COLORADO WILD FLOWERS. 
A. COERULEA. Rocky Mountain Columbine. 2 feet. This is the Queen of Col¬ 
umbines and is so much appreciated in Colorado that it has been made the 
state flower. The blooms are very large, blue and white, long-spurred, and 
the plant is in every way highly decorative. Plant in a partly shaded spot, 
in good mellow loam, with some leaf mold if obtainable, and protect with a 
light mulch in fall. The seed we offer is true wild stock from the mountains 
and our plants are grown from this. It hybridizes so easily that seed grown 
near other sorts would be badly mixed. 10 cents each. $1.00 per dozen; 
seed 10 cents. 
ARGEMONE. 
A. HISPIDA. Colorado Silver Poppy. 2 feet. Beautiful glaucus foliage, and 
satiny white flowers 4 inches across, with golden yellow centers. Sandy or 
well drained soil. Seed 10 cents. 
A. PLATYCERAS. Prickly Poppy. 3 feet. Handsome foliage and immense flow¬ 
ers, all summer. Seed 10 cents. 
ARTEMISIA. 
A. ABSINTHIUM. Wormwood. 3 feet. Useful and ornamental. Most of the 
Artemisias possess an aromatic odor which is often pleasant. They are all 
valuable for their ornamental foliage which some of them retain nearly all 
winter. They should be planted in masses or groups, either alone or among 
shrubbery, etc. 25 cents, seed 10 cents. 
A. ARBUSCULA. Sage Brush. 3 feet. An interesting shrubby sort, nearly 
evergreen, foliage whitish. Seed 10 cents. 
A. CANADENSIS. Canada Sage. 2 feet. Slender sort with green foliage. Seed 
10 cents. 
A. FILIFOLIA. Thread-leaved Sage Brush. Feathery foliage and flower sprays 
having a delicate purplish tint not unlike the Smoke Tree. Seed 10 cents. 
A. FRIGIDA. Mountain Sage. 1 foot. Fine silvery moss-like foliage, nearly 
evergreen, useful for edgings, for covering dry stony ground, for planting 
among spring or summer blooming bulbs and shrubbery and for medicine. 
It stands drought, poor soil and neglect to a remarkable degree. 2 for 10 
cents, 50 cents per dozen; seed 10 cents. 
A. GNAPHALOIDES Silver Sage. 1 foot. Broad silvery-white foliage, long 
graceful sprays of silvery bead-like flower heads, and the same characteristics 
of hardiness as the last, make this plant desirable in every collection. 10 cents, 
75 cents per dozen; seed 10 cents. 
A. LUDOVICIANA Cut-leaved Silver Sage. 1 foot. Differing from the last in 
foliage which is somewhat laciniate. 10 cents, 75 cents per dozen; seed 10 
cents.

flowers purple, in large umbels, very fragrant; pods showy. 15 cents, $1.50 
per dozen; seed 10 cents.

very easily grown, and succeeds with but little moisture. Plant in partial
