P/EONIES. 



CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES. 



No class of plants is more easily grown than Paonies, and few repay the 

 care given thsm so generously. They are perfectly hardy and thrive in al- 

 most any soil, but any extra attention given them will be amply repaid; 

 deeply cultivated and well enriched loam suits them best. In shady places, 

 where few plants will succeed, Pseonies will grow luxuriantly. Such spots 

 are usually to be found, and the colors of the flowers are brighter and they 

 last much longer than if fully exposed to the sun. The plants, however, 

 thrive equally as well in sunny situations, and planted in front of shrubbery 

 or on either side of walks they are very effective. Our collection embraces 

 many new and handsome sorts.

PYRETHRUM. 



NEW IMPORTED HYBRIDS. 



A genus of very hardy Herbaceous perennials of more than ordinary merit. A bed of these 

 plants, when in full bloom in early summer, is one of the most striking and pleasing sights one 

 can imagine. So profusely do they bloom that theplants are actually hidden beneath a great 

 mass of flowers, which are borne on long, wiry and graceful stems. The flowers *re from 2 to 

 3 inches in diameter, some of them even larger. White, pink aud red are the predominating 

 colors. They are especially valuable for cutting, the flowers retaining their freshness for a 

 longtime. Our list embraces twenty-five of the best new varieties imported from one of the 

 large European growers of these plants. Each, 25 cts.; per doz., 82.E0. 



GIANT OX-EYE DAISY.

 and bearing a profusion of choice pure white flowers with bright yellow centers. The flowers 

 measure from 2 to 3 inches across, and are borne on large, flat cymes. Each individual flower 

 has a good stem, admirably adapting it for cutting purposes. See our colored illustration on 

 front cover page. This is a worthy companion to the Golden Glow Rudbeckia. 



Each, 25 cts.; per doz., $2.50. 



NEW DOUBLE GOLDEN RUDBECKIA 



"GOLDEN GLOW." 



This new variety, which we catalogued for the first time last season, proved so handsome a 

 plant in our herbaceous border that in order to display one of its many merits we have this 

 season given an illustration of the flower on the front cover of our catalogue. The plant grows 

 six to seven feet in height, is strong and self-supporting, and bears long, strong stemmed, very 

 large and very double golden-yellow flowers in great profusion, admirably adapted for cutting
