either for the border or the rockery, and 



succeeds equally well in sun or shade.

May. An interesting plant for the Anthemis 



rockery or well-drained border.

on clean stems, held well above the neat, handsomely-cut foliage; one of the 



most satisfactory plants for the border, and equally at home in partial shade.

form of the preceding, with large flowers on stems 12 inches high; May and 



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

ANE:>I0NE JAPONICA Japanese Wmanower). 



These beautiful Windflowers are one of the most important hardy plants. 

 While they begin blooming early in August, they are more especially valuable 

 on account of their continuing in full beauty until cut down by hard frost. All 

 are excellent for cutting, lasting in good condition for many days. The plants 

 grow 2 to 3 feet high, are perfectly hardy if given the protection of 2 or 3 inches 

 of leaves or litter during the winter, and, while they respond freely to liberal 

 feeding, they will succeed in any ordinary garden soil, increasing in beauty from 

 year to year. They can be used in solid beds or borders or clumps planted 

 through the hardy border, which they brighten up during the late fall months. 

 Japonica Rubra. Beautiful rosy-red; stamens bright yellow. 

 Alba. Large, snowy-white; very chaste. 



Prince Henry. Large, very double, deep rich pink flowers; free-flowering. 

 Qeante Blanche. The largest single white. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

 Set of 8 varieties, one of each, $1.25. 



ANTHEMIS (Marguerite). 



These hardy Marguerites are among the most satisfactory summer-flcwering peren- 

 nials, succeeding in the poorest soil, growing about 15 inches high, and blooming con- 

 tinuously during the entire summer. (See cut.)
