TIGRIDIAS have a flower-spike 10 inches to a foot in height, and open cup- 
shaped flowers of good size and of wonderful coloring. A flower appears every morning 
and fades by noon. The colors are very vivid and the marking intense. Well worth

Colors, scarlet, white and yellow, variously marked. The finest species are Pavonia, 
scarlet; Pavonia alba, white; Pavonia immaculata, pure white; Canariensis, pure 
yellow; Pavonia speciosa, brilliant scarlet; large. All come at 40 cents a dozen. 
Hardy Garden Flowers 
ACHILLEA, "The Pearl," is an excellent flower for cutting. The stems are 2 to 
3 feet high, and are thickly set with double white flowers. They cost only 15 cents each, 
or $1.25 a dozen. The plants thrive best in any good garden loam situated in a sunny 
place. Will do well in wet ground. Divide to a few strong shoots every winter. 
Achillea, Yellow. This is a good carpeting or edging plant with grayish woolly 
loliage and yellow flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7 per 100. 
ACONITUM autumnale is a noble plant, resembling the perennial larkspurs, dark 
purplish blue flowers coming in September. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
A. Napellus grows aljout 3 feet high, with a dense spike of deep blue-purple flowers 
in midsummer. 20 c(s. each. 
AGATHEA ccelestis is a good blue, daisy-like flower, excellent for cutting and for 
the front of a border. There are few better blue hardy flowers. 15 cts. each. 
ALYSSUM saxatile is one of the very best plants that I know for open rockwork, 
dry, exposed s|)(its, and for edging hardy beds. The foliage is grayish, and the large 
masses of light yellow flowers most charming in early spring, while some blooms come on 
at intervals all of the year. 
A strong plant will meas- 
ure 20 inches across in a 
big cushion, therefore, if 
planted a foot apart in 
edging or massing, a solid 
mass is soon had. It is 
drought-resisting and 
stands heat. Sun or light 
shade suits it, and any soil 
not wet. Plant from fall 
till spring. They cannot 
be divided. Nice jalants at 
8 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz. 
$4 per 100. 
ANCHUSA Italica, 
Dropmore variety, makes 
plant 3 to 4 feet high, 
well branched and bearing 
a great number of deep 
blue, forget -me -not -like 
flowers. It is most hardy, 
prefers sun and grows well 
in any good garden soil. 
A mass of a dozen or less 
at ihe rear of a hardy 
boi'der is most attractive, 
and if the stems are cut 
before quite flowered out, 
the plants will throw up 
new flowering spikes. 25c. 
Achillea, "The Pearl" each, $2 per doz.
