Convallaria (Lily of the Valley) 



Majalis. This is often starved and neglected and relegated to 

 some poor, out-of-the-way corner; but this popular and fragrant 

 subject, like most other plants, repays for being well treated, 

 and if the bed is given a liberal top-dressing of well-decayed 

 manure in fall or early spring it will show the effect by increased 

 size, number and vigor of the flowers. The stock we offer is 

 strong clumps, especially suited for outdoor planting. 60 cts. 

 each; $6.00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100.

 September numerous small pink flowers; useful in border or

Dreer's Gold Medal Hybrid Delphinium 



Delphinium (Hardy Larkspurs) 



These are deservedly one of the most popular subjects in the 



hardy border; of easiest culture; perfectly hardy. They wiU 



establish themselves in almost any garden soil, but respond quickly 



to liberal treatment. 



Belladonna. The freest and most continuous blooming of all, 

 never being out of flower from the end of June until cut down 

 by hard frost. The clear turquoise-blue of its flowers is not 

 equalled for delicacy and beauty by any other flower. 



Bellamosum. This is a dark blue form of the popular light blue 

 Belladonna, with which it is identical in habit of growth, free- 

 dom of bloom and other good qualities, but with intensely rich, 

 deep blue flowers. 



Chinense. A very pretty dwarf species, with fine feathery 

 foliage and intense gentian-blue flowers in open panicles. 



— Album. A pure white form of the above. 



Formosum. The old favorite dark blue with white centre; 3 to 

 4 feet high. Very vigorous, and one of the best. 



Dreer's Gold Medal Hybrids. Unquestionably the finest 

 strain of mixed hybrids offered. The original stock came from 

 England, and consisted of the best-named varieties. The plants 

 are of strong, vigorous habit, with large flowers on spikes two 

 feet and over long, the majority running in the lighter shades of 

 blue. We can supply them in mixture only. 



Price. Any of the above, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 

 per 100. Set of 6 sorts, $1.25.
