Hardy Herbaceous Perennial Plants — Concluded 
Phlox 
(Perennia.1) 
Too much could scarcely be said of this 
class of hardy flowers. They bloom from 
August until hard frost, and embrace a very 
wide range of colors, running through the 
shades of red, pink, lavender, to purest 
white. Very hardy. Price, 10c each; $1.00 
per dozen. 2 to 3 ft. 
Oriental Poppy 
This poppy is perfectly hardy. Its large 
orange scarlet flowers make it one of the 
most showy of all plants. 10c each; $1.00 
per dozen. 
Gladioltfs 
(Not Hardy) 
A beautiful flower, too well known to re- 
quire an extensive description. Succeeds 
well in any good garden soil. Mixed colors 
of yellow, pink, red, variegated and light 
shades. Extra large bulbs that will produce 
two or three spikes of bloom mixed. 5c each; 
40c per dozen; named varieties, 10c each; 
$1.00 per dozen. 
Tuberose 
{Not Hardy) 
Too well known to require a description. 
Plant in very rich soil and keep moist. If 
planted early it will bloom well out of doors. 
5c each; 40c per dozen. 
^-^PEONIES 
It is surprising that so noble a flower, almost resembling the rose in brilliancy of color and perfection of 
bloom, should not be planted more. Amateurs and dealers seem to have lost sight of the many improved 
varieties introduced within the last few years. The first point is their hardiness: in the severest climate the 
plants require no other protection than that which they afiford themselves. They thrive in almost every soil 
or situation, and when planted in large clumps on the lawn make a magnificent display of flowers and foliage. 
Some of the varieties are very fragrant. The following eight varieties will, I am sure, prove very satisfactory. 
Price, 25 cents each. Set for $1.75 
ALBIFLORA, A grand old Peony ; pure white ; 
vei-y large and fragrant. Sometimes shows 
red streaks in the center. 
EARLY ROSE. Early pink variety; blooms 
right after the Old Red; the flowers are 
large and in clusters. 
GOLDEN CENTRE. This is not a large Peony, 
but is a very good one. Pure white, pale 
yellow center. 
HDMEI. A pink Peony ; very full and double ; 
very large and showy; one of the latest in 
bloom. It wants to be mulched heavily in 
order to bring its flowers into perfection. 
LATE ROSE. Similar to Early Rose, only it 
blooms later in the season. It is a fine rose- 
scented flower. 
LADY LENORA BRAMWELL. Very large and 
sweet. 
OFFICINALLIS RUBRA. (Old Red.) Flowers 
of a bright scarlet crimson, quite double 
and globular; very early, rare and fine. 
PATTSII. Dark purple red; very long stem.
