GypSOphila (Baby's Breath) 



The Gypsophilas will thrive in any soil in a sunny position, 

 and on account of their gracefully arranged large panicles of 

 minute flowers should be in every garden. 



Paniculata. This is the favorite old-fashioned single 

 flowering variety, a plant possessing a grace not found in 

 any other perennial. When in bloom during July and 

 August it forms a symmetrical mass 2 to 3 feet in height, 

 and as much through, of minute pure white flowers, forming 

 a beautiful gauze-like appearance. When cut it is exquisite 

 in combination with other flowers. 



Paniculata Flore Plena. The original double flowering 

 form; the flowers of which are not only larger but of a purer 

 white than the single flowering sort, these may be cut and 

 dried, retaining their beauty for many months; a valuable 

 subject for the hardy border. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Repens. An elegant trailing plant for the rockery, with 

 clouds of small white flowers in July and August. 



— Rosea. A pink flowered form of the above. 



Price, except where noted. 25 cts. each; 

 $15.00 per 100. 



50 per doz.; 



Double-flowering Gypsophila 



Geiim (Avens) 

 Pretty border plants, growing about 15 to 18 inches high, and 

 producing showy, bright-colored flowers from May to July. 

 Atrococcineum fl. pi. Brilliant scarlet double flowers. 

 Lady Stratheden. A counterpart of Mrs. Bradshaw except in 



color, the large double flowers being of a rich golden yellow. 

 Mrs. Bradshaw. Large double brilliant scarlet. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $18.00 per 100 



New Double -flowering 

 Gypsophila 



"Bristol Fairy" 



The well-known double-flowering Gypsophila Paniculata, 

 when first introduced, was quite a sensational novelty, and 

 is still one of the most valuable hardy garden plants, with 

 its great panicles of white flowers so indispensable for cutting 

 in July and August. 



In Bristol Fairy, we have a wonderful advance over the afore- 

 mentioned sort, a plant not only of greater vigor, producing much 

 larger panicles of flowers, in which the individual bloom also is 

 considerably larger, and of purer white color, but it also possesses 

 the advantage of flowering more or less continuously throughout 

 the summer, new branches of bloom appearing after the first 

 flush of flowers has passed, if these are cut away when through 

 blooming. Strong Roots, $1.00 each. 



Hardy Ornamental Grasses 



The ornamental grasses can be used with telling effect, either as individual specimens in the border or on the lawn; large beds or 

 borders planted entirely to the different varieties are attractive; they can also be used to advantage interspersed in the shrubbery border 

 or planted in clumps on the margin of ponds or lakes. 



Arrhenatherum bulbosum variegatum. Forms a dense 

 tuft 6 to 8 inches high with prettily variegated green and white 

 leaves; a splendid edging plant. 25 cts. each. $2.50 per doz. 



Arundo Donax Variegata {Great Reed). An exceptional 

 strong growing ornamental grass attaining a height of 10 to 12 

 feet with broad green foliage beautifully striped with white. 

 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Elymus Glaucus (Blue Lyme Grass). A handsome Grass, with 

 narrow glaucous silvery foliage; well adapted for the border or 

 the edge of beds containing taller sorts; 2 feet. 35 cts. each; 

 $3.50 per doz. 



Eulalia Gracillima Univittata {Japan Rush). Of graceful 

 habit, with narrow foliage; of a bright green color, with a silvery 

 midrib; 6 to 7 feet. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Eulalia Japonica Variegata. Very ornamental; long, nar- 

 row leaves, striped green, white and often pink or yellow. 

 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Eulalia Japonica Zebrina (Zebra Grass). The long blades of 

 this variety are marked with broad yellow bands across the leaf. 

 It makes a very attractive specimen plant for the lawn; 6 to 7 

 feet. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Festuca Glauca (Blue Fescue). A pretty dwarf tufted grass 

 with distinct blue-green foliage. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Gynerium Argenteum {Pampas Grass). The most effective 

 of all the ornamental grasses. Its large silvery plumes are pro- 

 duced on stems 8 to 10 feet high during the late summer and fall. 

 This plant is well known to summer visitors to California where 

 it is one of the features in many gardens. It can be grown equal- 

 ly well here and established plants can remain in the open ground 

 if well protected. We offer extra strong plants of flowering size 

 in 7 inch tubs, $2.50 each. 



Pennisetum Japonic um (Hardy Fountain Grass). This 

 variety grows about 4 feet high, foliage narrow, of a bright green, 

 while the cylindrical flower heads are tinged with bronze purple; 

 one of the most valuable hardy grasses. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Phalaris Arundinacea Variegata {Variegated Ribbon Grass 

 or Gardener's Garters). Large variegated foliage; an excellent 

 grass for bordering large beds; 12 to 15 inches. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
