Walled Garden of Hardy Plants (From English "Country IJfe") 
Some Notable Hardy Plants 
Elsewhere will be found a very complete list of hardy plants, but the following varieties are especially desirable, and I am in position 
to furnish them in quantity at very low prices. 
CLEMATIS 
AQUILEGIAS 
All of the single long-spurred Aquilegias, or Columbines, are ex¬ 
tremely beautiful, and a collection of them should be a feature in 
every garden. Foremost among these choice plants is our native 
Aquilegias. If these and other choice hardy plants were as well 
known as bedding plants, the day of geraniums, coleus and other 
commonplace plants would soon be over. The flowers of these 
Aquilegias are most lovely and delicate, ranging from white to 
crimson, including shades of blue and yellow. Assorted varieties, 15 
cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $9 per 100. For complete list of varieties 
see general list of hardy plants. 
Chrysanthemum latifolium 
RECTA. This charming plant is almost unknown in this 
country, although a great favorite in England for a great 
many years. This Clematis has flowers almost identical with 
the popular Clematis paniculata, but instead of being a 
climber it is a dwarf herbaceous plant, growing about 18 to 
24 inches high, and blooms in June instead of September. I 
have known and admired the plant for several years, but until 
recently have never been able to secure sufficient stock of 
it to offer for sale. Price, 20 cts. each, $2 per dozen. 
PANICULATA (Japanese Virgin’s Bower). This handsome 
hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory 
climbing flowering plants we know. The plant is of strong, 
rapid growth, with small, dense, cheerful green foliage, 
giving it a grace and elegance possessed by no other hardy 
climber, and, even did it not flower at all, it would be one of 
our most desirable vines. The flowers appear in the greatest 
profusion during August, and continue until late in the fall, 
are of a white color and most deliciously fragrant. The plant 
succeeds in almost any position; not only is it well adapted 
to run up all kinds of supports, but is just as useful for 
planting among rock-work, sloping banks, or, in fact, any 
position where a graceful vine is desired. Strong two-year- 
old plants, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
BLACKBERRY LILY (Pardanthus Sinensis) 
Lily-like flowers of a bright orange color, spotted with red, which 
are succeeded by seeds that resemble blackberries. Very showy and 
desirable. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM LATIFOLIUM 
1 have at last succeeded in getting a stock of the true variety of 
this most beautiful of all the single Daisies. It is one of the most 
satisfactory hardy plants for the garden or border, and produces its 
large, beautiful single white flowers in the greatest profusion. It 
should be included in every collection of hardy plants. 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
