BRISTOL NURSERIES, INC., 
CLEMATIS Davidiana. Fragrant Tube 
Clematis. Fine, shrubby, non-climbing 
plant for the garden. Lavender-blue clus¬ 
ter. Blooms in August and September. 
Height, ly feet. 
Recta. Ground Clematis. Great clusters of 
snowy white flowers. Height, 2y to 3 feet. 
June, July. 
Integrifolia caerulea. Porcelain-blue flowers. 
Height, 2 feet. July, August. 
All Clematis, 35 cts. each, 90 cts. for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. 
*CONVALLARIA (Lily-of-the-Valley) ma- 
jalis. This dainty, fragrant favorite, so 
essential to every garden, needs no descrip¬ 
tion. Everyone knows and wants it. Single 
leads, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7.50 per 
100; strong clumps, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 
$35 per 100. 
♦Majalis, Fortin’s Giant. A splendid garden 
strain, with distinctly larger foliage and 
flowers than the well-known type and much 
superior for garden purposes. Fine for 
massing near shrubs or along shaded bor¬ 
ders. Single leads, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 
$12 per 100 ; clumps, 60 cts. each, $6 per 
doz., $42 per 100. 
COREOPSIS lanceolata. Lance Coreopsis. 
Rich golden yellow flowers all summer. 
Height, 2 feet. 
Mayfield’s Giant. Somewhat better and 
larger than Lanceolata. 
DELPHINIUM. Larkspur. The Delphinium 
is, we believe, the most satisfactory of all 
border plants, and is deserving of special 
care. It does not do well under congested 
conditions. A rich soil is desirable, but the 
roots must not come in contact with ma¬ 
nures. Bonemeal should be well mixed into 
the soil before planting, and a light appli¬ 
cation made after each crop of flowers is 
cut. If these are cut close to the ground, 
new flowering growths will appear from the 
base of the plant, and with proper care will 
produce a second crop of blooms and con¬ 
tinue until frost. 
Bristol Hybrids. This hybrid strain in¬ 
cludes a range of lovely colors varying from 
azure-blue to deepest purple, mauve-pink 
to rosy lavender. Many are semi-double 
with distinct centers. Strong and vigorous, 
and when well established, stately spikes 
attaining a height of 7 feet are not unusual. 
35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100. 
Hollyhock or Wrexham Type. Spikes of 
unusual length and beauty, and including 
lovely color tints and shades. This type 
will flower late, following the hybrids, and 
thus prolong the Delphinium season. They 
are remarkably fine. 50 cts. each, $5 per 
doz., $35 per 100. Illustrated in color on 
page 25. 
Belladonna Improved. The most continuous- 
blooming of all, producing numerous spikes 
throughout the season, varying from 3 to 
4 feet in height. Clear turquoise shade of 
blue. 
♦Chinensis, Blue Butterfly. Dark blue. Nice 
for massing. Height, 18 inches. 
♦Chinensis grandiflorum album. A good 
white form. 
DIANTHUS (Hardy Garden Pinks), Beatrix. 
Semi-double flowers of an attractive sal¬ 
mon-pink shade. Everblooming and of dis¬ 
tinct habit. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.

frost. Semi-double, nicely formed, fragrant 
flowers; white prettily flaked crimson, dis¬ 
tinct crimson eye. Growth somewhat 
spreading; cut back after flowering.

form; rose-pink with a faint lavender shad¬ 
ing. Free flowering in June.

ers in June and July. Height, 6 inches.

pact-growing habit. Very free. Height, 6

splendid old garden favorite and one of the 
most permanent of hardy garden plants. 
Spikes, approximately 2 y 2 to 3 feet high, of 
rosy pink flowers during June and July; 
fragrant foliage. An interesting feature of 
this plant is that if a lighted match is held 
at the base of the flower-stem, a flash of 
light will appear through the flower-stalk. 
This ignites best in the late afternoon and 
during close weather, when the odor is most 
pronounced. 
Fraxinella alba. A very desirable white. 
Above two, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
DIGITALIS (Foxglove), The Shirley. Those 
who admire the old-fashioned Foxglove

Clean-cut, wiry stems, often 2 feet or more
