Retail price list of California bulbs / Carl Purdy

              PERENNIALS   AND   CALIFORNIA  BULBS
Long-spurred Columbines. These wonderfully
attractive flowers are now
to be had in most charming variety.
A. caerulea is Colorado's
state flower, and no one
should be without it. Delicate foliage; the dainty
flowers have a very slender spur of deep blue,
contrasting vividly with
the white center. Nice
plants at 15 cts. each,
$1.50 per doz.
A. chrysantha is a strong-
growing plant often attaining a height of 3 feet
and bearing many light
yellow flowers with very
long spurs,. A first-class
garden plant. 15 cts. each,
$1.50 per doz.
A. chrysantha has a
pure white form, equally
vigorous in growth and a
delightful garden plant.
I offer A. chrysantha alba
at 25 cts. each, $2.50 per
doz.
In A. Skinneri we have
the Mexican form of the
Long-spurred Columbines, in which the spurs
are shades of red and
orange and the centers
yellow. Strong growers
and most charming. 20 cts.
each, $2 per doz.
Long-spurred Hybrids.
These comprise one of the
most delightful series of
flowers that the modern
garden contains. They
are  crosses  between  the
foregoing species and vary _         	
from white through pink
to blue and rose-colored forms.  All are charming and are to be had only in the mixtures.
I offer strong, 2-year-olds in Veitch's Strain at 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. These
are excellent.
I have 1919 summer's seedlings in fine strains at 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.
Short-spurred Columbines. These, while hardly as fine as the Long-spurred, are
most beautiful and valuable garden flowers.
A. vulgaris is the commonest European form, and in this I have a very fine mixture
in superb two-year-old plants at 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. They are a most vigorous
strain well worth space.
A. Helenae is midway between long- and short-spurred and a superb thing. I like
it as well as any species. The large, deep blue spurs contrast with pure white centers.
Strong-growing.   25 cts. each.
A "Short-spurred Rose" is a selection that I have found a great favorite with my
customers. The flowers are a soft old-rose and the plant exceptionally floriferous.
20 cts. each, $2 per doz. for strong, 2-yr.-olds.
California offers two fine species, and A. truncata is a far finer plant than the Eastern
A. canadensis. Growing to 2 to 3 feet at its best, it has many.flowers with red spurs
and yellow centers.
Handsome, showy, dainty, graceful Columbines
