Seeds of Perennials

dense tuft (18 inches in diameter), of fern-like foliage arise in .Juno, a great quan¬ 
tity of round pencil-like flower-stems, 2 feet high, which bear a very largo Daisy-like 
flower, in such shades as delicate pink, bright pink, flesh pink, pure white and 
crimson. One of the showy perennials in Juno and excellent for cutting. Space,

solid foliage and bear, from July till October, bright, golden-yellow single 
flowers, which have a conspicuous purple cone in the center. The flowers 
resemble an ox-eye Daisy. Splendid for cutting or garden effect. Space, 
1 foot . . .Pkt., $ .10 
9190. —Purpurea (Coneflower). A very impressive flower, which creates a bold 
effect in the border. From a large cluster of massive, solid leaves appear 
several very stout straight spikes, which rise to a height of 4 feet, and are 
topped with a giant flower, about 6 inches across, composed of long Daisy¬ 
like petals of antique purplish-rose color, which hang downward, exposing 
to full view an immense cone of brown. The flower gradually fades to a 
more antique shade, but will remain on the plant from July until the end. 
The color of the flower is of an artistic shade often noticed in tapestries.

Salvia (Hardy Sage) 
Nat. Ord. Labiatae 
The family of Hardy Salvia is one of many different forms and types, but all 
are extremely effective and desirable, as some are in shades of blue which can 
hardly be found in any other flower. They are easily grown from seed and are per¬ 
fectly hardy. 
§9192. — Pratensis (New). Plant is quite distinct and shows a robust growth 
spreading fully 18 inches. Its flower-stems attain a height of 2 feet and 
bear long tubes in claret from July until September.Pkt., $ .50 
§9193. — Uliginosa (New). This is the finest Salvia now in existence. The clean 
foliage of the plant attracts one instantly. From the slender growth of foli¬ 
age appear numerous slender stalks which attain the height of 6 to 7 feet, 
which terminate in sprays of exquisite sky-blue flowers, more rich than 
Salvia Azurea and lasting from September until frost. We are the first to 
offer this novelty in seed; our own saving .Pkt., $ .50 
9195. — Azurea Grandiflora. A spectacular showy plant that is at its best during 
July and August, just when good perennials are scarce. From a tuft of 
silvery-gray velvety foliage arise several wiry, straight flower-stems, 3 feot 
high, of which nearly one-half constitutes the flowering part, a solid spike 
of sky-blue Salvia-like blossom. A large group of them is the richest pos¬ 
sible decoration. Space, 1 foot .Pkt., $ .25 
§9196. —Azurea Alba Grandiflora (White Sage). A splendid novelty, absolutely 
hardy, growing 3 to 4 feet tall, with slender, erect spikes of pure white 
flowers during the latter part of August and September.Pkt., $1.00
