Aquilegia (Columbine) 
*Alpina. Alpine Columbine. A beautiful true blue, 
short-spurred form of dwarf habit from Switzerland. 
Fine for the rock-garden. Height, 1 foot. 
Cserulea. Colorado Columbine. Blue and white long- 
spurred flowers. Strong plants, will bloom this 
season. May, June. 
Canadensis. American Columbine. Our native scarlet- 
and-yellow Columbine, and one of the showiest. 
Superb in sun or half-shady places. Height, 1F6 
to 2 feet. 
Chrysantha. Golden Columbine. Golden yellow, fra¬ 
grant flowers, with slender spikes. Height, 3 feet. 
June to August. 
Long-spurred Hybrids. An unusually choice strain of 
lovely hybrids, ranging in color tones from creamy 
white and yellow to bronze-red and blue shades. 
No two plants resemble each other in color, and the 
combination of shades found in this selection defies 
description. In choosing stock plants we invariably 
regard a thrifty, robust growth of equal importance 
to color and well-developed spurs. 
Long-spurred, Crimson Star. An entirely new color 
in the Long-spurred Columbines—rich, dark crim¬ 
son. The plant is vigorous and flowers are produced 
freely. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Long-spurred Blue Shades. Slightly variable but 
attractive shades of blue. 
Long-spurred Pink Shades. A selected strain, some¬ 
what variable, but pink, cerise and bright rose-tinted 
shades predominate. 
Long-spurred, Rose Queen. Soft amaranth-rose, with 
white corolla and occasional white and blue flowers. 
Height, 15 to 18 inches. May, June. 
*Oxysepala. Early Columbine. An extremely hardy 
kind from Siberia, very similar to A. caerulea, but 
more compact and earlier to flower. Very fine. 
Height, 1 foot. 
Artemisia (Wormwood) 
Vulgaris lactiflora. White Mugwort. A very desirable 
and attractive cut-flower subject. Tall sprays of 
creamy white, fragrant flowers and attractive foliage. 
Does best in a rather moist rich soil. Height, 3 to 
4 feet. August, September. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
Silver King. A striking, white-leaved variety of great 
value for mixing with old-fashioned bouquets, and, 
in fact, any floral combination. The general color 
effect is that of silver frosting. Plants attain a height 
of 3 feet and are also of great value for foliage effect 
alone in the border or garden. 30c. each, $3 per doz. 
Astilbe 
The feathery, branching, colorful flower-trusses rise 
well above the majority of flowering plants in late June 
and July, adding style and grace to the garden. All 
Astilbes are at home in partial shade or full sun, and 
thrive in average garden soil. Splendid for cutting if 
first allowed to open full to the tips. 
Avalanche. White flowers on stalky stems 2 feet in 
height. Much the best white. 
Gertrude Brix. Splendid novelty producing brilliant 
dark crimson-red flower-spikes in late June and July. 
Height, 2 feet. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Gloria. Dense, feathery plumes of a brilliant dark pink, 
shaded soft lilac. Dwarf habit. Height, 2 feet. 
Granat. A handsome new variety with rich deep crimson 
flowers. Vigorous growing. Height, 2 feet. 
White Gloria. A counterpart of the well-known Gloria, 
with strong, creamy white flowers. Excellent in the 
garden or as a cut-flower. 
All Astilbes, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 
unless otherwise noted

Pink, and Blue. 
Medium calycanthema, Dean’s Hybrids. A very choice 
strain of mixed colors cf the Calycanthema type. 
Persicifolia. Peachleaf Bellflower. The Persicifolia 
group is valuable because it flowers about mid-June, 
earlier than the Canterbury Bells, and being peren¬ 
nial is reasonably permanent. Fine for cut-flowers. 
Persicifolia alba. Nice white form. 
Persicifolia, Blue. Large, cup-shaped flowers on 
wiry stems. Height, 2 feet. 
*Rotundifolia. Harebell; The Bluebell of Scotland.

August.

*CheiranthuS (Wallflower) 
Allioni. Siberian Wallflower. Small plants averaging 
9 inches in height, completely covered with fragrant 
flowers of a vivid orange-yellow color from May 
until July. Biennial, but seeds itself readily, so 
fairly permanent.

to every garden, needs no description. Everyone 
knows and wants it. Single leads, 15 cts. each, $1.25
