Delphiniums (Hardy Larkspur) 



These are deservedly among the most popular subjects in the 

 hardy border; of easiest culture; perfectly hardy. They will 

 establish themselves in almost any garden soil, but respond quickly 

 to liberal treatment. 



Belladonna Improved. The freest blooming of all, never 

 being out of flower from the end of June until cut down by hard 

 frost. The clear turquoise blue of its flowers is not equaled for 

 delicacy and beauty by any other flower. 



Bellamosum. This is a dark blue form of the popular light 

 blue Belladonna, with which it is identical in habit of growth, 

 freedom of bloom, but with intensely rich, deep blue flowers. 



Ghinense. A very pretty dwarf species, with fine feathery 

 foliage and intense gentian-blue flowers in open panicles. 



— Album. A pure white form of the above. 



Price. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



DictamnUS (Gas Plant) 

 Fraxinella Caucasicus. A very showy border perennial, 

 forming a bush about 2| feet in height, having fragrant foliage 

 and spikes of rosy-pink flowers with deeper veins during June 

 and July. Requires a heavy, strong soil, and an open, sunny 

 position. It is not advisable to transplant often, as it improves 

 with age, it being one of the most permanent features of the 

 hardy herbaceous border. 

 —Alba. The white flowered variety of above. 



50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



DraCOCephalum (Dragon's Head) 



Ruyschiana. A neat border as well as rock plant, bearing at- 

 tractive blue flowers during July, 2 feet. 30 cts. each; $3.00 

 per doz. 



Dreer's De Luxe Delphinium

 June is covered with flowers an inch across of a spotted crimson with darker 

 ring around the eye. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Arenarius (Sand Pink). A fine rock garden plant growing in a dense low 

 cushion with masses of fragrant white flowers in May.

 sweetly scented, rose-pink flowers in May and June; fine for the rock 

 garden.

 crimson double flowers throughout the entire season; 8 to 10 inches high. 



Neglectus (Glacier Pink). One of the prettiest of the Alpine Pinks, pro- 

 ducing deep rose colored flowers in June. 3 to 4 inches. 50 cts. each. 



Sweet Wivelsfleld. This new perpetual flowering Dianthus resembles a 

 large flowering single Sweet William, but is entirely distinct in habit and 

 free form of growth, its flowers are carried more gracefully in loose trusses 

 or heads well above the foliage, and in greater variety of coloring, the pre- 

 dominating colors being reds, pinks and crimsons; 12 inches high. 20 cts. 

 each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
