Instead of our usual catalog giving our complete 
list of perennial cmd annual plants we are, for this 
season, sending you only a partial list, containing some 
of our best items. However, we have many other 
varieties. 
The two new phlox, Daily Sketch (salmon with a 
crimson eye), and Border Queen (watermelon pink), 
made a good showing in spite of the severe drouth. 
The new dwarf asters did well and we recommend 
them. We have the varieties, Marjorie, Victor and 
Countess of Dudley. 
Among the annuals we wish to call special atten¬ 
tion to the tried marigolds, Guinea Gold and Yellow Su¬ 
preme. We will also have the new varieties. We found 
the Balcony Petunias made a good showing as bedding 
plants. Viola Arkwright Ruby is a charming red viola. 
We have been experimenting with the pleasing viola, 
Lavender Gem, for several years and now have suffi¬ 
cient stock to be able to offer it for sale. Petunia, Sut¬ 
ton's Blue Bedder, is a satisfactory variety, although it 
varies slightly in the shades of blue. 
SPECIAL OFFER 
We have a small surplus of the red Siberian Coral 
Lily, which are offered at the attractive price of 75 cts. 
per dozen as long as our supply lasts. 
We have a fine collection of perennial plants suit¬ 
able for edging or the rock garden.
