HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



229 



P^EONIA OFFICINALIS. 



This type is the old-fashioned "P<eony," and 

 comes into bloom from ten days to two weeks 

 ahead of the sorts on opposite page. All are 

 strong growers, with large, full, double, fragrant 

 flowers. 

 Mutabilis Alba. Blush white, deepening to 



rose. 

 — Rosea. Bright rose-pink. 

 Rubra. Brilliant, glowing, deep crimson. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. One of each 



for 75 cts. 



P^EONIA TENUIFOLIA 

 FLORE PLENO. 



(Fern-leaved Paeony.) 



Interesting and handsome, not only on ac- 

 count of their rich crimson double flowers, which 

 resemble in color the Gen. Jacqueminot Rose, 

 but the fine, feathery foliage makes a handsome 

 ornamental plant. 30 cts. each; $3,00 per doz. 



PACHYSANDRA. 



Terminalis. A trailing plant, 6 to 8 inches 

 high, forming broad mats of bright, glossy 

 green foliage and small spikes of flowers dur- 

 ing May and June; invaluable as a cover plant 

 either in sun or shade. 15 cts. each; $1.50 

 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



PARDANTHUS (Blackberry Lily). 

 Sinensis. Lily-like flowers of bright orange 

 during July and August on 2 J feet high stems, 

 followed in September with seeds which re- 

 semble blackberries; will grow and do well in any soil in a 

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



Papaver Orientate (Orienui Po PPy ). 



These are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 

 growing 3 to 3i feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of 

 bloom all the annual and biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous 

 display of rich and brilliant coloring nothing equals them during 

 their period of flowering in May and June, and whether planted 

 singly or in masses their large flowers and freedom of bloom 

 renders them conspicuous in any position. They are of the 

 easiest culture; almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do 

 best in deep, rich loam; set the plants out in fall or early spring 

 before the first of May — give them water occasionally during 

 dry spells in the early part of the season; mulch with stable 

 litter in fall, and they will increase in size and fioriferousness 

 for several years. After flowering the plants die back, usually 

 reappearing in early September, or as soon as the weather gets 

 cool. During this resting period care should be taken in culti- 

 vating the beds that the roots are not disturbed, any disturbance 

 at this time usually resulting in failure. We offer the following 

 distinct varieties: 

 Goliath. Fiery scarlet. 



Mahony. Dark crimson maroon, shaded mahogany. 

 Mrs. Perry. Salmon-rose. 



Oriflamme. A large, gorgeous orange-scarlet. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. Set of 4 varieties, 75 cts. 

 Finest Mixed Seedlings,. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; 



$10.00 per 100. 



Perry's White Oriental Poppy 



NEW ORIENTAL POPPIES. 



Perry's White. Unquestionably the most important addition 

 to the list of hardy perennial plants made in a number of 

 years, we offered it for the first time last year and those who 

 planted and flowered it were much pleased. It is the most 

 distinct break in Oriental Poppies that has yet been made, the 

 flowrs being of a pure satiny white with a crimson-maroon 

 blotch at the base of each petal. 



Perry's Pigmy. Another distinct development which is un- 

 doubtedly the forerunner of a new race of Oriental Poppies, 

 the flowers of this novelty are no larger than those of the 

 Iceland Poppy, but the form is typically that of the Oriental 

 and in color a pleasing soft salmon-rose. 



Lady Frederick Moore. The flowers of this delightful 

 variety are of a beautiful shade of clear salmon-pink with a 

 very conspicuous black blotch at the base of each petal, and 

 measures seven inches across. 



Price. Any of the above 3 new varieties, 50 cts. each; $5.00 

 per doz. One each of the three sorts for $1.25. 



PAPAVER NUDICAULE (Iceland Poppy). 



The plant is of neat habit, forming a tuft of bright green 

 fern-like foliage, from which spring, throughout the entire sea- 

 son, a profusion of slender leafless stems 1 foot high, each 

 graced with charming cup-shaped flowers. We offer them in 

 three colors, viz., white, yellow and orange-scarlet, or in mix- 

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



THE NEW WHITE ORIENTAL POPPY offered on this page is decidedly novel
