Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums. We have selected a 

 good variety to represent each color 



Chrysanthemum, Small Golden Button. The 



latest and hardiest variety, continuing during 

 December. The distinct, solid foliage, which 

 holds exceptionally late, makes it particularly 

 valuable for edging beds of shrubs. 



C. maximum, " Triumph." A plant about 2% 

 feet high, with white, daisy-like flowers from June 

 until October. 



C., Shasta Daisy. One of Luther Burbank's 

 productions which, in this climate, has not come 

 up to its description. It has large, pure white 

 flowers nearly 4 inches in diameter. 



CLEMATIS Davidiaiia. A shrub-like plant about 

 4 feet high, bearing fragrant blue flowers resem- 

 bling Hyacinths. August and September. 



C. recta. Upright Virgin's Bower. This grows 2 to 

 3 feet high, has dense panicles of small white 

 flowers, like the Clematis paniculata. We recom- 

 mend it for the rear of flower borders, for planting 

 among shrubs and for cut-flowers. 



CONVALLARIA. Lily-of-the-Valley. A horti- 

 cultural fact that is well known is that Lily-of-the- 

 Valley will grow in the shade. It can be used as a 

 carpet under evergreen trees and shrubs, and in 

 the shady corners next to buildings. We grow it in 

 large quantities and the plants can be divided 

 and replanted as they crowd, and so cover a 

 large area. 



COREOPSIS. A favorite among the numerous 

 yellow, daisy-like flowers. It blooms so profusely 

 and continuously that a bowl full of long-stemmed 

 graceful flowers can be cut at any time from June 

 until the end of summer. It has not the clumsy 

 sunflower-like or weedy appearance of some of 

 this family. 



COWSLIP. See Primula. 

 DAFFODILS. See Narcissus. 



DAISY. See Bellis and Rudbeckia. 



DAY LILY. See Funkia and Hemerocallis. 



DELPHINIUM. Larkspur. These tall, blue spikes 

 are among the most beautiful and useful hardy 

 flowers. 



D. formosum. Indigo-blue. The old-fashioned 

 sort. Has a continuous succession of flower- 

 spikes. 4 feet. 



D. grandiflorum, var. Chinese. A low-growing 

 variety, with fern-like foliage and deep blue 

 flowers from June to August. 



D., Kelway's Hybrids. A very fine range of colors, 

 in tall, vigorous spikes. 5 to 7 feet. 



DESMODIUM. See Lespedeza. 



DIANTHUS. Pink. We have a large collection of 

 the various Pinks. They represent in the garden 

 the Carnation of the greenhouse. They like a dry, 

 sunny position in the garden where their sod-like 

 foliage makes an excellent border for paths. 



D., June Pink. Double, white. This is the old- 

 fashioned sort, with clove-scented flowers of pure 

 white color. Large mats of it should be in the 

 flower-garden or on sandy banks. 



D., Homer. Rich rosy red, with dark center. 



D. delicata. A soft delicate rose, finely fringed. 



D. plumarius. Double and single hardy garden 

 Pinks in a variety of colors. 



D. Chinensis. China Pinks. This and the follow- 

 ing varieties are raised from seeds and bloom the 

 same year and the next, being usually classed as 

 annuals or biennials. We take especial care to 

 grow only the finest, richest sorts, such as Fire- 

 ball, which has double globular blood-red flow- 

 ers, and Crimson Belle, the large single rich crim- 

 son flowers, as these are very rich for bedding 

 purposes. 



Dianthus Chinensis and D. Heddewigii. The Chinese 

 and Japanese Pinks are similar in habit and in colors 

 rich crimson-maroon, brilliant reds, clear pinks and white.
