WALLED GARDEN OF HARDY PLANTS (From English •• Country Life") 
Some Notable Hardy Plants 
Elsewhere will l>e found a very complete list of hardy plants, but the following varieties are especially desirable, and I am in a position 
to furnish them m quantity at very low prices. 
ARENARIA BALEARICA 
(Sandwort) 
Close-growing evergreen plants, forming dense car¬ 
pets of verdure, and especially desirable for rockwork. 
Flowers pure white, prettily studding the dense moss¬ 
like foliage during the spring months. This plant will 
grow in very moist and shady locations. 15 cts. each. 
$1.50 per doz., $8 per 100. 
ARMERIA (Thrift) 
Attractive dwarf plants that will succed in any soil, 
forming evergreen tufts of bright green foliage, from 
which innumerable dowers appear in dense heads, on 
stiff, wiry stems about 9 inches high. They flower more 
or less continuously from early spring until late in the 
fall. Very effective in the rockery and indispensable in 
the border. 
Formosa. Pink. 
Cephalotus. Bright rosy pink flowers. 
15 cts, each, $1.50 per doz. 
AQUILEGIAS 
All of the single long-spurred Aquilegias, or Columbines, arc ex¬ 
tremely beautiful, and a collection of them should be a feature in 
every garden. Foremost among these choice plants are 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 Aqui¬ 
legias are most lovely and delicate, ranging from white to crimson, in¬ 
cluding 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. 
ARABIS (Rock-Cress) 
Alpina, One of the most desirable of the very early spring-flowering 
plants that is especially adapted for the rock-garden, but which 
succeeds equally well in the border, where it forms a 
dense carpet, which is completely covered early in the 
season with pure white flowers. 
Alpina compacts nana. A distinct and pretty dwarf form 
of the above. 
AK.MERIA 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per IOO
