CT-Tv-sl-r-' 5 ^ 



AGERATHM MEXICANUM. 



AGERATUM. 



Whether grown for summer flowers, or used for winter 

 blooming, this indispensable plant keeps up an almost 

 constant succession of bloom from early summer until 

 the ensuing early spring. It has the further merit of 

 being of the easiest culture. Half-hardy Annuals. 



Ageratum Klexicanum, Lavender blue, 2 ft 5 



Nanuni. Dwarf blue variety 5 



Album, White, 15 in ....10 



N a nu in. Dwarf white, 8 in 10 



Lasseauxii. Rose-colored, 15 In 10 



ALYSSUM. 



Seedsmen, perhaps, sell more seed of Sweet Alyssum 

 than of any other annual grown. Whether used for 

 summer blooming or for flowering in fall and winter 

 in the parlor or greenhouse, its easy culture, and the 

 delicate honey -like fragrance of its flowers, so much 

 prized in bouquets and baskets, render it most un- 

 likely that this old favorite will be ever cast aside. 



Alyssum, Sweet. Flowers white. Hardy Annual. 5 



Saxatile Conipacta. Showy Yellow. Hardy 



Perennial 10 



Wiersbeckii. White and yellow. Hardy Peren- 



nial 10 



AMMOBIUM. 



A leading everlasting flower. There is only one known 

 species, that named below, which bears a white flower 

 an inch in diameter. Hardy Annual. 



Aminobium Alatiim. 2 "ft. 5 



ANAGALLIS. 



Similar in habit of growth to the Aubrietia, and it will 

 be found equally as useful in rock-work or borders, 

 where low-growing plants are mostly used. Half- 

 hardy Annuals. 

 •Anagallis Sangulnea. Ruby red, }■£ ft 10 



Per Pkt. 

 Anagallis Grandiflora Coerulea. Large sky- 

 blue flowers, y 3 ft 10 



AMARANTHUS TRICOLOR. 



AMARANTHUS. 



Plants grown exclusively for their foliage, and in late 

 summer and early fall, when they have reached their 

 fullest development, 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 intended for bedding-out pur- 

 poses, for which, as we have just said, they are unsur- 

 passed. Being tender annuals, they should never, in 

 this latitude, be planted out before May 15th. Half- 

 hardy Annuals. 

 A ma ran t li us Atropurpureus. Blood red foliage, 



drooping flower spikes ; fi ft io 



BIcolor Ruber. Foliage green and dark red, 



tipped with yellow ; 3 to 5 ft io 



Henderi. One of our newer varieties, presenting 



in its beautiful leaf-markings a range of color not 



often seen 15 



Melancliolicus Ruber. Foliage blood red 10 



Salicilolius (Fountain Plant). This magnificent 



variety attains a height of from four to six feet, 

 with gracefully drooping willow-shaped leaves. 

 In the later stages of growth the leaves are bril- 

 liantly banded and tipped with orange, carmine 



and bronze 10 



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



green 5 



ANCHUSA. 



One of the few plants that will do well in shaded situa- 

 tions, 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. 

 Inch 11 sa Italica (Italian Alkanet). Blue, 2 ft 5 



ANEMONE. 



The best of this class that can be raised from seed is 

 A. Coronaria, a very pleasing hardy perennial, flow- 

 ering 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 Coronaria (Poppy Anemone). Mixed 

 colors, as above, 1 ft 10 



ANGELONIA. 



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

 house 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 Grandiflora. Described above... 25 



— Atropurpurea. (See Novelties) 50 



ANTIRRHINUM MAJUS (Snap Dragon). 



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

 unsurpassed for summer and fall flowering. Of late 

 years there is scarcely a limit to the numberless 

 varieties produced. The strains we sell are particu- 

 larly fine, and will fairly vie with the Carnation in tho 

 variety of their stripes and spots. Perennials. 

 Antirrhinum Majus Tarn Thumb. Dwarf- 

 growing, 1 ft 5 



Fine Mixed. From our named collection.
