PYRETHRUMS 
The Pyrethrums are so simply and easily cultivated that they may 
be recommended to all who possess a garden, whether small or large. 
They are perfectly hardy and absolutely invaluable for cut-flowers 
through the summer and autumn months. The flowers are bright 
and elegantly borne on long stems, most convenient for vase decora- 1 
tion. In form the double varieties are somewhat aster- or chrysan- 1 
themum-like, and as their chief beauty is in the months of May and 
June, they may well be designated Spring Chrysanthemums, possessing 
the advantage over the chrysanthemums of being able to withstand 
the severest winter without protection. The single-flowered varieties 
are veritable colored marguerites and possess a range of color and | 
hardiness that marguerites might envy in vain. Nothing can surpass ; 
the Pyrethrum for profusion of flowers in the season; flowers sue- i 
ceed flowers without stint, and the blossoms are not injured by storm 
or sun. Their position should be the border or in beds. The plants 
may, with advantage, be cut down after June, which will keep up a 
greater succession of bloom through the autumn. Pyrethrums grow 
freely in any ordinary garden soil: a good rich loam suits them per¬ 
haps best, and in order to secure size, brilliancy and number of 
flowers, plenty of ordinary well-rotted manure may be added to well- 
trenched, well-drained soil, and plenty of water may be given when 
they are in bud in the dry summer weather. A mulching may be ap¬ 
plied in dry localities with advantage. The older varieties have been 
greatly improved upon during the past ten or fifteen years, which is ; 
the period during which Kelway & Son have made them a specialty, j 
and the refined shape and brilliant or soft shades of the newer sorts , 
have caused the Pyrethrum to become deservedly popular. I offer a 
splendid lot of plants of the choicest single varieties grown from 
Kelway’s famous strains. 
All Colors Mixed. 20 cts. each, $1.75 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Selected Varieties in Separate Colors : Crimsons, whites, light 
pinks, deep pinks. 25 cts. each, $2.25 per doz., $13 per 100. 
RUDBECKIA (“Golden Glow”) 
This hardy plant of recent introduction is entitled to rank with 
single hollyhocks for picturesqueness. In good soil it grows from 8 
to 10 feet high, branches freely, and for two months in midsummer 
is literally covered with its large bright yellow double flowers. As a 
garden or lawn plant it is extremely decorative, and equally so as a 
cut-flower, and very lasting. I have used this a great deal in ray 
landscape work, and have found a large circular group of it sur¬ 
rounded by the dwarfer Radbeekia speciosa extremely effective. 15 
cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100. 
SPIRAEA ARUNCUS KNEIFFI 
A new variety that is entirely distinct from and superior to all 
existing kinds. It is of bold, yet graceful habit, attaining a height 
of 3 to 4 feet, with finely divided fern-like foliage, and a inass of 
pure white flowers, which are borne in graceful feathery sprays. A 
valuable addition to hardy border plants and a most desirable summer 
cut-flower. 50 cts. each. 
THALICTRUM AQUILEGIFOLIUM 
This is undoubtedly one of the most desirable hardy plants in cul¬ 
tivation. Its fine habit, beautiful foliage and masses of lovely 
flowers, varying from white to purple through all intermediate shades, 
make it one of the most handsome things that can be planted. Height 
2 to 3 feet; blooming in May and June. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., 
$10 per 100. 
VIOLA CORNUTA 
These plants are sometimes known as Horned Pansies. They are 
the most satisfactory of the violet family, perfectly hardy; they pro¬ 
duce their beautiful purple or white flowers in the greatest profusion 
early in the spring, sometimes in March and continue in bloom until 
extremely hot summer weather comes on. The flowers are as large 
as small pansies and are thrown well above the foliage, which is 
neat, compact and beautiful.
