PHLOXES. 



HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX. 



Tall Choice Perennial Varieties. 



Hardy Phloxes have long- been so popular that it is rare 

 to find a garden without a collection of at least a few of 

 the many beautiful varieties now in cultivation. No plant 

 is more attractive or more useful, either for the adornment 

 of the garden or for supplying cut flowers. 



The gardener's art has succeeded wonderfully in produc- 

 ing varieties which are marvels of beauty, both as to size 

 of blossoms and variety, richness and delicacy of color. 



To those not familiar with these plants we desire to say 

 that they are perfectly hardy, and succeed well in almost 

 any kind of soil. Small plants are usually selected to start 

 with, as they increase rapidly in size, not in height so 

 much, which is from 2 to 3 feet, but in the number of 

 flower stems, which multiply year after year. 



OUR PLANTS ARE WELL-GROWN AND STRONG. 



"We offer below twelve of the choicest varieties, which 

 will give a succession of bloom from June to August.

PYRETHRUM. 



NEW IMPORTED HYBRIDS. 



A genus of very hardy Herbaceous perennials of more than ordinary merit. A 

 bed of these plants, when in full bloom in early summer, is one of the most 

 striking and pleasing sights one can imagine. So profusely do they bloom that 

 the plants are actually hidden beneath a great mass of flowers, which are borne 

 on long, wiry and graceful stems. The flowers are from 2 to 3 inches in diam- 

 eter, some of them even larger. White, pink and red are the predominating 



colors. They are especially valuable 



for cutting, ' the flowers retaining 



their freshness for a long time. Our 



list embraces twenty-five of the best 



new varieties imported from one 



of the large European growers of 



these plants. Each 25c; per doz. 



$2.50. 



P. Uliginosum (Giant Ox-Eye Daisy) — 4 to 5 feet, 

 September and October. This is indeed a mag- 

 nificent plant and one of the very finest for 

 the herbaceous border for supplying cut flow- 

 ers in the autumn. It forms a stout, 

 upright bush, bearing innumerable 

 large, pure white flowers. Each 15c; 

 per doz. $1.50. 



PANSIES. 

 These immensely popular little plants, 

 known and grown in the gardens of the 

 rich and poor alike for years without 

 number, need no introduction here. Suf- 

 fice to say that no plants in the garden 

 or border display so great a diversity and 

 range of color and markings and none 

 flower more profusely and satisfactorily. 

 Their culture in any good garden soil is 

 a matter of the most ordinary care. Un- 

 der generous treatment flowers of im- 

 mense size and wonderfully rich coloring 

 may be secured. We have for years 

 made a specialty of their culture, pro- 

 ducing fine plants in large quantities 

 from our, choicest strains of seed.

COLLECTION OP HARDY 

 PLANTS. 



Many of our customers, be- 

 ing unacquainted with the 

 varieties of Herbaceous Plants, 

 prefer to leave the selection to 

 us, merely stating the size of 

 the bed or border they wish 

 planted and its situation or 

 other useful details, in which 

 case we take pleasure in exer- 

 cising our best judgment in 

 selecting such kinds, as from 

 our experience we know to be 

 most suitable, and in estimat- 

 ing and sending the exact 

 number required to properly 

 plant the bed.
