ANEMONE. Wind Flower. 



Anemone Japonica alba {Honorine Jobert). 

 The beauty and puiity of the flowers of this 

 Anemone are impossible to properly describe 

 or illustrate. Unquestionably one of the 

 finest autumn flowers; of thrifty habit and 

 neat, compact form. It blooms constantly 

 and profusely from September until frost. 

 The flowers are large, pm-e white with yellow 

 stamens, and are borne on long stems, ap- 

 pearing as if floating in the aii-; exceedingly 

 chaste and excellent for cutting and decora- 

 tion. Blooming as it does when there are 

 comparatively few flowers, it is especially 

 welcome, Ea., 15; 3 for 35; doz., .$1.25. 



Anemone Japonica hybrida. A grand new 

 variety, quite identipal with the preceding 

 except in color, which is xiaJe lilac rose with 

 yellow centre. A charming and delicate color. Even 

 more beautiful than the preceding, if possible. The two 

 planted as companions produce an effect when in bloom so 

 exquisitely beautiful that the impression on seeing them ig 

 so pleasing and deep that it can never fade from one's memory. {Shoicn in 

 colors on front cover). Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25. 



Anemone Whirlwind. A new semi-double form of Aneynone Japonica 

 alba which is supposed to be a cross between this beautiful variety and A. 

 Japonica rosea. In general style and habit it is identical with the white Ane- 

 mone, is even more free-flowering. The flowers which are two and one-half to 

 thi-ee inches across, have several rows of pm-e white sepals, and the advantage 

 of lasting much longer than the single varieties. {Shoivn on front cover). Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25. 



HYPERICUM MOSERIANUM. 



PLATYCODON MARIESI. 



This is one of the 

 most splendid addi- 

 tions to our list of har- 

 dy perennials made in 

 recent years. The 

 plant is of a shrubby 

 character growing two 

 or three feet high with 

 age; covered with smooth, handsome foliage. Dm-ing 

 summer and fall it is literally buried imder masses of 

 glittering golden j'ellow flowers more than two inches 

 in diameter and of a peculiar shining satiny textm-e. 

 with an odd and beautiful mossy centre. These 

 large and handsome flov^ ers produced in such pro- 

 fusion over the entire plant render it a sti-iliing 

 object of atti'action and admiration and it is of so 

 easy culture that it succeeds everywhere. It is a plant 

 for everybody. The humblest door yard and the pleas- 

 ure ground of the palace are alike incomplete without 

 it. The shrub-like form of the plant makes it 

 highly desirable for border planting and it is de- 

 servedly a popular favorite. Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c: 

 doz., $1 25. 



The Platycodon grandiflorum. with its large, beau- 

 tiful, deep blue bell-like flowers has always been an iu- 

 teresting and much admired hardy perennial; bloom- 

 ing as it does \\ix\\. such great profusion for so long a 

 season. The objection to it has been its tall and sprawl- 

 ing habit. In this variety we have all the beauty of 

 flower and profusion of bloom of the species united 

 ^%-ith a plant of elegant, very dwarf habit, attaining a 

 height of but six to twelve inches. The star-shaped 

 flowers are two inches in diameter and of the most in- 

 tense pm-e dark blue. A grand flower in every way 

 and deserving of great attention. It should find a 

 place in every garden. Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25.
