogs and stream banks from Green-


land and Alaska to the mountains of California and Virginia. A patch in bloom appears like a Flow- ering Dogwood shrub that has been buried to its outermost twigs.The rhizomes creep by underground stolons, constantly sending up stems to form lovely dense patches. Each stem has 2 to 3 sets of overlapping, opposite leaves at its tip. From the center of this group emerges a small knot of yellow or green flowers in late spring to early summer surrounded by four white bracts. The flowers eventually develop into a bunch of striking scarlet berries, each containing a hard seed. Bunchberries thrive in moist, acidic soil and a cool location. [Ht: 3"-6", Bl: Late Spring, Zones: 2 to 7, SSH/SH] Each 7.95 3 for 21.95 6 for 39.95


C. m. var. Prolificans #SCM05 A rarely found double-flowered form with large, double white flowers and exceptional fragrance. 3 inch pots. Each 7.95 3 for 21.95 6 for 39.95


C. m. var. rosea #SCM04 This lily-of-the valley selection has pale pink flowers. It doesn’t grow as vigorously as its white sibling, but has a delicate beauty all its own.
