type, the beautiful Forget-Me-Not-like flowers being much larger than 
others and of a lovely Gentian blue, produced in long, loose sprays.

entire season and until late in the fall. Price, 35c. each. S3. 50 per doz.

showiest late flowering plants and adds a mass of color to the fall 
garden. The flowers are bright pink with a golden center. Price, 50c. 
each, $5.00 per doz. 
DELPHINIUM FORMOSUM or Hardy Blue Larkspur

June and July long spikes of showy, velvety, indigo-blue flowers. Make 
a grand border plant, and the spikes are fine for cutting. Price, 35c. each, 
$3.50 per doz.

ground. Very useful for borders. Does well in partial shade. Price,

GAILLARDIA GRANDIFLORA or Blanket Flower 
Amongst the ever-blooming hardy plants there is none more showy 
or ornamental than this. Flowers borne in prodigal profusion from June 
to frost, useful for cut flowers. They are of gorgeous coloring, dark 
red-brown in' center with bands of crimson-orange and vermillion, 
meriting the popular title of "Aurora Flower." Height, 2 feet. Price, 
35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
New Early Flowering GYPSOPHILA EHRLEI 
Gypsophila Ehrlei surpasses any that has ever been introduced. It 
is a distinct new form, early, pure white, double-flowering and not a 
variety of the plentiful Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi. An additional 
feature of this novelty is that its largest crop of flowers is produced 
before paniculata begins to bloom. After the main crop has been cut, 
flower spikes still make their appearance until frost. It is far superior 
to Gypsophila pan. fl. pi. because of the enormous size of its pure white 
flowers. Flowers were cut as late as November 15th. Strong field grown, 
grafted plants. 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
PHYSOSTEGIA GRANDIFLORA VIVID 
One of the most beautiful of our midsummer flowering perennials- 
This is a new variety growing from 18 to 24 inches high. The flowers 
are a bright violet mauve, much larger than the older sorts. Price, 
35c. each, $3.50 per doz. . 
VINCA or Creeping Myrtle 
Well known trailing plants. They are used extensively for covering 
the ground under shrubs or trees and in cemeteries for covering graves. 
They will grow where it is too shady for grass or other plants to thrive. 
Delicate blue flowers. Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz.

varieties, at S3. 50 per dozen or $25.00 per 100. For a garden 6x6 feet,

drooping in habit and the plant, whether in bloom or not, presents a 
highly ornamental effect. It can be used to advantage in any situation.
