Some Hardy Plants will Thrive in Shade, Others Will Not i*s 



Hardy Perennial Plants 



For Permanent Planting in Open Borders. Cemetery Plots, Etc. 

 Hardy Aster Barr's Pink 



Coming into flower about the middle of September this is one of the showiest 

 late flowering plants and adds a mass of color to the fall garden. The flowers are 

 bright pink with a golden center. Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Hardy Pompone Chrysanthemums 



These are the only sorts which are reliably hardy in the Northern states. They 

 are sometimes called "Button" Chrysanthemums. The proper way to grow this 

 type is to allow the plant to make as many shoots as possible. By disbudding, 

 nice flowers two inches and more in diameter can be had. They do wonderfully 

 well in most parts of the country. We offer six of the leading varieties. Prices, 

 35c. each. Set of six for $2.00. 



Dielytra or "Bleeding Heart" 



One of the most ornamental of hardy spring-flowering plants, with elegant green 

 foliage and long drooping racemes of heart-shaped pink and white flowers. If potted 

 in November and left outside till it has formed new roots and then brought into a 

 gentle heat, it may be had in flower in the greenhouse, in February and March. 

 (See illustration.) Large roots 75c. ; each; $7.50 per doz. 



New Early Flowering Gypsophila Ehrlei 



Gypsophila Ehrlei surpasses any that has ever been introduced. It is a dis- 

 tinct new form, early, pure white, double flowering and not a variety of the 

 plentiful Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi.' An additional feature of this 

 novelty is that its largest crop of flowers is produced before paniculata 

 begins to bloom. After the main crop has been cut. flower spikes still 

 make their appearance until frost. It is far superior to Gypsophila 

 pan. fl. PI. because of the enormous size of its pure white flowers. 

 Flowers were cut as late as November 15th. Strong field-grown, 

 grafted plants 60c. each; $6.00 per doz.
