foliage, and terminated by clear yellow flowers with dark centers. 25 cts. 
C. lanceolata. Two and one-half feet. All summer. The finest of the class, 
and one of the most beautiful hardy plants grown, with dark lance-foliage, a 
close, compact habit of growth, and a continuous succession of the most bril-

flower is borne on a leafless stem, 8 to 12 inches in length, adapting it most 
admirably for cutting. The flowers are often two inches or more in diameter, 
and when seen on an established plant in full bloom, give an appearance most 
effective. The flowers will last in water ten days without fading, and are most 
excellent for bouquets. This is one of the best-selling perennials ever offered, 
and gives universal satisfaction. Our sales of this plant alone are immense.
