Racemosa. Strong roots 1 25 8 00 



Simplex. Erroneously sold under the name of Actaea Japonica the 

 past few years ; valuable on account of its extreme late flowering ; 

 beginning in September, it is not in full perfection until near the 

 middle of October. Its flowering stems are from 2^ to 3 feet high, 

 and are terminated with a dense cylindrical spike of white flowers, 

 which when cut last in perfection a long time. Strong roots, 35 cts. 

 each ; $3.50 per dozen.

Two New Coreopsis. 



The golden C. lanceolata grandiflora is one of the most popular 

 hardy plants, and any decided variations are certain to find a welcome 

 by all lovers of hardy plants. 



Golden Fleece. Differs from the type in the soft, fluffy appearance 

 of the flowers, which has suggested its name. They are about 3 inches 

 in diameter, with from 14 to 16 deeply laciniated golden yellow petals 

 and a row of narrow petals around the disc, forming an almost double 

 flower ; in habit and noriferousness it is identical to the type. 



Lanceolata grandiflora oculata. Another pretty yariety with 

 large golden yellow flowers, but having a reddish-brown spot at the 

 base of each petal which seems to intensify the golden coloring ; these 

 spots frequently become faint during hot weather, but quickly reap- 

 pear under normal weather conditions.

Two New Delphiniums. 



Chinese Cineraria. (Spur/ess Hardy Larkspur.) A new variety 

 of French origin which was awarded a first-class certificate by the 

 National Horticultural Society of France in 1903. The flowers are of 

 large size, of richest sky blue, but its chief distinction is in the fact that, 

 unlike other varieties, it has no spurs, individual flowers resembling 

 a Cineraria ; hence its name. A very interesting novelty. 



King of Delphiniums. {Giant Hardy Larkspur.) A decided 

 acquisition, it being one of the finest Larkspurs yet introduced; the 

 plant is of remarkably strong, vigorous growth, with flowers of gigan- 

 tic size, semi-double and of a deep blue color, with white eye. 

 35 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. 



Delphinium Belladonna. 



(The Everblooming Hardy Larkspur) 



In this variety we have a perfect gem, not only on account of its re- 

 markable free-flowering qualities, which really are phenomenal, the 

 plant never being out of bloom from the latter part of June until cut 

 down by hard freezing weather, but also on account of its beautiful 

 color, a pure turquoise blue with lighter centre, which for delicacy 

 and beauty is not equalled by any other flower. 



This has been one of the most admired hardy plants in our grounds 

 during the past two seasons. $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. 



Gold Medal Hybrid Delphiniums. 



Unquestionably, the finest strain of mixed hybrid Delphiniums ever 

 offered. The original stock from which it was grown came from Eng- 

 land, and consisted of the best named varieties, many of them being 

 worth from $5.00 to $10.00 each. The plants are of strong, vigorous 

 habit with spikes two feet or more long, of large flowers the majority 

 running in the lighter shades of blue. $1.25 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



Select Standard Varieties of Delphiniums. 



Chinense. A very pretty variety, growing about 18 inches high, and 



producing its pretty, gentian-blue flowers in large open panicles, 



strong plants. 75 cents per dozen; $5.00 per 100. 

 Chinense Alba. A pure white form. 75 cents per dozen; $5.00 



per 100. 

 Elatum. (Bee Larkspur.) Blue with dark centre. $1.50 per dozen ; 



$10. co per 100. 

 Formosum. The old favorite dark-blue variety, grows from three 



to four feet high, very vigorous and free flowering ; still one of the 



best. 85 cents per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 

 Hybridum E mile Bayard. Sky blue with white centre. $2.00 per doz. 

 Sulphureum. (Zalil.) An attractive species and entirely distinct. 



Forms a pyramidal bush about four feet high, composed of stiff, 



wiry stems, which is covered during June and July with pure sulphur 



yellow flowers. $1.50 per dozen ; $12.00 pel 100. 

 Mixed Hybrids. A fine lot of seedlings grown from a very select 



strain, sure to produce a fine range of colors from the palest to the 



deepest blue with centres from pure white to brown. 85 cents per 



dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



Dianthus Hybridus Fettes Mount. 



Another charming variety of the Hardy Mule Pink, which during 

 the month of June is completely covered with very attractive soft rosy- 

 pink flowers, borne on stems a foot high. The plant is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and perfectly hardy. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz.
