 dark green f oliage, and is a free grower, from 2 to 3 

 ft. in height. Ea., 15c; 4 for 50c; doz., $1.25. 



Munstead's Giant White Columbine. (A. vulgaris 

 alba). One of the most vigorous and persistent of hardy 

 blooming plants, producing a continuous and profuse 

 supply of large pure white flowers of great substance 

 from May to July; which are exceedingly desirable for 

 cutting. Like the other Columbines it is admirably ad- 

 apted for rockwork and the border, and is always 

 picturesque. Ea., 15c; 4 for 50c; doz., $1.25.

 low and the spurs of dark orange-red. Ea., 15c; 4 for

TRUE FORGET-ME-NOT. 



Myosotis dissitiflora. ) 



Perfectly hardy 

 and a most interest- 



COREOPSIS LANCEOLATA, 



ing plant, with 

 neat, rounded foli- 

 age which is almost 

 hidden beneath 

 masses of bright 

 blue corymls of 

 flowers, which are 

 constantly pro- 

 duced almost the 

 entire season. Useful for cutting, and forms a beauti- 

 ful border when planted closely in a row. Ea., 15c; 

 4 for 50c; doz., $1.25. 



Perhaps the finest yellow peren- 

 nial grown. It forms a compact 

 clump, of close upright habit with 

 abundant clear green, smooth foli- 

 age. The beautiful flowers are two 

 inches in diameter and are carried 

 on smooth stems nearly a foot long. 

 The form is perfect and color a daz- 

 zling golden yellow, eclipsing in 

 richness and intensity all other flow- 

 ers of its class. The plants we offer 

 we guarantee to be the true variety, not the one so 

 often sent out for it which is by no means so beautiful 

 or hardy. Ea., 15c; doz., $1.25; 100, fS.00. 



Coreopsis rosea. A desirable species, of dwarf trail-

 the sake of its old 

 associations. Ea., 15c; 4 for 50c: doz.. $1.25. 



FALSE INDIGO. 



Baptisia australis. For producing a pleasing effect 

 in the background of the border there are few plants 

 of its season that are better than this. It grows to a 

 height of from three to four feet, with handsome f oli- 

 age and large racemes of showy, dark blue flowers, ren-
