Rudbeckia, "Golden Glow." 



Phlox Divaricata Canadensis. 



One of our native varieties that is, however, but rarely 

 met with, and which has been introduced into Europe the 

 past few years as a novelty, and a plant that deserves a 

 place in every American Garden as well, being one of the 

 earliest spring flowers ; frequently beginning to flower early 

 in April, it continues until about the middle of June, with 

 large bright lilac flowers, which are produced on stems 

 about 10 inches high in large, showy heads, and are very 

 fragrant. 2 J inch pots, 75 cts. per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



Platycodon Mariesi. 



A valuable new species of the Giant Bell Flower, which 

 does not grow higher than a foot, forming a dense, branched 

 bush, and bearing deep blue, bell-shaped flowers nearly 

 three inches across, for a long season in late summer and 

 early autumn. One of the finest of border plants. The 

 unopened buds are nearly as beautiful as the flowers them- 

 selves, and are particularly interesting in their peculiar 

 shape. 



Strong roots, 75 cts. per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



Platycodon Japonicus fl. pi. 



(Double Japanese Bellflower.) 



A pretty double flowered form of Platycodon Graudiflo- 

 rum, with large, glossy, deep blue flowers, which average 

 2$ inches across. There are two rows of petals in the 

 flower, which alternate with each other, giving the flower 

 the appearance of a ten-pointed blue star. 



Strong roots, $1.00 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



Double Rudbeckia, "Golden Glow." 



A glorious plant, and one that will find a place in 

 every garden here and abroad ; of fine habit, vigorous 

 growth, with early, continuous and immense blooming 

 qualities ; it will be found excellent also for cut-flower pur- 

 poses, inasmuch as the stems are long and often carry a 

 dozen flowers furnished with most beautiful foliage. A 

 large vase filled with these flowers is a beautiful sight. 

 Strong plants 60 cts. per doz. ; $5.00 per 100.

Tritoma Pfitzerii. 



Rudbeckia (Echinacea) Purpurea. 



One of the good old hardy perennials introduced in 1799, 

 just one hundred years ago, but which has practically 

 been lost sight of for some years. We consider it one of the 

 best plants in our entire collection of hardy plants ; it is of 

 easy culture, succeeding in any soil, forming large broad 

 bushy plants. From midsummer until late in fall, it pro- 

 duces a constant succession of showy reddish purple flowers 

 about four inches across, with a remarkably large cone 

 shaped centre of brown, thickly set with golden tips in 

 spiral lines. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per dozen. 



Scabiosa Caucasica. 



This is one of the handsomest hardy perennials we pos- 

 sess, and one which should be grown in every garden, if 

 only for cutting purposes, for which they are particularly 

 adapted, lasting a long time when placed in water, and 

 their peculiar soft lilac-blue shade is charming. It is a 

 plant that stands almost alone in its beauty and character, 

 and one that can be grown in almost any soil or position, 

 and is quite hardy. Year old plants, $1.25 per dozen ; 

 $10.00 per 100. 



Tritoma Pfitzerii. (Flame Flower.) 



A grand improvement on the old Tritoma Uvaria Gran- 

 diflora, the flower spikes which are produced with consid- 

 erable more freedom than in the old variety, are of gigantic 

 size, frequently 4J feet high, with heads of bloom over 

 twelve inches long. They are of a rich crimson-scarlet, 

 shading to salmon-rose on the edges ; a really first-class 

 acquisition. 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
