SWEET WILLIAM—Continued 
985 HOLBORN GLORY. This strain is a large-flowered selec¬ 
tion of the auricula-eyed section, the most beautiful and ad¬ 
mired of all Sweet Williams. The individual flowers and 
trusses are of extraordinary size, while the range of color, 
all showing a clear, white eye, is truly superb. Fkt., 10c; V4 
OZ., 25c, 
986 SCARLET BEAUTY. Intense scarlet. Fkt., 10c; Y\ oz., 35c. 
987 DOUBLE MIXED. A splendid strain of this beautiful peren¬ 
nial, comprising a great variety of excellent shades. Pkt., 10c; 
Y\ oz., 35c. 
Thalictrum - Meadow Rue 
Handsome dark foliage resembling the Columbine. The flow¬ 
ers are borne in feathery clusters. Very useful in making bou¬ 
quets. Its light and graceful habit makes it very valuable in 
the perennial border or when placed among the shrubbery. 
988 DIPTEROCARPUM. A handsome herbaceous plant, with 
loose sprays of clear rosy-purple with lemon-yellow stamens 
and anthers. The plant is of strong growth, about 4 to 5 feet 
high. The flowers are produced during August and September. 
Thrives best in a poor soil in a sunny position. Pkt., 15c. 
Tritoma 
(Red-hot Poker, or Torch Lily) 
989 HYBRIDA. The introduction of new, continuous flowering 
Tritomas has given them a prominent place among hardy 
bedding plants. It is not generally known that they are read¬ 
ily grown from seed, many flowering the first year if sown 
early. Of course, for immediate results it will be better to 
get plants, but raising them from seed is highly interesting. 
Perennial. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
Trollius - Globe Flower 
990 LEDEBOURI, GOLDEN QUEEN. The plant is very vigor¬ 
ous, grows from 3 to 4 feet in height, but its chief value lies 
in the size of the flowers, the intense orange color, the ex¬ 
treme floriferousness and the constancy with which it flow¬ 
ers in autumn as well as early summer. It comes practically 
true to type from seed. Most Trollius are rather uncertain to 
raise from seed when sown in the spring, but one of the 
greatest recommendations this introduction has is that the 
seed germinates freely when sown in spring. Seed germi¬ 
nates slowly. Soak in hot water for 5 to 6 hours before sow¬ 
ing. Hardy perennial. Pkt., 35c. 
991 MIXED VARIETIES. Saved from a collection of the new¬ 
est varieties, ranging in color from pale yellow to deep 
orange; on strong stems 2 feet high. Hardy perennial. Grows 
best in a half-shaded moist situation. May and June. Pkt., 
15c. 
Tunica - Coat Flower 
® 992 SAXIFRAGA. A low growing hardy perennial with nar¬ 
row dark green foliage, above which rises a multitude of 
small pale pink blossoms. Grows about 6 inches tall, forming 
patches a foot or more across. Makes an excellent carpeting 
plant both for the rockery and as an edger for the border. 
Full sun. June and July. Pkt., 10c. 
Valeriana - Garden Heliotrope 
Showy hardy perennial; forms small flowers in dense clust¬ 
ers. Very fragrant.

994 FHOENICEUM HYBRIDS. A hardy perennial with spikes 
of white, pink, purple, mauve and blue flowers. Unusually 
attractive for cutting and as a showy plant in the hardy 
border. Will bloom from June to September. Height, 2 feet. 
Pkt., 10c. 
Veronica - Speedwell 
Hardy perennials, suitable for the border and rock gardens, 
of easy culture, thriving in any good ordinary soil. Cut back 
all faded flowers to promote new growth and additional blooms.

1002 PRINCESS OF WALES. Hardy violet, grows anywhere. 
Large, single fragrant blooms. Pkt., 25c. 
Trollius, Golden Gem. 
Viola Cornuta - Tufted Pansies 
A tufted plant of strong growth bearing a 
profusion of faintly scented flowers the size 
of small Pansies. Valuable for the border or 
rock garden. Grows in sun or half shade, 5 
to 8 inches high. If the plants are sheared 
several times during the season so that the 
flowers do not go to seed, they will bloom 
from late April until frost. Perennial. 
@998 APRICOT. A beautiful addition to this 
very popular type of Violas, a rich apricot 
shade, tinged orange towards the center. 
Very effective in the rock garden. Pkt., 25c. 
@999 JERSEY GEM. This variety of recent 
introduction possesses the dwarf and 
everblooming habits of the Viola Cornuta 
or Tufted Pansies and the vigorous, bushy 
growth and roundish foliage of the finest 
English bedding varieties. Color is pure, 
rich violet and slightly perfumed. Pkt. 
25c. 
@1000 ROSY GEM. Dwarf compact habit, 
color rosy pink. Pkt., 15c.

ed clumps. Planted in masses or lines
