graceful plant 

 growing four feet or

 from early sum- 

 mer until frost.

situation.

Pfitzeri. Everbloomixg Flame Flower.— Re- 

 markable for the large size of its flower heads and 

 for its early, free and continuous-blooming habit. It 

 is the greatest bloomer of the family, throwing up 

 constantly, throughout the summer and autumn, 

 stout stems from three to four feet high, crowned 

 with large spikes or heads of a rich, vivid orange- 

 scarlet: producing a gorgeous blaze of color, when 

 massed in the border or ou the lawn, that is truly 

 startling. It has sword-shaped foliage, and is a 

 plant admirable for the foreground of shrubbery or 

 for any situation where bright color is desired. 

 Needs protection in winter. Each 1.5c; doz. $1.50; 

 100, $10.00.

VINCA Periwinkle 



Minor.— Known also as Trailing Myrtle. A creeper 

 of shrubb.v habit, but so largely planted with Hardy 

 Perennials I include it among them. It is of rapid 

 growth and quickly produces a dense carpet af foli- 

 age. It retains its glossy, deep green leaves through- 

 out the year and presents in spring and early sum- 

 mer, a blanket of bright blue flowers. Much used 

 for covering graves and of special vah-ie for carpet- 

 ing under shrubs and in groves of trees where grass 

 will not grow. It is also of great value for holding 

 steep banks to prevent washing and is exceedingly 

 attractive in foliage at all seasons of the year. 



Minor alt a. — Similar to the above, except the flow- 

 ers are pure white. 



Minor variegata.— A variety of the preceding with 

 leaves distinctly and prettily margined with blue. 



Each 10c; doz. $1.00; 100, $.5.00.
