DOUBLE RED DAISY, " Eongfellow." 



This chai-ming little hardy plant, with its wealth of dark red 

 blossoms, deep green buds and glossy leaves, makes an unusually 

 attractive appearance when set out in borders, where there is 

 partial shade, on graves in cemeteries, or in any situation where 

 a low growing, hardy plant is desired.

variety is indispensable. Price, 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per dozen;

 Double Mixed Daisies. Shades of red, pink and white. Price, 



10 cts. each ; $1.00 per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



Eulalia Spaeillima. 



A grand hardy plant. Foliage very narrow and of a beauti- 

 ful green color, midrib silvery white. This variety is not only 

 very useful as a hardy plant, but also ■eery desirable for vases or 

 pot plants for decorative purposes, being even more beautiful than 

 ■'Dracena Indivisa,"' and much more cheaply grown, as it is per- 

 fectly hardy, standing our severe winters without protection. We 

 believe this to be one of the most valuable hardy plants in 

 existence. (See cut.) Strong roots, $1.00> each; $9.00 per dozen. 

 Eulalia Japonica Zebrina. Unlike all other variegated plants, 

 this has its striping or marking across the leaf, instead of longi- 

 tudinally. It grows from 5 to 7 feet in height, forming a most 

 striking and graceful plant. Entirely hardy. 1st size, 50 cts. 

 each, $4.50 per dozen ; 2d size, 30 cts. each, $3.00 per dozen. 

 Eulalia Japonica Var. An older variety than the Eulalia Japonica 

 Zebrina. Leaves striped white and green longitudinally. Next 

 to the ab<">ve, the most ornamental of all hardy classes. The 

 flower spikes of both are valuable for parlor ornaments; will 

 keep for years. 1st size, 50 cts. each, $4.f per dozen ; 2d size, 

 25 cts. each, $2.25 per dozen. Set of three Eulalias, 1st size, 

 $1.50 ; 2d size, $1.00.
