This new type is the result of crossing A. Davidii with A. Japonica 

 eompacta, astilboides and Thunbevgi. The plants are of very vigorous 

 growth, 2k to -t feet high, producing many-branched, feathered heads of 

 flowers. They prefer a half-shady, moist position in any ordinary garden 

 soil.

 with peculiar siivery sheen. 



Juno. Strong, upright grower; plumes of a deep violet-rose color. 



Fink Pearl. Dense pyramidal panicles of small pearl-like flowers of 

 delicate light pink. 



Salmon Queen. Much-branched, graceful panicles of a beautiful sal- 

 mon-pink. 



Venus. Similar to Ceres, but of bright, deep violet-rose color. 



Vesta. Very graceful plumes of light lilac-rose. 



50 cts. each. One each of the 6 sorts for $2. 50. 



CARLINA 

 ACANTHIFOLIA. 



A beautiful mountain thistle, and an 

 interesting plant, especially useful for a 

 sunny rockery. It forms a rosette of 

 large silvery-grey foliage, the centre of 

 which is crowned with a large, spiny, 

 silvery, thistle-like, stemless flower fully 

 6 inches across. 50 cts. each. 



NEW PEONIES. 



We offer a select list of these 

 on page 229. 



Ostrich Plume Shasta Daisy. 



New r>HLrniNiuM. 



Astilbe Arendsi. 



Clematis Recta Fl. PI. 



Identical to the beautiful single-flowering 

 type offered on page 212, except that the 

 flowers are double and larger. We con- 

 sider this one of the most desirable peren- 

 nials in our collection, and although intro- 

 duced more than ten years ago, this plant is 

 seldom offered for sale, owing to its being 

 difficult to propagate. We offer strong 

 plants at $1.00 each. 



NEW SHASTA DAISY

This Ostrich Plume Daisy, as it has very 

 appropriately been named, is a semi-double 

 form of Burbank's famous Shasta Daisy, with long, glistening, pure white petals. 

 The flowers are of large size, and, on established plants, may be cut with stems 24 

 inches long. 



Of strong, vigorous habit, perfectly hardy, and remarkably free-flowering, com- 

 mencing to bloom early in June and continuing throughout the season until severe 

 frost. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



THREE GRAND NEW DELPHINHMS. 



Hybridum noerheimi. This is the first really white hybrid Delphinium intro- 

 duced, and is a decided acquisition. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, 5 feet 

 high, the lateral or side shoots 2i feet high. The flowers are of purest white, with- 

 out the slightest shading; a free and continuous bloomer from June till frost. Stock 

 limited. $2.50 each. 



Belladonna flessen. A variety of the beautiful Relladonna in which the coloring 

 is a more intense blue; flowers fully 1A inches across. 75 cts. each.

 large size. 75" cts. each.
