A truly wonderful plant and a Hardy Perennial 

 greatly admired by all who visited the Monmouth 

 Nui-sery when in flower. It is strong growing and 

 branching, attains a height of three to four feet 

 and during August and September (a season when 

 there is usually a dearth of bloom in the hardy 

 border) the plants are entirely covered with pani- 

 cles of the most charming celestial blue imaginable. 

 A mass of it is so striking as to arrest the eye at 

 a distance of several hundred yards and its beau- 

 ties become more manifest the nearer it is ap 

 proached. Useful as cut flowers and very lasting. 

 Each 15c; doz. $1.50; 100, $10.00.

SOLIDAGO- Golden Rod. 



Tenuifolia.— There are a great many species and 

 varieties of the Golden Rod, which are a good deal

 carded the others. It attains a height of two to

 graceful flower heads of brigh't golden-yellow— both 

 airy and graceful— during August and September.
