/. r, LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER AND RED BA^K, N. J. 

 ST. BRIGID OR POPPY ANEMONES. 



For gorgeous display of color these showy plants are unsurpassed. They present such a varied appearance, 

 not only in color and markings but in shaoe and form, that it is almost Impossible to convey a correct idea of 

 their great attractiveness. The flowers of this new species are all large, sometimes as much as five or six inches 

 across, some single but mostly double, with some few semi-double ; in form and make-up they differ in having 

 plain, fringed or scalloped edges. And as to color, who shall describe them properly? The hues of the cham- 

 aeleon are not more numerous or more vivid than are these, among which are shades of white, pink, scarlet, crim- 

 son, maroon, and even black, tinted and shaded by lilac, ultramarine, indigo and purple. Some are of clear 

 color, but the majority are curiously splashed, mottled, striped, edged or ringed in the most bewildering manner. 

 They bloom profusely and continuously until cut down by frost, and being perfectly hardy, the plants increase 

 in vigor with age, and bloom again the following seasons. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c Seed, pkt., 10c. 



ACHILLEA "CERISE QUEEN." 



Too much can 

 scarcely be said of 

 the value or beauty 

 of this grand hardy 

 herbaceous plant. It 

 is as free-flowering 

 as the popular Pearl 

 Achillea, and is in 

 bloom without inter- 

 mission from June 

 until November, 

 throwing up its nu- 

 merous flower heads 

 in broad corymbs on 

 long, slendei*, grace- 

 ful stems. The flow- 

 ers are round, of the 

 brightest and most 

 cheerful and pleasing 

 cerise imaginable, 

 and are very last- 

 ing, either cut or 

 when permitted to 

 remain upon the 

 plant. The foliage 

 forms a tuft of dark 

 green lace-iike fol- 

 iage, more airy and 

 attractive than a 

 Maiden Hair Fern. 

 It is of American 

 origin, and is as 

 hardy as an oak, suc- 

 ceeding perfectly 

 ^ upon all soils and in 



^-QoSt^*^ all situations. Ea.,

 cover for description 

 of five new varieties, 

 now offered for the 

 first time. 



NEW ALTHAEAS, 



JOAN OF ARC or Camelia Bush. Seldom indeed has 

 a new plant given so much delightful and such gen- 

 eral satisfaction as this New Althaea or double-flower- 

 ing Rose of Sharon. It begins to bloom almost as soon 

 as planted, and produces in the greatest abundance 

 beautiful pure white double-flowers, fi-equently 9 

 inches round, which decidedly resemble double Camel- 

 lias. These chaste flowers are borne during the greater 

 part of summer and autumn, and even during winter, 

 if the plant is taken up or potted — thereby ornament- 

 ing both the garden and the house. As a shrub it is, 

 of course, perfectly hardy; as a pot plant it is also 

 most attractive and desirable. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. 



SlNOWDRIf T. A variety produced in my nurseries, 

 and so remarkable for the profusion and beauty of its 

 bloom as to rank it as the finest of its color for orna- 

 mental display. It produces a veritable drift of large, 

 single bell-shaped flowers, of the purest snowy-white 

 throughout, for two months (August and September). 

 Plant of vigorous habit; not so dwarf anl slow grow- 

 ing as the" popular little Totus Albus, being equally 

 profuse in bloom, and the flowers are more than 

 double the size and of greater purity. It is extremely 

 hardly. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c.
