J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



CENTRANTHUS. 



BUBEK. Red Valerian. Jupiter's Beard. (2 feet.) 

 — An old fashioned, very valuable species and one of the 

 few low growing perennials that flower late in the sea- 

 son. It is of spreading habit with small, clean, fresh 

 appearing foliage and numerous clusters of reddish-purple 

 flowers. It flowers constantly from June until October. 

 Excellent for the border and for rockeries. Useful for 

 cutting. Large plants, each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



COREOPSIS. 



LANCEOLATA. Golden Wave.— The true variety. The 

 best hardy yellow flower for massing. Incessant in bloom 

 and so rich and intense in color as to attract all behold- 

 ers, I tforms a compact clump of upright form 2 to 3 



feet high with large flowers of a dazzling golden-yellow 



on slender stems a foot long; splendid for cutting. The 



true variety begins to flower early in June, continuing in 

 ibloom until frost, and is entirely hardy. 



LANCEOLATA GRANDIFLOBA.— A variety of the pre- 

 ■ceding with larger flowers of the same bright golden 

 yellow. It is not so hardy, however. 



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



BUSH CLEMATIS. 



DAVIDLANA. (2 to 3 feet.) — Produces large clusters of 

 beautiful, fragrant, Hyacinth-like flowers of deep celestial 

 blue, in great numbers, from middle of July until last of 

 September. By reason of its fresh, rich green foliage 

 and abundance of beautiful, attractive flowers, it is espe- 

 cially valuable for planting with shrubbery or in the 

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



CERASTIUM BIEBERSTEINL 



Snow in Summer.

 silvery leaves, which appear as though covered with hoar 

 frost. Valuable for edging, rockeries and for holding 

 steep banks. Has small white flowers. The flowers and 

 leaves are larger than those of C. tomentosum, the va- 

 riety usually sold. Excellent for carpet bedding and for 

 covering graves. Each, 10c; doz., $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



CHELONE. 



Turtle-head. Snake-head. 



GLABRA. (2 feet.) — A stately plant, producing clus- 

 tered spikes of large white flowers in late summer and 

 autumn. It prefers a moist situation and succeeds best 

 on the borders of streams. 



LYONI. (1 to 2 feet.)— Quite similar, except in color 

 of flowers, which are of deep reddish lilac. One of the 

 few low growing perennials that flower in late summer 

 and autumn. Each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 



HARDY DAISIES. 



Shasta Daisy. 



JAPANESE DAISY (Chrysanthemum Nipponicum.) (2 

 feet.) — A Japanese species of shrubbery habit with glossy, 

 leathery foliage. It attains a height of 2 feet and is 

 crowned in September and October with a galaxy of 

 large flowers, which have pure white, wax-like petals and 

 bright yellow centers. 



SHASTA DAISY. (6 to 12 inches.)— Euther Burbank's 

 hybrid Daisy, remarkable for its large size, grace and 

 beauty. 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. (See cut.) 



ALASKA. — A very great improvement upon the popular 

 Shasta Daisy; being larger, (blooms measure to 5 



inches across), with numerous long, graceful petals of 

 pure shining white. It is very free flowering and much 

 hardier than the parent. 



CALIFORNIA.— Similar to Alaska in size and habit with 

 buds and opening flowers a pleasing lemon yellow and 

 with a double row of petals. The color changes to pure 

 white when a day or two old. 



Each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00. Set of 4 for 50c.
