SEDUM (Stonecrop) 

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

 — Pretty light green, evei-green foliage with clouds 

 of small bright yellow flowers in June and July. 



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

 tufts and showy heads of white flowers from June 

 to August. 



SIEBOLDII. ( 6 to 9 inches. ) —An invaluable va- 

 riety 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 frosted leaves, 

 margined with pink, which are tinged with red 

 and purple during winter, render it a remarkably 

 neat and attractive plant throughout the year.

 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.

 wort. (12 inches.) — Its fern-like foliage of deep 

 green is exceedingly attractive, and the stems sup- 



port beautiful heads of double white flowers with 

 a creamy tinge, in great profusion throughout 

 the summer.

 taurea-like flowers of a delicate lavender-blue 

 color are four or five inches in diameter and are 

 highly prized for cutting. No picture or descrip- 

 tion can do justice to its delicate beauty. 



CYANEA ALBA. — In this new variety we have 

 a counterpart of the species, except the flowers 

 are pure white. 



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



Sweet William (London Tufts) 



DiANTHUS BaRBATUS 



Startling improvements have been made during recent years in this old-time favorite. The flowers, 

 too, are not only larger, more brilliant and purer in color with an endless variety of shades, but the clusters 

 are larger, of more perfect form and are produced in the greatest profusion imaginable; completely covering 

 the plants during June and July. They are delightfully fragrant and invaluable for cutting. Should be 

 treated as biennials. 



HUNT'S PERFECTION.— The finest strain of 

 this grand old flower. In all colors and variously 

 marked. 



NEWPORT PINK.— A new and distinct variety ; 

 flowers a dainty watermelon-pink. Much superior 

 to Pink Beauty. 



ROYAL IRISH.— A remarkable strain of the 

 auricula- eyed form of Sweet William, having very 



48 



clearly defined markings, exceedingly large florets 

 and trusses of bloom. Mixed colors. 



RUBY. — Large, well-formed florets of richest 

 dark crimson in full heads. 



SNOW.— Great trusses of pure white flowers 

 with stamens of dainty mauve. 



Field-grown plants, each, 10c. ; dozen, $1.00; 

 100, $6.00.
