SIMA SEMPERFLORENS 



[f^hojvn in colors upon front cover) 



A fearful name indeed, yet a correct one, for it is 

 truly an everblooming, double form of the old hardy 

 Lychnis or true Ragged Robin, The flowers, which 

 are produced in bewildering profusion, are very dou- 

 ble, borne upon long bushy spikes and are of an exquis- 

 ite bright tender rose in color. Splendid for cutting 

 and one of the easiest of all plants to force under glass 

 or in the house, blooming constantly from October un- 

 til April. It is one of the greatest additions to the list 

 of .hardy perennials that has appeared for a long time, 

 beginning to bloom in early spring and continuing the 

 entire summer. And it is so charming in both color 

 and make up that everyone should have it and it should 

 be in every collection. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50,
