A HARDY perennial pliint grow 

 ing 1 8 feet high, branching 

 freely, uud bearing by the hundreds 

 on long, graceful h terns, exquisite 

 double blossoms of the brightest 

 golden color, and as large as Cactus 

 Dahlias. The cut represents a plant 

 in bloom as photographed. Mr. Wil- 

 liam Falconer, the best authority on 

 plants in this country, says of it: 

 " When I naw the doable-flowering 

 form of Kudbeckia Laciniatu in 



bloom in your grounds in summer lust year, I was amazed, for 

 notwithstanding my long and intimate acquaintance with 

 plants, I had never before seen a double-flowered Kudbeckia, 

 and I was delighted with the fullness and gorgeousness of the 

 blossoms and their clear, bright yellow color. You gave me a 

 plant last spring, and it was set out in good garden ground. 

 It grew vigorously and threw up strong branching flower 

 stems 6 feet high, laden with sheaves of golden blossoms as 

 large as fair chrysanthemums, and all having an elegant 

 graceful appearance, without any of the stiffness in habit or 

 blossom peculiar to sun flowers. Many eminent florists and 

 amateurs have seen it here and all admired it. As cut flowers, 

 t lie blossoms last well. In fine, 1 unhesitatingly regard it as 

 the most desirable introduction among hardy perennials since 

 we got Clematis Paniculata. " It is the most effective flower- 

 ing plant for August and September in cultivation. Strong 

 plants which will bloom freely this season, 15c. each, 3

Buckbee's Monstrous 

 Flowering. 



Good Sized Bulbs, 5c. each; 40c. per dozen; 

 $3.00 per 100. 



CLASSED among the finest of plants, producing hundreds of beautiful, pure white, double flowers on long 

 and upright f talka, which are delightfully fragrant. They may be planted and cultivated in pots or in 

 open ground. If planted in the open ground they should not be put out until the summer is well advanced. 

 It is a good plan to buy the bulbs early, pot and keep in the house until they have made quite a little growth, 

 and by thus doing the blooms will surely mature before frost. They begin to flower in September, continuing 

 antil frost. For flowering in pots late in the autumn, the bulbs should be kept dry and cool until July; pot 

 them anyplace in a cool location. My select strain of sol be has no equai. and will produce larger spikes of 

 aiagant ficable sweet-scented flowers than any other strain offered. Mammoth balbs, 10c.» 3 for 25c; 



SUMMER FLOWERING OXALIS. 



TUBEROSES 



O BULBS are so valuable 

 Oxal 



for edging the borders of walks and flower beds as the beautiful flowering 

 When planted 8 inches apart, they produce an unbroken row of elegant foliage and pretty 

 flowers, and as they bloom very quickly after planting, they furnish a neat and attractive border the whole sea- 

 son. They are also splendid when planted in a mass, and make a very showy bed. The bulbs can be planted 

 the first of May, or perhaps earlier, and will be in bloom by the first of June. No flower is easier grown than 

 this, as they are sure to succeed in all soils and situations. They are also charming when grown in pots, and 

 mnke a very attractive mass of fine foliage and gay flowers. They can be planted in this way at any time during 

 the winter or spring, and will commence blooming at once. Every bulb will grow and flower beautifully.
