 Marshmallow or Rosemallow, in which not only the colors have 

 been greatly intensified, but in which flowers of enormous size, 

 frequently 10 to 12 inches in diameter, have been developed. 

 These plants can be highly recommended for all kinds of plantings. They 

 appear to be equally at home in all positions, having the same vigor in dry 

 and wet ground, and are perfectly hardy. They grow from 5 to 8 feet high, 

 and are very floriferous, blooming from early in July until late in September. 

 We offer three distinct colors — Red, Pink and White^in strong two-year-old 

 roots, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. One each of the 

 three colors for $1.00.

 position, but doing best in a damp place; grows 3 to 

 5 feet high, with large foliage and large, showy 

 fljwers of delicate coloring, produced during the en- 

 tire summer.

HYPERICUM (St. John's Wort) 



nioserianuni. A most desirable border plant, of 

 free and graceful habit, producing long, slender, 

 much-branched stems, leafy to the base and all 

 drooping towards the ends, apparently from the 

 weight of the flowers and buds, although the 

 flowers face, so none of their beauty is lost. It is 

 marvelously free-flowering, of large size, measur- 

 ing from 2 to 2§ inches in diameter; in color a rich 

 golden yellow, which is rendered still more effec- 

 tive by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and blooms conlinu
