Coreopsis Lanceolata. This handsome perennial, which was in- 

 troduced several years ago, has grown in favor so rapidly that it 

 is now probably the most popular perennial plant in cultivation. 

 Our own estimation 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 severe freezing weather ; it is continually 

 one mass of golden yellow. The flowers, which are of graceful 

 form, are invaluable for cutting for decorative purposes ; it is easily 

 grown, is perfectly hardy and succeeds 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 15 cts. each ; §1.50 per doz. ; §10.00 per 100. Good, strong
