SALVIA AZUREA GRANDIFLORA. 



CAt-iFnRviA Blue Sage, 



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 beauties become more 

 manifest the nearer it is approached. Each, 12c; doz., 

 $1.23; 100, $8.00. 



SCABIOSA. 



CAUCASICA. Blue Bonxet— The flowers are a soft 

 lavender and are borne on strong stems, 15 to 18 inches 

 tall, from June imtil September. A very handsome and 

 valuable hardy perennial ; one of the best for cutting and 

 remains in good condition for a long time. 



- OCHROLEUCA. (2H ft.)— Yellow flowers, July to 

 September. 



Each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 



SOLIDAGO. Golden Rod. 



SEMPERVIRENS. Seaside Golden Rod.— A very 

 distinct species. It has large, long smooth leaves and 

 is a strong sturdy growing plant. In August and Sep- 

 tember it produces numerous large stems two to three 

 feet tall, which are surmounted with very large graceful 

 panicles of exceedingly bright and pleasing light yellow 

 flowers. Succeeds everywhere, even in sea-sand. 



TENUIFOLIA. — There are a great many species and 

 varieties of the Golden Rod, which are a good deal alike. 

 As 5". tenuifolia is much the best, I have discarded the 

 others. It attains a height of two to three feet with 

 spreading branches ; stems slender with narrow leaves, 

 and surmounted with long, graceful flower heads of 

 bright golden-yellow — both airy and graceful — during 

 August and September. Succeeds everywhere. 



Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, S8.00. 



SEDUM. 



Stonecrop. 



ACRE. Golden Moss or Wall Pepper. (4 inches.) — 

 Pretty light green, evergreen foliage with clouds of small 

 bright yellow flowers in June and July. Largely used for 

 covering graves and in carpet bedding. 



ALBUM. (6 inches.) — Clear green foliage in tufts and 

 showy heads of white flowers from June to August. 



MAXIMOWICKSII. (18 inches.)— Bright yellow 

 flowers in broad showy heads in July and August, 



MAXIMUM VARIEGATUM.— Of strong erect growth 

 with large oval, smooth, glaucous leaves, broadly marked 

 and blotched with creamy white. Especially valuable for 

 rock planting. 



SARMENTOSUM CARNEUM, {Carneam Variega- 

 turn.) — A low dense growing plant with a mass of small 

 evergreen leaves marked and striped with creamy white, 

 V aluable for carpeting, edging and rock planting. 



SIEBOLDII. (6 to 9 inches.) — An invaluable variety 

 of semi-trailing habit and evergreen foliage. From August 

 until late October it produces large heads of bright rosy- 

 purple flowers very freely and its red stems and round 

 bluish green leaves, margined with pink, which are 

 tinged with red and purple during winter, render it a 

 remarkably neat and attractive plant throughout the year. 

 Splendid for rock planting also. 



S edit in spectabilis. 



SPECTABILIS. Showy Sedum, (18 inches,)— Of 

 erect habit and the finest of the Sedums. Large oval, 

 light green, succulent leaves and a profusion of broad 

 heads of showy rosy pink flowers in late summer and 

 autumn. One of the few plants of dwarf habit that 

 flowers late in the season. See cut. 



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



TANACETUM. 



HURONENSE (Elegans. Balsamita). Bible Leaf or 

 CosTMARY. (3 feet.) — Of erect growth with many branched 

 stems ; and both stems and leaves are silvery white, 

 thickly covered with velvety down. The flowers are 

 citron-yellow and are borne in larger heads than those of 

 T. Vulgaris. By reason of the leaves emitting a pleasant 

 odor and their beauty, they were in olden times used for 

 book marks, hence the name. 



VULGARIS. Tansy. (3 feet.)— Very pretty fern-like 

 foliage and heads of yellow flowers during summer. 



Each, 12c; doz., $1.25. 



Received the plants all right, and were in good shape.
