Majalis. This is often starved and neglected and relegated to some poor, out-of- 
the-way corner; but this popular and fragrant subject, like most other plants, re- 
pays 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 increased size, 
number and vigor of the howers. The stock we offer is strong clumps, especially 
suited for outdoor planting, which should be done before the end of April. 36 
cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
COREOPSIS 
Lanceolata grandiflora. One of the most popular hardy 
plants. The flowers are a rich golden-yellow, of graceful 
form and invaluable for cutting; the main crop comes during 
the latter part of June, but it continues in bloom the entire 
summer and autumn. It succeeds everywhere; 2 to 3 feet. 
Rosea. Finely-divided, dark-green foliage, bearing in August 
and September numerous small pink flowers; useful in border 
or rockery; 1 foot. 
Verticillata. Masses of small golden-yellow flowers in July 
and August, on neat plants with finely divided foliage. 
Price. Any of the above, 25 cts. each; 
$2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
CORONILLA (Crown Vetch) 
Varia. A rampant creeper, with handsome globular heads of showy bright, pink 
and white Sweet Pea-shaped flowers; a useful plant for covering rough backs 
for the rockery. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

| HARDY LARKSPURS 
Mrs. Ely, author of ‘‘A Woman’s Hardy Garden,”’ says: 
: ‘*Perennial Larkspur may be planted as soon as the spring 
‘ has opened. The ground should be well-drained and carefully 
| prepared, but manure must not be allowed to come in contact 
| with the roots, or grubs are apt to destroy the plants. A little 
finely ground bone meal dug around each plant early in May 
| will be of benefit, and in late autumn coal-ashes should be 
sifted over the crowns of the plants to protect them from the 
white grub, which is their only enemy. The stalks being very 
tender, the plants should be staked when they are about three 
feet high, to protect them from heavy wind. Larkspur begins 
to bloom about June 20th, and by cutting off the plants close 
to the ground, as soon as each crop of flowers has faded, a 
second and third crop of flowers will succeed. Each time the 
plants are cut a little bone meal should be dug about them.’’ 
Belladonna. The freest and most continuous blooming of 
all, never being out of flower from the end of June until cut 
down by hard frost. The clear turquoise-blue of its flowers. 
is not equalled for delicacy and beauty by any other flower. 
Chinense. A very pretty dwarf species, with fine feathery 
foliage and intense genetian-blue flowers in open panicles. 
— Album. A pure white form of the above. 
Formosum. The old favorite dark blue with white centre; 
3 to 4 feet high. Very vigorous, and one of the best. 
Dreer’s Gold Medal Hybrids. Unquestionably the finest 
strain of mixed hybrids offered. The original stock came 
from England, and consisted of the best-named varieties. The 
plants are of strong, vigorous habit, with large flowers on 
spikes two feet and over long, the majority running in the 
lighter shades of blue. We can supply them in mixture
