L,upinus Polyphyllus Moerheimi, 



Tlie European introducer of this plant, to whom we are in- 

 debted for many of our good hnrdy 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 all the new perennials which we had on trial the past 

 summer none gave us so much pleasure. The Jiabit of the plant is 

 robust, forming very symmetrical specimens 2-} to 3 feet high, with 

 spikes of flowers over a foot long, in color simply superb, being 

 a combination of light and dark shades of pink difficult to de- 

 scribe, and without a trace of magenta, which is present in all 

 other varieties of Lupine. $L00 each ; $10.00 per doz. 



NEW^ MONTBRETIAS. 



The three varieties offered below are grand additions to our 

 list of summer-flowering bulbs; quite hardy with protection. 



America. Not a large flower, but opening many of its blos- 

 soms at the same time, which makes it very attractive ; color 

 deep orange-yellow with dark red centre. 



Qeo. Davison, Flower stems 3 feet high; the flowers, which 

 are very large and open out flat, are neatly disposed on the 

 spike, so that each flower is seen at once; in color they are of 

 a glistening orange-yellow. 



Martagon. The flowers of this charming variety are also very 

 lart;e and of an effective dark orange with dark red centre; the 

 petals are gracefully recurved, resembling in miniature the 

 Turk's Cap Lily. 



15 cts. each; ^].50 per doz, 



OROBUS SUPERBUS. 



A comparatively little known spring-flowering plant, closely al- 

 lied to the Vetches, and which is worthy of extended cultivation. 

 It makes an excellent subject either for the rockery or for the mixed 

 border, forming erect sha])ely plants about 12 inches high, which, 

 during May and June, are covered with jiea-shaped flowers of 

 good size of a bright mauve color. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



LupiNUs Polyphyllus Moekheimi. 



PHEOX AMCENA FOEIA VARIEGATA. 



The ordina::y P. nmann, with its green foliage and bright pink flowers, is 

 one of our best plants for carpeting the ground, the rockery or the border. In 

 this new variety we have the addition of prettily variegated green and white 

 leaves, which will add to its value for any purpose. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz. 



TWO NE^W RUDBECKIAS (Cone rioters). 



Rays of Gold. We believe we are right in saying that Rudbeckia Golden 

 Glow can be found in more gardens than any one other hardy plant, the 

 wide distribution which this plant has had since its introduction being 

 phenomenal. In this new variety w-e have an improved, or rather a refined, 

 form of Golden Glow, the flower having the same golden color, but with 

 narrower petals, which are so arranged that the flower is full to the centre 

 and forms a perfect globe ; a decided improvement on the flat flowers of the 

 old sort. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Nitida, Autumn Sun, A single-flowering sort, an improvement on Autumn 

 Glory, i's flowers being far more showy. It has longer, broader petals of a 

 bright primrose-yellow, and attracted much attention in our trial grounds 

 the past season, and is certain to become popular. It grows 5 to 6 feet 

 •high, and produces its flowers lavishly from August to October. 25 cts. 

 «ach ; $2.50 per doz.
