Choice Hardy Perennial Plants 
Aconitum (Monkshood) 
A splendid family of plants resembling in habit the 
delphiniums, but flowering during late summer and 
fall. They are very adaptable to grouping and most 
useful where blue is desired as a late garden color. 
Perfectly hardy but slow to establish and for that 
reason should remain undisturbed as long as possible. 
When old plants form dense mats of root-stocks, how¬ 
ever, they should be divided and replanted in rich soil. 
Aconites can be grown in partial shade or full sun.

dark blue, hooded flowers. Height, 4 to 5 feet. 
September, October. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.

tive, glossy leaves; bright blue flowers, carried in 
short, stocky spikes. Height, 2 to 3 feet. September, 
October. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.

strong growth, and has deep violet-blue flowers.

phiniums a splendid all-summer effect is assured.

description. In choosing stock plants we invariably 
regard a thrifty, robust growth of equal importance 
to color and well-developed spurs.
