HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS (Shasta Daisy, etc.) 

 Arcticum (The Arctic Daisy). Among fall-flowering perennials this is a perfect 



gem. It forms an attractive rosette-like clump of pretty dark green foliage, and 



in September multitudes of flower stems appear, terminated by pure white 



flowers from 2 to 2| inches in diameter. These begin to develop during the last 



week in September, and continue in good condition throughout October, and 



frequently into November. 

 Shasta Daisy "Alaska." A decided improvement on the original; with blooms 



4^ to 5 inches across, of pure glistening white. Very free-flowering and in bloom 



all summer and fall. (See cut.)

glistening white flowers, which are produced in great profusion on symmetrical 



compact plants from 12 to 15 inches high.

 Price. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. Set of 3 sorts for $1.00. 



CONVALLARIA (Llly 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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 

 per doz.; $40.00 per 100.

 late in autumn. See page 167.
