Undulatum. 



Hardy Fern, Scolopendrium Officinarum 



GENISTA TINCTORIA 

 FL. PE. 



A double-flowering Broom growing about 

 2 feet high and producing masses of pretty 

 double yellow flowers in May and June. 

 While an excellent subject for the hardy 

 border, it is especially valuable as a rock 

 plant. 35 cts. each. 



GENTIANA SCABRA 

 BUERGERI. 



A perfectly hardy Japanese species of the 

 blue Gentian, which comes into bloom in 

 October and continues in good condition 

 throughout November. Its large heads of 

 fresh blue flowers attract much attention at 

 a season when there are but few outdoor 

 flowers. 75 cts. each. 



New Ornamental Grass. 



EUEAEIA JAPOISICA 

 ZEBRINA STRICT A. 



Identical to the well-known hardy Zebra 

 grass except in habit of growth, which is Gypsophila paniculata F 



more erect on account of which the transverse variegation of yellow and green 

 appears more pronounced. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



THREE HANDSOME HELENIEMS. 



(Sneeze-worts.) 



Riverton Gem. A variety that originated with us. Of strong growth, 2\ to 

 3 feet high. Covered from August to October with brilliant old-gold suffused 

 with bright terra-cotta flowers, changing as they mature to a wallflower red. 



Riverton Beauty. Another variety which originated with us, and which is 

 entirely distinct, the flowers being of a rich lemon-yellow, with a large cone 

 of purplish-black, the two colors forming a most pleasing combination. The 

 plant is of strong, vigorous growth, attaining a height of 3 to 4 feet, and a 

 most profuse bloomer. 



Autumnale Rubrum. Another splendid variety, the flowers of which are 

 a bright terra-cotta throughout without suffusion of any other color. Very 

 effective; 4 to 4 \ feet. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz, 



HEMEROCAEEIS AND HOLLYHOCKS. 



We feature these two fine old-fashioned hardy plants this season, offering a 

 very select list of both. For illustrations and descriptions see pages 222 and 223. 



RARE HART'S-TONGUE FERNS. 



The common English Hart's-tongue Fern Scolopendrium offi- 

 cinarum is a well-known and much-admired hardy plant, which 

 may be grown in a shady, well-drained, moist corner of the garden, 

 where few other plants would succeed. We offer this, as well as 

 three most interesting varieties, which must be seen to be appre- 

 ciated. 

 Scolopendrium officinarum. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz, 



Digitate cristatum. Ends of fronds much branched 1 



and crested. 



flarginatum. Edges of the fronds deeply serrated. 



Undulatum. Fronds beautifully waved and crested. 



Price, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz,, except where noted. One 

 each of the 4 sorts, $1.50. 



Gypsophila Paniculata Fl. PI. 



(Double-flowering Baby's Breath,) 



The single-flowering form has always been a favorite, its misty 

 bloom being indispensable in a naturally-arranged bunch of 



flowers. Add to this the 

 pretty little double rosette- 

 like flowers of this new va- 

 riety, which are produced in 

 much-branched panicles, 3 to 

 3^ feet high, and we have a 

 plant not only valuable for 

 cutting — as it can be cut and 

 dried, retaining its beauty 

 for months in this shape — 

 but a most desirable addi- 

 tion to the hardy border. 

 (See cut,) 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.
