LuPINUS POLYPHYLLllS ROSEUS. 



PHLOX DIVARICATA 



LAPHAMI (Perry's Variety). 



Phlox devaricata canadensis offered and 

 illustrated on page 207 has long been a 

 favorite plant for the border and rockery, 

 and deservedly so, it being a free -flow- 

 ering, showy plant, adapting itself to 

 almost any soil and position. In this new 

 variety we have a great improvement, the 

 plant being more robust, the flowers consid 

 erably larger and of a more intense shade of 

 blue, being very similar in color to the beautiful 

 Plumbago capensis. 25 cts. each; §2.50 per doz. 



EUPINUS POLYPHYLLUS ROSEUS. 



The old-fashioned perennial Lupine is one of the important hardy border 

 plants, succeeding in any soil, either in a sunny or semi-shady location. 

 Its long spikes of pea-shaped purplish-blue flowers, raised well above the hand- 

 some clump of satiny palmate leaves, makes an attractive display from June to- 

 September. The variety here offered has beautiful and showy rosy-pink flowers, 

 and is a decidedly desirable addition. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



NEW MONTBRETIAS. 



The three varieties offered below are grand additions to our list of summer- 

 flowering bulbs; quite hardy with protection. 



America. Not a large flower, but opening many of its blossoms at the same 

 time, which makes it very attractive; color deep orange-yellow with dark red 

 centre. 



Geo. Davison. Flower stems 3 feet high; the flowers, which are very large 

 and open out flat, are neatly disposed on the spike, so that each flower is seen 

 at once; in color they are of a glistening- orange-yellow. 



Martagon. The flowers of this charming variety are also very large and of an. 

 effective dark orange with dark red centre; the petals are gracefully recurved, 

 .resembling in miniature the Turk's Cap Lily. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



OROBUS ALBUS ROSEUS. 



A comparatively little-known spring-flower- 

 ing plant, closely allied to the Vetches, 

 and which is worthy of extended cul- 

 tivation. It makes an excellent 

 subject either for the rockery or 

 for the mixed border, forming 

 erect, shapely plants about 12 

 inches high, which, during 

 May and June, are covered 

 with pure white, delicately 

 mottled with rose pea-shaped 

 flowers. 50 cts. each. 



PHLOX AMCENA FOLIA VARIEGATA. 



The ordinary P. amcsna, with its green foliage and bright pink flowers, 

 is one of our best plants for carpeting the ground, the rockery or the border. 

 In this new variety we have the addition of prettily variegated green i nd 

 white leaves, which will add to its value for any purpose. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz. 



PYRETHRUM UEIGINOSUM 

 STELLATA, 



A new variety which originated in our Nursery some years ago, and 

 which is now offered for the first time. It is a greatly improved form of 

 the Giant Daisy, and, like its parent, has flowers of glistening white, but 

 fully one-half larger, with long, narrow petals, forming a much more grace- 

 ful and refined flower. The best and most useful Daisy for cutting during 

 August and September. (See cut.) 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Rudbeckia Rays of Gold (offered on page 178). 



NEW HARDY PHLOXES are offered with the General List. See pages 206 and 207.
