I-IARDY PLANTS. FOR FALL PLANTING 
SHASTA DAISY 
One inch less than full diameter 
GOLD FLOWER 
Hypericum Moserianum. Of a low, spreading, branching 
growth, with handsome leaves, the upper side much darker 
than the lower. As a pot plant it is very handsome with 
its clean, dark foliage as a background for the flowers— 
great, showy, yellow disks, as brilliant in their reflection 
as burnished gold. The plant should be given a place in 
a well-drained border, and receive good care. On the 
approach of winter give it a covering of leaves to conserve 
its vigor, that it may make a strong growth at the start in 
spring. Extra strong plants, 25 cents ; two for 40 cents. 
HELIANTHUS 
HARDY SUNFLOWERS 
These varieties of Hclianthus arc perfectly hardy in this 
locality, but in colder regions a protection of coarse litter will 
be required. The plants attain a height of about four feet, and 
in their blooming season, in August and September, they are 
nearly covered with bright golden yellow double flowers, about 
the size of a Dahlia; they are very desirable for cutting. Each 
15 cents; dozen, $1.50. 
Helianthus lataefrons. Plant of distinct habit, forming a 
pyramid cf lovely flowers and foliage. Flowers golden 
yellow, single. 
Maximilliana. Grows from five to seven feet high; flow¬ 
ers produced in long graceful sprays of golden yellow. 
Multiflorus plcnus. Yellow flowers, perfectly formed. 
Soliel d’Or. The Golden Quilled Sunflower; similar to 
the above variety, except that the petals are quilled like 
some of our finest Dahlias.

perpetual bloomer. Flowers deep golden yellow, two inches 
across. Very fine for cutting. Each 15 cents; two for 25 cents.

to August. In color it varies from coral-red to crimson.

GEUM ATROSANGUINEUM. Produces a mass of scarlet 
flowers during the summer and fall months Each 15 cents. 
SHASTA DAISY 
The Shasta Daisy is one of the most marvelous 
productions in the flower line that has ever been 
brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the 
first of a new type, which has been obtained by 
hybridization and rigid selection through a series 
of years. Its first qualification is extreme hardi¬ 
ness. Second, it is perennial, blooming better 
and more abundantly each season. Third, it can 
be multiplied rapidly by simple division, and it is 
not particular as to soil. Fourth, it blooms for 
several months. Fifth, the flowers are extremely 
large and graceful, averaging about four inches in 
diameter, with petals of the purest glistening 
whiteness, and are borne on single, long, stiff, wiry 
stems. Sixth, the blooms when cut remain per¬ 
fectly fresh and in good condition for two weeks 
or more. No other flower can compare with it in 
usefulness. Each 15 cents. 
DELPHINIUM 
Delphiniums or Larkspurs are valuable plants. 
Formosum is a most brilliant dark blue, the finest 
blue flower known among our hardy plants. 
Delphinium formosum. Dark blue. Each 
15 cents. 
Bee Larkspur. Interesting for the manner in 
which the petals are folded up in the center of 
each flower, so as to resemble a bee. Flowers 
of lighter shade than Delphinium formosum. 
Each 15 cents.

shaped, deep pink flowers in a graceful drooping raceme a

which under some conditions may be lighted when a match is 
applied to it. Two colors. White and Red. Plants, each 25 
cents ; three for 60 cents. 
EULALIA 
Eulalia Japonica variegata. This variety, except that 
the variegation of the leaf is lengthwise, is very similar in 
style and habit of growth to E. Japonica zebrina, and it 
forms so beautiful and striking a contrast to that variety 
as to make them desirable companion plants. 
Japonica zebrina. This plant is unlike most variegated 
plants, as its stripe or marking is across the leaf instead 
of lengthwise. In fall it bears large tassel-like plumes.

white midrib.
