PERENNIAL PLANTS, Continued. 
Arabis: ROCK CRESS. 
Alpina. One of the most desirable of the 
very early spring flowering plants. Is espe- 
cially adapted for edging and rock garden 
but does equally well in the border, form- 
ing a dense carpel completely covered with 
pure white flowers. It is splendid for cut- 
ting and lasts a long time in bloom. 
BelHs Perennis: ENGLISH DAISY. 
Double flowering white and pink. 
Campanula Medium: CANTER- 
BURY BELLS. 
Canterbury Bells are among the showiest 
and most effective old-fashioned flowering 
plants, blooming in late May and June. 
They are suitable for planting either in 
clumps of a few plants or in great masses, 
making a display with their dainty tones 
of rose-pink, blues and whites, a sight of 
unsurpassed beauty. They usually bloom 
for a period of from four to five weeks and 
this can be prolonged by pinching out the 
flowers as soon as they fade. We offer 
strong plants that will bloom the same sea- 
son as planted in rose-pink, blue or white. 
Campanulas: BELLFLOWER. 
An indispensable hardy garden flower, 
showing 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 will last much longer in bloom 
if planted in a half shady place. The taller 
growing varieties should be staked to pre- 
vent injury from high wind. 
Carpatica. A pretty species growing in 
contact tuft not exceeding eight inches 
high. Flowers clear blue. Begins blooming 
in June, continuing until October. Suitable 
for border or rockery work. 
Persicifolia. PEACH BEI.F.S. Blue flow- 
ers during June and July. Attains a height 
of two feet. 
Alba. A pure white form of the Persici- 
folia variety. 
Pyramidalis. CHIMNEY BELLFLOWER 
The most conspicuous of all Bellflowers, 
forming a perfect pyramid four to six feet 
high, crowded with large porcelain-blue 
flowers in August. 
Cerastium: SNOW IN SUMMER. 
Tomentosum. A desirable low growing 
plant with silvery foliage and white flowers 
in June. Suitable for the rockery nr for 
carpeting dry sunny spots, or for covering 
graves. 
COREOPSIS. 
Lanceolata Grandiflora. A very popular 
hardy plant. Flowers a rich golden yellow, 
graceful in form and invaluable for cutting. 
Commences to bloom the latter part of 
June and continues throughout the entire 
Summer and Autumn. Succeeds every- 
where. Two to three feet high. 
Delphinium: HARDY LARKSPUR 
Larkspurs begin to bloom about the mid- 
dle of June. As soon as each crop of flow- 
ers is faded if the stalks are cut off close 
to the ground a new growth will be made 
and a new crop of flowers secured. 
Belladona. A free and continuous bloomer 
from the end of June until Autumn frosts. 
The flowers are of Turquoise blue and un- 
equalled for delicacy and beauty. 
Chinense. A pretty dwarf species with 
fine feathery foliage and intense Genetian- 
blue flowers in open panicles. This variety 
also comes in a white flowering species. 
Formosum. The old favorite dark blue 
with white center. Three to four feet 
high. A vigorous tree flowering popular 
kind. 
Gold Medal. The finest strain of mixed 
Hybrids on the market. The plants are of 
strong, vigorous habit with laage flowers 
on unusually long spikes. These are sup- 
plied in mixed colors only. 
Digitalis: FOXGLOVE. 
This is an old-fashioned, dignified and 
stately flower and is indispensable to a 
complete garden. The strong flowerstocks, 
which frequently grow four to six feet 
high, always give an appearance of 
strength and during the period of bloom- 
ing dominate the whole garden. We offer 
them in white, purple, rose or mixed. 
Gallardia: BLANKET FLOWER. 
Grandiflora. A very hardy, showy plant 
growing about two feet high, beginning to 
flower in June and continuing throughout 
the entire season. Succeeds in any soil and 
prefers a sunny position. Flowers are of 
gorgeous coloring. The center is dark-red 
brown while the petals are marked with 
rings of brilliant crimson, orange and Ver- 
million and often a combination of all in 
one flower.
