HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Aquilegias, or Columbines 
The Columbines are one of the most ele- 
gant and beautiful of hardy plants, produc- 
ing their graceful spurred flowers on stems 
rising 2 feet or more above the beautifully 
divided foliage, and should be planted 
wherever their presence will serve to lighten 
up a too stiff and formal planting, for no 
other plant has so airy a grace as the 
Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, 
or more effectively adapted for cut flowers. 
Price, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per dozen. 
Campanulas, or Bellflowers 
Indispensable, hardy garden flowers, of 
much variety of form, some being of tall 
and imposing habit, while others are dwarf, 
compact little plants, suitable for edging, 
rockwork, etc. They like a good, rich soil, 
and last much, longer in bloom if planted in 
a half shady place. Price, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 
per dozen.

beauty by any other flower. Price, 25 cts. 
each ; $2.50 per dozen.

Papaver Orientale 
Large Oriental Poppies 
These are the legal representatives of this 
popular genus, growing 3 to 3)4 feet high, 
and far surpassing in splendor of bloom all 
the annual and biennial kinds, and for a 
gorgeous display of rich and brilliant color- 
ing nothing equals them during their period 
of flowering in May and June, and whether

flowers and freedom of bloom renders them

(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower,

Flower). The early, free and continuous 
blooming qualities of this variety has made 
it one of the great bedding plants, and 
when we consider that there are few flow- 
ering plants which are suitable for massing 
under our severe climatic conditions, it is 
little wonder that such an elegant subject 
should become so popular. Price, 25 cts. 
each ; $2.50 per dozen.
