ADLUMIA. 



Per Plcl. 



An attractive climbing plant with pale green foliage, bearing 



small flesh-colored blossoms. Harly h ni i m'. . /ii^—^4^ 

 Vdliuiiia Cirrhosa (Mountain Fringe). Flesh white, 



15 ft 10 



— ^.^J^'Kfff^^^^ 



Ageratum Mexicahum. 



'AGERATUM. 



■Whether grown for summer flowers, or used for winter bloom- 

 ing, this indispensable plant keeps up an almost constant 

 succession of bloom from early summer until the ensuing 

 early epring. It has the further merit of being of the easiest 

 culture. Ha'f-hardy Annuals. 



Ageratum Mexicantim. Lavender blue, 2 ft 5 



Nanum, Dwarf blue variety 5 



Album. White, 15 in 10 



Haiimii. Dwarf white, 8 in 10 



La.ssea.uxii. Rose-colored, 15 in 10 



^^csl^&^u^ ALYSSUM. 



Seedsmen, perhaps, sell more seed of Sweet Alyssum than of 

 any other annual grown. Whether used for summer bloom- 

 ing or for flowering in fall and winter in the parlor or green- 

 house, its easy culture, the delicate honey-like fragrance of 

 its flowers, so much prized in bouquets aid baskets, renders 

 it most unlikely that this old favorite will be ever cast aside. 



Alyssum Sweet. Flowers white. Hard / Annua' 5 



Saxatile Compacts. Showy yellow. Hardy Peren- 



nial 10 



Wiersbecliii. White and yellow. Hardy P.rennial. .10 



C^u^/i^ll^J AMMOBIUM. 



A leading everlasting flower. There is only one known 

 species, that named below, which bears a white flower an 

 inch in diameter. Hardy Annua'. 



Ammobium Ala turn. 2 ft 5 



^^uj+a^ ANAGALLIS. 



Similar in habit of growth to the Au'riil'a, and it will be 

 found equally as useful in rock-work or borders, where low- 

 growing plants are mostly used. Haf-iwrJy Annua's. 



Per Pkt. 

 Anagallis Cirandiflora C'oerulea. Large sk3-blue 



flowers, \4 f t 10 



Sanguinea. Euby red, ; 2 ft 10 



£/fW^VT~A~vt<£-£ 



Amabanthus Tricolor. 



AMARANTHUS. 



Plants grown exclusively for their foliage, and in late summer 

 and early fall, when they have reached their fullest develop- 

 ment, the glowing effect produced by their mass of rich 

 foliage is scarcely equaled by any similar class of plants. 

 They are useless, however, as pot plants, being only in- 

 tended for bedding-out purposes, for which, a3 we have just 

 said, they are unsurpassed. Being tender annuals, they 

 should never, in this latitude, be planted out before May 

 15th. Ha'f-hardy Annua's. 



Aniaranthiis Atropurpureiis. Blood red foliage, 



drooping flower spikes; 6 ft 10 



■ Bicolor Ruber. Foliage green and dark red, tipped 



with yellow; 3 to 5 ft 10 



Henderi. One of our newer varieties, presenting in its 



beautiful leaf-markings a range of color not often 

 seen I 5 



Melancholicus Ruber. Foliage blood red 10 



Salicifolim (Fountain Plant). This magnificent va- 



riety attains a height of from four to six feet, with 

 gracefully drooping willow-shaped leaves. In the 

 later stages of growth the leaves are brilliantly 

 banded and tipped with orange, carmine andbronze.10 



Tricolor (Joseph's Coat). Leaves red, yellow and green. 5 



ANCHUSA. 



One of the few plants that will do well in shaded situations, 

 and will therefore be found valuable for city yards or 

 other locations where the sun only strikes at certain times 

 in the day. Hardy Perennial. 



Anchusa Italic a (Italian Alkanet). Blue, 2 ft 5 



tft^-tu^U*^ ANEMONE. 



The best of this class that can be raised from seed is A. Goro- 

 nar'a, a very pleasing hardy perennial, .flowering in early 

 spring. Flowers are large, running through various shades 

 of scarlet, purple, blue, white and striped, and quite often 

 will be found varieties with an eye of a different hue from 

 the rest of the flower. 



Anemone C'orouaria (Poppy Anemone). Mixed colors, as 



above, lft 1° 



ANGELONIA. 



Equally desirable as a pot-plant for the parlor or greenhouse 

 in winter or for outside planting in spring. It forms a plant 

 18 inches high, terminated by long spikes of cup-shaped 

 fragrant flowers, in color bright scarlet spotted with white. 

 Although a perennial, it flowers the first season sown. 



Angelonia Grandinora. Described above 25 



Atropurpurea. (See Novelties) 50 



**ANTrRJRHINTJM MAJTJS (Snap Dragon\ 



One of our favorite plants, of the easiest culture, and unsur- 

 passed for summer and fall flowering. Of late years there is 

 scarcely a limit to the numberless varieties produced. The 

 strains we sell are particularly fine, and will fairly vie with 

 the Carnation in the variety of their stripes and spots. 

 Permnia's.
