ACONITUM, Spark's Variety. Splendid deep blue (lowers on stems 3 feet high. 
^THIONEMA grandiflora. A hardy perennial bearing many small delicate pink 
llovvers. 
ANCHUSA italica. One of the best hardy plants; flowers deep blue. One of the 
most effective plants of this color when used in masses. 
FALL ANEMONES. In full bloom when flowers are needed, and are among the 
most lasting late bloomers for cutting. 
AQUILEGIA chrysantha alba (Long-spurred Columbines). Perfectly hardy and 
free flowering. 
BELLIUM minutum. A comparatively new plant and one of the most dainty 
perennials. 
BOCCONIA cordata, or Plume Poppy. Tall and stately plants; very d< ■sirable for 
massing. 
CAMPANULA Grossekii. Purplish lavender; retains the bloom for an exceptionally 
long season. 
CANTERBURY BELLS are quite common, but the plants I sell at 75 cents per 
dozen are not. 
DELPHINIUMS, Perennial Larkspurs. My plants are splendid; each year I get 
seed from one of the world's two great specialists, thus keeping my collection strictly 
up to the minute. 
ERYSIMUM Allionii. A really fine winter-blooming perennial for California. 
Desirable in any garden. 
FOXGLOVES. Every florist has plants of Foxgloves, but not big strong ones like 
mine. Use them freely in the border. 
GYPSOPHILA paniculata, Double. Big strong-growing plants, but the daintiest 
greens yet to be found for bouquet-making. 
HELIANTHEMUMS, or Rock Roses. Comparatively new, but extremely desirable. 
HOLLYHOCKS. Both for splendid color and for plants that give quick results my 
collection is superior. 
HEUCHERA, or Alum Root, is extremely desirable for shady corners in the garden. 
The flowers give a delicate touch of color to somber spots. 
GERMAN IRIS. Of course every grower has them, yet few have such plants as 
I offer. Winter-flowering Irises are unusual novelties and should not be omitted from 
modern gardens. 
ORIGANUM hybridum. A new and attractive bedding plant; flowers lavender. 
PEONIES. The plants and varieties grown in my garden ought to be included in 
every order; they can be grown easily in northwestern California, Oregon, and Wash- 
ington and will prove to be among the best perennials. 
PHLOX, as they are now developed, are wonderful plants; I have the latest and 
best varieties. 
HORNED POPPY, or Glaucium, is a most showy plant and can be grown without 
difficulty. 
PYRETHRUMS in variety are seen in every planting. IVIy collection includes the 
most desirable sorts. 
SALVIA Pitched and S. azurea are two remarkably line and rather rare plants. 
SCABIOSA caucasica is loved by all. The color is a delicate light pink. My plants 
arc superfine. 
THALICTRUM dipterocarpum grows to 5 feet high; attractive mauve flowers. 
A plant worth while. 
VINCA minor is a fine ground-cover; the flowers are clear white. 
DAFFODILS purchased from the Terrace Gardens are sure to be ready in time, 
for the bulbs are grown here.
