NEW«- RARE PLANTS 



THREE GRANU HARDY PHI^OXES. 



The three varieties here offered are splendid improvements in their several colors, 

 and should l)e included in every first-class collection. 

 F. Q. Von Lassburg. The finest white in cultivation, the individual flowers being 



fiiUy double the size ol any other variety, pure in color, and a strong, clean, 



vigorous grower. 

 Von Hochberg. The ideal crimson Phlox, being several shades brighter than 



Le Mahdi, heretofore considered the richest of this class. 

 Von OcEthe. A rich salmon-rose, shading to a white centre; a large flower, the 



finest of its color. 



35 cts. each ; set of 3 for §1.00. 



RETINISPORA SAIVDERI. 



A new blue conifer, which is not only a valuable addition to our list of hardy 

 plants, but which will prove indispensable in any planting of hardy evergreens, either 

 in massing or in single specimens. In habit it is quite distinct, its growth being 

 duMif, ilcn-e and cu4ii'Mi-li];e, fuming beautiful semi-globular specimens of a most 



pleasing and attractive 

 blue color. Our illustra- 

 tion conveys a very good 

 idea of its style of growth. 

 Nice, shapely plants, 10 

 to 12 inches high, $1.00 

 tich; §10.00 per doz. 



Ne^v Scarlet 

 Sage. 



Ball of Fire. A great 

 improvement on exist- 

 ing sorts, being more 

 compact, earlier and 

 freer-flowering. Each 

 plant forms, when in 

 flower, a bushy speci. 

 men 20 to 24 inches 

 high, and is so com- 

 pletely hidden by the 

 masses of spikes of 

 scarlet bloom as to ap- 

 ])ear like a ball of fire. 

 Ready April 15th. 15 

 cts. each; $1.50 per 

 doz. 



PeNTSTEMON SENSATrON, 



PEXTSTEMON 



" SEISSATION." 



A new and beautiful strain, bearing sjiikes of 

 large Gloxinia-like flowers in a great variety of 

 bright colors, including rose, cherry, crimson, purple, lilac, etc. The 

 plants grow about 2 feet high and bloom from early summer till 

 frost. They have been used with splendid effect for bedding, for 

 which purpose they rival Phloxes, Petunias, etc. Although per- 

 ennial, they are not quite hardy, and are best planted each year 

 like Scarlet Sage and similar stock. Ready April 1st. 20 cts. 

 each; $2.00 per doz. 



New EverbloomSng Hardy Pinks, 



No garden is complete without a liberal planting of these 

 free and continuous blooming spicy Pinks. Their bright colors 

 and rich fragrance are always welcome. 

 Comet. Bright rosy crimson. 

 Delicata. Soft delicate rose; finely fringed. 

 White Reserve. Pure snow white. 



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



NEIV BRILLIAXT STONE-CROP. 



(Sedum Spectabile Atropui-purea.) 



Like the type, this forms an erect, bu.shy plant about 18 inches 

 high, with broad, oval, light-green foliage, and producing in Sep- 

 tember and October gigantic showy heads of deep rosy-crimson 

 flowers. A decided acquisition for the hardy border. 30 cts. 

 each ; $3 00 per doz. 



SELAGINELI.A WATSONIANA. 



(New Silver Variegated Moss.) 

 A charming addition to our list of dwarf ornamental foliage 

 plants, and an excellent subject in conjunction with Ferns for use 

 in Fern dishes and for table decoration. Its chief attraction lies 

 in the silvery-white variegation which spreads throughout the 

 plant, the leaflets on both the main and lateral branches being 

 broadly tipped and margined with glistening white. A free 

 grower, of dwarf, compact habit, and entirely distinct from any 

 Selaginella now grown. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.
