beautiful hardy peren- 

 nial; with elegant Col- 

 umbine-like foliage and 

 masses of feathery white 

 flowers in June and 

 July; 3 feet 15 



4306 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 3 to 4 feet high, are invalu- 

 able for cutting; the flowers are 

 of charming shade of violet- 

 mauve, which is brightened by 

 a bunch of lemon-yellow stamens and anthers .$0 25

 situation; used extensively in hanging-baskets, vases, low fences, 

 etc., very pretty flowers in buff, white, orange, etc., with dark eyes; 

 mixed colors; 4 feet. (See cut.) i oz., 40 cts

4322 Fournieri. A very fine annual; a splendid plant for vases, hanging- 

 baskets, borders, etc.; covered the entire season with a mass of -bloom. 

 Sky-blue, with three spots of dark blue, bright yellow centre 15 



Tritoma 



(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, 

 or Torch Lily) 



PER PKT. 



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new contin- 

 uous flowering Tritomas has given them a 

 prominent place among hardy bedding 

 plants. It is not generally known that 

 they are readily grown from seed, many 

 flowering the first year if sown early. The 

 seed we offer has been saved from a col- 

 lection, which is undoubtedly one of the 

 finest in this country. Of course for im- 

 mediate results it will be better to get 

 plants, but raising them from seed is highly 

 interesting. J oz., 60 cts SO 15

 ennial plant, growing but a few inches
