 in height, and bear elegant cup-shaped flowers. The profusion of blooms which 

 . they produce is really astonishing, often a hundred flower stems on a single plant, 

 and they are produced in never-ceasing succession from the beginning of June to 

 October. Mixed colors, 15 cts. each, $150 per doz.

 Pyrethrum Hybridum Fl. PI. Too much cannot be said in favor of this 

 grand hardy perennial. No class of plants gives a wider range of colors, while 

 the form and substance of the flowers is all that could be wished ; their main sea- 

 son of blooming is in June, but if the old flower stems are removed they will give 

 a fair sprinkling of flowers in the autumn. The bloom is similar to that of an 

 Aster and ranges in color from pure white and yellow and the various shades of 

 pink and red to deep purple ; the plants we offer are mixed seedlings grown from 

 an extra select strain. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 

 Pyrethrum Uliginosum {Giant Daisy). A grand fall blooming plant, 

 growing 5 feet high, and covered with large white flowers with yellow centres;
