A HARDY perennial plant grow- 

 ing 8 feet high, branching 

 freely, and bearing by the hundreds 

 on long, graceful Htems, 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 saw the double-flowering 

 form of Kudbeckia Laciniata in 

 bloom in your grounds in summer last 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 andgorgeousness 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, 

 the blossoms last well. Inline, I unhesitatingly regard it as 

 the most desirable introduction among hardy perennials si nee 

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

 ingplant for August and September in cultivation. Strong 

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

e white, double flowers on long- 

 ted 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 agood 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 

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

 them and place in a cool location. My 6elect strain of bulbs has no equal, and will produce larger spikes of 

 elegant doublesweet-scented flowers than any otherstrain offered. Mammoth bulbs, 10c.; 3 for 25c; 

 75c per doz. 



SUMMER FLOWERING OXALIS. 



^TO BULBS are so valuable for edging the borders of walks and flower beds as the beautiful flowering 

 Oxalis. When planted 3 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 

 make 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.
