LiYPSOPHlLA PANICULATA Fl. Pl. 



CLARKIA SCARLET QUEEN. 



1983 A new and brilliant color of this popular annual from 

 Europe. The flowers are extremely double, opening a 

 salmony orange, changing as they mature to an intense 

 salinony orange-scarlet. In other respects it is similar in 

 every way to the two standard sorts offered on -page 85. 

 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



INVINCIBLE GIANT COWSLIP. 



2112 Quite distinct from the ordinary Cowslip both in the stronger 

 growth of the plant and in the massive flowers, which are 

 borne on stout stems 12 to 15 inches high. A bed of 

 these in early spring presents a sight which commands 

 the admiration of every lover of beautiful flowers. 

 The colors range from pure yellow and orange to the 

 deepest scarlet and crimson. 25 cts. per pkt. ; 5 pkts. 

 for $1.00. 



DIMORPHOTHECA 



AURANTIACA HYBRIDA. 



2374 Beautiful new hybrids of the African Golden Daisy, 

 similar in habit to the parent; the flowers equally as 

 large, but varying in color from the purest white 

 through the various shades of yellow and orange to 

 rich salmon shades, many being zoned with several of 

 these colors around the black disc. Easily raised from 

 seed, the plants doing best in a sunny, rather dry 

 situation. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



GIANT YELLOW TULIP POPPV 



Hunnemannia Fumariuefolia. 



28'21 This is by far the best of the Poppy family for cut- 

 ting, remaining in good condition for several days. 

 Seed sown early in May will, by the middle of July, 

 produce plants covered with their large buttercup- 

 yellow, poppy-like blossoms, and never out of flower 

 until hard frost. The plants grow about 2 feet high, 

 are quite bushy, with beautiful feathery, glaucous 

 foliage. J oz., 25 cts.; 10 cts. per pkt. 



GAILLARDIA LORENZIANA, 



"THE BRIDE." 



2498 The double annual Gaillardias have always been favorites both as cut 

 flowers and for bedding, and this new very double creamy-white sort 

 is particularly desirpble for cutting, the flowers being of good size and 

 borne on very long stems. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



Double-flowering BABY'S BREATH. 



Gypsophila paniculata fl. pl.) 



2695 This was introduced in plant form a few years ago, but being some- 

 what difficult to propagate was likely to remain scarce. We are now 

 able to offer seed of it, which reproduces itself about 50 per cent. 

 true, which should help its rapid dissemination. The plant grows 

 from 3 to 3i feet high, bearing its pretty little double white flowers 

 in much-branched panicles, which, when cut, can be used to great 

 advantage with other flowers or by themselves, as they retain their 

 beauty for months. It is also a most desirable addition to the hardy 

 border. 20 cts. per jikt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



NEW HARDY FOUNTAIN GRASS. 



Pennisetum Japonicum 



2656 A splendid new hardy ornamental grass, growing about 4 feet high, 

 with bright green, narrow foliage, while the bronzy-purple cylindrical 

 flower heads are borne on gracefully recurving stems well above the 

 foliage. This, we believe, will prove one of the most valuable hardy 

 grasses, either for use in beds, mixed borders or as specimens. Easily 

 grown from seed, making nice plants the first year. 15 cts. per pkt.; 

 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



TWO HANDSOME HELENIUMS. 



The two fine sorts offered below originated at our own nur- 

 series, and are great advances on the older sorts, and desirable 

 additions to any collection of hardy perennial plants. 



2713 Riverton Qem. Of strong growth, 2i to 3 feet high, 

 and covered all summer with brilliant flowers, opening old- 

 gold, changing as they mature to wallflower-red. 



2714 Riverton Beauty. Similar to the preceding in every 

 way except color, the petals being a rich lemon-yellow sur- 

 rounding a large cone of purplish-black; a striking com- 

 bination. 

 Price of either, 15 cts. per pkt.; a pkt. of each, 25 cts. 



Pknnisetum Japonicum (Hardy Fountain Grass).
