LITHOSPERMUM PROSTRATUM 

 "HEAVENLY BLUE.''

 rock-plants, which succeeds admirably under our trying climatic conditions, 

 producing its pretty, small flowers continuously from May to September. 

 50 cts. each. 



LUPINUS POLYPHYLLUS MOERHEIMI. 



The European introducer of this plant, to whom we are indebted for 

 many of our good hardy plants, in speaking of this new Lupine, says that 

 it is one of the finest novelties in hardy plants he ever introduced, and we feel 

 justified in adding that among the new perennials which we have tried 

 none gave us more pleasure. The habit of the plant is robust, forming 

 symmetrical specimens 3 feet high, with spikes of flowers over a foot long, 

 in color superb, being a combination of light and dark shades of pink with- 

 out a trace of magenta. 35 cts. each; $ 4.00 per doz.

Phlox divaricata canadensis 

 offered and illustrated on page 

 233 has long been a favorite 

 plant for the border and rockery, 

 and deservedly so, it being 

 a free-flowering, showy plant, 

 adapting itself to almost any soil

 we have a great improvement, the 

 plant being more robust, the flowers 

 considerably larger and of a more in- 

 tense shade of blue. 25 cts. each; $2.50

 blue flowers; very desirable. 50 cts. each.

 the Giant Daisy, and, like its parent, has flowers of glistening white, but fully 

 one-half larger, with long, narrow petals, forming a much more graceful and 

 refined flower. The best and most useful Daisy for cutting during August and 

 September. (See cut.) 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.
