perennial Plants 
ANEMONE JAPONICA. 
Japanese Windflower. 
These are among the most beautiful and valuable Hardy 
Perennials; highly ornamental in foliage and blooming 
continuously and freely from August until frost. The 
flowers are large, exceedingly chaste and pure in color, 
on long stems and wonderfully graceful; surpassing even 
in refined beauty the Cosmos and unsurpassed for cutting. 
Although the Japanese Anemones are hardy, it is well to 
give them a slight protection in winter, as they are some¬ 
times damaged by cold in severe winters when unpro¬ 
tected.

of two distinct sets of petals and are of a most beautiful 
satiny-rose color.

white, with overlapping petals and with extra tall, stiff 
stems. A most profuse bloomer.

ASCLEPIAS. 
TUBEROSA. Butterfly Flower. (2 feet.)—Although 
of American origin and occasionally to be found in fields

America. It forms fleshy roots and is exceedingly hardy;
