iy Peonies, German Iris, and some of the choice 
^ Long-spurred Columbines. 
For mid-summer —Delphiniums in choice hybrids 
and named kinds, the stately Anchusas, Shasta 
Daisies, Japanese Iris, Pyrethrum, the new Astilbe 
Arendsi type in fine varieties, Veronicas, and 
Phloxes. 
For early fall —Phlox in handsome varieties, Hele-

Phloxes making their second display.
