It is nature’s floral statuary—stately stalks of color that combine 
delightfully with Annunciation Lily, Canterbury Bells and 
Miss Lingard Phlox.

Yet these graceful perennials are equally attractive arranged in 
beds with ample spacing or planted separately some distance 
apart.

There is not a particle of trouble in growing the rare Deer 
Tongue Lilies (or “Dog Tooth Violets,” as they are called where 
they grow wild); nor is it any harder to grow our Camassias, 
Trilliums, many of our true Lilies and Lady Slippers in the East. 
One sale of these to an Eastern address is always followed by another 
the following year. 
In Hardy Perennial Plants I offer much of interest in Catalogue

for reference. It describes plants for every garden purpose; the big 
border, the specialist’s garden, flagged walks, rock gardens, the 
lily pond. . . .

prefer novelties or standard sorts. 
Hollyhocks. I offer a very wide assortment in separate colors 
—plants that will give immediate results.

variety excellent, and the price, 25 c each, $ 2.50 per dozen, postpaid. 
Michaelmas Daisies. Nowhere else in America are there so

Peonies. Pacific Coast enthusiasts woidd do well to get my list 
before they purchase. 
And these are only a few of my offerings.
