THE LOV£TT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. / 



AMSONIATABERNOEMONTANA, 



France rose color and cheerful lemon-yellow pistils and 

 stamens, producing a harmony of color truly poetical. 

 It is of the easiest culture, succeeding equally well in 

 moist or di-y situations and always growing vigorously. 

 The seed germinates quickly; the plants beginning to 

 bloom when a foot high, continuing without interrupt- 

 ion until after heavy frost. In fact, wherever plants 

 of Kosteletzkya stand a beauty spot is produced. It is 

 not a mere variety but a genus and Tii'ginica is the 

 only species of the genus in cultivation. Introduced by 

 us and fli'st offered in spring of 1S95. Pink Beauty is 

 entirely distinct from anything in cultivation. 1 }-r..

HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. 



Coral Bells. 

 {Shown in colors on first page of caver.) 



This is one of the few lovely native flowers long 

 known to botanists but which has never been properly 

 brought to the notice of the public. It is as hardy as 

 an oak and once established will last a lifetime; grow- 

 ing more beautiful yearly. It forms a most syrmnetri- 

 cal and elegant tuft composed of a number of stems 

 about two feet high, clothed from base to s um mit with 

 neat willow-like foliage, which remains fresh and bright 

 throughout the entire summer, presenting at all times 

 a remarkably clean and cheerful appearance. Dm'ing 

 June each stem is crowned with several clusters of deli- 

 cate lavender lacelike flowers, lighting up the mass of 

 lively green leafage in a most charming manner. Val- 

 uable for permanent beds and borders. Owing to its 

 elegant and graceful habit and ii'onclad hardiness, 

 especially adapted for edging shrubberies and walks. 

 ^Ve believe we are doing our flowerloving friends a 

 veritable kindness in calling their attention to this 

 splendid herbaceous plant. Sti'ong, handsome, field- 

 grown plants, ea., 25c; 3 for 60; doz.. 82.00. 

 PSNK BEAUTY ''Kosteletzkya Virginicai. 



Of sttrrd}' habit, 

 attaining a height of 

 three to four feet, 

 spreading eighteen to 

 twenty-four inches 

 and exceedingly flor- 

 if erous the entire 

 summer and autxLmn 

 months. The indi- 

 \'idual blossoms are 

 from two to two and 

 one-half inches in 

 diameter, perfectly 

 flat and almost as 

 regular and round as 

 silver dollars; of the 

 most tender, bright 

 rosy-pink i m a g i n - 

 able, ■^^-ith delicate 

 veinings upon the 

 petals; the reverse of 

 the petals being sH- 

 very-rose or La 



Truly a floral gem and one of the most valuable ad- 

 ditions to the list of hardy fioweriag plants that has ai>- 

 peared in a long titne. The foliage, which is evergreen, 

 is beautifuUy cut and marbled, and is very abundant. 

 The flowers are borne in large, open, clean-stemmed 

 panicles and are of the most clear, bright, cheerful and 

 charming scarlet imaginable. Although the flowers 

 are small, yet they are so numerous in each pardcle and 

 the panicles thi'OT^-n up in such profusion as to produce a 

 most brilliant effect. Blooming as it does for a peried of 

 several weeks, and as each plant sends up a dozen or 

 more stems of its lovely flowers at a time, some idea of 

 its beauty and value can be formed. It is a charm- 

 ing plant for the border and will give pleasure in any 

 situation as it succeeds eve^^*where and blooms un- 

 ceasingly. 



In the AmeHcan Florist report of last Spring's 

 Montreal Exhibition we find the following: 



"•A plant of Heuchera sanguinea in a T-inch pot. with 

 a himdred spikes of bloom, which was brought in by 

 ilr. George Robinson, attracted considerable attention. 

 ]Mr. R. says he dug it up in October from the border, 

 where it had been blooming all summer, and it 

 commenced to bloom in January, and has been a mass 

 of bloom ever since."
