Plants as worthy of 
special mention, they are easily raised from seed and when once established 
are good for any number of years without further care, requiring only a slight 
FROM SEED. 
We have selected the following 
protection of rotten manure or leaves during the winter. No garden border 
is complete without a few of these beautiful hardy plants, which make a grand 
show when planted in clumps. : 
COLUMBINE (AQUILEGIA) CHOICE MIXED—A very popular border plant of + 
the easiest cultivation. It is amongst the earliest in flowering and produces 
a wealth of blooms in many varied beautiful colorings. Pkt, 5c, . 
HARDY LARKSPUR (Delphinium Grandifiorum Mixed)—In this superb strain 
of Hardy Larkspur which we have saved from our own collection of named 
Hybrids, many of which we have imported at a considerable expense, we. 
claim to be sending out the finest seed that can be obtained. The plants 
are strong growing and when well established throw. spikes of blooms 2 feet 
long, mostly in shades of .blue. fy SSS - 
and lilac. Sow seed in pots in 
March or April and when large 
enough transplanted to their 
flowering quarters. Our superb 
strain contains double semi- 
doubles and singles in mixture.

Platycodon Grandifiorum (Chinese 
Bell Flower)—An exceedingly 
attractive hardy border plant 
growing to a height of 3 feet. 
The flowers are bell shaped of 
a beautiful blue color, blooming 
continuously all summer. A 
very handsome plant. Pkt. 10c. 
STOKESIA CYANEA (Stoke’s Aster)—One of the 
most useful perennial plants in cultivation, 
either for the herbaceous border or for plant- 
ing among shrubs, where it has a most charm- 
ing effect. It begins to bloom during July 
when the majority of hardy plants are past 
flowering, producing in great abundance its 
large, showy Aster-like deep blue flowers, 
which are valuable for cutting. It is of the 
easiest culture, blooming the first year from 
seed,and succeeding in any open sunny situa- 
tion. Pkt. 10c.
