 2 feet high and succeeding in any soil in a sunny position; 

 beginning to flower in June, they continue the entire season. 

 The large flowers are of gorgeous coloring. The centre is dark 

 red-brown, while the petals are marked with rings of brilliant 

 crimson, orange and vermilion, and often a combination of all in 

 one flower; excellent for cutting. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.;

 $3.50 per doz. 



GypsOphila (Baby's Breath) 



The Gypsophilas will thrive in any soil in a sunny posi- 

 tion, and on account of their gracefully arranged large 

 panicles of minute flowers should be in every garden. 



Acutifolia. Grows 3 feet high with masses of small white flowers 

 in feathery panicles during July and August; fine for cutting. 



Paniculata. A beautiful old-fashioned plant, possessing a grace 

 not found in any other perennial. When in bloom during July 

 and August it forms a symmetrical mass 2 to 3 feet in height, 

 and as much through, of minute pure white flowers, forming a 

 beautiful gauze-like appearance. When cut it is exquisite in 

 combination with other flowers. 



Paniculata Flore Plena. A beautiful double flowering form; 

 the flowers are not only larger but of a purer white; these may 

 be cut and dried, retaining their beauty for many months; a 

 valuable subject for the hardy border. 50 cts. each; $5.00 

 per doz. 



Repens. An elegant trailing plant for the rockery, with clouds 

 of small white flowers in July and August.

Price, except where noted. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 

 per 100. 



New Gaillardia, Portola 



We consider this novel variety, one of the most valuable perennial plant 

 introductions in many years. The plant, unlike the usual type, which is 

 inclined to be somewhat straggly, is of strong, vigorous, upright habit of 

 growth, 2? to 3 ft. high, with heavy, leathery, glaucous foliage; the long 

 flower stems straight and strong, hold the massive flowers erect. These are 

 of extraordinary size, from 3^ to 4 inches and over in diameter; the petals 

 very broad, overlapping, of great substance, and spread out flat, forming a 

 very symmetrical flower. In color, a brilliant, rich coppery-scarlet, each 

 petal heavily tipped or margined with golden yellow — altogether a wonderful 

 improvement over existing sorts, and valuable alike as a flower for the 

 garden and for cutting. Strong young plants that will bloom freely this 

 season. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



Gentiana 



Andrewsi (Blue Gentian). This is our native species, flowers beautiful deep 

 blue, August and September; grows about 2 ft. high and requires rich 

 moist soil. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



Geranium (Crane's Bill) 



Sanguineum. A desirable plant; with pretty cut foliage and bright 

 crimson flowers; blooms the entire season; 18 inches. 



Sanguineum Album. A white flowered form of the above. 

 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Gypsophila Paniculata Fl. Pl,
