PENSTEMON. 



Penstemon Barba- 

 tus Torreyi. A magnifi- 

 cent plant for the border, very 

 showy, and there are few hardy 

 perennials that are more at- 

 tractive or valuable than this. 

 It is a tall growing plant with 

 erect stems on which are dis- 

 played long loose panicles of 

 brilliant scarlet flowers all 

 summer; producing a bright 

 and charming effect. It is 

 particularly gorgeous and 

 effective when planted against 

 shrubbery. The plant is of 

 the easiest culture, and the 

 blooms are excellent also for 

 cutting. 



PYRETHRUM TjXIGINOSUM. 

 Marsh or Giant Daisy. 



Tall-growing and effective, valuable especially for its late 

 bloom, continuing throughout autumn until very late when 

 few other plants are in flower. It sends up numerous tall 

 stems well furnished with linear foliage and crowned with 

 clusters of large, daisy-like, pure white flowers having yellow 

 centres. Very showy and fine for cutting. 



For brilliant display of bloom during the 

 months of Ma}- and June there is nothing 

 in hardy herbaceous plants that will equal 

 the Paeonias. In no class of plants has 

 there been greater improvement made of 

 recent years than in this. We now have 

 them in the loveliest shades of color im- 

 aginable, and of immense size, most in- 

 tensely double, and produced in a profusion 

 that is wonderful to behold. A bed of 

 choice Paeonias is an investment that will 

 increase in beauty and value year by year, 

 and always give unbounded delight. My 

 assortment comprises the choicest varie- 

 ties, including Kelway's Hybrids, of which 

 space permits me to make only brief men- 

 tion here. My Paeonias were awarded Cer- 

 tificate of Merit by The American In- 

 stitute for best display of 120 varieties.

 white, on slender 

 stems, in great 

 numbers through- 

 out the summer. It

 ting. Ea., 15c.;

Spiraea Palmata Elegans. One of the handsomest 

 of hardy plants, and its grand blooms are fine for cutting. 

 The flowers are surpassingly lovely and are borne in terminal

 of rich creamy-white flowers, with clear carmine anthers.
