ASTER. Starwort 



Alpinus Superbus. EARLY ASTER.— 8 in. 

 Showy lavender-purple flowers in May and 

 June. 



Nova Anglea. NEW ENGLAND ASTER. 

 — 1 ft Bluish purple; large flowers in masses. 



Nova Anglea Rosea. 4 feet.— The showiest 

 of all Hardy Asters. Produces masses of rosy- 

 pink flowers in late summer. Strong growing 

 and exceedingly free blooming. 



Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



ASTILBE. Spiraea 



Gladstone. — Flowers are white, similar to 

 Astilbe or Spiraea Japonica, but a great im- 

 provement, each plant producing many large 

 lace-like spikes of bloom. 



Queen Alexandra. — Notably beautiful, with 

 soft dainty pink flowers. True to the type of 

 an Astilbe and perfectly hardy. 



Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00. 



BOCCONIA. Plume Poppy 



Cordata (JAPONICA). — A tall, almost im- 

 posing plant with ornamental foliage, produc- 

 ing large terminal spikes of cream-colored 

 flowers on stems, 5 to 6 feet high, during July 

 and August. 



Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



BOLTONIA 



Asteroides. — Small pure white Aster-like 

 flowers in great numbers, producing a cloud 

 of bloom. Tall habit. 



Latisquamaea. — Shell-pink flowers, with 

 golden-yellow centers; resembles Asters. 5 ft. 



Latisquamaea Nana. LOVETT'S DWARF 

 BOLTONIA.— Although the separate bloom 

 is identical with the one above, the plant is 

 in several respects superior. The beautifully 

 delicate shell-pink flowers, with their bright 

 yellow centers, are fully as large, but so freely 

 produced that the plant is a pink misty mass. 

 However, the greatest improvement is in the 

 plant itself, which, instead of being straggling 

 and easily laid low by the wind, is stocky, 

 sturdy and dense. 15 to 18 in. 



Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



CENTAUREA. Hardheads 



Montana. PERENNIAL CORN FLOWER. 

 — About 2 feet. Has large violet-blue, fringe- 

 like flowers resembling the annual corn flower 

 in general shape, but two or three inches 

 across. Flowers during July, August and Sep- 

 tember. Very easily cultivated. 



Montana Alba. — Same as above, except 

 white. 



Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



COREOPSIS 



Lanceolata. GOLDEN WAVE. — There is 

 no other hardy yellow flower so satisfactory 

 for massing. It blooms incessantly from early 

 June until frost, producing great quantities of 

 very rich golden yellow single flowers about 

 two inches in diameter. Entirely hardy. 2 

 to 3 feet. 



Each, 15c; dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



CON V ALL ARIA. Lily of the Valley 



This universal fa- 

 vorite scarcely needs 

 description, but our 

 enthusiasm forces 

 us to attempt to 

 introduce it to all 

 who may not know 

 it. We offer the 

 American - grown 

 plants of the giant- 

 flowered variety. 

 The plants with 

 large luxuriant glos- 

 sy dark green leaves 

 and small bell- 

 shaped deliciously 

 fragrant flowers in racemes are a great addi- 

 tion to any garden or lawn. Succeeds best in 

 partial shade, in rich soil with plenty of ma- 

 nure. One of the best flowers for cutting. 

 8 to 9 in. 



Each, 15c; dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 

 Strong clumps, each, 25c; dozen, $2.50. 



DELPHINIUM. Larkspur 



Belladonna. 2 feet. — Flowers are fine tur- 

 quoise blue. It blooms freely and continu- 

 ously from early summer to late autumn. A 

 very valuable variety. 



Formosum. — Our grandmothers loved, and 

 in their gardens grew, this Larkspur, yet to- 

 day it is enjoying great popularity. Many 

 now recognize it would be difficult to surpass 

 in beauty, grace or usefulness this old friend 

 of flowers. Long spikes of most intense dark- 

 blue flowers, an inch across, with white cen- 

 ters, are thrown all summer. Grows about 3 

 feet tall. 



Hybridum. ENGLISH LARKSPUR— Of 

 later production than Formosum, this variety 

 has become justly celebrated, for the flowers 

 are not only very large, but unusually beauti- 

 ful. The colors vary from light to dark and 

 intermediate shades of blue, deep indigo, and 

 violet lustered with metallic effect. Numerous 

 tall stalks from 3 to 5 feet, clothed half their 

 length with bloom, are produced throughout 

 the entire summer. 



Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $15.00. 



DICTAMNUS. Burning Bush 



Fraxinella. GAS PLANT. 2 feet.— Long 

 spikes of unusual but interesting purplish-red 

 flowers of good size come during June and 

 July. A combustible vapor is produced on 

 warm evenings and the odor is disagreeable to 

 some. It is a strong growing plant and 

 effective. 



Fraxinella alba. — Exactly like the above in 

 every way, except the flowers are pure white. 

 Each, 25c; dozen, $2.50. 



ERYNGIUM 



Amethystinum. SEA HOLLY. 3 to 5 feet. — 

 The flower-heads, which appear in summer 

 and autumn, somewhat resemble thistles, and 

 are a peculiar metallic blue. It is effective 

 when grown in mass, and always interesting 

 when in bloom. Very hardy and remains at 

 its best for a protracted period. 



Each, 20c; dozen. $2.00: 100, $12.00.
