NEW ANCHUSA ITAEICAS. 



(The Improved Italian Alkanet or Bugloss.) 



Although introduced only a few years ago the two Anchusas offered below 

 have already become very popular. The rich blue tones of their flowers fill a 

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

 during their flowering period, which covers the months of May and June. They 

 form much-branched specimens 3 to 5 feet high, each branch terminated by a 

 large, pyramidal, graceful spike of blue flowers, and while the habit of the 

 plant is strong and vigorous it is 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. 



Dropmore Variety. Rich gentian blue. 

 Opal. A splendid lustrous light blue. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. ; $18.00 per 100. 



Anchusa 

 Myosotidiflora. 



A distinct new species from 

 the Caucasian mountains, grow- 

 ing but 10 to 12 inches high, 

 producing during April and 

 May sprays ot beautiful Forget- 

 me-not-like flowers of rich blue. 

 25 cts. each. 



Anemones. 



(Windflower). 



We offer a splendid selection 

 of the best kinds. See page 200. 



Anemonopsis. 



Macrophylla. A very rare 

 Hardy Perennial from Japan, 

 growing about 2 feet high. 

 The general habit of the plant 

 as well as its unopened flower 

 buds is not unlike a miniature 

 Japanese Anemone. The rich 

 violet bell-shaped flowers are 

 produced in loose racemes 

 late in summer. Prefers a 

 partly shaded position. 50 

 cts. each.
