Plumbago Lady Larpent. 



This beautiful variety of Plumbago (P. Lar- 

 penlce) was first popularly introduced by us in 

 1890. Since that time it has so thoroughly 

 pleased all who have planted it, and achieved 

 such great popularity, which, coupled with our 

 own thorough testsand observations, demonstrate 

 that it is unquestionably the most distinct and 

 valuable hardy herbaceous plant now in culti- 

 vation. The plants are strong, upright in habit, 

 growing to a height of 12 to 15 inches in com- 

 pact clumps, and from the middle of July until 

 severe frost are covered with lovely rich violef- 

 blue colored flowers borne in close terminal 

 heads. (We had thousands in bloom on our 

 grounds the past season as late as October 25. _> 

 The foliage is unique, finely serrated and fring- 

 ing the stems. We heartily recommend this 

 fine variety for edging walks, beds or borders, 

 or single specimens set in mixed flower vases or 

 beds, where they appear in lovely contrast with 

 other flowers. 



Price, 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.; 6 for 50 cts.; 

 J 2 for $1.

Mixed Colors. — We have a 

 large stock of Phlox consisting 

 of an intermixture of several 

 varieties, resulting in a wide 

 range of unique colors — pink, 

 red and variegated. The effect 

 is exceedingly attractive and 

 novel. For planting in clumps 

 and borders these mixtures are 

 very desirable and form a par- 

 ticularly pleasing combination of 

 colors. We make the price of 

 these plants extremely low and 

 feel that they will prove very 

 satisfactory. 12 cts. each.
