 red, very showy ; ex- 

 c e e d i n g ly lasting,

 inch pots, each, 10c; doz., $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



ACONITUM. 



AIOXKSHOOD. 



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

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

 September. Especially valuable for planting in shaded 

 situations.

 cut foliage. The flowers are bright yellow on stems 

 about a foot high. Valuable alike for rock gardens and 

 the border. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



AEGOPODIUM PODOGARIA 

 VARIEGATA. 



Bishop's Weed. 

 A strong growing, very enduring plant, which holds 

 its variegation without fading or burning throughout the 

 hottest weather. It grows 12 to 18 inches high, has 

 prettily formed leaves of light green, broadly marked 



with creamy white, in dense masses. Succeeds upon 

 poorest soil, under trees, etc., and is especially valuable 

 for forming borders, grouping with shrubbery and for 

 cemetery planting. Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



AMARYLLIS HALLI— (Lycoris 

 squami gera) 



Hall's Hardy Amaryllis. 



Another year serves more fully to confirm my high 

 opinion of this hardy bulb. 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 the 

 bulbs had perished ; but, lo ! in a month or six weeks 

 the flower stalks are thrown up 2 or 3 feet high and are 

 crowned with clusters of exquisitely beautiful orchid- 

 like flowers, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The flowers are 

 delicate lilac-pink, shaded with sky blue, and there are 

 from 8 to 10 upon each stalk. 



An authority, in speaking of this superb hardy bulb, 

 says, "There is no hardy plant that possesses greater 

 interest than this. In early spring the foliage appears in 

 long, strap-like, light green leaves, which die away in 

 July, to be succeeded in late August by the wonderfully 

 effective, soft pink flowers with faint metallic tinges of 

 lavender." 



Be sure and get the true variety as other and inferior 

 varieties are being sold for it. The true sort is perfectly- 

 hardy without protection and needs no special culture. 

 Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 



ACORUS JAPONICUS VARIEGATUS. 



Variegated Sweet Flag. 

 Valued for its smooth, sword-like foliage of light green, 

 broadly margined with clear, creamy white. Requires a 

 moist or wet situation. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



Lewis Co., Wash., Nov. 16, 190S. 

 Years ago (about 25 years), when I lived in Buffalo, N. Y., you kept a nursery at Little Silver, X. J. I had 

 some trees from you — the best trees I ever had from any nurseryman in the L'niied States, and true to name. I saw 

 your name in a magazine or paper the other day. If this is the same firm as the old J. T. Lovett Nursery, etc., 

 please send me a catalog. I want to get good, reliable Peony roots that I can depend upon, which is almost im- 

 possible to get here. ji^ q WIXKLER.
