weather. A mulching may be applied in dry localities with advantage. The older varieties have been greatly improved 
upon during the past 10 or 15 years, which is the period during which Kelway & Son have made them a specialty, and the 
relined 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 strain, 20 cents each: SI.75 per doz :

RUDBECKIA—•“ Golden Glow.” 
This hardy plant of recent introduction is 
entitled to rank with single Hollyhock for pic¬ 
turesqueness. In good soil it grows from 8 to 10 
feet high, branches freely, and for two months 
in mid-summer 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 is very lasting. I 
have used this a great deal in my landscape 
work, and have found a large circular group of 
it surrounded by the dwarfer Rudbeckia Spe- 
ciosa extremely effective. 15 cents each; $1.50 
per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
CHRYSANTHEMUn LATIFOLIUM. 
I 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 pro¬ 
duces its large beautiful single white flowers in 
the greatest profusion. It should be included 
in every collection of hardy plants. 15 cents 
each; $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100. 
TUFTED PANSIES OR BEDDING 
VIOLAS. 
TUFTED PANSIES OR ABEDDINQ VIOLS. 
The tufted pansies are hybrids of pansies and 
viola comuta, and are quite distinct from pansies 
in habit and coloring, and, I think, far more 
beautiful. The flowers are smaller, but unique 
in coloring, and the plants spread from the 
roots like a violet, making them true perennials. They are 
perfectly hardy, enduring the extreme cold weather of last 
winter in an open border without protection. They are im¬ 
mensely popular in England and Scotland, where they are 
generally used for bedding and table decorations, and noth¬ 
ing can be more charming for either purpose. I have always 
admired these flowers in England, but was not certain that 
they would thrive in this climate, but after testing them 
in my garden I am convinced that they will do as well 
here as they do abroad. I have had a splendid lot of plants 
grown from the best collection in Scotland. They can be 
planted in the summer, fall or spring. Price, 15 cents each; 
$1.00 per dozen; $0.00 per hundred. 
PENSTEMON TORREYI. 
I Ins very fine hardy plant is but little known, lmt is one 
of t he really good things that should be in every garden. 
I he plant grows from four to six feet high, and is covered 
with its showy crimson flowers all through the summer. 15 
cents each; $1.25 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
POLYANTHUS, OR COWSLIP. 
This charming spring blooming plant belongs to the 
1 rim rose family, the hardy varieties of which are so very 
popular m England, but are rarely seen in this country 
owing partly to an impression that they cannot be grown m 
this climate. This is a mistake, as they do very 
well here. For the front of borders and shrub¬ 
bery, for spring bedding, and for naturalizing 
in moist and partially shaded places, nothing 
can be finer. The coloring in the flowers is 
especially rich and fine. 
At this writing I have a long border of these 
plants in bloom in my garden, and nothing gives 
nie greater pleasure. They are so charming in 
habit, rich and varied in coloring, and so early 
to bloom, coming with the spring flowering 
bulbs, that nothing can be more acceptable. I 
use them freely 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 disturbed. Their hardiness has been pretty 
well settled by the severe winter of 1898-99. The 
minimum temperature at my country place was 
twenty-four degrees below zero. Not a single 
Polyanthus was injured, and they were planted 
in wet soil at that. Price, 15 cents each; $1.00 
per dozen; $6.00 per hundred.
