Paeonia officinalis 



This old-fashioned type is desirable on account of its 

 early flowering, coming into bloom some two weeks 

 before the other varieties. The flowers are large, full, 

 very fragrant, and decidedly attractive in the garden 

 or old-fashioned border.

 Alba. Blush-white. 

 Rosea. Soft bright rose. 

 Rubra. Deep, dark crimson. 



Papaver orientale 



Oriental Poppy 



The most gorgeous and dazzling of all our perennial 

 plants. The enormous flowers, so rich and brilliant in 

 coloring, are unequaled for either garden or interior 

 decorating. They are of the easiest possible culture and 

 do well under the most adverse conditions, but are at 

 their best in a deep, rich soil. The plants die back after 

 flowering and reappear in late September, during which 

 period they should remain undisturbed. 



25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., except where noted 

 Goliath. The largest and most showy Poppy grown. 



Brilliant, fiery scarlet. 

 Mahonoy. Dark crimson-maroon, shaded mahogany. 

 Mrs. Perry. A delightful shade of salmon-rose; the 



best in this color. 

 Choice Mixed Varieties. 15 cts. each, Si. 50 per doz..

 foliage and bearing flowers of many hues throughout

Alpinum laciniatum. New. A pretty form of the 

 above with daintily fringed flowers. 



Filosum. A pretty variety with apricot-colored flow- 

 ers growing to a height of 18 inches. After flowering, 

 the foliage should be cut down, when new leaves and 

 flowers will appear. 



Nudicaule. A neat, compact, Arctic plant: delicate 

 fern-like foliage; cup-shaped flowers throughout the 

 season in a charming and delicate range of colors. 

 Excellent for the border or rockery. White, yellow, 

 orange, or mixed colors. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., 

 f 10 per 100.

Hardy Phloxes 



The Phlox is undoubtedly one of the most popular 

 and satisfactory of our present-day garden or border 

 plants. Not many years back there were few varieties 

 worth considering and these were grown in a limited 

 way. Decided improvement in the size of flower, habit 

 of growth, and the addition of practically every desir- 

 able color has placed the Phlox in a prominent position 

 among perennials, and today they are commercially 

 grown by the acre. While there are hundreds of varie- 

 ties in commerce, we have, by a most rigid selection, 

 eliminated every kind that is not entirely distinct and 

 desirable, keeping only the best in their respective 

 colors. We offer a select assortment that includes the 

 very cream of the Phlox family.
