POMPON E OH K V SANTHEM UMS 
Rare Varieties of HARDY ASTERS 
POMPONE CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These are the small-flowered Chrysanthemums of the old-fash¬ 
ioned 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 suc¬ 
cessfully 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. 
LARGE-FLOWERED CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
I have collected from farm gardens some of the old-fashioned 
Chrysanthemums which are really hardy and which bloom in Octo¬ 
ber and November, after all other outdoor flowers are gone. I have 
seen these Chrysanthemums in bloom when the snow was on the 
ground, and old established beds of them are wonderfully showy. 
They grow 3 to 4 feet high, and when in bloom are a perfect mass of 
flowers. I offer three large-flowered varieties—White, Pink and 
Yellow. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100 
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. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM LATIFOLIUM 
We have at last succeeded in getting a stock of the true 
variety 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 col¬ 
lection of hardy plants. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
SHASTA DAISY. This new California Daisy lias been intro¬ 
duced with a great hurrah, and may be all that is claimed 
for it, but so far in our 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, and 
our plants are small and come from California by mail. 15 
cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
PRINCESS HENRY. This has larger flowers than C. lati¬ 
folium, and really is an improvement. 20c. each, $2 per doz. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM LATIFOLIUM 
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: 
Novge-Anglise, Wm. Bowman. Large, rich, rosy purple flowers, 
with a deep golden bronze disc; very showy. 25 cts. each, $2.50 
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 
garden, shrubbery or naturalizing, and is literally covered with 
showy purplish red flowers in the fall. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., 
$8 per 100. 
Novi - Belgii, Ella. Large, delicate-mauve flowers with golden cen¬ 
ter; profuse bloomer; extra tine. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Novi - Belgii, Esme. Large pure white flowers produced in masses; 
fine bushy habit. feet high. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
DICTAMNUS (Gas Plant) 
A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 2}^ feet in 
height, having fragrant foliage and spikes of curious flowers 
during June and July, giving off during hot weather a fra¬ 
grant volatile oil, which ignites when a match is applied to 
it. This is one of the most desirable of hardy plants, but 
good plants of it have always been very scarce. I have suc¬ 
ceeded in getting a fine lot of extra strong plants. 
Fraxinella. Showy rosy pink flowers, with deeper veins. 
Fraxinella alba. Pure white. 
30 cts. each, S3 per doz.; smaller plants, 20 cts. each, $2 
per doz.
