 perennial plants. It is of strong, robust, erect habit, growing from 3 lo 4 feet high, 

 with flowers about li inches in diameter, in large, branching heads, ot a deep orange

NEW VARIEGATED HARDY PHEOX. 



C03ITESSE L>E JAllNAC. 



We do not know the origin of this beautiful variegated variety, but were 



at once struck with its remarkable beauty when we saw it growing at the 



establishment of an eminent horticulturist near Paris, who, we were informed, 



) found it growing in the gardens of the Chateau de Conde-sur-Iton, belonging 



to the Comie de Jarnac. 



It is a most distinct variegated form of the perennial or hardy Phlox, with 

 bright green foliage, which is irregularly bordered with creamy white, and 

 makes a grand plant either as an isolated specimen in the garden or when 

 planted in masses, being so entirely dift'erent from all other variegated garden 

 plants that it at once attracts by its singular beauty ; late in the summer it 

 produces rosy white flowers. Good young plants ready April 1st. 35 cts. 

 each. 



PHLOX DIVARICATA 

 CANADENSIS. 



One of our native varieties 

 that is but rarely met with, 

 and which has been introduced in 

 Euiope the past few years as a 

 novelty, where it has met with 

 justly deserved favor, and a plant 

 that deserves a place in every 

 American garden as well, being one 

 of the earliest spring flowers ; fre- 

 quently beginning to bloom early 

 in April, it continues until about 

 the middle of June, with large 

 bright lilac-colored flowers, which 

 are produced on stems about 10 

 inches high, in large showy heads, 

 and are very fragrant. .A. plant 

 that is certain to meet with much 

 favor when better known, as noth- 

 ing can produce such a cheerful 

 corner in the garden in the very 

 early spring. 



15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts., 10 

 for $1.00. 



Platvcodcin Japonicus Fl Pl. 



PEATYCODOX 



JAPOXICXJS Fl. PI. 



(Double Japanese Bellflower. i 



A pretty double flowered form of Plalycodon Gran- 

 diflorum, with large, glossy, deep blue flowers, which 

 average 2J 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. 35 cts. each. 



SCABIOSA CAUCASICA. 



This is one of the handsomest hardy perennials we 

 possess, 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. 25 

 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
