New Shasta 

 Daisy. 



Chr y §antheinuiti 

 Maximum Robinsoni. 



This i^ unquestionably the must de- 

 sirable Moonpeiiny Daisy yet intro- 

 duced. The flowers, which are pro- 

 duced in the greatest profusion, are of 

 medium size, glistening white, with long 

 narrow petals, frequently deeply cut or 

 fringed at the ends; a decided acquisi- 

 tion. 35 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. 



Gypsophila 

 Paniculata Flj PI. 



(Double-Flowering Baby's Breath.) 



There is no doubt that this is one of 

 the most important additions to our list 

 of hardy plants in recent years. The 

 single-flowering form has always been 

 a favorite, its misty bloom being indis- 

 pensable in a naturally arranged bunch 

 of flowers. Add to this the pretty liitle 

 double rosette-like flowers of ihis new 

 form, which are produced in much-branched panicles 3 to SJ feet high, and we have 

 a plant not only valuable for cutting, but a most desirable addition to the hardy 

 border. 3.5 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. 



GYPSOPHII.A PROSTRATA ROSBA. 



A novel and charming variety of this favorite rock plant, producing through- 

 out the summer and fall an abundance of lovely delicate pink flowers on branch- 

 ing stems about 8 inches high. .50 cts. each. 



HELENIUM GRANDICEPHALUM CUPREUM. 



Nearly all varieties of this hardy perennial being yellow, a deviation in color at 

 once attracts attention. This new variety produces coppery-red flowers about 2 

 inches in diameter, a shade at once rich and pleasing, and has been admired by 

 all visitors to our trial grounds the past two seasons. The flowers are freely and 

 continuously borne from June till ihe end of September. 25 cts. eacli ; $2 50 per doz. 



IBERIS SNOWFEAKE (New Hardy candytuft). 



A grand improvement on all existing varieties, having exceptionally large and 



BIRBANK'S NETV SHASTA DAISIES. 



e original Sh-asta Dai.sy introduced some five years ago has steadily grown 

 in favor, and is now included in almost every collection of hardy perennial 

 ants. In the three varieties offered below Mr. Burbank says that the 

 effort has been to increase the vigor and perpetual flowering qualities 

 f the original strain, all of which has been wonderfully devel- 

 oped in the following : 



Alaska. Both plant and flowers gigantic, but compact and 

 graceful. The flowers average 4.t to 5 inches across, with 

 from 38 to 42 wide petals of a glistening white, and a very 

 small disc. 



California. Similar to the preceding, but the buds and 

 hall-opened flowers are a pleasing pale lemon-yellow, 

 changing to pure white when a day or two old ; it also has 

 a double row of petals. 



Westralia. Distinguished by its branching habit, well- 

 grown plants being from 3 to 4 feet high by nearly as much 

 through. Newly opened flowers are of a cream color chang- 

 ing to pure white, and from 3 to 4 inches in diameter. 

 25 cts. each ; the set of 3 varieties for 50 cts.

means new, but only during the past 

 of it to enable us to offer it in our 

 (jarden Book, and as a re- 

 sult many thousand plants 

 were distributed, and the 

 favorable comments re- 

 ceived from pleased cus- 

 tomers justifies us in be- 

 lieving that of all the hardy 

 plants sent out in past years 

 none has ever given more 

 satisfaction than this ever- 

 blooming Dianthus. The 

 smallest plant set out in 

 spring will form a com- 

 pact clump, not ovtr 10 

 inches in height, which 

 from the middle of June 

 until severe freezing 

 weather is a mass of full, 

 double, brilliant blood- 

 crimson delightfully clove- 

 sented flowers. 25 cts. 

 each; $2.50 per doz.

INCARVIEEEA GRAXOIFEORA. 



Incarvillea Delavayi, which was introduced some six years since, and now pop- 

 ularly known by the appropriate name of ihe Hardy Gloxinia, has become a gen- 

 eral favorite, and is being jilanted extensively, but is far surpassed both in size and 

 beautiful coloring by this new form, of which the flowers are fully one-half larger, 

 as well as a brighter rose in color. The habit of the plant is much more compact. 

 "We offer a limited stock, f 1.25 each.
