ACHILLEA, THE PEARL 
1012 A greatly improved variety of the old hardy garden favorite A. Ptarmica ft. pi. 
The Pearl produces much larger and more fully double pure white flowers which 
are borne in large clusters on long stems. It grows about 2 feet high and is 
literally covered with these snowy blossoms from spring until frost. Splendid 
cut flower for vases. Although a perennial it will flower freely the first season 
if the seed is sown early. pkt. .10c 
ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Monkshood) 
1016 Handsome, hardy herbaceous plant, throwing bold spikes of dark blue flowers

4 feet. Pkt. 10c. 
ACROCLINIUM, Double Mixed 
1020 Free summer-flowering annual plants for garden decoration; the flowers dry as

for market in European cities—in full bloom the plants are showy and effective 
—and will stand a lot of abuse pn account of the lasting quality of the flowers.

sirable as Acroclinium. 1 foot.*. Pkt. 10c.
