PYRETHRUM ULIGIISOSUM 



STELLATUM. 



(Starry Giant Daisy.) 



3851 This new variety, which originated in our 

 Nursery, is a greatly improved form of the 

 Giant Daisy, and, like its parent, has flowers 

 of glistening white, but fully one-half larger, 

 with long, narrow petals, forming a much more 

 graceful and refined flower. The best and most 

 useful Daisy for cutting during August and 

 September. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



SALVIA ULIGINOSA. 



3930 A novelty in Hardy Perennials and one of the 

 most desirable introductions. In general habit 

 similar to Salvia Azurea Grandiflora but of 

 stronger growth, each plant forming a bushy 

 specimen from 5 to 6 feet high; wonderfully 

 free-flowering, blooming continuously from June 

 until frost. The flowers are a pretty cornflower 

 blue with a white throat, produced in branched 

 spikes about six inches long. Easily raised from 

 seed, flowering the first season if sown early. 

 See cut. 25 cts. per pkt. 



Scarlet Sage. Globe 



Salvia Uliginosa 



NEW SCARLET SAGE ' 

 GLOBE OF FIRE. 



3936 We have in the last few years tested over 

 a score of varieties of Scarlet Sage and 

 believed that the sorts which we offer on 

 page 110 covered the most desirable. In 

 this new variety, which was grown at our 

 Locust Farm Nursery the past season and 

 which was easily the most brilliant bit of 

 color among the acres of flowers grown 

 there, we have what is undoubtedly the 

 earliest, freest and most continuous bloomer 

 of all and, what is still more important, 

 the most uniform in habit of growth; the 

 bushy plants do not grow over 15 inches 

 high with the spikes of brilliant scarlet 

 flowers thrown well above the plant, 

 making a total height of about 2 feet, and 

 in the lines, several hundred feet in length, 

 there was not a variation cf an inch in the height of any plant, the im- 

 portance of this uniformity will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet 

 Sage for beds or borders. 



25 cts. per pkt; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



NEW COLORS OF STOKESIA. 



(Cornflower Asters.) 

 4060 The blue Stokesia Cyanea, although a native of the United States, was 

 practically unknown as a garden plant until the year 1903, when we illus- 

 trated it in colors on the cover of our Garden Book; and, as a result of our 

 efforts, it is now one of the popular hardy perennials. Some years later, 

 a white-flowered variety was discovered, and now we are able to offer a 

 mixture containing a number of rose shades, white and various shades of 

 blue and purple as well. These should prove highly interesting, and we 

 look forward to the time when this plant will be found in all gardens in a 

 great variety of colors.
