 the pumila section, with flowers almost as i 

 the German Iris. Our trials of these va 



Hemerocallis Florham. 



PENTSTEMON 

 GRANDI- 



FEORUM. 



One of our handsomest 

 -native species, and which is 

 being introduced into Europe 

 as a new plant, and of which 

 it is well worthy, being 

 one of the showiest of our 

 hardy Pentstemons. The 

 flowers, which are produced 

 in great profusion in spikes 

 of 2 to 2i ft. high during the 

 spring months, are of a purp- 

 lish blue, large and showy, 

 and an acquisition to any 

 hardy border. 25 cts. each ;

TWO GRAND HARDY PHLOXES. 



F. Q. Von Lassburg. The finest white in cultivation, the in- 

 dividual flowers being fully double the size of 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. This variety attracted much attention in our trial 

 grounds the past summer. 



35 cts. each: S3.50 per doz. 



RETINISPORA SANDERI. 



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 speci- 

 mens. In habit it is quite distinct, its growth being dwarf, dense 

 and cushion-like, forming beautiful semi-globular Sjiecimens of a 

 most pleasing and attractive blue color. Our illustration conveys 

 a very good idea of its style of growth. Beautiful shapely plants, 6 

 inches high, §1.00 e.ich ; §10.00 per doz. Nice specimens, 8 

 inches high, $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 



SEEAGINEEEA IVATSONIANA. 



(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
