STOKESIA CYANEA ALBA. 
(The New White Corn-EFlower, or Stokes’ Aster ) 
We showed in colors on the cover of our {903 Garden Book 
the blue Stokesia Cyanea, which at that time, although a native 
of the United States, was practically unknown as a garden 
plant; but, as the result of our efforts, has now become one of the popular 
hardy perennials. In this new variety here offered for the first time 
we have a counterpart of the parent in general habit of growth and 
freedom of bloom, but in color it is a pure white, a plant that is 
certain to be welcomed as a desirable addition to the hardy 
garden. - (See cut.) 450 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz.

FOLIUM COMPACTUM. 
A dwarf, compact-growing form, never exceeding two

freedom during June and July. This is without ques- 
tion the best of the large-flowered forms, and a very 
showy plant. 650 cts. each. 
THALICTRUM DELAVAYI. 
Entirely distinct from all others. The flowers which 
are of a delicate lilac color. are disposed in a graceful droop- 
ing or hanging manner, in broad, branching panicles. The 
plant grows about two feet high, and has finely divided glau- 
cous-green foliage, which makes it avery attractive plant even 
when not in bloom. 650 cts each.
