HARDY PERENNIAL PIANTS 





THALICTRUM (Meadow Rue) 



Very graceful, pretty flowered plants, with fine cut foliace: great favorites for planting in the 



hardy border. 



Aquilegifolium Album. Elegant Columbine-like foliage and masses of feathery white flowers 

 during June and July. 3 feet. 



Aquilegifolium Atropurpureum. A rosy-purple flowered form of the above. 



Dipterocarpum. Though introduced some years ago, this beautiful species is yet but little 

 known. We consider it one of the real gems among hardy plants, not only for the garden but its 

 dainty, graceful sprays of flowers, elegantly arranged on stems 4 feet high, are invaluable for 

 cutting; the flowers are of charming shade of violet-mauve, which is brightened by a bunch of 

 lemon-yellow stamens and anthers. (See cut.) 



Glaucum. Fine cut glaucous foliage; bronzy-yellow flowers in June; 2 feet. 



Intermedium. Pale yellow flowers in July; 2 feet. 



Price. 30 cts. each; S2.50 per doz,; S18.00 per 100. Set of 5 sorts, $1.25. 



TRILLIUM (Wood Lily, or Wake Robin) 



Grandiflorum. Excellent plants for shady positions in the hardy border, or in a su 

 aquatic position. Large pure white flowers in early spring; 12 to 18 inches. 15 cts. eac 

 $1.50 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



TRITOMA (Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily) 



Pfitzerii {The Everblooming Flame Flower). The early free and continuous blooming 

 qualities of this variety has made it one of the great bedding plants, and when we con- 

 sider that there are few flowering plants which are suitable for massing under our 

 severe climatic conditions, it is little wonder that such an elegant subject should become 

 so popular. Succeeds in any ordinary garden soil, but responds quickly to liberal 

 treatment; hardy if given protection, but the most satisfactory method of wintering is 

 to bury the roots in sand in a tool cellar. In bloom from August to October, with spikes 

 3 to 4 feet high, and heads of bloom of a rich orange-scarlet, producing a grand effect 

 either planted singly in the border or in masses. (See cut.) 30 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Tritoma (Red-Hot Poker Plant) 



Th.^lictrum Dipterocarpum 



TROLLIUS (Globe Flower) 



Europaeus. Desirable free-flowering plants, producing their 

 giant bright yellow, Buttercup-like blossoms on stems 1 to 2 feet 

 high from May until August; succeed admirably in the border 

 in a half shady position in well drained preferably light soil. 

 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



TUNICA 



Saxifraga. A pretty tufted plant with light pink flowers; pro- 

 duced all summer, useful either for the rockery or the border. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.
