DATARS SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER. SEEDS 
Geum Lady Stratheden 
2543 The Geums as a class have become very popular in the Hardy Border, and this 
comparatively new sort has many good qualities to recommend it. The plant is of 
robust growth, with large double flowers, of a rich golden yellow, which are pro- 
duced freely all summer. 25 cts. per pkt. 
Gypsophila Paniculata Double Snow White 
2695 One of the most important hardy perennials of recent introduction. The plant 
grows from 3 to 34 feet high, bearing its pretty little double white flowers in much- 
branched panicles which, when cut, can be used to great advantage with other 
flowers or by themselves as they retain their beauty for months. It is also a most 
desirable addition to the hardy border. 25 cts. per pkt.

ANNUAL LARKSPUR 
Giant Shirley Foxgloves (igitalis) 
2361 This magnificent strain raised by the late Rev. W. 
Wilks, to whom we are also indebted for the Shirley 
Poppies, is unquestionably the greatest improvement 
ever made in Foxgloves. The very vigorous plants 
attain a height of 5 to 7 feet, with spikes of bloom 
+ feet in length, closely set with flowers of unusual 
size, ranging in color from the purest white to dark 
rose, handsomely spotted and blotched with crimson, 
maroon and chocolate. This is certain to supersede 
all other strains of Foxgloves. Seed sown this spring 
will produce plants that will make a glorious show 
next season. 15 cts. per pkt. 
Annual Gaillardia Indian Chief 
2498 An exceptionally rich colored variety, having a dark 
brown centre, the petals a glittering metallic bronzy 
red. In all other respects similar to the popular 
annual Gaillardia. 15 cts. per pkt.

2507 These new hybrids are of strong, vigorous, upright 
habit, from 23 to 3 ft. high with heavy, leathery, 
glaucous foliage; the long flower stems, straight and 
strong, hold the massive flowers erect. These are of
