Anthericum LlLIASTRUM MAjnB 



Anemones 



(Windflowers) 

 Hupehensis. A perfect little gem 

 closely allied to Anemone Japonica 

 which in a miniature form it re- 

 sembles. The plant grows from 18 

 to 24 inches high and from early in 

 August until late in autumn pro- 

 duces an abundance of flowers about 

 1| inches in diameter, of a pleasing 

 mauve-rose. 30 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 

 100. 



Pulsatilla {Pasque Flower). 

 Grows from 9 to 12 inches 

 high and produces violet or 

 purple flowers during April 

 to May. An interesting 

 plant for the rockery or 

 well-drained border. 30 cts 

 each; §3.00 per doz. 



— Rubra. A dark red form of above. 

 30 cts. each; §3.00 per doz. 



Sylvestris {Snowdrop Winiflower). 

 Large nodding sweet scented flowers, 

 lavender-tinted white, solitary or 

 two together, pretty drooping buds 

 and finely cut foliage; prefers a 

 semi-shaded position. April to 

 May. 30 cts. each; §3.00 per doz. 



Anchusa Italica (Alkanet or Bugloss) 



Dropmore Variety. This improved Alkanet justly takes a front rank among early 

 summer flowering perennials. The rich gentian-blue tones of its flowers fill a vacancy 

 in this color, of which there is never a superabundance, particularly during their 

 flowering period which covers May and June. It forms much branched specimens 

 3 to 5 feet high, each branch terminated by a large pyramidal, graceful spike, and 

 while the plants are strong and vigorous they are not at all coarse. Of easy culture 

 in any good garden soil and a sunny position. Very effective either in solid beds 

 or in the hardy border. 25 cts. each; §2.50 per doz.; §18.00 per 10~0. 



Anchusa Myosotidiflora 



An entirely different and distinct dwarf species from the Caucasian Mountains grow- 

 ing but 10 to 12 inches high, producing during April and May sprays of beautiful Forget- 

 me-not-like flowers of a rich hue. 35 cts. each; §3.50 per doz.; §25.00 per 100. 



AnthemiS (Marguerite) 



TillCtoria. This hardy Marguerite is one of the most satisfactory summer-flowering 

 perennials succeeding in the poorest soil; of bushy habit, growing about 15 inches 

 high, and producing its large, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers continuously during 

 the entire summer. 



— Alba. Creamy-white flowers with yellow centre. , 



25 cts. each; §2.50 per doz.; §15.00 per 100. 



Anthericiim (St. Bruno's Lily) 



Liliastrum Major. A charming border plant with rush- 

 like foliage and 18 to 24 inch high racemes of small 

 white lily-like flowers during July and August. 35 cts. 

 each; §3.50 per doz. 



ArabiS (Rock Cress) 

 Alpina. One of the most desir- 

 able of the very early spring- 

 flowering plants that is especially 

 adapted for edging and for the 

 rock garden, but does equally 

 well in the border, forming a 

 dense carpet of pure white 

 flowers. It is nice for cutting, 

 and lasts for a long time in 

 bloom. 25 cts. each; §2.50 per 

 doz.; §15.00 per 100.
