grow in elevated places where they are much exposed

Japanese Varieties. One of the most gorgeous of 
the hardy garden perennials as well as one of the most

ALPINE VARIETIES OF ANEMONES. This 
group contains some of the loveliest of our spring

extreme profuseness of bloom. 
Pyrethrum-like, heavy-scented plants, with many- 
flowered heads of golden centered flowers. Because of 
their continuous profuse blooming, throughout the 
summer, they are very desirable. 
Tinctoria alba. Creamy white with yellow center. 
18 inches. 7-8.

a large yellow Marguerite in size, form and color, 
and is very free flowering.

and fine cut foliage. 3 feet. 6-9. 
*Aquilegia— Columbine 
From aquilegus—water drawer; referring to its 
fondness for moist places. 
The Columbines, upon which too much praise cannot 
be lavished, are graceful and hardy perennials, that 
will thrive in either sun or shade, and lend themselves 
to any form of planting. The dainty spurred blossoms, 
solitary or in clusters, seem like little butterflies ready 
to take wing at any moment. 
Californica liybrida. A very beautiful hybrid form, 
with the sepals and petals yellowish or tinged with 
orange, while the long, slender spurs are orange-red; 
it is one of the handsomest of all. 30 inches. 5-7.

pretty scarlet flowers mixed with yellow, long 
straight spurs, styles and stamens much protruding.
