ACHILLEA filipendulina has quite decorative fern-like foliage and grows to 2 to 
3 feet. Flowers yellow. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
A. Pearl. Slender stems 2 to 3 feet high, covered with small white flowers, double 
as little roses. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
A. Ptarmica, Perry's "White, is an improvement on the Pearl, and with larger 
flowers. Fine for cutting. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
A. Millefolium roseum forms low, dense masses of feathery foliage, from which flower- 
stems arise to the height of 2 feet, with many pretty soft rose-colored flowers. A hardy 
plant which will survive drought and hard conditions. Any garden soil will do; plants a 
foot apart each way will soon meet to make a mass. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
In A. tomentosum we have a very dwarfed species with finely cut leaves, light green 
and woolly, making a carpet an inch or two in height, while the flower-stems in early 
summer bear many-flowered flat corymbs of bright yellow. It is a pretty thing, very 
drought-resistant, and well fitted for margins of borders or dry rockwork. Soil, any 
garden soil to very dry. Prop., divisions. PL, October to April. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
ACT.1EA spicata rubra has finely cut foliage and makes a handsome plant for shaded

ADENOPHORAS are related to campanulas and rather resemble C. Trachelium. 
Erect, 2 to 3 feet or so high, with blue bells. 25 cts. each. 
iETHIONEMA grandiflorum is a dwarf, shrubby herb of real merit. It belongs to 
the same group as arabis, stocks, and wallflowers, and has pretty foliage about the base 
and many slender, leafy stems, bearing long racemes of bright rose-pink flowers. Makes 
a most attractive clump a foot or so wide and high, and is most excellent for a dry rockery 
in sun or the border. Sit., sun and well-drained soils, sandy or gravelly. Prop., seeds. 
PL, October to March. Strong plants, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
AGAPANTHUS umbellatus. While a greenhouse plant in the cool East, in California 
it is a strong-growing and very hardy garden flower — doubtless hardy as far as British 
Columbia, as it easily withstands 16 degrees above. The numerous grassy leaves, 2 feet 
long, form a dense mass, above which are borne great umbels, 2 to 3 feet high, with 
10 to 30 very handsome blue, lily-like flowers. Sit., sun or light shade. Soil, any not 
wet. Prop., divisions. PL, October to March. A good loam and light shade will give 
very fine results. Clumps, 50 cts. each, smaller divisions, 30 cts. each.
