Hardy Plants, Shrubs and Climbers— Concluded. 
Stokesia Cyanea 
(CORN FLOWER ASTER) 
This beautiful hardy perennial plant is not yet 
quite so well known as it should and deserves to 
be. No garden, large or small, should be without it. 
As a single specimen or group in the hardy bor¬ 
der it makes for itself a place that cannot be filled 
by any other hardy plant, while for beds or masses 
of any size it ranks with the Phlox, Peony and Iris. 
It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year 
from seed, and succeeding in any open, sunny po¬ 
sition. The plants grow from eighteen to twenty- 
four inches high, and begin flowering in July, con¬ 
tinuing without interruption till late in October to 
produce their handsome, lavender-blue, centaurea- 
like blossoms, which are highly valuable for cut¬ 
ting, supplying a shade of color not overly plentiful 
at any season. Two colors, white and blue. 50 
cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred. 
Wistaria 
A popular hardy vine bearing long racemes of 
lavender-blue flowers. 
WISTARIA PURPLE—50 cents per dozen; $4.00 per 
hundred. 
Stokesia Cyanea.

Berberis—Barberry 
THUXBERGII —Prom Japan. A pretty species of

tiful coppery-red in autumn. A slower grower

en; $8.00 per hundred. 
Ligustrum—Privet 
AMURENSE (Amoor River Privet, North)— A very 
graceful plant, requires little trimming. The leaf

has. Eighteen to twenty-four indies, branched, 
$1*90 per dozen; $6.00 per hundred. 
OVALIFOLIUM (California Privet) —This makes 
when pruned a very formal hedge, will grow al¬
