CLAYTONIA (Spring Beauty) 

 Virginica. A low-growing, early spring-flowering native plant, producing clus- 

 ters of light pink flowers. Succeeds best in a half-shady spot on the rockery. 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



SHRUBBY CLEMATIS 



This type of Clematis is deserving of the greatest popularity. They form erect 



bushes 2 to 3 feet high. During their long period of bloom they are very attractive. 



Davidiana. A most desirable variety, with fresh, bright green foliage and tubular 

 bell-shaped flowers of deep lavender blue during August and 

 September; deliciously fragrant. 20 cts. each; $2. 00 per doz. 



Heracleeefolia. Of the same general habit as above, but with 

 lighter colored flowers. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Recta. One of the best hardy perennials, with handsome C' 

 pure white flowers in very large showy clusters during June V 

 and July; very effective. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Recta Flore Pleno. Identical to the beautiful single-flower- ^£ 

 ing type, except that the flowers are double and larger. We 

 consider this one of the most desirable perennials in our col- ^ 

 lection, and although introduced more than ten years ago, 

 this plant is seldom offered for sale, owing to its being diffi- 

 cult to propagate. We offer strong 

 plants at 50 cts. each. 

 One each of the 4 sorts for $1.00.

Clematis Davidiana 



Coreopsis Lanceolata Grandifi.ora 



CONVALLARIA 



(Lily of the Valley) 

 Majalis. This is often starved and ne- 

 glected and relegated to some poor, out- 

 of-the-way corner; but this popular and 

 fragrant subject, like most other plants, 

 repays for being well treated, and if the 

 bed is given a liberal top-dressing of 

 well-decayed manure in fall or early 

 spring it will show the effect by in- 

 creased size, number and vigor of the 

 flowers. The stock we offer is strong 

 clumps, especially suited for outdoor 

 planting, which should be done before 

 the end of April. 30 cts. each; $3.00 

 per doz ; $22.00 per 100.

 ting; the main crop comes during the latter part of June, but it continues

 3 feet. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Rosea. Finely-divided, dark-green foliage, bearing in August and Sep- 

 tember numerous small pink flowers; useful in border or rockery; 1 foot,
