New Perpetual-flowering Hardy Pinks 



(Dianthus Allwoodi) 



This is the most important novelty we have to add to our list of perennial plants 

 this season. They are perfectly hardy and flower continuously from early Spring 

 until late in the Autumn; the flowers are much more substantial and larger than 

 the old type of Hardy Pinks, and are borne on long stems suitable for cutting; 

 deliciously clove-scented. 



Dorothy. Deep rose-pink with a rich dark centre, slightly fringed. 

 Harold. A large double white of symmetrical form. 

 Jean. Pure white with deep purple centre. 

 Mary. Pale rose-pink with light maroon centre. 



Phyllis. Delicate pale pink with light maroon centre; very strongly scented. 

 Robert. A delicate shade of old-rose with light maroon centre; very free. 



We offer strong plants of any of the above 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. ; $40.00 

 per 100. One each of the six sorts for $2.50. 



HARDY GARDEN PINKS 



Old favorites, bearing their sweet, clove-scented flowers in the greatest profusion 

 during May and June. They are indispensable for the edge of the hardy border 

 and for cutting; 1 foot. 

 Delicata. Soft delicate rose. 

 Diamond. A smooth edged pure white. 

 Homer. Rosy-red with dark centre. 

 Snow. Fine pure white. 

 Souv. de Salle. Soft rosy red.

Price, 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. ; $12.00 per 100. Set of 6 sorts, $1.00. 

 Mixed Hardy Garden Pinks. We offer a fine lot of seedlings grown from a 



very select strain, which should produce a good percentage of double flowers. 



Those that come single are very pretty, and are preferred by some to the full, 



double sorts. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 10U. 



PLATYCODON (Balloon Flower or Japanese Bell flower) 



The Platycodons are closely allied to the Campanulas, and 

 form neat, branched bushes of upright habit. 



Mrs. Ely says of them: "Do best if planted in early spring. 

 They grow from 2 to 2£ feet high, and after the third season 

 each plant will have from ten to twelve stalks covered with the 

 lovely blue or white blossoms for nearly a month, beginning 

 about July 10th. They are also free from attacks of insects, 

 and if planted in good soil and well covered in late autumn 

 with a litter of leaves or stable manure, will be found to be 

 quite hardy." 



Qrandiflorum. Deep blue cupped, star-shaped flowers. 

 — Album. A white-flowered form of the above. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 



Perpetual-flowering Hakdy Pinks 



PLVDIBAGO (Lead-wort) 

 Larpentae. One of the most desirable border and rock plants; 

 it is of dwarf, spreading habit, growing 6 to 8 inches high; 

 covered with deep blue flowers during the summer and fall 

 months. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



PODOPHYLLUM 



Emodi Majus (Himalayan Mandrake). A curious species, 

 growing almost 3 feet high, with pale green leaves, prettily 

 marbled with bronze. The clear pink flowers are followed 



by large coral-red fruit; requires a partially shaded, rich, damp position to 



develop its full beauty. 75 cts. each. 



Polygonum Compactum 



POLEMONIUM (Jacob's Ladder) 

 ReptailS. Useful border plants, about 12 inches high, succeeding best in

 3 feet high and bears pendant, creamy white flowers in May and June.

 each leaf; a striking plant for the shrubbery or as an isolated specimen, 

 particularly so in damp ground.
