ACHILLEA Ptarmica, v;ir. The Pearl. Small, double, white flow- 
ers covering the plant in July; much used for cut-flowers and in 
cemeteries. One of the most popular of all hardy herbaceous plants. 
Invaluable for borders. 2 to 2 ft. 
ALTHAEA rosea. HOLLYHOCK. Almost indispensable as a back- 
ground for beds and borders, as their straight, towering spikes are 
a mass of bright flowers the entire summer. They require a deep, 
rich soil and will not succeed if planted where water is liable to 
stand. We offer a fine collection of double sorts in four distinct 
colors : Crimson, Yellow, Pink and White. 
var. New Allegheny. Immense semi-double flowers with fringed 
edges ; very beautiful. 
ANEMONE Japonica, var. alba. Windflower. Pure white, with 
yellow centers ; large, single, long-stemmed flowers. Fine for cut- 
ting, and will furnish the house with flowers in great abundance. 
One of the most showy of all our autumn-blooming herbaceous 
plants. Blooms freely from August till cut down by frost. In light, 
somewhat moist, rich soil die plants make a beautiful hardy border 
or bed. A covering of leaves or straw is necessary for their protec- 
tion. 2 to 3 ft. 
ASCLEPIAS tuberosa. Butterfly Weed ; Pleurisy Root. 
Flowers brilliant orange-red on stem 2 ft. high. July. 
ANTHEMIS tinctoria Kelwayii. Hardy Golden Marguerite ; 
Chamomile. Flowers golden yellow, from 1 to 2 inches across; 
abundant from June until September. Very valuable for cutting. 
2 ft. high. 
*AQUILEGIA. Columbine. These are plants of elegant habit, distinct 
in foliage and flowers. The latter form a showy crown well above 
the clear-cut leaves. All 
the species like partially 
shaded, well-drained soil. 
One of the best plants for 
rockwork, or growing un- 
dertrees. Mixed varieties, 
double and single. 
ASTER Tatarica. 
(Hardy.) Michaelmas 
Daisies. The glory of the 
perennial garden in the 
fall is accentuated by the 
tumbling, billowy masses 
of the Asters. This is the 
most showy of the genus, 
and makes strong clumps 
of bright green out of which 
reaches its tall stems of 
bright purple flowers, 4 to 
6 feet. September and 
October.
