Seeds of Perennials 
Aconitum (Monkshood, Helmet Flower or Wolf’s Bane) 
Nat. Ord. Kanunculacea 
Stately plants with lustrous green foliage and fine branching heads of showy 
flowors, invaluable on account of their late flowering season when flowers are scarce. 
They delight in rich, cool soil, and in a semi-shaded position, as under trees. The 
individual flowers resemble a hood, whence they derive their popular name. Excel¬ 
lent for cutting. 
Seeds are very slow in germinating, often requiring months of patience.

Agrostemma (Mullein Pink) 
Nat. Ord. Caryophyllacea 
7800. — Coronaria. The bright, silvery green foliage, covered with a velvet sheen, 
stays close to the ground, and from it emerge numerous straight flower- 
spikes of the same color and texture, gradually branching in all directions, 
and each branch terminates in a flower-shoot, where one flower appears at 
a time. The flower is in form similar to an individual Phlox blossom, and 
its blood-red color is a splendid contrast to the light color of the foliage. 
Flowers in June until the end of July. Height, 2 feet; spread, 18 inches.

Alyssum (Golddust, Rockmadwort) 
Nat. Ord. Crucifera 
7860. — Saxatile Compactum. The most effective border plant for the early spring. 
Long before the Tulips are at their best this gorgeous perennial bedecks 
the landscape with its cover of gold, a color so desired in the early spring 
when Nature shows its real wealth. Even long before the blooms arrive the 
foliage is in appearance, as it remains perfect during the winter, and when 
the snow leaves it, it seems to have been rejuvenated with a fresher coat of 
silvery gray. Closely branching near the ground an individual plant covers 
nearly a square foot. The leaves are lance-like, velvet covered, and from 
each axil of the top branches appear in early May immense clusters of deep 
golden yellow, Alyssum-like flowers, which remain attractive for three weeks. 
When planted at regular intervals all through a border the effect is glorious, 
to say the least. The height of the plant never exceeds 1 foot, and, as it 
likes shade during the summer, there is no fear that larger plants near it 
will smother it. This is a gem for the rockery and places where trees later 
in the season give too much shade. (R Chrome Yellow).Pkt., $ .10
