EMQTADRSR -PHILADELPHIA' WWt HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



DIELYTRA, OR DICENTRA. 



Spectabilis (Bleeding Heart, or Seal Mower). An old-fashioned 

 favorite; its long racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers 

 are always attractive; it is used largely for forcing, and is per- 

 fectly at home in any part of the hardy border, and especially 

 valuable for planting in the shade. May; 2 feet. (See cut.) 



Formosa {Plumy Bleeding Heart). A dwarfer-growing spe- 

 cies, with finely-cut ornamental foliage, growing about 15 inches 

 high, and producing its showy pink flowers from April to August. 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100. 



DIGITALIS (Foxglove). 



The Foxgloves, old-fashioned, dignified and stately, are whole- 

 some company in any garden. The strong flowerstalks — frequently 

 4 to 6 feet high — rising from rich and luxuriant masses of leaves, 

 always give an appearance of strength to the hardy border, and 

 during their period of flowering dominate the whole garden. 

 Gloxiniaeflora ( Gloxinia-flowered). A beautiful strain of finely-spotted 



varieties. We offer them in White, Purple, Lilac, Rose or Mixed. 

 Ambigua, or Grandiflora. Showy flowers of pale yellow, veined brown; 



2 to 3 feet. 

 Lanata. A distinct species, producing dense spikes, 2 to 3 feet high, of 



odd-looking flowers, the corolla being gray, the lip creamy white. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. One each of the 6 colors. 



75 cts. 



Digitalis (Foxglove) 



Dielytra Spectabilis 

 (Bleeding Heart) 



Draba (whitlow Gras.). 



Androsacea. A pretty dwarf- 

 growing rock-plant, producing 

 white flowers early in spring. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



DORONICUM. 



(Leopard's Bane.) 



One of the most effective very 

 early spring-floweri.ig perennials. 

 If placed in pots in the fall, they 

 can readily be forced into flower 

 Doronicum during the winter months in the 



conservatory or window garden. There are many who have only seen this as a single 

 plant, here or there in a hardy border, and have no idea of the effect it has when planted 

 in a mass. It is also a splendid flower for cutting, as it carries well and stands a long 

 time in water, opening out morning after morning, to the surprise and delight of the 

 possessor. They succeed everywhere, and should have a place in every garden. 

 Caucasicum. Very free-flowering, bright yellow; 12 inches. 

 Clusii. Rich yellow; 2J to 3 inches across; IS to 24 inches. 

 ExCelsum. Large orange yellow; 3j inches across; 24 to 36 inches. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. Set of 3 varieties for 65 cts.
