J.T.LOVETT, LITTLE J[LVEP^,N.J. - 



ASTILBE — Continued. 

 GLADSTONE — A very great improvement upon the 

 well known Astilbe or Spiraea Japonica, each clump pro- 

 ducing from 25 to 40 large showy lace-like spikes of 

 bloom. The plant forms large symmetrical clumps with 

 a great abundance of handsome fern-like foliage and is 

 extremely hardy. It has been fully tested and its value 

 established beyond a doubt. 



SINENSIS (Chinensis.) — A recently introduced Chi- 

 nese species of much beauty. It has dark green leaves 

 and in general resembles S. Astilboides, although a 

 stronger grower. Has tall branching feathery spikes of 

 light pink flowers which are held erect. 



Price, (except as noted), strong clumps, America 

 grown, each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



BOCCONIA CORDATA. 



Plume Poppy, 



Also known as Bocconia Japonica. A tall and stately 

 plant with very ornamental foliage, producing large term- 

 inal plume-like spikes on stems 5 to 6 feet high. Exceed- 

 ingly ornamental and flowers continuously during July and 

 August. Especially valuable for forming backgrounds 

 for borders and for grouping with shrubbery. Each, 12c ; 

 doz., $1.25 ; 100, $8.00. 



CHELONE. 



Turtle-head. Snake-head. 



Chelone glabra. 



GLABRA. (2 feet.) — A stately plant, producing 

 clustered spikes of large, white flowers in late summer 

 and autumn. It prefers a moist situation and succeeds 

 best on the border of streams. (See cut.) 



LYONI. (1 to 2 feet.) — Quite similar, except in color 

 of flowers, which are of deep reddish lilac. One of the 

 few low growing perennials that flower in late summer 

 and autumn. 

 Each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 



BOLTONIA. 



False Chamomile. 



Lovett's Dwarf Boltonia. 



Tall growing, showy border plants, producing a mass 

 of beautiful Aster-like flowers during late summer and 

 autumn. Valuable for backgrounds of borders, planting 

 with shrubbery and for cutting. 



ASTEROIDES— Pure white flowers in great numbers, 

 producing a cloud of bloom. Exceedingly efifective. Each, 

 12c; doz., $1.25 ; 100, $8.00. 



LATISQUAMAEA— Shell pink, with centers of golden- 

 yellow, resembling an Aster. Showy and very beautiful. 

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



LATISQUAMAEA NANA. Lovett's Dwarf Boltonia 

 — The flowers are identical with the species, the petals 

 being of the same tender, shell pink with bright yellow 

 centers, and are fully as large. It, however, flowers with 

 even greater freedom — completely enveloping the plant 

 with bloom, but its great merit lies in its habit, forming 

 as it does a stocky, sturdy, dense plant, 15 to 18 inches 

 high, instead of the tall, straggling plant of its parent, 

 which is so often beaten to the ground by wind and rain 

 unless given support. Lovett's Dwarf originated at the 

 Monmouth Nursery, and is such a charming plant in 

 every way it elicits universal admiration. (See cut.) 

 Strong plants, each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



From 2^ inch pots, each, 10c; doz., $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



CERASTIUM BIEBERSTEINI. 



Snow In Summer. 



A low, dense growing plant, heavily clothed with small 

 silvery leaves, which appear as though covered with 

 hoar frost. Valuable for edging, rockeries and for hold- 

 ing steep banks. Has small white flowers. The flowers 

 and leaves being larger than those of C. tomentosum, the 

 variety usually sold. Excellent for carpet bedding and 

 for covering graves. Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $6.00.
