plants, fine for carpeting under trees, around rock work, 
edging beds, etc. Early in spring is very showy with its

why this is not more widely grown, for it is perfectly 
hardy and once planted will take care of itself.

spikes of large pure white lily-like blossoms. 
Asters— Graceful plants, that in autumn are almost hidden

liued purple Perennial Phlox of old fashioned gardens can 
scarcely recognize these new Phloxes as the same flower.

Achillea Crandiflora— A most useful and beautiful hardy 
perennial plant which furnishes a profusion of the choic¬ 
est double, white flowers all summer. It commences to 
bloom by the first of July and is a perfect mass of bloom 
until frost, as many as 5,000 flowers having been counted 
upon the plant at one time. Flowers pure white, per¬ 
fectly double, and are produced in large sprays, and are 
unsurpassed for all sorts of cut-flower work,bouquets,etc. 
It is perfectly hardy any where, and so vigorous that it 
will take care of itself among weeds. For cemetery 
planting there is nothing finer, for it is sure to live, thrive 
and bloom profusely year after year. The plants we 
send out will bloom profusely this summer. 
Calllopsls Lanceolata— Each plant is a sheet of golden 
yellow blossoms, borne high above the foliage on long, 
wiry stems. This is the true Lanceolata, a far inferior 
variety sometimes being sold for it. 
Lychnis Viscaris One of the best herbaceous perennials 
with tall spikes of handsome crimson flowers, very 
double and profuse. It is doubly useful because it comes 
so early in the season, while flowers are yet scarce. 
Hop, Golden Cluster A picturesque vine with its wealth 
of dark green deeply-cleft leaves and its long festooning 
sprays of golden yellow Hops with their grateful, homely 
fragrance and graceful beauty as well as usefulness. 
Hemerocallls, Lemon Lily— The clear yellow lily-like 
flowers are borne on long, stiff stalks, making them 
superior flowers for large vases or for pulpit bouquets.
