Lady Ardilaun is tall, pure white and has white flowers. Jt is one of the finest. 
Lord Ardilaun is like it, with scjiii-double, pure white llowers. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Queen Charlotte has single rosy flowers, Whirlwind is white and semi-double. 
20 cts. each, $1.75 per doz. 
Anemone Pulsatilla. Pasquc Flower. This is a most charming, early-flowered 
species, entirely unlike the other common sorts. From a broad bunch of silvery green 
leaves appear large blue flowers, borne on short stems in early spring. It likes light 
shade and a loose, well-worked soil. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Anemone, St. Brigid. Grows like the fall bulbous sorts, but can be handled in 
plants at any time, and has a very long flowering season. 75 cts. per doz. 
ANTHEMIS tinctoria is the Golden JMarguerite, and a sturdy, easily grown plant, 
most excellent for hot, dry places. The plant is about a foot high, and bears a great 
number of daisy-like, j-cllow flowers in midsimimer and until fall. Almost any soil 
suits it, but it needs sun. It stands much drought. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
AQUILEGIAS, or Columbines, combine as many good points as any group of 
garden flowers. With hardiness and ease of culture, they have handsome foliage at all 
seasons and beautiful llowers borne gracefully on long stems. Their culture is easy. 
While a light shade and 
loose, loamy soil are best, 
they do well in shades of 
varying degrees and in the 
full sun, and in any soil 
from light loam to adobe. 
Fall or winter planting is 
preferable. They are ad- 
mirable for a fern-bed. 
The varieties are many 
and all are charming. Of 
t he Long-spurred sorts 
we have Cserulea, the 
Rocky Mountain Colum- 
bine, a lovely blue flower 
with a white center. Un- 
fortunately it is not a 
strong grower, but is well 
worth growing. Just as 
pretty, but white or 
flushed pink, is Casrulea 
alba. It is a good, sturdy 
plant. The third of this 
group is Chrysantha, 
!ight yellow, most admi- 
rable, hardy and easily 
grown. I have seen it 4 
feet high, and a mass in 
flower is most attractive. 
M y b r i d i z c r s have 
crossed these three forms 
with some others, and have 
produced a long-spurred 
race with many handsome 
forms, in shades of blue, 
white, light yellow and 
pink. These are delightful 
[ilants for the hardy garden, 
and grow with the least 
allention. I have most ex- 
(■(■lle)U mixtures of these in 
liiu' plants at 15 cts. each, 
or ."^1.25 ]3cr doz., but my 
bcsi are the Wolley Dod 
Ih hrids, a selected English 
strain, at 20 cts. each, $2 
per doz. Hoth are vcvy 
Handsome, showy, dainty, graceful Columbine beaut iflfl.
