Crockett's Blue Book: Alpines, Perennials, Seeds, Bulbs

1930 · 37 pages

This is a 1930 seed and plant catalog from Roderick M. Crocket & Co., Inc., a Cranford, New Jersey nursery specializing in hardy alpine plants, bulbs, and seeds. The company celebrates its eighth anniversary and advertises recent awards—a silver medal for a rock garden exhibit at the 1929 New Jersey Flower Show and a first prize at the New York Dahlia Show for its perennial collection. The catalog details two major plant categories: Sub-Shrubs and Cluster Plants. Sub-shrub offerings include Lebanese candytuft, dwarf indigo, Scotch heather, daphne, and other compact woody plants ranging from six inches to two feet in height, priced from 30 cents to $2 per plant. The cluster plants section features numerous alpine varieties including campanulas, dianthus, gentian, phlox, primrose, and iris—many marked as new introductions or rare specimens. Plants are offered individually or by the dozen at bulk discounts. The text exhibits typical horticultural taxonomy and cultivation details of the period.
