HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS AND BULBS 
FOR PERMANENT PLANTING IN OPEN GROUND, IN BORDERS, GROUPS, ETC. 
HERBACEOUS PiEONIAS. 
It is surprising that these elegant plants are not now grown more gener- 
ally than they are, as there is no plant that produces the effect on a lawn 
that these do. They are absolutely hardy everywhere, have no insect 
enemies, and always live and grow in beauty from year to year. The finer 
and newer varieties of this old garden favorite will surprise and delight 
everyone, as the perfection of flower and variety of color have been car- 
ried to a very high degree. No plants grown will produce as fine a display 
for the money invested. They bloom in June and July. The flowers are 
well adapted for cutting for the ornamentation of the house, as they rival 
the Rose in perfection of flower and brilliancy of coloring, possessing a strik- 
ing individuality that is in accord with the present taste and style in floral 
decorations. Our collection embraces the choicest named sorts, running 
through the following colors, in various shades: White, pink, crimson, etc. 
Price, 30c. each; $3.00 perdoz.; $20.00 
per 100; extra sized, 50c. each; $5.00 per 
doz.; $35.00 per 100.

eter; brilliant carmine centre, shaded 
to a broad, pure white margin. A strong 
grower and free bloomer.

mer; a beautiful, showy plant. 10c. each; $1.00 per doz. 
JAPANESE ANEMONE, OR WIND FLOWER. 
Beautiful late autumn-blooming hardy plants, very showy, 
one of the best herbaceous plants, blooming in profusion 
from September to November, growing to the height of two 
feet — a finer bed of flowers can hardly be imagined. They

continuing to increase in beauty until the end of autumn.

tre and dark eye.

COREOPSIS 
LANCEOLATA. 
Tlie Perpetual Golden Coreopsis. 
This plant is of the highest possible value. Gives 
a constant succession of the most brilliant golden - 
yellow flowers as large as a silver dollar, growing on 
long, slender stems two feet high. The beauty of 
these flowers is unequaled by any yellow flower that 
we know of, and the long stems fit them for cutting 
for the house; there is, perhaps, no other perennial 
so valuable for summer cutting. Price, strong young 
plants, 10c. each; $1.00 per doz. 
FORGET-ME-NOT. 
Myosotes Palnstris Semperflorens. — This 
is the everblooming and true Forget-Me-Not, and 
the best of all. Perfectly hardy; a perennial last- 
ing from year to year aiid^blooming the whole sum- 
mer through, from early spring till fall. Price, 15c. 
each; $1.50 per doz. 
THE GIANT WHITE DAISY. 
Chrysanthemum Uliginosum. — A hardy 
fall-blooming Marguerite: very effective late in the 
season during September and October, when it is 
one of the showiest and most attractive of our 
hardy border plants. Grows four feet high, blossoms 
three inches across, pure white rays and yellow cen- 
tre. Invaluable for autumn decoration or cutting 
purposes. Price, 20c. each; $2.00 per doz. 
DOUBLE DWARF GOLDEN SUN- 
FLOWER. 
Helianthus MultJ Hocus PJenus.- Although 
it belongs to the Sunflower family, it does not look 
like one, more resembling a Dahlia' It is not coarse 
in growth, and furnishes a color that is desirable, 
and at the same time scarce. It grows about 3 to 4 
feet high, bearing numerous large golden heads of 
flowers as large as Dahlias, continuing in bloom un- 
til frost. This is one of the showiest flowers, flower- 
ing among the first and continuing until freezing 
weather, during which time it is a dazzling mass of 
golden flowers. Few plants are more showy. Price, 
15c. each; $1.50 per doz.
