 ing during August and September spikes of pretty sky-blue 

 flowers in great profusion ; 2 to 3 feet 10

3939 Caucasica flore pleno (Double-flowering Bouncing Bet). 

 A hardy perennial sort with white tinted rose, double flowers, 

 produced all summer and fall ; 15 inches 10 



SCHIZANTHUS (Butterfly or Fringe Flower> 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable. The 

 seeds germinate quickly and come into bloom in a few weeks from 

 sowing. The florescence is such as to completely obscure the foliage, 

 making the plant a veritable pyramid of the most delicate and 

 charming bloom ; make admirable pot plants for the house in late 

 winter and early spring. For this purpose sow in the autumn. 



Pyrethrum Hybridum 



3967 Dwarf Large=flowered. Forms compact pyramidal plants 

 a foot high, literally covered with large, beautiful orchid- 

 like flowers in a bewildering range of color. J4 oz., 40 cts. . . 



PUERARIA THUNBERGIANA 



(Japanese Kudzu Vine) 



PER PKT. 



3835 To this must be awarded first place as the fastest 

 growing hardy climbing plant. It will grow 8 to 

 10 feet the first year from seed, and after it has 

 become established there seems to be no limit to its growth, 

 50 feet in a single season being not unusual. Its foliage is 

 large and covers well ; it bears small racemes of rosy- 

 purple, pea-shaped blossoms toward the close of August. 

 A splendid subject for covering permanently verandas, dead 

 trees, etc. ^ oz., 25 cts 10 



PYRETHRUM 



Too much cannot be said in favor of this grand hardy perennial, 

 which will thrive in any good garden soil where there is good drain- 

 age and full exposure to the sun. The main season of blooming is 

 in June, but if the old flower stems are removed they will give a 

 fair sprinkling of flowers in the autumn. Splendid for cutting. 



3846 Hybridum. Hardy perennial, bearing large Daisy or Cos- 

 mos-like flowers, ranging in color from white to deep red, 

 with bright yellow centres ; blooms in May and June, and 

 again in the fall, and is one of the most graceful and long- 

 lasting cut flowers. These are nicely shown in the illus- 

 tration on this page. Per J4 oz., 75 cts 10

 above ; mixed colors 15

 3 to 4 feet high, and from July to September is literally hid- 

 den beneath the multitude of large white daisy-like flowers. 

 Blooms the first year if sown early 15

 nials. Bright orange-yellow petals, surrounding a large

 plant for the house or conservatory. It is remark- 

 ably free-flowering, and presents a beautiful ap- 

 pearance with its myriads of blooms, the ground 

 color of which is white, dotted with delicate rose..
