ACHILLEAS.— New Achillea, The Pearl. (The Great Cem- 

 etery Plant ) It is a hardy perennial, the top dying down 

 to the ground every Winter. A plant will produce hundreds, 

 and even thousands of flowers the first Summer, but when 

 established the second year they frequently have more than 

 rive thousand perfect flowers on a plant at the same time. It 

 commences to bloom early in July, and is a perfect mass of 

 beautiful flowers till frost, the same bloom keeping perfect two 

 or three months Its flowers are pure white, perfectly double, 

 and produced in large sprays, making it one of the finest cut 

 flowers for bouquets, vases, baskets, etc., or for any kind of 

 decorations. 6 cents each. 



New Rose Colored Achillea, Millefolium Rubrum.— It 

 produces large clusters of flowers a deep lake rose in color, 

 making it wonderfully attractive when placed among shrub- 

 bery or Rose beds, giving all a graceful effect. 8 cents each. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII.— Sometimes called "Boston Ivy" 

 and "Japan Ivy." It is adapted to all situations, and trans- 

 forms the humblest cottage. It is entirely hardy in the most 

 exposed places, attaining a height of twenty to thirty feet in 

 two to three years, clinging to stones, brick or wood work with 

 the greatest tenacity. For covering dead trees, gate posts, 

 boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid 

 growth and tenacious clinging qualities make it a most desir- 

 able plant for staying up terraces. In the Summer the foliage 

 is a rich shade of green, but in the Fall it assumes the most 

 gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so dazzling as to 

 be seen at a great distance. 10 cents each; extra strong 

 plants, £5 cents each. 



ALTHEA, or ROSE OF SHARON.— These are the most beau- 

 tiful shrubs I have in my collection. The flowers are of large 

 size, very double and full, of various brilliant and striking 

 colors. They bloom freely during August and September, 

 when scarcely any other shrub is in bloom. Two kinds, 

 double White and Rose, 15 cents each. 

 New Pure White Althea, Snowdrift.— Has no speck of col- 

 oring in ceuter, as the old variety has, but is pure white. 10 

 cents each. 



AZALEA MOLLIS.— The most brilliant and showy of all hardy 

 shrubs— exceeding even the Rhododendron — and entirely 

 hardy without protection in all situations. The bloom, which 

 varies in color from the intense rosy crimson to lemon yellow, 

 literally covers the compact, spreading plant, forming a huge 

 bouquet, and which remains in perfection for a long time in 

 May aud June. Massed thevproduce an effect that is actually 

 brilliant and dazzling. 40 cents each. 



NEW DOUBLE ANEMONE, " WHIRLWIND."— This beautiful 

 Japanese Anemone has, since its introduction, proved one of 

 the finest hardy Fall-blooming plants in cultivation, grow- 

 ing to a height of three feet,«.nd holding up on stiff stems 

 flowers from two and a half to three inches across, of pure 



white, and heavy waxy texture. A large bed of this is worth 

 going miles to see, and the large, graceful flowers are unex- 

 celled for cutting. 10 cents each. 



ASTILBE JAPONICA.— Hardy everywhere. Incomparably 

 the most beautiful of hardy herbaceous plants, growing about 

 two feet high, in compact shape, with handsome foliage, from 

 above which rise its panicles of small, feathery, white blos- 

 soms, the embodiment of grace and delicacy. It can be 

 bloomed readily in Winter. Give the plant a half shaded po- 

 sition. 10 cents each. 



APIOS TUBEROSA. Tuberous-Rooted Wistaria.— A valua- 

 ble hardy, tuberous-rooted climber, closely resembling the 

 common Wistaria in vine and foliage, and having clusters of 

 rich, deep, purple flowers, which have a strong, delicious vio- 

 let fragrance. Plant the bulb near a trellis, fence, tree, or any 

 place where you may wish a climber. . It blooms profusely. 

 The bulbs are perfectly hardy, and should not be taken up over 

 Winter. It is sure to give satisfaction. 5 cents each. 



CINNAMON VINE.— This is a lovely hardy vine, bearing white 

 flowers. Fine cinnamon fragrance. 5 cents each. 



CLEMATIS. Clematis Patiiculata.— One of the most beau- 

 tiful of my hardy flowering vines. The flowers are pure white, 

 and are borne in great panicles or clusters of bloom, fairly 

 covering the plant, so that it is a mass or sheet of fleecy white. 

 15 cents each; two for 35 cents. 



CLEMATIS FLAMULA. Virgin's Bower.— A general favorite 

 where a hardy, rapid-growing, graceful vine is admired. Its 

 small, bright green foliage is almost hidden by large clusters 

 of fine, fragrant white flowers. 10 cents each. 



LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS. Duchess of Edittburg.— 

 This is, without doubt, the best of the double whites. Very 

 free-flowering and very fragrant. 50 cents each. 

 Jackmatiii. — From four to six inches in diameter, intense 

 violet purple, with a rich, velvety appearance, and distinctly 

 veined. The best. 50 cents each. 



Hearyii. — Flowers are large — six to nine inches in diameter. 

 Pure white. One of the best. SO cents each. 

 Kermiseuus Rubra.— This beautiful Clematis is much sought 

 after, but is very scarce. The color is a bright rosy red, en- 

 tirely distinct from any other sort. A persistent bloomer and 

 strong grower, with large flowers. A grand variety You 

 should try it. 50 cents each. 



Special "Offer. — -The set of /our distinct, large-flowering Clem- 

 atis for $1.50. This is a bargain, as the roots are large and 



strong. 'The best you have ever seen. 



CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE.— It is hardy everywhere. As 

 a vine for permanent effect, or for shading a sunny window, 

 covering an arbor or veranda, and for perfect hardiness it can- 

 not be excelled. Pale purple flowers and scarlet berries are 

 constantly appearing from early Spring till late in the FalL 

 Do not confound this with the old sort. 8 cents each.
