Delightful Hardy Pinks 



Dianthus Sempcrfiorens or Everblooming Hardy Pinks. 



The Hardy Garden or Clove Pinks are as valuable as they are popular for the border and for edging. All varie* 

 ties flower with lavish profusion in May and June; the everblooming varieties continuing until late autumn. The 

 beauty and delightful fragrance of their double flowers render them invaluable for cutting. 



COMET. — Cheerful rosy crimson. 



DAINTY. — A new variety which originated at the Mon- 

 mouth Nursery. The plant is of dwarf habit — forming 

 large stools — and its large, full, double fringed flowers 

 are white, or soft pink, and rich maroon in irregular 

 whirls. The flowers are highly clove scented and of great 

 substance. It is everlastingly in bloom from June until 

 late autumn and the plants are remarkably free bloomers 

 during the whole of this long period. A delightful com- 

 panion for Perpetual Snow. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00, 



LATIFOLILS ATROCOCCIXEUS FL. PL.— A hybrid of the 

 China Pink and Sweet William, producing throughout 

 the summer large heads of double brilliant crimson-scar- 

 let, sweet scented flowers. 



PERPETUAL SNOW.— A revelation in Hardy Pinks. 

 The plant forms a dense tuft of attractive, grass-like, 

 glaucous green leaves, and from early spring until the 

 ground freees, continues to produce a lavish crop of 

 large, beautifully fringed, pure white flowers that are 

 richly clove scented. 



SEMPEBFLOREXS. Everblooming Hardy Pink. — Pro- 

 duces sweet scented double, semi-double and single flow- 

 ers in a great diversity of colors and in lavish profusion, 

 all summer and autumn. (See cut.) 



ABBOTSFORD.— Carmine-pink; large and beautiful. 



ARTHUR. — White with dark maroon center. 



ESSEX WITCH.— Pure bright pink; very free. 



HER MAJESTY.— Of large size, pure white with rich 

 clove fragrance. Flowers so numerous as to form a 

 veritable sheet of bloom. 



MRS. SIXKIXS. — Of large size, pure white flowers, 

 which are delightfully sweet; quite similar to the above. 



NEW MOUND. — Blush pink, finely fringed and very fra- 

 grant. Dwarf, compact habit; very useful for edging. 



PLUMARIUS NANUS FL. PL. Early Flowering Peren- 

 nial Pinks. — Flowers two weeks earlier than the old 

 tj-pes. Their freedom of bloom is marvelous. Very fra- 

 grant; colors rich and varied. 



SOUT. DE SAALE. — Large, rosy piiok, profuse. A 

 strong grower, superb in every way. 



Except as noted, each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 

 A set of 13 varieties for $1.75. 



PLATYCODON. 



Bell Flower. 



Platycodon Leichtlini. 



LEICHTLINI. Clematis Flowered Bell Flower.— A 

 very valuable Hardy Perennial produced by Prof. Max 

 Leichtlin, Baden-Baden, Germany, the result of twenty- 

 three years of careful and painstaking work. It forms 

 compact clumps, never more than a foot in height, which 

 are literally covered, from June until October, with large, 

 star-like flowers of great substance and deepest violet- 

 blue color; resembling the flowers of Clematis Jackmani. 



MARIESI. — A plant with attractive foliage and of dwarf 

 habit; producing a profusion of star-like flowers two 

 inches or more in diameter, of intense dark blue, all 

 summer. 



MARIESI ALBA. — Identical with the last named except 

 in color of flowers, which is pure white. 



Strong roots, each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00.
