Ajuga Metallica Crispa. 
This novelty excited the admiration of all visitors 
40 our grounds. It is distinguished by most pe- 
culiarly curled foliage, distinctly observable in the 
illustration. The very dwarf, regular, compact habit 
in combination with the curious and beautiful struc- 
ture of the dark green leaves with a metallic gloss, 
and the short pyramidal-shaped flower-stalk closely 
set with small flowers of a beautiful ultramarine-blue, 
give a charming appearance to the plant. Wonderful 
effects are obtained with this novelty in forming 
carpet-beds, borders, etc., especially when in bloom. 
Height of plant and flower-stalk about 4 to 5 inches. 
The seed is sown in pots or in the frame, the seedlings 
transferred to small pots, and later on planted in the 
garden at a distance of from 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Comes quite true from seed. (See cut.).......... Pkt. 25 
NEW ANEMONES. 
“‘$t. Brigid.’’ These beautiful Irish Poppy-flowered 
varieties produce in abundance large, single, semi- 
double and sometimes double flowers of an endless 
variety of colors, from maroon and brightest scar- 
let to flesh pink and from lilac to purple. Some are 
mottled, striped,ringed,ete. Some of them measure 
from 3 to 5 inches across. For cutting they are 
unsurpassed, and in the garden they flower until 
after frost. Sown early they will flower the same 
season, and being hardy will flower even more pro- 
fusely the second year and afterward.......... Pkt. 15
