ASPARAGUS VERTIC1LLATUS. 



Indies who arrange cut flowers or do much dec®rating 

 often lack plenty of green. With its fine feathery foliage, 

 this is invaluable for these purposes, and with its bright 

 scarlet berries it also makes a fine show anywhere. Ten 

 feet Perennial. Pkt., 6 cts. 



MISS EMMA V. WHITE, 



ANCHUSA CAPENSIS. 



A rare plant of great beauty, much prized by those 

 who know it, thriving in shady, out-of-the-way 

 places where nothing else will grow. The flowers 

 are borne in great abundance and somewhat resem- 

 ble the Forget-me-not, though they are much more 

 showy and desirable for cutting, and are of a lovely, 

 clear, deep blue, with white center. It commences 

 to bloom early and continues late. Half hardy bi- 

 ennial, but it generally blooms the first year. 20 

 inches. Pkt., 3 cts. 



SWEET ALYSSUM (Benthaxnl). 



This, the common Alyssum, can never be displac- 

 ed from favor, even by the very desirable "lit- 

 tle Gem." While the latter is perhaps better for 

 edgings, this is unsurpassed for cutting. The long 

 spikes of delicate white touch off a bouquet of Nas- 

 turtiums, Pansies or other coarser flowers, giving 

 them a finish and delicateness they do not have 

 when massed alone. Pkt., 3 Cts. 



LITTLE GEM ALYSSUM. 



Splendid for cemetery planting or for edgings. The 

 plants are dwarf and compact, a single plant covering a 

 space from 15 to 20 inches in diameter. The single flor- 

 ets are larger and more closely crowded on the flower 

 spike than in the common Alyssum, making a showier 

 blossom and converting the plant into a mass of white, 

 which remains in full bloom throughout the season. 

 More than 400 clusters of flowers have been counted on 

 a single plant. Pkt., 4 cts. 



AMARANTHUS. 



There are many varie- 

 ties of Amaranthus, all 

 showy because of their 

 highly colored foliage or 

 peculiar blossoms. If you 

 want something striking 

 along a fence or at the 

 side of a house, plant a 

 row of Amaranthus, alter- 

 nating with Stella Sun- 

 flowers or Eldorado Mari- 

 golds, (or plant singly in a 

 double row) and you will 

 have a gorgeous coloring 

 of yellow and dark ma- 

 roon red for two or three 

 months that will brighten 

 the whole garden. I offer 

 a mixture of the most de- 

 sirable varieties, viz., Tri- 

 color (Joseph's Coat), 

 Monstrosus(Giant Prince's 

 Feather), Melancholicus 

 Ruber, etc. Annual. Pkt., 

 3 cts.
