The Beautiful Japanese Anemones 



Wixi> Flowers 



These are among the most beautiful and valuable Hardy 

 Perennials; highly ornamental in foliage and blooming 

 continuously and freely from August until frost. The 

 flowers are large, exceedingly chaste and pure in color, 

 on long stems and wonderfully graceful; surpassing even 

 in refined beautj' the Cosmos and unsurpassed for cutting. 

 .Mthough the Japanese Anemones are hardy, it is well to 

 give them a slight protection in winter, as they are some- 

 times damaged by cold in severe winters when unpro- 

 tected. 



ALBA. (18 inches.) — Flowers large, single, pure white, 

 with yellow stamens; very beautiful and chaste. 



ELEGAMISSMA. (18 inches.)— Flowers large, made up 

 of two distinct sets of petals and are of a most beautiful 

 satiny-rose color. (See cut.) 



LADY ABDILAO. (18 inches.) — Similar to, but even 

 finer than, 7. Alba, the flowers being larger, more numer- 

 ous, pure white, with overlapping petals and with extra 

 tall, stiff stems. A most profuse bloomer.

 flowers; dark purplish-red — the deepest in color of the

PEXNSYLVAXICA. Pennsylvania Windflower — A beau- 

 tiful, summer blooming, native species with flowers almost 

 as large and pretty as those of the Japanese varieties. It 

 succeeds in both shady situations and in full sunlight,

August, on stems a foot or more in height. Excellent 

 also for the rock garden. Each, 12c; doz., $1.25. 



ASCLEPIAS. 



njBEBOSA. Butterfly Flower. (2 feet.)— Although 

 of American origin and occasionally to be found in fields 

 and meadows throughout the Middle States, this is one

 is highly prized throughout Europe, as it should be in 

 America. It forms fleshy roots and is exceedingly hardy; 

 thrives in all soils and produces numerous large, compact, 

 flat heads of bright orange-yellow flowers — a color found 



in no other hardy perennial — during the entire summer.
