Cheiranthus Allioni 
Campanula 
Medium. Canterbury Bells. Ever-popular favorites. 
White, Pink, Lavender, Blue, and Mixed Colors. 
Medium calycanthema. Cup and Saucer. White, 
Pink, and Blue. 
Medium calycanthema, Dean’s Hybrids. A very choice 
strain of mixed colors cf the Calycanthema type. 
Persicifolia. Peacbleaj 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. 
Persicifolia, Lady Evelyn. Lovely lilac, bell-like 
flowers. Growth wiry and more branchy and free 
than the type. 35 cts. each, 90 cts. for 3, $3.50 per 
doz. 
*Rotundifolia. Harebell; The Bluebell of Scotland. 
Desirable for the wild garden or for colonizing 
among rock-crevices, with its dainty clear blue bells 
and wiry stems. Height, 12 to 18 inches. June to 
August. 
For Dwarf Campanulas see page 28 
*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. 
Convallaria (Lily-of-the-Valley) 
*Majalis. This dainty, fragrant favorite, so essential 
to every garden, needs no description. Everyone 
knows and wants it. Single leads, 15 cts. each, $1.25 
per doz., $7.50 per 100; strong clumps, 35 cts. each, 
$3.50 per doz., $25 per 100. 
Majalis, Fortin’s Giant. A splendid garden strain, with 
distinctly larger foliage and flowers than the well- 
known type and much superior for garden purposes. 
Fine for massing near shrubs or along shaded borders. 
Single leads, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 per 100; 
clumps, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $35 per 100. 
Cypripedium 
Delphinium (Larkspur) 
The Delphinium is, we believe, the most satisfactory 
of all border plants, and is deserving of special care. It 
does not do well under congested conditions. A rich 
soil is desirable, but the roots must not come in con¬ 
tact with manures. Bonemeal should be well mixed 
into the soil before planting, and a light application 
made after each crop of flowers is cut. If these are cut 
close to the ground, new flowering growths will appear 
from the base of the plant, and, with proper care, will pro¬ 
duce a second crop of blooms and continue until frost. 
Bristol Hybrids. Grown from seed selected with the 
utmost care from vigorous hybrids, we believe this 
selection will contain kinds that are fully equal to 
many of the best named varieties, with the advantage 
of added vigor. It is a fact that the finer European 
named varieties, which must be propagated from 
division or by cuttings, are prone to deteriorate in 
the process and are not fully at home under our more 
changeable climatic conditions. This hybrid strain 
includes a range of lovely colors varying from azure- 
blue to deepest purple, mauve-pink to rosy lavender. 
Many are semi-double with distinct centers. Strong 
and vigorous, and, when well established, stately 
spikes attaining a height of 7 feet are not unusual. 
35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100. 
Hollyhock or Wrexham Type. A new race, with tapering 
spire-like spikes of unusual length and beauty, and 
including lovely color tints and shades. This type will 
flower late, following the hybrids, and thus prolong 
the Delphinium season. Named kinds, such as 
Wembly, Coquette, Advancement, and Mauve 
Queen, are included in this selection. They are 
remarkably fine Delphiniums, but do not come 
sufficiently true from seed to offer by name. 50 cts. 
each, $5 per doz., $35 per 100. 
Belladonna, Blue Grotto. A splendid addition of Euro¬ 
pean introduction. In growth it is equal in every 
way to Belladonna, but the color is a rich dark blue. 
35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Belladonna Improved. The most continuous blooming 
of all, producing numerous spikes throughout the 
season, varying from 3 to 4 feet in height. The dainty 
clear turquoise shade of blue peculiar to this variety 
is greatly in demand as a garden color. 
*Chinensis, Blue Butterfly. Dark blue. Nice for 
massing. Height, 18 inches. 
*Chinensis grandiflorum album. A good white form. 
Bristol Hybrid Delphiniums 
*Pubescens. Common Yellow Lady’s Slipper. Does 
well in moist, yet well-drained soil, enriched with 
leaf-mold. Height, 1 foot. May, June. 
Perennials on the page, unless noted, are 25 cts. each, 65 cts. for 3 of one kind, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100
