13 
Singles, Mixed, and Doubles, in separate colors, at following prices in the finest of 
stocks: Very strong, field-grown plants at 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; fine, field-grown

and will beat ordinary plants by a year. 
HEMEROCALLIS are lily-like plants of great garden value, otherwise known as 
Yellow Day Lilies. The leaves are strong and like broad grasses. The strong stems branch 
and bear many flowers much like semi-erect lilies. Their culture is easy, as they only 
ask a sunny position and fair garden soils. Still, better culture pays. Let the clumps 
alone for three years before dividing. Plant in fall or winter. All Day Lilies are sweet 
scented. 
Baronii. Long lanceolate petals of soft chrome-yellow. Flowers in late September. 
Rare. 35 cts. each. 
Aurantiaca major is a large form of the old Day Lily, with large, trumpet-shaped 
flowers of a deep orange-color. 25 cts. each. 
Minor has grass-like leaves and is about 2 feet high. The pure yellow flowers are 
borne on wiry stems. 25 cts. each. 
Flava, the Lemon Lily, is a clear yellow and very fragrant. One of the best yellow 
flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
Fulva grows 2 feet high, and has large tawny yellow flowers. 15c. each, $1.25 per doz. 
Gold Dust is taller and may go 3 feet, with large, golden yellow flowers in mid- 
summer. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Kwanso, Double, has double flowers of a rich orange-copper color. 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz. 
Kwanso has a variegated form, with white-margined leaves. 25 cts. each. 
Ochroleuca grows to 2 or 2}^ feet, with pale primrose-yellow flowers. Very like 
Lilium Parry i. 25 cts. each. 
Rutlands, syn., Dumortieri. Flowers rich orange inside, bronze-brown on out- 
side; very free flowering. 30 cts. each. 
HEUCHERAS, or Alum Roots, are most valuable plants for shady places, either near 
buildings or on rockwork. The beautiful leaves form clumps 6 to 8 inches high and are 
evergreen. In some the spring foliage is beautifully colored, while others take on autumn 
or winter tints of mUdi beauty. The small flowers are borne on slender, much-branched 
stems in large numbers, so that in flower we have a filmy mass of delicate colorings above 
handsome leaves. Very hardy and drought-resisting, they make the best of plants for 
shady rockeries. Sit., shade or light sun. Soil, any not wet. Prop., divisions in winter. 
PL, October to March. 
All are garden hybrids of two or three western American species of Alum Root. 
There are no more fitting companions for the hardy ferns. I carry the following sorts: 
H. brizoides virginale, tall, with creamy flowers. H. ericoides, soft pink. H.,Rosa- 
monde, a 77. micranlha hybrid with most graceful habit and coral-pink flowers. H., 
Pluie de Feu, fiery red flowers in rather compact panicles. H. brizoides, with richly 
colored foliage and deep rose flowers. 
H. rubescens sends out lateral branches which root so that it forms broad masses of 
dense foliage and in season has many sprays of pinkish white flowers which last a very 
long time. 
H. micrantha has richly colored foliage in fall and winter and tall panicles of white 
flowers. H. sanguinea is low growing with brilliant coral-red flowers. 
The set of 8 sorts for $1.50. Either sort at 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
IBERIS gibraltarica is a perennial Candytuft of great value for Californian use. It 
makes low mats which are smothered .in spring with white flowers, richly tinted laven- 
der and it flowers long. After flowering it can be dried off and will survive our hot, dry 
summers without water. It is a most excellent garden and rock-plant as well. I would 
suggest its use where dry places are to be beautified, as it can be planted in the fall and 
needs no water. Strong plants, 8 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz.; line seedlings for larger 
plantings at $3 per 100. 
In INCARVILLEA Delavayi we have a very large-flowered, striking plant somewhat 
like a large, bright rose. It grows a foot or two high. Very strong plants, 25 cts. each. 
Incarvillea grandiflora is a strikingly beautiful plant. The leaves are at the ground, 
and the very large flowers, of a deep carmine, are borne on stems a little less than a foot 
high, and as fine as large gloxinias. Sit., sun. Soil, deep loam. PL, October to March. 
Prop., seeds which flower the second year. 25 cts. each.
