(Illustrated above) 
Provides an exceptional pot plant with only one pinching and can be 
plunged outside during summer. Also extremely desirable for garden 
show. This is one of the most admired hardy Chrysanthemums. It is a 
solid, compact grower. The flowers come continuously throughout the 
entire fall. The whole clump, while in flower is completely covered. 
Rooted cuttings. 100.$5.00 1,000..$40.00 
2-inch pot plants (ready in April). 100.$8.00 1,000.$70.00 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM "Aladdin" 
The Perpetual Flowering Mum. The flowers are borne on erect stems, 
the terminal buds giving the first bloom. As the plant develops, the 
lateral branches make a surprising growth, throwing the lateral and 
sub-lateral flowers well above the first terminal blooms. The first blooms 
appear late in July and early in August, the color at first being an 
exquisite warm coppery bronze, with an overlay of orange-apricot shade 
which deepens in early autumn. 
Rooted cuttings. 100.$5.00 1,000.$40.00

We mention below but a few of the many hundreds of desirable kinds 
that can be supplied. 
DELPHINIUM 
Perennial Larkspur 
Indispensable to the herbaceous garden. Their long showy spikes of 
flowers persist from June till frost and furnish the most satisfactory blues 
to any color scheme. 
NOTE! The varieties "Belladonna" and "Bellamosum" are also desirable 
for forcing. 
Belladonna. The most continuous blooming of all, never being out of bloom 
from June first until cut down by hard frost. The clear turquoise blue of 
its flowers is not equalled for delicacy and beauty by any other flowers. 
10.$1.00 100.$7.00 
Belladonna Improved (Cliveden Beauty). Our strain of Belladonna Im¬ 
proved is produced from stock seed of Cliveden Beauty, carefully se¬ 
lected to keep it absolutely pure and true to type. It is far superior to 
much of the so-called Belladonna Improved that is on the market today. 
We can thoroughly recommend it to the florist or nurseryman who really 
is critical and wants the best to be had. It is the finest light blue for 
forcing or for out-door growing. 10.$1.50 100.$10.00 
Bellamosum. This is a dark blue form of the popular light blue Bella¬ 
donna, with which it is identical in habit and growth, freedom of bloom, 
but with intensely rich, deep blue flowers. 10.$1.00 100.$7.00 
Blackmore & Langdon Hybrids. For many years, we have grown many 
different strains of Delphinium, having in mind to supply our customers 
with the best obtainable. This strain without a doubt stands in a class 
by itself. It has the range of colors well divided in the pale shades of 
indigo with a strong run of the most delicate shades of rose, double 
and single. 10.$1.50 100.$10.00 
GYPSOPHILA 
Baby's Breath 
Does well in rather dry places. Valuable for "mist effect" in bouquets 
and in the garden, where a mass of delicate, misty bloom will fill a 
bare place. 
Acutifolia. Pretty and useful species. Lilac-rose. Height 1 foot. 
10.$1.00 100.$7.00 
Bristol Fairy. A Double Gypsophila of greater vigor, producing larger 
panicles of flowers, and having the advantage of blooming more or less 
continuously all summer, new branches of bloom appearing after the 
first flush of flowers has passed, if these are cut. We offer (grafted) 
3-inch pot plants. 10.$2.50 100.$20.00 
Maginii. Rosy pink, 2 feet. 10.$1.50 100... .$10.00 
Oldhamiana. New variety somewhat similar to Paniculata but it has a 
much longer season, flowering until late in the Autumn. Flowers white, 
delicately tinted pink. 10.$1.50 100.$10.00 
Pacifica. New pink variety of strong growth, blooming after the Panicu¬ 
lata is past its best. 4 feet. 10.$2.00 100.$15.00 
Paniculata (Baby's Breath). A beautiful old-fashioned plant possessing a 
grace not found in any other perennial and attracting the eye of every¬ 
one. Dense spreading bush, numerous tiny flowers in light feathery 
panicles, delicate foliage, fine for cutting, excellent for border or large 
rock gardens. July and August. If cut and dried will make excellent 
filler for winter use. Strong roots. 10.$1.00 100.$7.00 
Paniculata FI. PI. A light and graceful cutflower, compatible with all 
others, no matter of what shape or color; masses of minute double 
white flowers. 10.$3.00 100.$25.00 
3-inch pot plants (ready in April). 10.$2.50 100.$20.00
