ACHILLEA, THE PEARL 



1012 A greatly improved variety of the old hardy garden favorite A. Ptarmica fl. pi. 

 The Pearl produces much larger and more fully double pure white flowers which 

 are borne in large clusters on long stems. It grows about 2 feet high and is 

 literally covered with these snowy blossoms from spring until frost. Splendid 

 cut flower for vases. Although a perennial it will flower freely the first season 

 if the seed is sown early Pkt. .10c 



ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Monkshood) 



1016 Handsome, hardy herbaceous plant, throwing bold spikes of dark blue flowers 

 in summer. Effective in hardy flower borders, shrubberies, etc.; height, 3 to 

 4 feet Pkt. 10c. 



ACROCLINIUM, Double Mixed 



1020 Free summer-flowering annual plants for garden decoration; the flowers dry as 

 "Everlastings" for winter bouquets. Acrocliniums are also grown as pot plants 

 for market in European cities — in full bloom the plants are showy and effective 

 — and will stand a lot of abuse on account of the lasting quality of the flowers. 

 On page 121 will be found illustrations in color of various other types of 

 "Everlastings." These are described on page 120, and are equally as de- 

 sirable as Acroclinium. 1 foot Pkt. 10c.
