This haiulsome perennial, which was 

 introduced some ten years since, has 

 giown in favor so rapidly thnt it is now 

 probably the most popular perennial 

 plant in cuUivaiion. Our own estima- 

 tion of the plant is such that if we 

 had room to plant but one plant of this 

 • class, it would surely be this golden 

 Coreopsis, which begins to flower early 

 in June and continues in flower until cut down by se- 

 \ere freezing weather; it is continually one mass of 

 golden yellow. The flowers, which are of graceful 

 form, are invaluable for cutting for decorative pui- 

 poses ; it is easily grown, is perfectly hardy and suc- 

 ceeds in almost any position, and after once being planted takes care of itself. 



We offer large, strong clumps which will produce an immediate effect at 2-5 cts. each ; 

 $2. 50 per dozen ; §1.5.00 per 100. Good, strong young plants, which will flower freely this 

 summer, 10 cts. each ; SI. 00 per dozen ; S6 00 per 100.
