This handsome perennial, which was 

 troduced several years ago, has grown 

 favor so rapidly that it is now 

 probably the most popular perennial 

 "ant in cultivation. 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- 

 vere freezing weather ; it is continually one mass of 

 golden yellow. The flowers, which are of graceful 

 form, are invaluable for cutting for decorative pur- 

 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 15 cts. each, 

 SI. 50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. Good, strong young plants, which will flower freely this 

 summer, 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz.. $6 00 per i00. 



Campanula persicifolia alba (Double White Canterbury Bells). There are few 

 plants that can vie with this lovely Campanula. The flowers are pure white in long close 

 spikes 2 feet high, very double, resembling a column of Camellia flowers. It is exceed- 

 inglv free flowering and grand for cutting, thriving well in almost any soil. 25 cts. each,

 tinuing almost the entire summer; flowers about one inch in diameter; we offer two
