1010 Fine Mixed. Considered indispensable for flowering indoors during the

 doors the first season and indoors all winter. Mixed Colors $0 25 



Achillea (MUfon, or Yarrow) 



1021 Ptarmica "The Pearl." One of the best hardy 

 white perennials. Grows about 2 feet high, and from 

 spring to frost is covered with heads of purest white 

 double flowers. Easily grown from seed, flowering the 

 first season, if sown early 25 



Acroclinium 



A pretty annual "Everlasting," growing about 15 inches high, 

 bearing lovely white or rosy-pink flowers, which, when cut in the 

 bud state, can be dried and used in winter bouquets. A nice 

 thing to grow in a mixed border aside from its use as an everlasting.

Acroclinium 



Adlumia 



(Mountain Fringe, Allegheny Vine, or Climbing 



Fumitory) per pkt. , 



1051 Cirrhosa. A graceful, hardy biennial climber, but as 



it resows itself year after year, it might be considered 



perennial. The feathery foliage closely resembles that 



of the Maidenhair Fern. The flowers are tube-shaped, 



flesh-colored, somewhat like the Bleeding Heart, and 



completely cover the plant. For covering trellises, 



stumps of trees, etc., it is very desirable. Flowers the 



first year from seed $0 15 



Ageratum (FIoss Flower) 



One of the best bedding plants, being literally a sheet of bloom 

 from early summer till frost. Unlike many bedding plants, their 

 flowers are not liable to be spoiled by rain, nor do the colors fade 

 out. The various blue varieties are without doubt the most 

 satisfactory bedding plants of this color for our trying climate. 

 Easily raised from seed, which is usually started in a hotbed or 

 window and transferred to the open ground in May. Can also 

 be sown outdoors in May. A sowing in September will give plants 

 to bloom all winter. (See cut.) 



1071 Blue Perfection. This is the darkest colored of 

 all large flowering Ageratums. Color deep amethyst- 

 blue; compact growth; fine bedder. \ oz., 40 cts.. . .$0 10 



1073 Cope's Pet. The best light blue variety for edging. 

 J oz., 30 cts 



1074 Imperial Dwarf Blue. Clear blue; 8 inches. 

 J oz., 30 cts 



1075 Imperial Dwarf White. 8 inches, J oz., 30 cts 



1076 Little Blue Star. A variety of exceedingly dwarf 

 and even growth; the tiny bushes, not over 4 to 5 

 inches high, are densely covered with bright blue 

 flowers, a fine variety for edging 



1078 Princess. A beautiful variety of compact, even 

 growth, rarely exceeding 8 inches in height; the 

 flowers are sky-blue with white centre, the contrast 

 being really exquisite, j oz., 40 cts 10
