Sweet Rocket 

 Stokesia (Cornflower Aster) 



PER PKT. 



4051 Cyanea. This is not new, but is a 

 rare and beautiful hardy perennial. 

 The plant grows about 24 inches 

 high, each bearing from 20 to 30 

 handsome lavender-blue cornflower- 

 like blossoms; in bloom from July 

 till frost. One of the choicest sub- 

 jects for the hardy border and indis- 

 pensable for cutting SO 10 



4060 Cyanea Mixed. Containing a 



number of colors 15 



ThalictrUITl (Meadow Rue) pER pKT 



4305 Aquilegifolium. A beautiful hardy perennial; with elegant Col- 

 umbine-like foliage and masses of feathery white flowers in June and 

 July; 3 feet $0 10 



4306 Dipterocarpum. Though'intro- 

 duced some years ago, this beauti- 

 ful species is yet but little known. 

 We consider it one of the real gems 

 among hardy plants, not only for 

 the garden but its dainty, graceful 

 sprays of flowers, elegantly arranged 

 on stems 4 feet high, are invaluable 

 for cutting; the flowers are of charm- 

 ing shade of violet-mauve, which 

 is brightened by a bunch of lemon- 

 yellow stamen and anthers 25 



Tritoma 



(Red-hot Poker, Flame 

 Flower, or Torch Lily) 



4330 Hybrida. The intro- 

 duction of new con- 

 tinuous flowering Tri- 

 tomas has given them 

 a prominent place 

 among hardy bedding 

 plants. It is not gen- 

 erally known that 

 they are readily grown 

 from seed. The seed 

 we offer has been 

 saved from a collec- 

 tion, which is un- 

 doubtedly the finest 

 in this country. 2
