Some Notable Hardy Plants 
Elsewhere will be found a very complete list of hardy plants, but the following; varieties are especially desirable and w r e are in a position 
to furnish them in quantity at very low prices. 
ANEMONE PENNSYLVANICA 
This fine native wild (lower would sell by the thousands if it were 
well known, for it is really one of the most desirable of hardy plants, 
and especially so when naturalized in large masses. It is of the 
easiest culture, requiring no attention after planting, and increases 
with great rapidity, so that a large space of ground can soon be cov 
ered with it. It grows about 12 inches high, has good foliage 
throughout the season, and in June is covered with charming white, 
single flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7 per 100. 
ARABIS (Rock-Cress) 
Alpina. One of the most desirable of tbe very early spring-llowering 
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 compacta nana. A distinct and pretty dwarf form of the 
above. 
05 cts. each, Si.50 per doz. 
ARENARIA BALEARICA 
( Sandwort) 
Close growing evergreen plants, forming dense carpets 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. 
AQUILEGIAS 
All of the single long-spurred Aquilegias, or Columbines, are 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 
j commonplace plants would soon be over. The flowers of these Aqui¬ 
legias are most lovely and delicate, ranging from white to crimson, 
including 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. 
CLEMATIS 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 . 
hut instead of being a climber it is a dwarf herbaceous plant, grow¬ 
ing about IS to 24 inches high, and blooms in June instead of Sep¬ 
tember. 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. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
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 lias been 
taken by plants of far less beauty. 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 wh.ere new 
and improved varieties are constantly being produced. Fine large 
plants, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100. 
SHASTA DAISY 
This new California Daisy has been introduced with a great hur¬ 
rah, 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 per doz.
