Anchusa Myosotodiflora, low, with sprays of forget-me- 
not flowers, Phlox Divaricata, a cloud of soft blue, and 
Doronicum Excelsum, with its large, brilliant, daisylike 
blooms borne on tall stems, are all delightful subjects for the 
spring border. 
The six varieties of Iris which are listed have been especially 
happy here. IRIS CRISTATA is a small, very hardy, native Iris 
which prefers some shade and plenty of leaf mold. It quickly 
forms large mats, which are covered in early May with a pro¬ 
fusion of deliciously scented amethyst-blue flowers crested with 
gold. IRIS Reticulata early in April, sometimes in mid- 
March, makes its dramatic entry into the rock garden. The 
brilliant purple flowers are startling in their richness and inten¬ 
sity. IRIS Pumila Coerulea is a pure sky blue, very small, 
very early and very lovely. IRIS TECTORUM is a beautiful 
crested Iris blooming in June. IRIS TECTORUM ALBA is its 
rare and exquisite white form. In striking contrast to these 
lower things are the four-foot stems of IRIS OCHROLEUCA (var. 
Shelford Giant), bearing well above its handsome foliage its 
great ivory and gold flowers. 
HEUCHERA Rosamunde is an unusually fine type of this 
variety. It is profuse and lasting in bloom, beautiful in color, 
a warm, rosy pink. Once established it throws stalks of bloom 
two and a half feet high continuously from late May through the 
greater part of the summer. HELLEBORUS NIGER (Christmas 
Rose) likes shade and a deeply prepared soil with plenty of 
wood’s earth and very well rotted cow manure. It is perfectly 
hardy, absolutely permanent. The foliage is handsome all the 
year round, and from November to March the lovely waxen 
white flowers, flushed sometimes with soft pink, link the bloom 
of November with the first flowering of spring. 
The great crocuslike cups and handsome foliage of STERN¬ 
BERGIA LUTEA bring the feeling and freshness of spring to the 
autumn border. It is hardy, but in cold climates it is best to 
protect its evergreen foliage with a light covering. Plant any 
time up to September, and enjoy its bloom the same autumn. 
Bulbs delivered after June 15th. 
Triteleia Uniflora Violacea in spite of its formidable 
name is a modest plant for the rock garden, and sends up from 
its small bulbs in early spring an astonishing succession of charm¬ 
ing blue flowers. It presents no cultural difficulties, increases 
rapidly, and it is surprising that it is so little known.

The flowers of these new hybrids are large and pure in color. 
They are all vigorous and free-blooming. They greatly prolong 
the flowering season of the day lilies. Earliest of them to bloom 
is THE GEM with rich deep orange yellow flowers. Next comes 
J. A. CRAWFORD, rich apricot yellow shaded light cadmium. 
Closely following is BAY STATE, with brilliant, glistening deep 
yellow flowers. LEMONA blooms about July first. A four-foot 
stem carries its exquisite soft lemon-yellow flowers. MRS. W. H. 
WYMAN is the latest to bloom. Its light yellow flowers are 
borne in great profusion in early August. 
FLORHAM is an older variety. Its large yellow flowers with 
a hint of apricot have the form, texture and fragrance of a lovely 
lily. DUMORTIERI, dwarf, blooms very early with the German 
Iris. They make a charming companionship.

BOXWOOD 
Our Boxwood, propagated from century old specimens in our 
own grounds, is extraordinarily hardy—within the last ten years 
it has withstood without injury a temperature of fifteen degrees 
below zero. It is of the very best type, is grown with the 
greatest care, and we can say without exaggeration that every 
plant is a specimen. 
Buxus Sempervirens 
This is the ideal hedge plant, permanent and requiring little 
care. A light annual pruning is all that is necessary. Its rich 
green foliage is attractive at all seasons of the year.

Buxus Suffruticosa 
The TULIP Mixture is the surplus accumulated through 
f many years from the tulip collection of a large private garden. 
It is composed of Breeder, Darwin and Cottage tulips in fine 
named varieties, While we recommend them for cutting, a bed 
of these gives the effect of a gorgeous tapestry with a long period 
I of changing beauty and interest. 
True dwarf boxwood. Indispensable for edging. Our plants 
are very full and bushy.
