Coreopsis lianceolata. This handsome perennial is now probal)Iy 

 the most popular perennial plant in cultivation. Our own estimation of 

 the plant is such that if we had room for but one plant of this class, it 

 would surely be this golden Coreopsis, which begins to flower early 

 in June and continues in flower until cut down by severe freezing 

 weather; it is continually one mass of golden-yellow. The flowers, 

 which are of graceful form, are invaluable for cutting for decorative pur- 

 poses ; it is easily grown, is perfectly hardy and succeeds in almost any 

 position, and after once planted takes care of itself. 

 We offer large, strong clumps, which will produce an immediate effect, at 



15 cts. each, $1 50 per doz., ^10.00 per 100. Good, strong young plants.
