) HBMH>Mlk\ 



Shasta Daisy Clifford E. White 

 CeraStiUITl (Snow in Summer) 



Tomentosum. A desirable low-grow- 

 ing plant with silvery foliage and 

 white flowers in June, suitable for the 

 rockery, or for carpeting dry, sunny 

 spots, or for covering graves. 25 cts. 

 each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Clmicif Uga (Snake Root) 

 Simplex. Most valuable by reason of 

 its extreme late flowering, beginning 

 in September and attaining full per- 

 fection about the middle of October. 

 Its flowering stems are from 2i to 3 

 feet high, terminated with a dense 

 spike of white flowers, which, when 

 cut, last in perfection a long time. 

 $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Racemosa. A handsome native species 

 bearing in July and August, spikes of 

 pure white flowers; well suited for 

 planting at the back of the border, 

 or for naturalizing at the edge of 

 the woods; 4 to 6 feet. 35 cts. each; 

 $3.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



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 

 8 to 10 inches high, of pretty dark green foliage, and in Septem- 

 ber 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 No- 

 vember. 



Shasta Daisy "Alaska." A decided improvement on the 

 original; with blooms 4 J to 5 inches across, of pure glistening 

 white. Very free-flowering and in bloom all summer and fall. 

 2 feet. 



Shasta Daisy Clifford E. White. The illustration opposite 

 conveys a good idea of the pretty graceful formation of this 

 charming new variety, the petals are quilled and deeply cleft 

 > or laciniated at the tips and of a glistening white. In habit of 

 growth and freedom of flowering it is similar to the variety 

 Alaska. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Glory of Wayside. The earliest to fl6wer, coming into bloom 

 in May with pure glistening white flowers, which are produced 

 in great profusion on symmetrical compact plants from 12 to 

 15 inches high. 

 Price. Except where noted, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; 



S15.00 per 100. 



Chelone (Turtle Head) 



Stately and handsome perennials, 

 growing about 2 feet high, and bearing 

 numerous spikes of large flower heads 

 during the summer and fall. 



Glabra alba. Terminal spikes of 

 creamy white flowers. 



Lyoni. Heads of showy purplish-red 

 wers. 

 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 



per 100. 



Cimicifuga Simplex 



Shrubby Clematis 



Davidiana. A most desirable variety, with fresh, bright green foliage and 

 tubular bell-shaped flowers of deep lavender blue during August and September, 

 deliciously fragrant; 2 to 3 feet. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

 August. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Recta. Grows from 2 to 3 feet high, and produces fragrant pure white flowers 

 in very large, showy clusters during June and July. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 

 CoilVallaria (Lily of the Valley) 



Majalis. This is often starved 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. We offer strong clumps, especially suited for outdoor planting. 

 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100. 



Convallaria (Lily of the Valley)
