DESMODIUM. 



PEN'DULIFLOSrM. — An exceedingly attractive and ef- 

 fective shrubby plant with finely divided foliage and large, 

 long, drooping clusters of showy reddish-purple, pea-like 

 flowers along the branches in great masses, during late 

 summer and autumn. The plant grows 3 to 4 feet high 

 and is literally covered with its pleasing colored flowers. 

 Besides coming, as it does, at a season when there is a 

 dearth of color upon the lawn and in the border, it is of 

 the greatest value. Especially useful for massing, as the 

 background for borders, anj planting w-ith shrubbery. 



JAPOMCUM ALBUM. — Simflar to the above, though not 

 so strong a grower, with white flowers. 



Strong field-grown plants, each, 20c,' doz., $2.00; 100, 

 $12.00. 



DICTAMNUS. Burning Bush. 



FBAXIKELLA. Gas Plant. (2 feet).— A strong, 

 growing plant with fragrant foliage, which bears long 

 spikes of peculiar but interesting russet-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 evenings, in sufficient quan- 

 tity as to produce a bright flash when a lighted match is 

 held near it. 



FBAXITfELLA ALBA. A variety of the above with pure 

 white flowers. 



FBAXINELLA CAUCASICUS.— A giant form with flowers 

 of the same color as the species, but twice the size. 

 Each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 



Price, (except as noted), each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 



One each of the three for 50c. 



These old fashioned summer flowering plants are al- 

 ways handsome and showy. Their large tubular flowers 

 are thickly clustered on tall spikes and are produced in 

 great profusion; ranging in color from purple to white 

 with throats variously spotted and colored. Properly 

 planted in mass with an appropriate background, nothing 

 is more effective and striking when in bloom. When 

 Sweet Williams are planted with them as a foreground 

 the effect is truly delightful. The foliage is so large, 

 fresh looking and abundant, growing in massive clumps, 

 the plants are decidedly attractive; even when there are 

 no flowers upon them. They succeed everywhere; three 

 to four feet; biennial in habit. 



GLOXIXAEFLOEA.— The large flowered form of the old 

 fashioned Foxglove. We have them in Purple, Rose Col- 

 ored and PURE White; also in mixed colors. 



GBANDIFLOEA. (Ambigua.) — A distinct species, having 

 showy pale yellow flowers, with brown veinings. 



Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



DORONICUM. Leopard's Bane. 

 CAFCASICUM. — An early blooming plant, two feet high, 

 producing in early April bright yellow flowers quite two 

 inches in diameter, on long stems. Of the easiest culture 

 and succeeds everywhere. 



EXCELSOL— Orange yellow flowers that are larger than 

 those of D. Caucasicum. 



Each, 20c; doz.. $2.^0. 



ERYNGIUM AMETHYSTINUM. 



Sea Holly. 



Unique and efTective 

 plant, growing 3 to 5 

 feet high. The flower 

 heads, which appear in

 semble thistles some- 

 what and are a peculiar 

 metallic blue. Foliage 

 much dissected and each 

 point is terminated with 

 a spine. It is in every 

 way attractive and in- 

 teresting. Excellent for 

 cutting and the flowers 



may be gathered and dried to form bouquets in winter. 

 It presents the most effective and beautiful sight when 

 grown in mass. It is exceedingly hardy and remains in 

 perfection a long time. Each, 15c; doz., $1.50
