HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 

 NEW HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



/ F 



Three grand, large flowered "Mums." 

 They are all strong growers and produce a 

 wealth of large, decorative, perfect flowers 

 of the purest, brightest colors imaginable. 

 In addition to the flowers being extra large, 

 perfect in makeup and extremely pure and 

 bright in colors, they are of a special value 

 by reason of the sturdy hardihood of plant; 

 all three sorts succeeding under even unfa- 

 vorable conditions and yielding masses of 

 beautiful flowers where the varieties usually 

 planted fail utterly. 



Autumn Spirite. — Pure, bright rosy red. 



Buttercup. — Pure, brilliant golden yellow. 



Snow Queen. — Pure snow white; large full. 



Each 15c; dozen $1.50. 



1 each 40c; 3 each $1.00; 6 each $1.75; 

 12 each $3.50. 



GIANT HYBRID GAILLARDIA. 



A vast improvement in this popular and 

 very valuable Hardy Perennial. The flowers 

 of these Hybrids are truly gigantic (many of 

 them measuring from four to five inches 

 across) are of varied forms and shades of yel- 

 low, orange, maroon and reddish chocolate; 

 those with yellow petals and a maroon zone 

 predominating. They are, however, as mar- 

 velous in prodigality of flowers and long sea- 

 son of blooming as are the flowers for great 

 size; the plants being literally covered with 

 their bright, showy flowers from early in June 

 until freezing weather. Plant of branching 

 habit, strong growth, great hardihood and en- 

 durance. As the blossoms are borne on long, 

 stiff stems and are exceptionally decorative,
