ERIGERON glancus. Conies from western North America. It is a line, handsome perennial, appar¬ 
ently quite hardy, and bears plenty of good-sized heads of purple flowers. 6 to 12 inches high. In 
bloom during late summer or autumn. 15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts. c. 
ERYSIMUM ochroleucum. Handsome, bright yellow flowers in early spring, is cts. each. d. 
Seeds, 6 cts. per pkt. 0 
E. pulchellum. A fine yellow-flowered plant, forming dense masses of dark green foliage, and when 
in bloom, covered with bright yellow flowers. 15 cts. each. 
ERYNGIUM Amethystinum. Has heads of amethyst-blue flowers, which are very handsome. It 
is inclined to spread from seed, and, therefore, should not be allowed to scatter its seeds. This is 
easily guarded against by cutting back after blooming season. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. e. 
ERYTHRONIUIVI (Dog’s-tooth Violet). A very attractive class of plants, of which a goodly number 
of the most desirable come from the Pacific coast. However, they are not suited to spring planting, 
and are, therefore, offered only in my autumn supplement. 
EUPHORBIA coroll a tn (Flowering Spurge). Is a native, which grows 2 103 feet high, branching 
and bearing many white bracts around the true flowers, which give it a floriferous appearance, and 
make it one of the most delicate and attractive little natives. For cutting or for decoration in the 
border, it is a useful plant, and can not be spared. 15 cts. each, Sr.25 per doz. b. 
FUNILIA (Plantain Lily). A genus of hardv herbaceous perennials, with good foliage and often hand¬ 
some flowers. Well suited to decorate the lawn, or for planting the 
borders of shrubbery, or in rock-work. Before planting, work the 
ground to a good depth, mixing in a generous supply of well-composted 
manure. 
F. subcordftta (White Plantain Lily). Blooms late in autumn, and 
is valuable on this account. 25 cts. each. 
F., Thomas Hogg:. Is one of the very best, with large, purplish lilac 
flowers, in September. 20 cts. each, 2 for 35 cts. 
F. undulata variegata. Has crinkled foliage, variegated with white 
flowers a little paler than preceding. 25 cts. each. 
G AILIi ARDI A grandiflora. This is a fine, hardy plant, and is admired 
by all. The daisy-shaped flowers are red and yellow inside, of good 
size, and on long stems. A most showy plant. In bloom longer than 
most plants. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. d. Seeds, 8 cts. per pkt. 
GENTIANA (Gentian). This group comprises some of the most admir¬ 
able hardy plants. Most of them require much moisture while in 
growth and on this account they often fail. I have recently been grow¬ 
ing them in moist, shaded situations, in sandy loam, with very good 
results. Though .moisture is necessary, drainage is also needed. They 
like a deep, loamy soil, with stones intermixed. Gentinna .
