CHRYSAXTHElir:»I ARCTICUM. 



(The Arctic Daisy.) 



Among fall-flowering perennials this is a perfect gem, and 

 although introduced from Arctic Alaska many years ago, has 

 until recently been lost sight of. It forms an attractive rosette- 

 like clump of pretty dark green foliage, and in September multi- 

 tudes of flower stems appear, terminated by pure white flowers 

 from 2 to 2h inches in diameter. These begin to develop during 

 the last week in September and continue in good condition 

 throughout October and frequently into November. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



SHASTA DAISIHS. 



(Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum.) 

 Ostrich Plume Shasta Daisy. This has been very approp- 

 riately named. It is a semi-double form of Burbank's famous 

 Shasta Daisy, with long, glistening, pure white petals. The 

 flowers are of large size, and, on established plants, may be 

 cut with stems 24 inches long. 25 cts. each; 12.50 per 

 doz. 

 Burbank's Shasta Daisy "Alaska." 

 A decided improvement on the orig-

CiMiciFUGA Simplex. 



Chrysanthemum Arcticum, 



CIMICIFUGA. 



fSnake Root.) 



Simplex. Most valuable by 

 reason of itsextieme late flower- 

 ing, beginning in September and 

 attaining full perfection about the 

 middle of October, a time when 

 flowers are scarce. Its flowering 

 stems are from 2^- to 3 feet high, 

 terminated with a dense spike of 

 white flowers, which, when cut, last in 

 perfection a long time. (See cut.) 50 

 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 

 Acerinum, or Japonicum. A pretty Japan- 

 ese variety, with white flowers; August and Sep- 

 tember; excellent for cutting; 2i feet. 

 Racemosa. A handsome native species, bearing 

 in July and August spikes of pure white flowers; well suited for plant- 

 ing at the back of the border or for naturalizing at the edge of the 

 woods; 4 to 6 feet. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz., except where noted. 



CLrAYTONIA (Spring Beauty). 



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

 ing clu^ters of light pink flowers. Succeeds best in a half-shady spot on 

 the rockery. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



SHRUBBY CI.EMATIS. 



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 Septemlier; deliciously fragrant. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



Recta. One of the best hardy perennials, with handsome pure white 

 flowers in very large, showy' clusters during June and July; very effec- 

 tive. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Recta Flore Pleno. Identical to the beautiful .Mngle-fiowering type, 

 except that the flowers are double and larger. We consider this one of 

 the most desirable perennials in our collection, and although introduced 

 more than ten years ago, this plant is seldom offered for sale, owing to 

 its being difiicult to propagate. We ofi"er strong plants at 50 cts. each.
