HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX

 servedly so. They are of the easiest culture, and during 

 the late summer and fall months make the garden bright 

 with their wealth of bloom. (See engraving.)

 Beacon. A lively shade of bright cherry-red. Medium 



height. 



Coquellcot. A fine pure scarlet with crimson-red eye. 

 Dwarf habit.

 large size. The color is intensified by a very decided 

 crimson eye. Medium height. 



F. G. Von Lassburtf. A free blooming pure white variety. 

 Medium height.

 Price. 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. Set of 9 for $2.75. 



TRITOMA PFITZERII 



or Torch Lily 



An improved variety of the " Red Hot Poker Plant" 

 or "Torch Lily." It flowers continuously throughout 

 the season. Large spikes of brilliant flame color, rich 

 yellow at base, with long stalks gracefully posed above 

 the rich green foliage. A bed of this in bloom is a grand 

 sight; a border of it around Cannas is admirable. Price, 

 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. 



VALERIANA OFFICINALIS 



or Hardy Garden Heliotrope 



This plant was greatly prized in old-fashioned hardy 

 gardens for its strong heliotrope fragrance. Produces 

 showy heads of rose-tinted white flowers during June 

 and July. Price, 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. 



YUCCA FILAMENTOSA 



or Adams Needle 



One of the hardiest and showiest plants we have. 

 The flower spikes are borne in huge panicles above the 

 sword-shaped foliage, which in itself has a sub-tropical 

 effect. The large, white, waxy blooms are drooping in 

 habit and the plant, whether in bloom or not, presents 

 a highly ornamental effect. It can be used to advantage 

 in any situation. Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per doz.
