Polyanthus, or Cowslip. 
Foxglove - Digitalis 
In England the Foxglove grows 
wild, but, nothwithstandlng this, 
It Is a great garden favorite, as 
it well deserves to be. For 
stately and picturesque beauty it 
is not to be surpassed and, plant¬ 
ed in masses in the garden among 
shrubs or naturalized on the edge 
of woods, in the orchard or 
along brooks, It is extremely 
effective and satisfactory. Strict¬ 
ly speaking, it is a biennial, but, 
as it renews Itself from self- 
sown seed, it may be treated as 
a perennial. Mr. Falconer has 
naturalized thousands of Fox¬ 
gloves In Schenley Park, and 
nothing he has planted attracts 
more attention and admiration. 
Planted in the fall, Foxgloves will 
bloom well the following season. I offer a line lot of strong 
plants, grown from the best strains obtainable in Europe.

HARDY PLANTS—Continued 
Polyanthus, or Cowslip 
This charming spring-blooming plant belongs to the Primrose 
ramily, the hardy varieties of which are so very popular in England, 
but are rarely seen in this country, owing partly to an impression 
that they cannot be grown In this climate. This is a mistake, as 
they do very W'ell here. For the front of the borders and shrub¬ 
bery, for spring bedding, and for naturalizing in moist and partly 
shaded places nothing can be liner. The coloring in the flowers is 
especially rich and line. At this writing we have a long border 
of these plants In bloom in our garden, and nothing gives us 
greater pleasure. They are so charming in habit, rich and varied 
in coloring, and so early to bloom, coming with the spring-flower¬ 
ing bulbs, that nothing can be more acceptable. We use them 
rreely for decorating the dining-table and library windows, taking 
plants up from the border and putting them in fern-dishes and 
pots, where they go on blooming as if they had never been dis¬ 
turbed. Their hardiness has been pretty well settled by the 
severe winter or 1911 and 1912. The minimum temperature at 
our country place was 24 degrees below zero. Not a single Poly¬ 
anthus was injured, and they were planted in wet soil at that. 
Large-flowered White. An improved variety with very large 
flowers; very line. 20c each; $1.75 per 12; $12.00 per 100. 
Large flowered, mixed, $1.76 per 12; $12.00 per 100. 
Dianthus Barbatus - Sweet William 
That old-fashioned favorite, the Sweet William, has almost dis¬ 
appeared from our gardens; more’s the pity, for its place has 
been taken by plants of far less beauty. The Sweet William is a 
line old plant which produces great masses of bloom of extremely 
rich and varied colors. The flowers are very lasting and line 
for cutting. The plants olTered are grown from the finest strains 
to be obtained in England. We offer them In Pink, White, Crimson, 
Scarlet or Mixed Colors. Fine, large plants, 20c each; $2.00 per 
12; $13.00 per 100. 
purpurea alba. White form of purpurea 
Foxglove—Digitalis.
