SPECIAL AND IMPORT PRICES FOR SPRING OF 1903 
SHASTA DAISY 
This new Californian Daisy has been introduced with a great 
hurrah and may be all that is claimed for it, but so far in my garden 
does not appear to be as good as Chrysanthemum latifolium , which it 
resembles. However, it is not fair to judge plants the first season 
aud my plants are small and came from California by mail. 20c. each. 
DIANTHUS BARBATUS (Sweet William) 
That old-fashioned favorite, the Sweet William, has almost disap¬ 
peared from our gardens, more’s the pity, for its place has been taken 
by plants of far less beauty. I am glad to note the rapidly waning 
popularity of the commonplace and vulgar bedding plants, and when 
they are entirely discarded, as they surely will he, and hardy plants 
take their place, our gardens will again have the charm of loveliness 
and the individual picturesqueness of former days. The Sweet 
William is a fine old plant which produces great masses of bloom of 
extremely rich and varied colors. The flowers are very lasting and 
fine for cutting. The plants offered are grown from the finest strain 
to be obtained in England, where hardy plants are universally grown 
and where new and improved varieties are constantly being produced. 
Fine large plants, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100. 
EPIMEDIUM (Barren-Wort) 
A genus of dwarf-growing plants with leathery foliage and panicles 
of lovely white, yellow and lilac-colored flowers. The foliage of all 
the varieties offered below assume the most beautiful tints of color 
in autumn. 
Lllacea. Beautiful lilac. I Nlveum. Pure white. 
Muschianum, Creamy white. I Sulphureum. Light yellow. 
Any of the above four varieties, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Clematis paniculata (See preceding page) 
Foxglove (From the “English Flower Garden") 
FESTUCA GLAUCA 
A dwarf grass with very distinct foliage. Does not grow over 
8 or 10 inches high, and is very effective. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
FOXGLOVE (Digitalis) 
In England the Foxglove grows wild, but, notwithstanding this, it 
is a great garden favorite, as it well deserves to be. For stately and 
picturesque beauty it is not to be surpassed, and planted in masses 
in the garden among shrubs or naturalized on the edge of woods, in 
the orchard or along brooks, it is extremely effective and satisfactory. 
Strictly speaking, it is a biennial, but as it renews itself from self- 
sown seed, it may be treated as a perennial. Mr. Falconer lias 
naturalized thousands of Foxgloves in Schenley Park, and nothing 
he has planted attracts more attention and admiration. Planted in 
the fall, Foxgloves will bloom well the following season. I offer a. 
fine lot of strong plants grown from the best strains obtainable in 
Europe. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100. 
GALEGA COMPACTA, “SNOWBALL” 
Covered in summer with racemes of small, white, pea-shaped 
blossoms, greatly valued for cutting. This novelty is far in ad¬ 
vance of the old G. officinalis type, and should have a place in all 
hardy borders and where cut-flowers are in demand. .'10 cts. each, 
$5 per doz.
