of rose colored flowers in June and July. 
Ajuga genevensis (Bugleweed) —6". Shiny, dark green leaves and dense spikes of intense 
blue flowers in May and June. Will succeed in almost any location. 
Alyssum saxatile compactum (Basket of Gold) —8-10”. No plant can fill rockeries 
with a greater wealth of gold in the early spring. 
Anchusa italica, Feltham Pride (Alkanet) —2'. A fine new Anchusa of very com¬ 
pact habit which in June bears extra large, forget-me-not flowers of a bright blue 
in racemes on a branching stem. 35c each. 
Aquilegia — Bobbie's Long Spurred Hybrids 
Artemesia, Silver King (Ghost Plant)—2-3'. Silver leaves on long straight stems. Used for foliage 
effects and as a filler for bouquets. Dried it makes splendid winter bouquets. 
Aster alpinus (Spring Flowering Bock Aster)—6-10”. From a low leaf tuft come large, daisy-like 
flowers with blue or purple petals and bright orange centers in May and June. Easily grown. 
Aster subcaeruleus—Wartburg Star 
Anchusa myosotidiflora (Alkanet) —12". A fine, low, broad leaved perennial from 
Siberia. In May and June it sends up a myriad of clusters of forget-me-not flowers which 
arise like a blue mist about the great, heart-shaped leaves. 
Aquilegia caerulea, Dobbie’s Imperial Long Spurred Hybrids (Long Spurred Col¬ 
umbine) —18-24". To our mind the finest Long Spurred strain being offered at present. 
Aquilegia glandulosa vera —12-15”. A most beautiful Columbine with very large, bright 
blue spurs and a pure white center. This Aquilegia is a little delicate, but well worth the 
attention of the better gardeners.

Rock Cress) —8-10”. Double flowered 
form of Arabis with larger, fragrant 
flowers, and stems long enough for cut¬ 
ting.

Forms a little tuft of grass-like leaves 
from which, all summer long, pincushion 
heads of bright rosy-red flowers arise in 
steady succession. 
Aqitilegia, Pearson’s Crimson Star—2'. Without doubt one of the most strikingly colored of 
all Columbines. The sepals and spurs of the large flowers are of the richest crimson, while 
the petals are pure white—a beautiful contrast of colors. Our seed of this variety was im¬ 
ported directly from the originator. 35c each. 
A. Dark Beauty — Large, dark purple 
flowers with orange center. 
A. Goliath — Showy, lilac-blue daisies on 
long stalks. Fine for early bouquets and 
the rock garden.

blue. New. 35c each.

England Aster)—4'. A strong, vigorous

and take all the bouquets you like.

ender-blue, deep yellow centered margue¬
