ANEMONE JAPONICA (Japanese Windflower) 



These beautiful Windflowers are among the most important hardy 

 plants. While they begin blooming in August they are more especially 

 valuable on account of their continuing in full beauty till 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 during the late fall months. 

 Japonica Alba, Large, snowy-white; very chaste. 

 Japonica Rubra, Beautiful rosy-red; stamens bright yellow 

 Queen Charlotte. Very large semi-double flowers of La France pink, 



a color that is rare among hardy plants.

 Whirlwind. Large, semi-double pure white flowers, very free.

 Tinctorla. This hardy Marguerite is one of the most satisfactory sum- 

 mer-flowering perennials, succeeding in the poorest soil; of bushy 

 habit, growing about 15 inches high, 

 and producing its large, golden-yellow, 

 daisy-like flowers continuously during 

 the entire summer.

 row of the shrubbery border. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



ANCHUSA ITAI.ICA 



(The Improved Italian Alkanet or Bugloss) 



The improved Alkanets justly take a front rank among early summer flowering 

 perennials. The rich blue tones of their flowers fill a vacancy in this color, of which 

 there is never a superabundance, particularly during their flowering period, which 

 covers the months of May and June. They form much branched specimens 3 to 5 

 feet high, each branch terminated by a large, pyramidal, graceful spike of blue 

 flowers, and while the habit of the plants are strong and vigorous they are not at all 

 coarse. Of easy culture in any good garden soil and a sunny position. Very eflec- 

 tive either in solid beds or in the hardy border. 



Dropmore Variety. Rich gentian blue. 

 Dpal. A splendid lustrous light blue. 



35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.
