Astilbe Davidi. 



DAVIDI. (4 to 5 feet.) — Produces numerous tall, grace- 

 ful, feathery panicles of cheerful deep lavender flowers, 

 during the whole summer; form.s dense tufts of fern-like 

 leaves that are bronzy-green when young, turning to 

 bright green. The flower spikes, or panicles, are fre-

 dark green, finely cut, fern-like foliage. It forms a bushy 

 plant, 12 to IS inches high, which is surmounted by large, 

 dense, feathery panicles of creamy white flowers, during 

 early summer. Very popular for forcing in winter. 



GLADSTONE. A very great improvement upon the well- 

 known Astilbe or Spiraea Japonica; each clump producing 

 from 25 to 40 large showy, lace-like spikes of bloom. The 

 plant forms large symmetrical clumps with a great abun- 

 dance of handsome fern-like foliage and is extremely 

 hardy.

 species of much beauty. It has dark green leaves and tall 

 branching, feathery spikes of light pink flowers which are

BOLTONIA. 



False Chamomile. 



Lovett's Dzvarf Boltonia. 



Tall growing, showy border plants, producing a mass 

 of beautiful Aster-like flowers during late summer and 

 autumn. Valuable for background of borders, planting 

 with shrubbery and for cutting.

 bers, producing a cloud of bloom. Exceedingly effective. 

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



LATISQUAMAEA.— Shell pink, with centers of golden- 

 yellow, resembling an Aster. STiowy and very beautiful. 

 Each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



LATISQrAMAEA NANA. Lovett's Dware Boltonia.— 

 The flowers are identical with the species, the petals being 

 of the same tender, shell pink with bright yellow centers, 

 and are fully as large. It, however, flowers with even 

 greater freedom — completely enveloping the plant with 

 bloom, but its great merit lies in its habit, forming as it 

 does a stocky, sturdy, dense plant, 15 to 18 inches high, 

 instead of the tall, straggling plant of its parent, which 

 is so often beaten to the ground by wind and rain unless 

 given support. Lovett's Dwarf originated at the Mon- 

 mouth Nursery, and is such a charming plant in every 

 way it elicits universal admiration. (See cut.) Strong 

 plants, each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100. $10.00. 



CARYOPTERIS. 



MASTAf.4XTHA. (2 to 3 feet.)— Of singularly neat and 

 clean habit; flowering from August until hard frosts. The 

 flowers are produced in astonishing profusion, in flat 

 heads of rich lavender blue, always one of the rarest and 

 most pleasing colors, but especially acceptable late in the 

 season. Its masses of bright blue are delightfully effec- 

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