THE BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE ANEMONES. 



r Wind Flowers. 



These are among the most beautiful and valuable Hardy Perennials; highly ornamental in foliage and blooming 

 continuously and freely from August until frost. The flowers are large, exceedingly chaste and pure in color, on 

 long stems and wonderfully graceful; surpassing even in refined beauty the Cosmos and unsurpassed for cutting. 

 Although the Japanese Anemones are hardy, it is well to give them a slight protection in winter, as they are 

 sometimes damaged by cold in severe winters when unprotected. 



ALBA. (18 inches.)— Flowers large, single, pure QUEEN CHARLOTTE. (2 feet.)— Flowers of extra 



large size (often 4 inches across) and dainty, silvery- 

 pink color. Flowers earlier than the others and should 

 be planted with them to precede them. 



ROSEA SUPERBA. (18 inches.)— Valuable espec- 

 ially for its fine form and beautiful, delicate, light rose 

 color. 



WHIRLWIND. (18 inches.)— A semi-double form of 

 J. Alba and even more free flowering. Flowers two to 

 three inches across; having several rows of pure whire 

 petals and is very lasting. 



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

 A set of 7 varieties for $1.00. 



Another year serves more fully to confirm my high 

 opinion of this perfectly hardy Amaryllis. In early 

 spring it produces sword-like leaves which ripen in 

 July, and anyone who is not advised of its habit would 

 be apt to conclude tne bulbs had perished; but, lot in 

 a month or six weeks the flower stalks are thrown up 

 two feet high and are crowned with clusters of 

 exquisitely beautiful orchid-like flowers, 3 to 4 inches in 

 diameter. Ihe flowers are delicate lilac-pink, shaded 

 with sky blue, and there are from 8 to 10 upon each 

 stalk. 



It needs no special care or attention. Once properly 

 planted, (merely place the bulbs about four inches be- 

 low the surface), it will take care of itself. Strong 

 bulbs, each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 



ACONITUM. 



Monkshood. 



AUTUMNALE. (3 feet.) — Forms bushy clumps with 

 long spikes of hood-shaped, bluish-purple flowers in 

 September. Especially valuable for planting in shaded 

 situations. 



NAPELLUS— Similar to the above in habit. The 

 flowers are of dark blue, appearing In August and Sep- 

 tember. 



Each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 



white, with yellow stamens; very beautiful and chaste. 



ELEGANTISSIMA. (18 inches.)— Flowers large, 

 made up of two distinct sets of petals and are of a most 

 beautiful satiny-rose color. 



LADY ARDILAUN. (18 inches.)— Similar to, but 

 even finer than, J. Alba the flowers being larger, more 

 numerous, pure white, with overlapping petals and with 

 extra tall, stiff stems. A most profuse bloomer. 



PRINCE HENRY. (18 inches.)— Large, semi- 

 double flowers; dark purplish-red — the deepest in color 

 of the Japanese Anemones. Entirely distinct from ;J1 

 others.
