HARDY PERENNIALS— Continued. 



COREOPSIS LANCEOLATA. 



A hardy perennial that should find its way into every garden. 

 The flowers are a clear bright golden yellow, and certain to 

 attract attention. It flowers profusely, is perfectly hardy, and 

 thrives in almost any situation. One of the best of the 

 perennials. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per dozen. Large clumps 

 25 cts. each; §2.50 per dozen. 



CLEMATIS DAVIDIANA. 



This new Japanese Clematis is destined to be one of the 

 finest of hardy plants, and indispensable to all collections of 

 plants. It is a shrubby, upright plant, from two to four feet 

 high, with fresh, bright foliage; leaves grow in whorls around 

 the stem. The flowers circle and cluster in the greatest pro- 

 fusion around each whorl of leaves, making several tiers (four to 

 six) of clusters extending, one above the other, from near the 

 ground to the top of the foliage. Flowers are long, tubular, 

 bell-shaped, very distinct, deep lavender color, and of delicious 

 fragrance. 25 cts. each ; $2. 50 per dozen. 



DELPHINIUM EORMOSLM. 



(Perennial Larkspur.) 



This is certainly one of the handsomest and most satisfactory 

 of all the hardy herbaceous plants, and should be planted ex- 

 tensively, even in the smallest garden ; its long spikes of 

 bright blue flowers are produced continually from June until 

 frost. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per dozen.

 border perennial, forming a bush about 1\ feet in height, having
