Agapanthus 
Blue Lily of the Nile 
Umbellatus. With their continual succession of 
stout flower stems crowned with fine umbels of rich

of this variety are among the most constantly effective 
summer-blooming bulbous plants in the garden; and 
their usefulness is enhanced by the fact of their easy 
culture. They make a particularly attractive showing 
planted in lines, and are decorative as tub specimens.

Anemone Japonica 
The Japanese Wind-Flowers are among the loveliest 
fall-blooming plants. As cut flowers they last exceed¬ 
ingly well and there are few plants more attractive or 
graceful in herbaceous borders. They bloom in wonder¬ 
ful profusion from August until late fall. Plants attain 
a height of 4 to 5 feet. Require a partially-shaded 
northern aspect for best results, with plenty of water 
and an occasional mulch of rotted manure.

Aquilegia (Columbine) 
In Richest of Colorings 
Selection and re-selection of flowers through¬ 
out a period of many years enables us to offer a 
strain of the lovely long-spurred type of Aquile- 
gias that has no superior and probably not an 
equal. Their value for bedding, their beauty and 
grace for cutting and their hardiness and the 
ease with which they can be grown place the 
Columbines among the most useful herbaceous 
perennials. The stock we offer is unusually vig¬ 
orous, making fine growth, and free-flowering, 
with stems rising 2 feet or more above the airy, 
dainty foliage.

and one of the latest to have been segregated. 
Immense blossoms of the true long-spurred type, 
wide-open cups and sepals. A color seldom found 
in flowers. 
Rose Queen. Similar to the above in all 
respects excepting the color, which is a lovely rose 
shade, exceptionally attractive in this class of 
plants. 
Silver Queen. Glistening silver-white and 
an admirable companion to the blue and rose 
varieties, with similar large and lasting flowers. 
H. & S. Prize Mixed. A choice selection of 
our own hybrids in a wonderful range of colors. 
Contains all the charming tints, tones and com¬ 
binations. Will appeal for use as cut-flowers 
where variety is desired.
