Summer- and late autumn-flowering plants with 
bold spikes of hood-shaped flowers, thriving in

ber.

spikes of pale blue flowers. 6 feet. 
AcorUS (Sweet Flag) 
CALAMUS. A fine aquatic plant, with long, 
sweet-scented, iris-like foliage, suitable for planting 
on the edges of ponds and streams, or in shallow 
water. 
Calamus variegata. Foliage beautifully striped 
white and green. 25 cts.

25 cts. 
Adonis 
One of the loveliest and earliest of spring-flowering 
Iants, with finely cut foliage and large yellow 
owers. Charming for the rockery or front of bor¬ 
der. The two following are beautiful new varieties 
from Japan.

large, clear yellow flowers, in March. 50 each, 
$5 per doz.

flowers green and yellow. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
Alyssum 
SAXATILE compactum. Broad masses of 
bright yellow flowers in early spring. An excellent 
plant for the rockery or front of borders. 1 foot. 
Saxatile fl. pi. A fine, double-flowered variety. 
25 cts. 
Anchusa (Alkanet) 
For producing a mass effect of brilliant blue, the 
Anchusas cannot be surpassed. Dropmore, the 
darkest one, is more effective than Perry’s Variety, 
which is too straggly in habit. Opal has larger 
flowers and is the best of the tall varieties, produc¬ 
ing a solid sheet of soft turquoise-blue. They should 
be treated as biennials, as the old plants exhaust 
themselves at the end of two or three years. They 
reproduce themselves, however, from self-sown 
seed. The blooming season can be extended for 
several weeks by cutting the spikes as soon as the 
flowers fade, thus preventing seeding. 
DROPMORE VARIETY. Tall spikes of beau¬ 
tiful blue flowers, flowering all summer. Rough 
broad foliage. 5 to 6 feet. 25 cts. 
OPAL. New. Very beautiful variety, with large 
pale blue flowers. 3 to 4 feet. 25 cts. 
MYOSOTIFLORA. A very beautiful and dis¬ 
tinct, new, dwarf perennial variety from Russia, 
with clusters of charming blue flowers resembling 
forget-me-nots. An effective rock-plant for shady 
places. 1 foot. 25 cts.
