Kudbeckia Golden Glow. 



PYRETHRUM. 



RVDBECKIA (Cone-flower). 

 Fulgida. Brilliant orange-yellow flowers; produced in masses on much 



branched plants, 2 feet high, during August and September. 

 Golden Glow. We question if any one hardy perennial plant has ever met with 

 greater popularity than this. It is a strong, robust grower, attaining a height of 

 5 to 6 feet, and produces masses of double golden-yellow Cactus Dahlia-like 

 flowers from July to September. (See cut.) 

 maxima. A rare and attractive variety, growing 5 feet high, with broad, oval, 

 glaucous green foliage and immense flowers, frequently 6 inches across, of bright 

 yellow, with a, cone 2 inches long. It flowers continuously from June to 

 September. 

 Newmanii. Dark orange-yellow flowers, wilh deep purple cone, borne on 

 stiff, wiry stems, 3 feet high, admirably fitting it for cutting. Flowers from 

 July to October. 

 Nitida, or Autumn Glory. Large pale yellow flowers during August and 



September ; 5 feet high. 

 Purpurea {Giant Purple Cone-flower). Entirely distinct from all other peren- 

 nials in the peculiar formation as well as the color of the flowers, which are 

 of large size, about 4 inches across, of a peculiar reddish purple, with a remark- 

 ably large cone-shaped centre of 

 brown, thickly set with golden 

 tips in spiral lines ; forms bushy 

 plants from 2 to 3 feet high, and 

 blooms from July to October. 

 Sub-Tomentosa. A pyramidal, 

 densely-branched plant 1\ feet 

 high, which is completely en- 

 veloped in a mass of brilliant 

 lemon-yellow flowers with dark 

 purple centres. 



Hybridum Fl. PI. Too much cannot be said 



in favor of this grand hardy perennial. No 



class of plants gives a wider range of colors, 



while the form and substance of the flowers is 



all that could be wished ; their main season of 



blooming is in June, but if the old flower stems 



are removed they will give a fair sprinkling of 



flowers in the autumn. The bloom is similar 



to that of an aster, and ranges in color from 



pure white and the various shades of pink and red to deep purple. 



Aphrodite. A fine, double pure white. 



King Oscar. Double purplish-carmine. 



Marquis of Salisbury. Deep, double pink. 



Mont Blanc. Double creamy white.

RANUNCULUS (Crow Foot). 

 AcriS Fl. PI. [Bachelor's Buttons). A pretty double-flowering form 

 of the bright, golden-yellow Buttercup. Grows 2^ feet high, and 

 bears masses of flowers during May and June. 

 Aconitifolius Fl. PI. (Fair Maids of Franre). Forms a branch- 

 ing bush 2 feet high, flowers pure white and exceedingly double ; 

 blooms in May and June. 



10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. 



UOMNEYA (California Tree, or Matilija Poppy). 



Coulteri. Everyone who has traveled in California is familiar with 

 this beautiful Poppy. ,And though the plant is plentiful in lower 

 California it is rarely offered for sale on account of the difficulty 

 with which, under ordinary conditions, it transplants. The limited 

 stock which we offer are pot-grown, and will move without risk of 

 loss. While the plant is hardy as far north as Philadelphia, it must 

 be planted in a well-drained, sheltered position, preferably in sandy 

 peat soil. It grows 5 to 6 feet high, and frequently has from 12 to 

 15 expanded flowers in a single shoot at one time. The flowers are 

 white, 6 inches and over across, delicate and transparent yet endur- 

 ing in a good state for several days ; delightfully fragrant. $1 25 each. 



Pyrethrum Hybridum Fl. Pl. 



Triloba. Forms a much-branched 

 plant, 3 to 4 feet high, which is 

 covered during August and Sep- 

 tember with small, but attractive, 

 yellow flowers, wilh brown disc. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. One 

 each of the 6 varieties for 75 cts.
