While hardy as far north as Philadelphia, this must 
be planted in a well-drained, sheltered position, preferably in a 
sandy, peat soil, under which conditions it will grow 5 to 6 feet 
high and will frequently have from twelve to fifteen expanded 
flowers on a single shoot at one time. The flowers are white, 
six inches and over in diameter, and of a peculiarly delicate 
texture, the petals somewhat transparent, yet enduring in a good 
state for several days. Their fragrance is delicate, somewhat 
like that of a magnolia. $1.00 each.

Spirza Aruncus Kneiffi. 
Although introduced some four years since, this handsome 
variety of Meadow Beauty is still practically unknown. It is per- 
fectly hardy and should find a place in a damp position in the 
perennial border, where, under favorable conditions, it will 
form a plant 3 to 4 feet high, with finely divided, graceful, fern- 
like foliage and great sprays of feathery, silver white flowers in 
June and July. 35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen.

Stokesia Cyanea. 
(The Cornflower Aster or Stokes’ Aster.) 
The colored illustration on the front cover of our retail cata- 
logue for 1903 does not begin to do justice to the beauty of this 
charming hardy plant, which for the past two summers has been 
the most universally admired flower in our grounds. 
The plant grows from 18 to 24 inches high and produces its 
Centaurea-like 4 to 5inch in diameter lavender blue flowers 
from early in July until late in October, even after frost has 
destroyed nearly all other out-door flowers. It is of easiest cul- 
ture, succeeding in any open, sunny position ; not only is it 
desirable as a single plant in the mixed border, but it can also 
be used with good effect in large, solid masses, and at the same 
time is invaluable as one of the finest cut flowers. We have no 
hesitancy in saying that the Stokesia is the one most desirable 
hardy plant offered in our list. Strong plants, $1.25 per dozen ; 
$10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1000.
