Day Lily, Large Blue— Lovely blue flowers on tall spikes. 
Variegated Leaved— Leaves as handsome as a flower. A 
rosette-cluster of almost white leaves, lightly striped 
with green and yellow. Flowers pretty pale lilac-blue 
on tall spikes. Fine also for pots. Altogether this is 
one of the very finest (certainly one of the most attrac¬ 
tive and ornamental) of all hardy plants. 
Large White—Pure in color as the driven snow, as smooth 
in texture as though cut from sheeted wax. 
Calystegia”Pubescens— 
A fine double perennial 
Morning Glory. Vari¬ 
ously called Rose Vine, 
Double Morning Glory, 
California Rose, etc. A 
hardy perennial vine, 
coming from the roots 
each spring, and bearing 
quantities of pale satiny- 
pink flowers, as full and 
double as roses. Just the 
vine for rockeries, banks 
poor, hard soil, where 
nothing else will grow, 
or a hundred other places 
where a rarely handsome 
trailing or climbing vine 
is needed that is able to 
take care of itself. The 
vines we send out will 
bloom the first season 
and continue all sum¬ 
mer. Its long vines, 
wreathed in a profusion 
of large double Rose-like 
blossoms are very attrac¬ 
tive. 
Statice, or Thrift— This 
is a dainty little plant, 
forming compact tufts of 
narrow green foliage, 
which makes it particu¬ 
larly valuable for edg¬ 
ing, The flowers are a 
clear bright pink, and 
borne in clusters on tall 
stems. It blooms all summer long, and is a very pretty, 
desirable and useful flower, really the best of all hardy 
plants for edging walks, beds. etc. 
Eulalias— Elegant ornamental grasses, growing ten feet 
high, with beautiful foliage and large featnery plumes. 
We have three varieties—Zebrina. Japonica and Gracil- 
lima. Should be in every garden. 
Mountain Fleece— One of the latest bloomers we have, 
flowering with the Chrysanthemum. Tts great sprays of 
feathery white bloom are not only pretty in the garden, 
but are in great demand for all sorts of floral work. 
Spirea Filipendula— Grows two feet high, with large feath¬ 
ery plumes of the most charming white blossoms. 
Spi rea Elegans —Pure white, in large compact, spirals. 
Spirea Ulmaria— Fine foliage and elegant flowers. 
Platycodon Crandiflora— A lovely free blooming plant. 
Yucca Filamentosa— The stately clumps of stiff, bayoret- 
like leaves, bristling out from the center in every direc¬ 
tion, are extremely ornamental. Flower stalks are 
thrown up as high as a man’s head, and hear at their 
summit immense compound panicles of creamy bell- 
shaped flowers, each floret two inches across. 
Mosquito Catcher Plant— This pretty plant, Vincetoxicum 
comes from Japan. It grows one to two feet high and 
* all summer, hearing a profusion of pretty, white, 
star-like blossoms that secrete a viscid fluid that at- 
iff i wawa . tracts mosquitoes and sometimes other insects as well. 
mlBlH Alas for the P° or mosquito! No struggling on Ms 
wgttMi part can ever free him after he has once dipped Ms 
beak in the forbidden sweets, though he may tug and 
plunge and buzz for a day or two after. A single spray 
of bloom will capture a dozen mosquitoes. 
Anemone, Whirlwind— A variety of the beautiful old A. 
Japonica, but with large, semi-double blossoms of a snow- 
white color. It possesses a beauty' and airy grace which 
is seen in but few flowers, and its great profusion of 
bloom at the end of summer and during fall, when pure 
white flowers are scarce, makes it very valuable—in fact 
one of the finest novelties of the year. We regret we are 
unable to give it more space, as all should possess it. 
Candytuft, Hardy— A plant of exquisite beauty, being o* 
low, compact, spreading growth, and producing its pro¬ 
fusion of bloom in May or June when pure white flowers 
are particularly scarce. Its profusion of bloom is so 
great that a bed of it looks at a little distance like a mass 
of fleecy snow just fallen. Few hardy plants will give as 
much real satisfaction as will this beautiful gem. Lift¬ 
ed late in the fall it will bloom well in the bouse during 
winter. Perfectly hardy and foliage ever green. 
Hardy Pinks— Magnificent early-blooming garden flowers, 
which are always greatly' admired, both for their deli¬ 
cate beauty and perfume. 
Her Majesty—A compact and healthy grower with beauti¬ 
ful and distinct foliage. Flowers a lovely clear white in 
color, very double, and produced on long, stiff stems, 
exhaling an exquisite clove-scented fragrance; rivaling 
the finest Carnation in size and substance. 
Anne Boleyn— Like the above, but a rich pink, with dark¬ 
er center; a most charming combination of color. 
Hardy Marguerites— A popular daisy-like flower, largely 
grown now for cutting and wearing. Graceful and mod¬ 
est, and very profuse, blooming a long time each season. 
White (.Pyrethrum Uliqenosum)— Large white flowers, with 
a golden center. A fine late summer and fall flower. 
Golden— Large golden yellow flowers in great profusion. 
A fine contrast to the white variety. 
Hibiscus, Childs’ Hardy Hybrids. 
Sweet Mary— This plant was known in olden times only as 
Sweet Mary', producing an abundance of beautiful leaves 
all summer, which are indispensable for bouquets and 
cut flowers. This lovely old plant has almost gone out of 
cultivation, and we know that many of our customers 
\ will thank us for re-introducing it.
