Seeds of Perennials 
Anchusa (Alkanet-Sea Bugloss) 
Nat. Ord. Boraginacea 
Tlie newest forms of this flower, of which we offer several below, created quite 
a sensation when they first appeared a few years ago, as they have no resemblance 
to their parents. Thoy appear like knights among pigmies. The foliage alone de¬ 
notes nobleness, with an attractive cleanliness, and when in bloom their grandeur is 
inspiring. If the flower-spikes are cut back after their glory has passed a new crop 
of flowers invariably appears later in the season. 
7900. Italica Dropmore Variety. The gigantic, heavy, fleshy leaves, which 
cluster around a crown, are hairy on the reverse side and glossy, deep green 
on the surface. From the center of the plant appears, about the middle of 
June, a robust flower-spike, which grows to a height of 4 feet, and which 
sends out its branches in all directions, giving the flowering part a pyramid 
form, very similar to a spruce. Each side shoot terminates in loose clusters 
of giant Forget-me-not like flowers of a deep gentian blue color. The plant 
reaches its zenith about the end of Juno and remains attractive through 
July. If the flower-spike is cut back as soon as the flowers fade several 
smaller spikes will apear in August, and will last all through fall. Space, 
3 feet. The plants should be staked during the flowering season. . . Pkt., $ .25 
§7910. Opal(New). Exactly like above, but having flowers of a brighter opal blue.

with gigantic flowers of a rich gentian blue...Pkt., $ .50 
Anemone Pulsatilla (The Paspuale Flower) 
Nat. Ord. Ranunculacea 
These spring flowering Anemones are natives of the woods and for this reason 
succeed well in moist and shady situations. Notwithstanding this fact, they flourish 
even as well or better in the open sunshine. Several leaves of velvety texture similar 
to all Anemones form the structure of the plant and through them rise to our view 
open trusses of silky single flowers after the first warm, s#nny day in early spring. 
Its great attraction is that leaves as well as flowers are covered with long, silken 
hairs. Height, % foot. Allow 6 inches space.
