Rare Varieties of HARDY ASTERS 
These are among: the showiest of late-flowering hardy plants, 
giving a wealth of bloom when most other hardy plants are past. 
The following varieties are distinct and fine: 
Novae-Anglige, Wra Bowman. Large, rich, rosy purple flowers, 
with a deep golden bronze disc; very showy. 25 cts. each, $2.50 I 
per doz. 
Novae-Angliae, Mrs. J. F. Rayner. A beautiful Michaelmas Daisy, 
covered with large, vivid crimson flowers 2 inches in diameter; 
strong, erect grower. 25 cts. each. $2.50 per doz. 
Novae-Angliae rubra. This grand old New England Aster is really 
one of the best late-flowering plants in cultivation. It is fine for i 
garden, shrubbery, or naturalizing, and is literally covered with j 
showy purplish red flowers in the fall. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per 
doz., $8 per 100. 
Novae-Belgii, Ella. Large, delicate mauve flowers with golden cen¬ 
ter; profuse bloomer; extra fine. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Novae-Belgii, Esme. Large pure white flowers produced in masses; 
fine bushy habit. feet high. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
BLACKBERRY LILY (Pardanthus Sinensis) 
Lily-like flowers of a bright orange color, spotted with red, which 
are succeeded by seeds that resemble blackberries. Very showy and 
desirable. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
CLEMATIS 
PANICULATA (Japanese Virgin’s Bower). This handsome hardy 
climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory climbing flow¬ 
ering plants we know. The plant is of strong, rapid growth, with 
small, dense, cheerful green foliage, giving it a grace and ele¬ 
gance possessed by no other hardy climber, and, even did it not 
flower at all, it would be one of our most desirable vines. The 
flowers appear in the greatest profusion during August, and con¬ 
tinue until late in the fall, are of a white color, and most deli¬ 
ciously fragrant. The plant succeeds in almost any position; not 
only is it well adapted to run up all kinds of supports, but is just 
as useful for planting among rockwork, sloping banks, or, in fact, 
any position where a graceful vine is desired. Strong, two-year- 
old plants, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
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 18 to 24 inches high, and blooms 
in June instead of September. We 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. It is admired by 
all who see it and is certain to become popular. 20 cts. each, 
$2 per doz. 
POMPONE CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These are the small-flowered Chrysanthemums of the old- 
fashioned gardens, and bloom in October and November, after 
almost all flowers are gone. They are showy in the garden 
and effective as cut-flowers, and, being perfectly hardy and of 
easiest culture, can be successfully grown in any garden. We 
offer a fine collection of the best varieties, ranging from white 
to deep crimson. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM LATIFOLIUM 
We have at last succeeded in getting a stock of the true va¬ 
riety of this most beautiful of all the Single Daisies. It is one 
of the most satisfactory hardy plants for the garden or border, 
and produces its large, beautiful single white flowers in the 
greatest profusion. It should be included in every collection 
of hardy plants. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
SHASTA DAISY. This new California Daisy has been intro¬ 
duced with a great hurrah, and may be all tnat is claimed 
for it, but so far in our garden does not appear to be as 
good a* Chrysanthemum latifolium, which it resembles. 
However, it is not fair to judge plants the first season, and 
our plants are small and come from California by mail. 
15 ctf. each, $1.50 per doz 
PRINCESS HENRY. This has larger flowers than C. latifo¬ 
lium, and really is an improvement. 20c. each, $2 per doz.
