Hybridum. English Larkspurs. ( Kelway' s 

 strain.) — These superb Larkspurs are justly 

 celebrated for superior merit, uniting im- 

 mense size of flowers with great beauty of col- 

 or. They throw up numerous stalks from 

 three to five feet tall, which are frequently 

 clothed for half their length with exquisite 

 flowers, in various shades of blue; from very 

 light to very dark, and others of deep indigo 

 and violet, lustered with metallic hues. They 

 bloom constantly all summer, and nothing 

 can be finer for cutting or more effective in 

 the border than these magnificent flowers. 

 Those I offer are exclusively of the world 

 famed Kelway strain, received direct from 

 Messrs. Kelway. (See cut). Strong field 

 plants, each, 15c; doz. $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



Belladonna. Everblooming Larkspur. — Con- 

 tinues in flower from June until hard freez- 

 ing, and is highly prized by all who know the 

 true variety. The flowers are clear turquoise 

 blue and are unrivalled for delicate refined 

 beauty. Each 20c; doz. $2.00. 



Formosum. — The blue Larkspur of our 

 grandmothers' gardens. Grows about three 

 feet tall with long spikes of most intense 

 dark blue flowers with white centers, an inch 

 across, all summer. Has but few equals and 

 is unsurpassed for deep, rich, pure blue color. 

 It is an old favorite and is of late, receiving 

 again the notice it so well deserves. 



Strong clumps, each, 12c; doz. $1.25; 100, 

 $8.00. 



DICTAMUS. Burning Bush. 



Fraxinella. Gas Plant. (2 ft). — A strong 

 growing plant with fragrant foliage, which 

 bears long spikes of peculiar but interesting 

 purplish-red, lemon-scented flowers. The 

 flowers are of good size and are produced 

 during June and July; at which season it 

 throws off a combustible vapor on warm even- 

 ings, in sufficient quantities as to produce a 

 bright flash when a lighted match is held 

 near it. 



Each 15c; doz. $1.50.
