PHYSOSTEGIA VIRGINIA. 

 Dragon Head, or Lion's Heart. 



One of the 

 finest and 

 most beauti- 

 ful of hardy 

 perennial 

 plants whose 

 merits have 

 been singu- 

 larly o V e r- 

 looiced. The 

 fiowers are 

 exceedingly 

 lovely and 

 attractive, 

 resembling 

 large Heath- 

 er or s m a 1 1 

 Orchids, of a 

 delicate 

 shell-pink, in 

 large, grace- 

 ful spikes on 

 long, strong 

 stems, pro- 

 duced in vast 

 profusion 

 from the mid- 

 dle of June 

 until frost; 

 they are very 

 lasting and 

 of great val- 

 ue for cut- 

 ting. The 

 plants form 

 large, dense 

 clumps, 

 three to four 

 feet high, require no petting and succeed on all 

 kinds of soils. Especially valuable for planting with 

 shrubbery, yet equally valuable for massing, or the 

 border. Each, 12c.; doz., $1.25; 100, 16.00. 



Alba. — A variety of the above, producing lovely 

 pure white flowers. Each, 15c.; doz., |1.50. 



PARDANTHUS SINENSIS. 



An interesting plant, bearing great numbers of 

 lily-like flowers of rich orange-yellow, thickly 

 spotted with dark crimson and brown; the seed 

 pods burst open, exposing the clusters of seeds. 

 Each, 10c. ; doz., $1.00. 



PYRETHRUM ROSEUM. 



Painted Daisies. 



PENSTEMON 



Beard Tongue. 



Barbatus Torreyi. — A 



superb, tall-growing bor- 

 der plant, presenting a 

 most showy, attractive ap- 

 pearance when in bloom, 

 and particularly effective 

 when planted with shrub- 

 bery. It flowers all 

 through Summer, on tall 

 erect stems, upon which 

 are borne long, loose pan- 

 icles of brilliant scarlet 

 flowers, exceedingly bril- 

 liant and vivid. It is 

 wonderfully free-flowering 

 and splendid for cutting. 

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



Kehvay' s Single Pyrethrums. 



Superb and popular border plants, unsurpassed 

 for profusion of bloom and beautiful foliage, and 

 are invaluable for cutting. They flower continu- 

 ously from early Spring until Autumn. The flow- 

 ers of this species, both single and double, are 

 remarkably conspicuous and beautiful, very bright 

 and showy; the foliage is highly decorative, being 

 finely cut and of such a fresh deep green color, they 

 equal a fern. All who possess a garden, large or 

 small, will find in them a source of much pheasure. 



Sin|>le {Kelway's Strain). — Probably no one has 

 done so much to develop the single section as the 

 Messrs. Kelway, of England, and those I here offer 

 are of their celebrated strain. They are truly 

 "Colored Marguerites" and possess a range of 

 color that is indescribable. The blooms are of large 

 size with fine ray florets of great substance, and in 

 many shades of white, yellow, pink and red, abso- 

 lutely perfect in form, borne on long stems and 

 highly decorative as cut flowers. They are rapidly 

 becoming very popular. Each, 12c.; doz.. $1.25; 

 100, $8.00. 



Double {Alfred Kelway). — Extremely showy and 

 attractive, with broad, massive, full, double flowers 

 of rich crimson, very intense in color; a grand ac- 

 quisition. Eich, 20c.; doz., $2.00. 



Double, Mixed {Kelway' s Strain). — The double 

 Pyrethrums are very satisfactory either in the garden 

 or as cut flowers; being large, full and of almost 

 infinite variety of color. Each, 15c.; doz., $1.50. 



STACHYS LANATA. 

 Woolly Woundwort, 



Valuable chiefly for its very ornamental foliage, 

 which renders it especially desirable for edging 

 walks, borders, etc., and also in rock work. It is a 

 low tufted plant with oblong mullein-like foliage, 

 silvery white and woolly, with stems of the same 

 character, and bears, during Summer, numerous 

 dull purple flowers. Each, 12c.; doz., $1.25; 100, 

 $6.00.
