Complete List of Perennial Flowers from Seed 
Acanthus (Bear’s Breech) 
Nat. Ord. Acanthacea 
A most decorative and stately plant. Its base is formed of gigantic massive 
leaves 2 feet long and 1 foot wide, deeply toothed and loped, and from its center 
rise upward erect growing numerous single massive spikes 3 to 4 feet long, which 
are completely and closely dressed with flowers resembling Snapdragons. The plants 
are mostly used for picturesque effects in isolated positions on lawns or sub-tropical 
beds. Flowering season August to September. The plant has been given the popu¬ 
lar name of Acanthus of Architecture, because the form of the flower has been used 
as the decorative scheme or ornamentations for Corinthian columns.

Achillea (Milfoil or Yarrow) 
Nat. Ord. Compositao 
Most desirable on account of its graceful habit of growth, its effective blooming 
and its prolonged flowering season, extending through the entire midsummer and 
often late into the fall. Especially useful as a cut flower. 
7000. — Ageratum. Numerous straight stems rise from the ground to a height of 
2 feet, being thickly dressed with fern-liko foliage and crowned with flat 
umbels of golden-yellow flowers during July and August. Space, 12 inches. 
Pkt., $ .10 
7010. — Ptarmica 11. pi. The Pearl. The plants grow fully 2% feet high and branch 
profusely, so that at least 2 feet of space must be given for each plant. 
These plants should be staked to look neat. The strain we offer has flowers 
which are completely double, so that no center is visible. Most varieties of¬ 
fered under this name show an open center, which makes the flower unat¬ 
tractive and unclean in appearance the moment they pass their prime of life. 
Flowering season August to September. Plants form dense clusters of slen¬ 
der stems with narrow foliage terminating in dense heads of perfect little 
double flowers of the purest white. An ideal jpaterial for cutting or for effect 
in the border.Pkt., $ .25
