HARDY PLANTS and PERENNIALS—Concluded 
LOBELIA CARDINALIS (Cardinal Flower) 
Rich fiery scarlet flowers. Strong plants, often producing 
ten to eighteen spikes twelve to twenty-four inches long. 50 
cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred. 
PLUMBAGO 
Lady Larpent —The hardy deep blue variety. Makes a fine 
border plant. Price, 40 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 
RUDBECKIA LACINIATA (Golden Glow) 
A hardy perennial plant, growing eight feet high, branching 
freely and bearing by the hundreds, on long, graceful stems, 
exquisite double blossoms of the brightest golden color, and as 
large as Cactus Dahlias. Price, 30 cents per dozen; $2.00 per 
hundred; $15.00 per thousand. 
STOKESIA CYANEA (or Cornflower Aster) 
Has been the most universally admired flower on our grounds. 
The plant grows from eighteen to twenty-four inches high, and 
produces the Centaurea-like lavender-blue flowers from four to 
five inches in diameter early in July until late in October, even 
after the frost has destroyed nearly all other outdoor flowers. 
We also have the white flowering variety. It is of easiest cul¬ 
ture, succeeding in any open, sunny position ; not only is it de¬ 
sirable as a single plant in the mixed border, but it can also 
be used with good effect in large, solid masses, and at the 
same time is invaluable as one of the finest cut flowers. Wo 
have no hesitancy in saying that the Stokesia is the one most 
desirable hardy plant in our list. Price, 50 cents per dozen; 
$3.00 per hundred, 
SAGE HOLT’S MAMMOTH 
The great leaved Sage of commerce. Useful as a culinary 
article; also a beautiful pot plant. Price, 50 cents per dozen; 
$3.00 per hundred. 
YUCCA FILAMENTOSA (Spanish Dagger) 
Blooms every year, bearing long stalks surmounted with 
large heads or umbels of white bell-shaped flowers. An old- 
time favorite. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred; 
$25.00 per thousand. 
HARDY BEGONIA EV ANSI AN A 
Think of it! A hardy Begonia, one that stood twenty de¬ 
grees below zero last winter, and came up and bloomed all 
summer. Another thing in its favor, ft requires shade to 
grow in, at least partial shade. So many persons write us 
asking for plants suitable for shady places. Well, Begonia 
Evansiana fills the bill. It is a wonderful, beautiful Begonia, 
having pendulous flowers in large racemes almost covering the 
entire plant. Color a sparkling pink that is simply entrancing. 
Everybody will want a hardy Begonia. It is also fine for pot 
culture. Price, $2.00 per dozen; $12.00 per hundred. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
The Lily of the Valley is one of those delicate, sweet little 
flowers that not only easily win our love, but keep it forever. 
Price, fine pips, $1.25 per hundred; $10.00 per thousand.
