PAEONIES. 
Moutan. — The parent species is a native of 
China. The varieties are handsome flowering 
shrubs, attaining from six to eight feet in 
height, in about ten years with proper care. 
The flowers are remarkably striking, of gor- 
geous colors, very numerous and enormous in

across, and appearing in May.

ple at the center. 
Banksii.— (Chinese Double Blush Paeony) — 
Very large, fragrant flowers; rosy blush wiili 
purple center. One of the finest. 
CLASS II.— CHINESE HERBACEOUS 
PAEONIES. 
These are beautiful, showy, and easily culti- 
vated plants, blooming from the beginning of 
May till the end of July. They should have a 
place in every garden. A selection will give 
a continuous bloom for three months. We offer 
the best sorts, varying from pure white, pink 
rose, dark red, purple and deep crimson. 
Fringe leaved Paeonies.— (Paeony Tenui- 
folia, fl. pi.) — Foliage a bright, lively green, in 
long thread-like filaments, giving it the ap- 
pearance of fringe. Scarlet crimson; a choice 
variety; perfectly hardy. 
ANCHUSA. 
Dropmore. — This is the most important 
hardy border plant introduced in many years. 
The best blue flowered plant we have. It is 
hardy, growing to a height of 31/2 feet, making 
a bushy plant which is literally covered with 
pure blue flowers one inch in diameter, and is 
then a paragon of beauty. 
ANEMONE— Wind Flower. 
Japonica. — A distinct and beautiful species; 
flowers 21/0 inches in diameter; bright purplish 
rose, with golden yellow centers, borne in great 
profusion from cieptember to November. 
Height 2% feel; habit neat and compact; very 
desirable and effective as a pot plant, and in 
lines or masses, in beds or mixed borders. 
Queen Charlotte. — A new variety producing 
double rose colored flowers in great profusion 
in the autumn. Very valuable. 
Whirlwind. — A variety producing double 
white flowers in great profusion in the autumn.

the Japonica; flowers 2% inches in diameter;

Caerulea. — (Rocky Mountain Columbine) — 
Flowers large, blue and white, with long spurs. 
June to September. 
Blue Bird Flower. — (veronica longifolia sub- 
sessilis) is destined to create as much furor in 
the floral world as did the Golden Glow. Aside 
from Larkspur, some varieties of Altheas and 
Perennials, there are few true Blue Flowered 
Plants. The Blue Bird Flower is the hand- 
somest blue flowered plant we know of, grow- 
ing to a height of two feet and completely 
studded with its spikes of blue flowers, that at 
a distance resemble blue birds perched in the 
foliage. Its flowers are fine for cutting. It is 
perfectly hardy and increases in strength and 
beauty each succeeding year. It makes the 
ideal and very best blue flowered hardy border 
plant obtainable. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
The small flowered, hardy Chrysanthemum is 
the only variety we offer. We can supply 
them in pink, red, rose, white and yellow. 
COREOPSIS. 
Lanceolata. — One of the best perennials in 
cultivation with large, lemoon yellow flowers on 
long stems; all summer. Two to three feet. 
Grandiflora. — A free flowering, desirable 
species, with rich golden yellow flowers in pro- 
fusion; early summer until fall; eighteen 
inches. 
DELPHINIUM— Larkspur. 
A remarkably showy class of tall growing 
plants, producing magnificent spikes of blue 
flowers in summer. We know of no plants 
which will afford greater satisfaction than 
these.
