 latitude, having withstood 

 severe winter of 1911 without 

 and which will be found useful 

 decoration. 



Autumn Glow. Rose crimson. 

 Indian. Indian-red. I Old Homestead. 



Golden Queen. Yellow. | Victory. White. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100. The set of 5 for 65 cts. 



CIIHICIFUGA (Snake Root). 



Simplex. Most valuable by reason of its extreme late flowering, begin- 

 ning in September and attaining full perfection about the middle of Octo- 

 ber, a time when flowers are scarce. Its flowering stems are from 2-V to 

 3 feet high, terminated with a dense spike of white flowers, which, when 

 cut, last in perfection a long time. (See cut.) 50 cts. each; $5.00 per 

 doz.

 August and September; excellent for cutting; 2 J feet. 



Dahurlca. Large cylindrical spikes of creamy-white flowers in Septem- 

 ber; 3 J feet. 



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. 



Price, except where noted, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. Set of 4 sorts 

 for $1.00. 



CLAYTONIA. 



(Spring Beauty.) 



Virginica. A low-growing, early spring flowering native plant, pro- 

 ducing clusters of light pink flowers. Succeeds best in a half-shady 

 spot on the rockery. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



SHRUBBY CLEMATIS. 



This type of Clematis is deserving of the greatest popularity. They 

 form erect bushes 2 to 3 feet high; during their long period of bloom 

 they are very attractive. 



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. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 

 Heraclesefolia. Of the same general habit as above, but with Iighter 



colored flowers. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Recta. One of the best hardy perennials, with handsome pure white 

 flowers in very large, showy clusters during June and July; very 

 ^effective. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Recta Flore Pleno. Identical to the beauti- 

 ful single-flowering type, except that the flow- 

 ers are double and larger. We consider 

 this one of the most desirable perennials 

 in our collection, and although in- 

 roduced more than ten years ago, 

 this plant is seldom offered for 

 sale, owing to its being difficult 

 to propagate. We . offer strong 



plants at 50 cts. each. 

 One each of the 4 sorts for 

 $1.00.
