 brated, uniting great size of flowers with beauty

DICTAMNUS (Burning Bush) 



FRAXINELLA. Gas Plant. 2 feet.— A strong 

 growing plant with fragrant foliage, which bears 

 long spikes of peculiar russet-red lemon-scented

 produced during June and July, at which season 

 it throws off a combustible vapor. 



FRAXINELLA ALBA.— Pure white flowers. 



FRAXINELLA CAUCASICUS.— Flowers of the 

 same color as the species, but twice the size. 

 Each, 20c.; dozen, $2.00.

DIGITALIS OR FOXGLOVES 



HARDY DAISIES 



JAPANESE DAISY (Chrysanthemum Nipponi- 

 cum). 2 ft. — Of shrubby habit with glossy, leath- 

 ery foliage. It is crowned in September and Oc- 

 tober with a galaxy of large flowers, which have 

 pure white, wax-like petals. 



SHASTA DAISY. 6 to 12 inches.— The flowers 

 are of great substance, often 4 inches across, with 

 numerous petals of pure, glistening white and 

 bright yellow centers, on strong stems. It blooms 

 incessantly for several months. 



ALASKA. — An improvement upon the popular 

 Shasta Daisy; being larger, with numerous long, 

 graceful petals of pure shining white.

 habit, with buds and opening flowers a pleasing 

 lemon yellow and with a double row of petals.

DESMODIUM 



PENDULIFLORUM.— An exceedingly attractive 

 and efi'ective shrubby plant with finely divided 

 foliage and large, long, drooping clusters of showy 

 reddish-purple, pea-like flowers along the branches 

 in great masses, during late summer and au- 

 tumn. The plant grows 3 to 4 feet high and is 

 literally covered with its pleasing colored fiowers. 

 Besides coming, as it does, at a season when there 

 is a dearth of color upon the lawn and in the 

 border, it is of the greatest' value. 



JAPONICUM ALBUM.— Similar to the above, 

 though with white flowers. 



Strong, each, 15c.; dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



Always handsome and showy. Their large tubu- 

 lar fiowers are thickly clustered on tall spikes 

 and are produced in great profusion; ranging 

 in color from purple to white with throats vari- 

 ously spotted and colored. 



GLOXIN^FLORA.— A large flowered form of 

 the old-fashioned Foxglove. I have them in sepa- 

 rate and in mixed colors.

DORONICUM (Leopard's Bane) 



CAUCASICUM.— An early blooming plant, two 

 feet high, producing in early April bright yellow 

 flowers quite two inches in diameter, on long 

 stems. Each, 20c.; dozen, $2.00. 



EUPATORIUM (Thoroughwort)

 gust and September a profusion of small, white 

 fuzzy flowers. 



CCELESTINUM. Hardy Ageratum.— An inval- 

 uable species, growing 2 feet high and covered 

 with a mantle of rich blue fiowers, from early 

 in August until late October. The fiowers closely 

 resemble a deep -colored Ageratum and are borne 

 in equallv lavish profusion. Verv effective.

Tippecanoe Co., Ind., Nov. 28, 1913. 

 Chrysanthemum plant's came in fine condition. 

 I find in checking out that I received a nice plant 

 extra. Thanks. To say I am more than pleased 

 is putting it very mildly. S. W. Kerlin.
