HELIOPSIS PITCHER I ANUS. 
A desirable, hardy herbaceous plant, growing from 2 to 3 
feet high, and a perpetual bloomer, beginning to flower early 
in the'season, and continuing in bloom the entire summer. 
The flowers are of a beautiful deep golden-yellow color, 
about two inches in diameter, of very thick texture, and are 
very graceful for cutting. 15 cents each ; $1.25 per doz.; 
$3.00 per 100 . 
PHLOX D1VARICATA CANADENSIS. 
One of our native varieties that is but rarely met with, and 
which has been introduced in Europe the past few years as 
a'novelty. A plant that is certain to meet with much favor 
when better known, as nothing can produce such a cheerful 
corner in the garden in the very early spring, frequently 
beginning to bloom early in April, it continues until about 
the middle of June, with large bright lilac-colored flowers, 
which arc produced on stems about 10 inches high, in large 
showy heads, and are very fragrant. 10 cents each; $ 1.00 
per dozen ; $ 6.00 per 100 . 
VIOLA CORNUTA. 
These plants are sometimes known as Horned Pansies. 
They are the most satisfactory of the violet family, perfectly 
hardy ; they produce 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.

CREEPING PHLOXES. 
The creeping Phloxes are among the 
most charming of hardy plants. They 
cover the ground with a mat of ever¬ 
green foliage at all times and during 
the month of May make a most beau¬ 
tiful carpet of white or pink flowers. 
The bloom is so dense that the foliage 
is entirely hidden. This Phlox blooms 
again in the fall, but not so freely. It 
is very useful for border edging, rock 
work or covering bare banks.

HARDY ASTERS. 
Especial attention is directed to the value of Hardy Asters, 
both for garden and naturalizing. They are of the easiest 
culture, and make a wonderful show of bloom in late sum¬ 
mer and fall w r hen very few other things are in bloom. I 
offer a splendid collection at $1.50 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 
HELIANTHUS LOETIFLORUS.

flowers ; flowers 3 inches in diameter and freely produced. 
Plant grows 3 to 4 feet high and spreads rapidly. Fine for 
cutting, for the border and for planting among shrubs. 15 
cents each ; $1.25 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 
CLEMATIS 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 15 to 18 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, 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen. 
LYCHNIS FLOS CUCULI. 
This is one of the most charming dwarf hardy plants in 
cultivation. It is literally covered in May and June with its 
lovely pink flowers, and if the old flower heads are cut off 
will bloom again freely in September. A large bed should 
be included in every garden. Fine for cut flowers; $1.50 
per dozen ; $ 8.00 per 100 .
