Delphinum Formosum (Perennial Larkspur). This is certainly one of the hand¬ 
somest and most satisfactory of all the hardy herbaceous plants and should be planted 
extensively, even in the smallest garden. Its long spikes of bright-blue flowers are 
produced continually from June until frost. 25 cents each. 
DIANTHUS (HARDY PINKS). A genus of the highest garden value. 
D. barbatus (Sweet William). Flowers of various colors, and a general favorite. 
25 cents each. 
D. plumaris (Garden or Scotch Pink). Thick tufts of handsome, glaucus-green 
foliage, and handsome, fragrant flowers, on long spikes, in June. 25 cents each. 
D. plumaris alba plena. Double, pure-white form. 25 cents each. 
D. (New, Hardy, Perpetual-flowering Carnation Emperor). Believed to be 
one of the finest and most valuable of its class introduced. In flowers, foliage, and 
fragrance it closely resembles the finest varieties of Carnations; it is a true perennial 
•bloomer, flowering constantly all through the season, from June to December. The 
flowers are of a dark, rich crimson, elegantly fringed and delightfully clove-scented. 
The plant is entirely hardy in all situations, needs no protection, and is sure to bloom 
continuously throughout the season. 25 cents each. 
D. alba fimbriata (White-fringed Pink). A beautiful, pure-white garden pink, 
elegantly fringed ; clove-scented ; very 
double ; blooms profusely ; perfectly 
hardy ; needs no protection in winter; 
very pretty, compact habit; nice for 
edging or border. 25 cents each. 
Dielytra spectabilis (Bleeding 
Heart). A well-known perennial. 
It bears long racemes of graceful, 
heart-shaped, pink flowers. 
25 cents each. 
Erianthus Ravennse. A hardy orna¬ 
mental Grass, which grows from nine 
to twelve feet high, frequently throw¬ 
ing up from thirty to fifty flower 
spikes. It resembles the Pampas 
Grass, but blooms much more abund¬ 
antly. 
25 cents each ; clumps 75 cents each. 
Eulalia gracillima univittata. A grand , hardy , ornamental Grass. Its leaves are 
very narrow and dark green, with silver-white midrib ; and whether used upon the lawn 
or, in combination with other plants, in the garden, it is one of the most decorative in 
its effects. It is also very desirable for vase or pot plants, being even more beautiful 
than Dracena indivisa and much more cheaply grown, as it is perfectly hardy, standing 
our severe winters without protection. One of the most useful and beautiful of all the 
Eulalias. Flowers the same as Eulalia Japonica. Strong clumps 50 cents each. 
E. Japonica. Beautiful, hardy Grass from Japan. Deep-green foliage, and in autumn 
long flower-spikes, surmounted with panicles of purplish flowers, which, when cut and 
dried, assume the form of a “Prince of Wales feather” and are very beautiful. A 
valuable ornamental Grass. 25 cents ; clumps 75 cents each. 
Fine sub-tropical effects in bedding can be produced at little expenditure by using the 
beautiful Reed, Arundo Donax, as a center and bordering it with the wavy ornamental 
Eulalia Grasses.
