HARDy PERENNIAL PIANTS 



mqiELPfMB, 



Gypsopkila Bristol Fairy 



GypSOphila (Baby's Breath) 



The Gypsophilas will thrive in any soil in a sunny position, 



and on account of their gracefully arranged large panicles of 



minute flowers should be in every garden. 



Bristol Fairy. An improvement on the well-known 

 double-flowering form Paniculata fl. pi., with larger purer 

 white flowers, and more or less perpetual flowering habit. 

 2 to 3 feet. Strong roots, 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 



Paniculata. This is the favorite old-fashioned single 

 flowering variety, a plant possessing a grace not found in 

 any other perennial. When in bloom during July and 

 August it forms a symmetrical mass 2 to 3 feet in height, 

 and as much through, of minute pure white flowers, form- 

 ing a beautiful gauze-like appearance. When cut it is 

 exquisite in combination with other flowers. 



Paniculata Flore Plena. The original double-flowering 

 form; the flowers of which are not only larger but of a 

 purer white than the single-flowering sort, these may be 

 cut and dried, retaining their beauty for many months; 

 a valuable subject for the hardy border. 50 cts. each; 

 85.00 per doz. 



Repens. An elegant trailing plant for the rockery, with 

 clouds of small white flowers in July and August.

ornamental Grasses. Its large silvery plumes are produced on stems 8 to 10 



feet high during the late summer and fall. This plant is well known to 



summer visitors to California where it is one of the features in many 



gardens. It can be grown equally well here and established plants can 



remain in the open ground if well protected. We offer extra strong plants 



of flowering size in 7 inch tubs, $2.50 each.
