ACONITUM Fischeri (Monkshood). While this plant will grow in the full sun, 
it has the additional advantage of succeeding in the shade or semi-shade and 
may even be grown under trees. Furthermore, it blooms in September when 
flowers in the garden are getting scarce. It is a stately plant, growing 2/i to 
3 feet tall, and the foliage is decorative and attractive. The color of the

ANTHERICUM Iiliastrum major (St. Bernard's Lily). This lovely plant has 
narrow grassy leaves and the Lily-like flowers are borne in the most graceful 
sprays. It will grow in the full sun or the partial shade but it should not be planted 
in the full shade. Cut, it makes lovely bouquets either alone or in combination 
with other flowers. The flower spikes are 1 /l ^ eet tall and the lovely white Lily-

ment over the old Kelwayi with handsome finely cut foliage with flowers colored

ARABIS alpina fl. pi. (Rock Cress). This lovely little semi-creeping plant is equally 
useful as an edging plant or for low borders or in the rockery. In the spring it is

enough to cut for small bouquets and which last a long time when cut. 3 for 
$1.00; $3.00 per doz. 
Aster Alpinus 
doz.

grassy leaves. The tufted plants grow about six inches tall and are covered with 
lovely pale pink flowers in May and June. Specially desirable for edging or for 
planting in crowded places. Indispensable in the rockery. 3 for 65c; $2.00 per 
doz. 
ARTEMISIA, Silver King. The startlingly new Southenwood and absolutely one of 
the best of the decorative plants. The white leaved foliage makes the plant look as 
though it were made of frosted silver, which gleams in the sunlight, producing a 
color contrast which can be secured with no other plant. It makes the most won¬ 
derful bouquets either alone or in combination with other flowers. If cut just be¬ 
fore the first frost and put in a vase without water, it will last for months through¬ 
out the winter. We can suggest nothing as useful either for the garden or for the 
house. 3 for 75c; $2.50 per 
ASTER alpinus. A lovely dwarf Alpine Aster growing about 8 inches high and 
bearing in May and June the loveliest light blue daisy-like flowers. Splendid 
for the flower garden or in the rockery. 3 for $1.00; $3.00 per doz. 
A. alpinus, Dark Beauty. Identical in size, habits and uses as Alpinus excepting 
that the daisy-like flowers are a lovely, luscious dark blue. 3 for $1.00; $3.00 
per doz. 
ASTILBE Arendsi. These hardy plants are easily grown in the perennial border, 
and should give quantities of blooms all summer. In general they are quite 
tall, varying from 3 to 5 feet, according to the soil conditions and location. A 
new type obtained by crossing one of the older varieties with some of the new 
Japanese introductions. The plants are of vigorous growth, and produce feath¬ 
ery heads of flowers on many-branched stems. This variety will succeed in 
ordinary garden soils, if shaded from hot sun and given plenty of moisture.
