Sweet William or London Tufts 



DiANTHUS BaRBATUS. 



imp 



Startling improvements have been made during recent years in this old-tmie favorite. The flowers, too, are not 

 only larger, more brilliant and purer in cohir with an endless variety of shades, but the clusters are larger, of more 

 perfect form and are produced in the greatest profusion imaginable; completely covering the plants during June and 

 July. They are delightfully fragrant and invaluable for cutting. Should be treated as biennials. 



HUM'S PERFECTION.— The finest strain of this grand 

 old flower. In all colors and variously marked and 

 banded. 



NEWPORT PINK.— A new and distinct variety; flowers 

 a dainty watermelon-pink. Much superior to Pink Beauty. 



ROYAL IRISH. — A remarkable strain of the auricula- 

 eyed form of Sweet William, having very clearly defined 



markings, exceedingly large florets and trusses of bloom. 

 Mixed colors. 



RUBY. — Large, well-formed florets of richest dark crim- 

 son in full heads. 



SNOW. — Great trusses of pure white flowers with sta- 

 ments of dainty mauve. 



Field grown plants, each, 10c; doz.. $1.00, 100, $6.00. 



STOKESIA. 



Cornflower Aster. 

 Stokesia cyanea alba. 



CYANEA. (18 to 24 inches.) — As a single specimen or 

 grouped in the border, it makes for itself a place that is 

 not filled by any other hardy plant. Blooms from July 

 until late into October. Its beautiful Centaurea-like 

 flowers of a delicate lavender-blue color, are four or five 

 inches in diameter and are highly prized for cutting. No 

 picture or description can do justice to its delicate beauty. 

 Of the easiest culture, succeeds in any sunny location. 

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



CYANEA ALBA. — In this new variety we have a coun- 

 terpart of the species, except the flowers are pure white. 

 A valuable addition. Each, I5c; doz., $1.50. 



TANACETUM. 



HURONENESE (Blegans. Balsamita). P.ible IvEaf or 

 CosTMARY. (3 feet.) — Of erect growth with many 

 branched stems; and both stems and leaves are silvery 

 white, thickly covered with velvety down. The flowers 

 are citron-yellow and are borne in larger heads than 

 those of T. Vulgaris. By reason of the leaves emitting 

 a pleasant odor and their beauty, they were in olden 

 times used for book marks, hence the name. 



VULGARIS. Tansy. (3 feet.)— Very pretty fern-like 

 foliage and heads of yellow flowers during summer. 

 Each, 12c; doz., $1.25. 



THALICTRUM. 



ADIANTIFOLIUM. HYt 



to 2 feet.) — Leaves close- 

 ly resemble those of the 

 Maiden Hair Fern. Re- 

 markably airy and grace- 

 ful. Flowers greenish 

 yellow during August and 



September. 



AQUILEGIFOLIUM. 



Meadow Rue. (3 feet.) 

 — A graceful plant with 

 finely cut foliage and 

 airy sprays of small yel- 

 lowish white, feathery 

 flowers in profusion dur- 

 ing late summer and 

 early autumn. Especially 

 valuable for massing at 

 the back of borders. 



Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 

 100, $8.00.

 All of my plants came through the winter finely and 

 are doing well. The Phlox is the finest I ever saw and 

 the Roses and Pinks also. Mrs. A. W. Fleming.
