PERENNIAL FLOWERING PLANTS 
Arenaria 
(SANDWORT) 
t MONTANA. A pretty creeping moss-like plant 
covered with tiny white flowers. The foliage is a 
bright green. Especially adapted to planting be¬ 
tween stepping stones or to make a carpet of 
green like a lawn. It requires no cutting to keep 
it low. In flat boxes which can be divided into 
about a hundred pieces, $2.00 per flat. 
Armeria 
(THRIFT, OR SEA PINK) 
MARITIMA. An attractive dwarf border plant 
with tufted grass-like foliage above which are 
borne innumerable rose-pink flowers clustered in 
small round heads, useful in the rockery. 2(4- 
inch pots, 10c. 
Begonia 
The Semperflorens or Everblooming type 
of Begonia is without an equal for bedding, 
low borders and edging. The flowers are 
of the brightest colors and are borne in 
great profusion continuously. While they 
succeed admirably in the full sunshine in 
most localities their greatest value is to 
give color to the shady beds and marginal 
plantings. 
The Gracilis type has more slender stems 
and does not usually grow as tall as the 
typical Semperflorens. 
SEMPERFLORENS 
ALBERT MARTIN. Bright carmine-red, very 
large flowers. Plant tall and strong growing. 
CHRISTMAS CHEER. Very fine brilliant scarlet. 
GRACILIS TYPE 
CARMEN. (New). Bright rose flowers carried 
in clusters well above the deep bronzy purple 
leaves, which are so beautiful to warrant grow¬ 
ing for foliage alone. Extremely free flowering, 
the blossoms contrasting beautifully with the 
foliage. An outstanding variety for pot plants 
or for group planting. 
LUMINOSA. The most popular red-flowering 
variety for borders. Bronze foliage. 
PRIMA DONNA. Brilliant clear pink shading to 
rose. Strong growing. 10-14 inches. 
SEA SHELL. Elegant flowers of pure white with 
vivid edging of rose-pink. Medium height, and

light green foliage. The unopened buds have a 
tint of pink when grown outside in sun. 
Price of any of the above Begonias: 2 (4-inch 
pots 10c; 3-inch pots 20c; 4-inch pots 35c each.

fully grown pot-plants for in¬
