LIST OF NOJ/ELTIES, ETC. 



New Hardy Plants, 



Achillea — The Pearl. 



Smail, double white flowers, covering the plant in July. Invaluable for borders. One of the 

 prettiest flowering plants and should be in every garden. 25c. 



Japan Double Anemone — Whirlwind. 



A variety of the well known Japan Anemone, producing double white flowers in great profusion in 

 the autumn. One of the finest fall-flowering perennials. Hardy. 25c. 



Rudbeckia, Golden Glow, or Summer Chrysanthemum. 



A large, showy plant, attaining in good soil a height of six to eight feet the same season planted. 

 Flowers three and one-half inches in diameter, double, well formed, and of a deep golden yellow color, 

 resembling yellow Chrysanthemums, and borne on long stems which render them suitable for cutting. 

 Plants bloom profusely from July till September. One of the best novelties in hardy flowering 

 plants. 25c. 



New Roses. 



The Wonderful New Japanese Rose, 



Crimson Rambler. 



By far the most important and valuable acquisition of recent years.] 



The Crimson Rambler is unquestionably an acquisition, a novelty of high order, and most distinct 

 in its characteristics. It is a running or clirnbing rose of vigorous habit, strong and rapid growth, with 

 handsome, shining foliage, and produces in marvelous abundance clusters of the brightest crimson semi- 

 double roses. Its clustered form, its brilliancy, the abundance of its bloom, and the great length of 

 time the flowers remain on the plant without falling or losing their brilliancy, are qualities which will 

 make this new claimant for admiration an assured favorite. For verandas, walls, pillars, and fences it 

 is a most suitable plant. If grown in beds and pegged down it produces marvelous heads of bloom, or 

 it can be grown in bush form and thus become a most striking object. We planted this rose out doors, 

 along with Hybrid Perpetuals and other hardy roses, and the plants came through the winter even 

 better than many of the hardy varieties, remaining fresh and green to the very tips. But it is not only 

 for out-door use that it is valuable ; it can also be employed most satisfactorily for decorating in-doors 

 when grown in pots. We are satisfied that this is the greatest rose novelty of recent years. Dormant 

 field-grown plants. 50c. 



Pink Rambler. 



{Eztphrosine.) 



" In vigorous growth and profusion of bloom this equals Aglaia ; the color is bright red, the half- 

 open buds being brilliant carmine ; when fully open the numerous yellow anthers give the flowers 

 a charming effect." 50c. 



White Rambler. 



{Thaiia.) 



" In growth, etc., this is similar to the preceding, only the color is pure white, and the umbels 

 much larger." 50c. 



Yellow Rambler. 



(Ag-lam.) 



" Of vigorous climbing habit, with beautiful light green foliage ; the flowers are borne in large 

 pyramidal trusses, similar to Crimson Rambler, with 50 to 150 individual blooms; the color is bright 

 yellow: the flowers are full, of beautiful shell-shaped form, with a strong tea perfume." 50c. 



Rosa]Multiflora Japonica. 



A charming species of climbing habit introduced from Japan more than a century ago, but only 

 recently brought to notice. It is exceedingly free-blooming and towards the end of June the plant is 

 covered with great clusters of small white, single, sweetly fragrant flowers, in which the golden-colored 

 anthers make a charming contrast with the snowy-white petals. It is extremely hardy and grows 

 rapidly. 50c.
