TRITOM A UVARIA GRAN DI- 
FLORA. 
(Flame Flower.) 
A splendid summerand autumn flowering 
plant, with stately flower scapes and mag- 
nificent terminal dense spikes of rich 
orange red tubular flowers; familiarly known 
from its glowing colors as the “ Red-hot 
Poker.” Effective among shrubbery ; per- 
fectly hardy. 15 cents each, $1.50 per doz. 
ANEMONE JAPONIC A. 
One of the most desirable of all the late 
summer and autumn flowering hardy her- 
baceous plants. They commence flowering 
early in August, and continue until cut 
down by frost. The flow'ers are about one 
and a-half inches in diameter. They thrive 
best in a moist, rich soil, a covering of 
leaves, straw or other long manure being 
sufficient for our most severe winters. 10 
cents each. 
PENSTEMON. 
PENSTEMONS. 
Pensteraons make fine plants from eigh 
teen inches to two feet in height, and are in 
continuous bloom from the time they are 
planted out until frost. Flowers in spikes, 
of gloxinia-like form, shaded and mottled 
in all colors of white, blue, scarlet, crimson 
and pink. They are hardy, with a very 
little covering in the winter. The newer 
varieties have flowers of great size, half 
pendent, bell-shaped, and marked and 
marbled in beautiful shades, making them 
seem more like glowing exotics than hardy 
perennials. The admiration of all who see 
them. They bloom abundantly from June 
to October, and are very valuable for cut 
flowers. , Give them a rich open soil. They 
should be found in every collection, to 
cents each. 
Alba. Delicate pure white, with yellow 
center and dark eye. 
Kosea. Dark rose, shaded pink ; yel- 
low center and dark eye. 
HELIANTHUS MULTI- 
FLORUS. 
(Hardy Double Golden Sunflower.) 
A beautiful hardy plant, growing to the 
height of three to four feet ; flowers a rich 
golden yellow ; very double, and as large 
as a medium sized dahlia. Much prized as 
a corsage flower, and one of the best hardy 
perennials. It begins to bloom in July and 
continues until frost. 10 cents. 
NEW HARDY PASSIFLORA, 
" CONST A NOE ELLIOTT." 
Berlioz. Flowers of excellent iorm ; in- 
terior white, lightly tinted with violet; lobes 
and tube bluish violet. 
Bmile Paladilhe. Flowers very large ; 
amaranthine red, interior rayed with bright 
red ; very beautiful. 
Gounod. Flowers enormous, very large 
lobe ; throat veined violet, on white ground. 
Mine. Dieulafoy. Flowers very large, 
deeply lobed ; white, bordered with cream. 
Parleinent. Very large spikes of violet- 
red flowers; white throats, pencilled purple. 
Mme. de Feydean. Bright currant red ; 
white throat, veined maroon; panicles of 
great size ; of unusual excellence. 
Claud Gellee. The growth of this va- 
riety is very bushy and branching, produc- 
ing immense numbers of flower stems, 
which are studded with beautiful flowers ; 
color rich rosy red, with a white throat, 
lined with rose. 
Yan d’Argent. Light violet, white 
throat ; lower lobes spotted reddish purple ; 
of robust habit. 
This beautiful variety is a seedling from 
Passijlora Ccerulea, and like it, is hardy 
and free-growing. As a hardy climbing 
plant it rivals some of the Clematis in size, 
color and profusion of bloom, and surpasses 
them in vigor of 
growth and de- 
licious fragrance. 
The flowers are 
about four times 
the size shown in 
the engraving, 
and are pure 
ivory white ; ex- 
cellent for ceme- 
tery purposes. 
Without bloom, 
the elegant vine 
would be prized 
greatly even as 
an ornamental 
climber. Strong 
pot plants, 10 
cents. CONSTANCE ELLIOTT.
