PYRETHRUM. 



Hybridum Fl. PI. Too much cannot be said in favor of 



this grand hardy perennial. No class of plants gives a wider 



range of colors, while the form and substance of the flowers 



is all that could be wished; their main 



season of blooming is in June, but if the old 



flower stems are removed they will give 



a fair sprinkling of flowers in the autumn. 



The bloom is similar to that of an aster, and 



ranges in color from pure white and yellow 



and the various shades of pink and red to 



deep purple. The plants we offer are seed- 

 lings grown from an extra select strain. 15 



cts. each; |1.50 per doz. 

 Uliginosum {Giaftt Daisy). A grand 



fall-blooming plant, growing 5 feet high, 



and covered with large white flowers, with

RUDBECKIA (Cone-flower). 



" Golden GlO'W." A glorious plant, and one that should find a place in 

 every garden. Without question the best hardy plant introduced in many 

 years. It is of fine habit and vigorous growth, attaining a height of from 4 

 to 6 feet, and begins to flower early iu the season, and continues until Ir.ie in 

 the fall. The flowers are produced in enormous quantities on long stems, 

 and resemble a fine double golden-yellow cactus dahlia; and as a cut flower 

 for vases, etc., it has no equal. (See cut.) 



Xewniailii. Dark orange-vellow flowers, with deep purple cone, borne on 

 stiff", wiry stems, admirably fitting it for cutting. 



Purpurea {Giant Purple Cone-flowei). One of the good old hardy peren- 

 nials, introduced more than a century ago, but h.ns been lost sight of for many 

 years. We consider it one of the most interesting plants in our entire col- 

 lection of hardy perennials. It is of easy culture, succeeding in any soil, 

 forming large, broad, bushy plants, producing from midsummer until kite 

 autumn a constant succession of large, showy, reddish-purple flowers, about 

 4 inches across, with a remarkably large, cone-shaped centre of brown, thickly 

 set with golden tips in spiral lines. (See cut.) 



Sub-Toilientosa. A pyramidal, densely-branched plant, which in early 

 fall is completely enveloped in a mass of brilliant lemon-yellow flowers with 

 dark purple centres.
