FOXGLOVE (Digitalis) 
In England the Foxglove grows wild, but, notwithstanding this, it 
is a groat 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 has natu¬ 
ralized 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. 
IMPROVED GAILLARDIAS 
I consider the Gaitlardia one of the most beautiful and desirable 
hardy plants in cultivation, and have had a large stock of Kelway's 
famous strain grown for my customers. I offer these plants for less 
than they have ever been sold, either in this country or Europe. 
Though such an ornamental addition to the herbaceous border, the 
perennial Gaillardia is content with extremely simple treatment. Dig 
the soil deeply and enrich with well-rotted manure. We recommend 
the Gaillardia for bedding purposes ns well as for borders. Give a 
moderate amount of room and peg down, and a grand effect is to be 
obtained. Everyone will have noticed how grandly Gaillardias have 
thriven through the recent drought; they seem hardly to need water, 
hut we recommend watering liberally to insure the finest flowers. 
The Gaillardia which Kelway & Son have been so successful in im¬ 
proving and popularizing is', of course, simply invaluable as a cut- 
flower, on account of its being so lasting when gathered and so 
brilliant and beautiful. The gay blossoms are obtainable in perpetual 
profusion from June to November, and the greater the drought and 
scarcity of other flowers the more the utility of the perennial Gail¬ 
lardia is demonstrated. No more brilliant and beautiful sight can be 
imagined than a largo bed of Gaillardias. with their profusion of 
highly colored red and yellow flowers. Some of the varieties of this 
improved strain measure fully 5 inches in diameter. Mr. Robinson, 
in the JSnglish Flower Garden , recommends that they should be 
planted in bold groups, and remarks that no plants have finer effect 
in a bed by themselves, and we quite agree with him. Extra strong 
flue plants, in a splendid assortment of colors, which will be sure to 
give complete satisfaction. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7 per 100
