Hardy AGERATUM 
Eiipatorium Coelestinum 
Of the hundreds of varieties of plants in our display 
gardens none are so popular as the so-called Hardy Agera- 
turn. Almost without exception every customer who calls 
here and sees it in bloom orders it. Its color, a lovely 
light purple, is almost identical with the famous annual 
Ageratum, but unlike its namesake, it is perennial and 
hardy, standing in our gardens temperatures down to 
thirty degrees below zero. It is even a more prolific 
bloomer than the tender Ageratum and develops literally 
myriads of its lovely flowers. A truly wonderful border 
plant, which is exceptionally fine for 
cut flowers. 3 for 60c; $2.00 per doz. 
Statice Latifolia 
The famous Baby’s Breath is the 
most popular plant in the world for 
embellishing bouquets and is used 
literally by the millions. Splendid as the Baby’s 
Breath is for this purpose, the Sea Lavender is 
even better. If the amateur gardeners knew 
what we professionals know, the nurseries of 
America could not supply the demand for this 
great plant. Its lacy, delicate, lovely lavender- 
blue flowers are incomparably the finest bou¬ 
quet embellishment in existence; besides the 
plants are indescribably lovely in the garden. 
3 for 75c; $2.50 per doz. 
Statice dumosa. The new Sea Lavender which 
created a tremendous sensation in English gar¬ 
dens. The flowers are produced in dense 
cushions and colored a most exquisite, pure, 
cool silvery white. 3 for 85c; $2.75 per doz. 
Kansas 
Gay Feather 
Liatris Pycnostachya 
Kansas Gay Feather is one of the 
most interesting of all garden plants. 
It produces long, narrow spikes 
about four feet tall of lovely rich 
purple flowers blooming in mid¬ 
summer. Not only is it splendid in 
the garden, but, in addition, it is 
one of the loveliest and most effec¬ 
tive of all cut flowers. Perhaps its 
most interesting and desirable fea¬ 
ture, however, is its attraction for 
butterflies. When in bloom it would 
seem to attract all the butterflies 
from miles around and we have seen 
the flower spikes so covered with 
these lovely little creatures that it 
was impossible to determine which 
was the more beautiful, the flower 
Or the fluttering iridescent color of 
the butterflies. We of the Elliott 
organization who are professional 
horticulturists, and often are more 
or less “fed up” with beautiful 
things, can still watch the lovely 
combination of flower and insect 
color with absorbed interest for 
hours. 3 for 75c; $2.25 per doz. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 13c 
for each 3 plants; 27c per dozen 
plants.
