 of "the horticultural world. The color also is fine, being a deep rose pink charmingly 

 emphasized by a pure white center. Pkt. 20c. 



SWEET PEAS, EARLY SONG BIRD. 



EREMURUS, Gold Medal Hybrids — Eremurus or Hardy Foxtail Lilies are becoming 

 known as among the most desirable and stately plants for the hardy perennial 

 boraer. The flowers in long terminal racemes are produced in early summer, when 

 established plants, rearing many-colored flower-stalks 6 to 10 feet above the ground, 

 surmounted by spikes of flowers sometimes 4 feet in length, afford a most striking 

 spectacle. They remain in bloom for a month. Hybridizing covering a period of 

 20 years has resulted in producing many new color forms, perfectly hardy and 



' thriving best in full sunshine and good, medium heavy soil. Once established will 

 go on for years improving and increasing. The seedlings when large enough should 

 be planted where they can remain permanently undisturbed. Pkt. 25c. 



GEXJM COCCINEUM, Mrs. Bradshaw — A fine hardy border plant, producing large, 

 double, brilliant scarlet flowers, appearing early in the summer and continuing into 

 the fall. Very desirable. Height 1% feet. Pkt. 15c. 



NEW GLADIOLUS "JUNE"— This new variety produces one of the finest formed 

 spikes of any variety we know of. The color is white with a mottling of pink and 



varies more or less in every spike, but 

 always in a most pleasing way. See 

 illustration on page 80. Prices of 

 bulbs as follows: Each 25c; per doz. 

 $2.75; per 100 $18.00. 



OENOTHERA RUBRICALYX — Even- 

 ing Primrose, "California." A new 

 form from the grounds of the Univer- 

 sity of California, which difl'ers from 

 other Evening Primroses in having 

 striking dark red buds, contrasting 

 beautifully with the bright yellow 

 petals. The top of the stem is also 

 red, giving the plant a remarkably 

 ornate appearance in the garden 

 Pkt. 15c. 



SALVIA, OSTRICH PLUME — Ostrich 

 Plume, as its name implies, bears im- 

 mense plume-like spikes or heads 

 often six inches through, the individ- 

 ual flowers nearly double the usual 

 size. Pkt. 15e.
