Chrysanthemum Mawii 
A new, hardy, single Daisy 
Chrysanthemum with large pink 
flowers about 2 inches across. The 
beauty of the flowers is enhanced 
by the silvery foliage. Ideal for the 
border or rockery. Height about 
1 foot. Pkt. 50 cts., 5 pkts. $2. 
Cephalaria alpina 
PERENNIAL 
Best described as a giant, hardy, 
yellow scabiosa, with plants that 
grow to a height of 6 to 8 feet, 
branch freely, and bloom practi¬ 
cally all summer and fall. The 
flowers are very double, of deep 
canary-yellow color, and look 
exactly like a scabiosa on extremely 
wiry stems from 18 to 24 inches 
long. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 
Cyclamen ibericum 
A native of the Caucasus Moun¬ 
tains. It makes a charming addi¬ 
tion to the rock-garden for early 
spring blooming. The plant forms 
its leaves and flowers beneath the 
ground in September, and it is thus 
able to appear in bloom on the 
first snowless days of March or 
April. Its peculiar, open, bell¬ 
shaped, bright purple flowers grow 
in large quantities above the kid¬ 
ney-shaped leaves, supplying a 
color which is missing at this time 
of the year. Considering the native 
habitat of this Cyclamen, a not- 
too-moist, porous leaf-mold, mixed 
with lime, is the best soil. In such a 
soil the bulbs will remain healthy 
and become strong and flower 
regularly after the second year. 
Pkt. (15 seeds) 50 cts., 5 pkts. $2. 
Digitalis, The Shirley Giant

An improved strain with spikes
