ELLIOTT NURSERY COMPANY, PITTSBURG. PA. 
POLYGONUM CUSPIDATUM 
A magnificent plant for producing bold masses of foliage, growing 
8 feet high in good soil. Numerous fragrant white spirea-like flowers 
issue from the axils of the leaves. A stately plant for large flower- 
borders, shrubberies, wild gardens, banks of streams and ponds and for 
growing beneath large trees. 15 cts. each, $1 50 per doz., $8 per 100. 
Pyrethrums grow freely in any ordinary garden soil; a good rich loam 
suits them, perhaps, 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 applied 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, and the refined shape and brilliant or soft shades of the 
newer sorts have caused the Pyrethrum to become deservedly popu¬ 
lar. We 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. 
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. We have used this a great deal in our 
landscape work, and have found a large circular group of it sur¬ 
rounded by the dwarfer Mudbeckia speciosa extremely effective. 
15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100. 
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 
.‘1 feet; blooms in May and dune. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 
per 100. 
ACTiEA JAPONICA 
(Japanese Baneberry) 
A Japanese introduction, producing dense spikes, 30 inches high, 
of white flowers not unlike our native Baneberry, which flowers ill 
June; but, unlike it, this new variety blooms in September, lasting 
well through October, a time when (lowers of all kinds are scarce in 
the garden. Its graceful spikes are line for cutting, and last in per¬ 
fection a long time. It is perfectly hardy. 50 cts.

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 deco¬ 
ration. In form the double varieties are somewhat aster- or chrys¬ 
anthemum-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-flow¬ 
ered varieties are veritable colored marguerites and possess a range 
of color and hardiness that marguerites might envy in vain. Noth¬ 
ing can surpass the Pyrethrum for profusion of flowers in the season: 
flowers succeed flowers without stint, and the blossoms are not in¬ 
jured by storm or sun. Their position should be in 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. 
MONARDA, “CAMBRIDGE SCARLET” 
This new Bergamot is a distinct improvement on the popular 
Monarda didyma. The color is much more brilliant, and it is really 
one of the showiest summer-blooming hardy plants. It grows 2 to 3 
feet high, and massed in a border it is extremely effective for a long 
season. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
GENISTA SCOPARIA ELATIOR 
This lovely " Broom ” has proven perfectly hardy in our nursery. 
Its beautiful bright yellow flowers are as fine as any of the green¬ 
house varieties. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
