ACHILLEA • Milfoil

every border, both for grace and usefulness 
for indoor decoration. The small, clustered 
flowers are pure white and literally smother 
the foliage by their profusion. 2 feet. June 
to September. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.

ting and an excellent fdler. The flowers are 
the whitest of all Achilleas, and an out¬ 
standing favorite with florists for summer 
flowers. 1 to 2 feet. June to August. 25 cts. 
each; $2.50 per doz. 
ACONITUM • Monkshood 
A. Fischeri. A very attractive, erect, hardy 
plant, with odd blue and white flowers in 
autumn. Not unlike the delphiniums in 
general effect, but not nearly so large or so 
tall. Particularly good in shady borders. 
40 cts. each; $4 per doz. 
A. Napellus bicolor. This is one of the tallest 
and finest of the Aconites, and a fine sub¬ 
ject to group among the rear plants in the 
border. Grows 4 feet high, with huge spikes 
of blue and white flowers from June to 
August. 40 cts. each; $4 per doz. 
A. Napellus, Sparks’ Variety. A tall variety

ALLWOODI 
Everblooming Hardy Pinks 
This new race of the Dianthus family flow¬ 
ers perpetually during spring, summer, and 
autumn. No plant is hardier or of easier 
cultivation, and its free-flowering qualities 
have rendered it exceedingly popular. The 
flowers range through many shades of light, 
medium, and dark pink and crimson, and all 
are deliciously fragrant. Mixed, 35 cts. each; 
$3.50 per doz,

cover plant with large, broad leaves topped

ANEMONE 
★A. hupehensis. Early Anemone. Sturdy, 
dwarf Anemone, lj /2 to 2 feet high, and 
resembling the Japanese Anemone in many 
respects, but blooms earlier, is not so tall, 
and much more richly colored. It is a fine 
plant for very large rock-gardens and comes 
into bloom in early August, continuing 
until frost. It will succeed in half-shady 
places. We recommend it especially for 
perennial borders and for cut-flowers. 35

decorative purposes. 1J^ to 2 feet. June to

AQUILEGIA • Columbine 
A., New English Improved Long-spurred. 
With their odd shapes and delightful color 
shadings Columbines rank high among the 
best hardy garden plants. They thrive al¬ 
most anywhere but prefer a partially shady 
and moist position. This strain is, perhaps, 
the best and most beautiful in existence, 
having flowers with very long spurs and 
most charming colors, including Pink, Blue, 
Lavender, Red, Cream, and White—all 
decidedly new and interesting. 30 cts. each; 
$3 per doz.

deep crimson with spurs 13 ^ inches long 
and a creamy white center which forms a 
striking contrast. 50 cts. each; $5 per doz.

with aromatic green foliage and spires of 
tiny yellowish white flowers. 30 cts. each;

best all-round decorative plants. Its bright 
silvery stems and foliage are of great value 
as a filler for bouquets, sprays, baskets, and 
all sorts of floral combinations. By cutting 
and drying the stems it is very valuable in 
winter. A very showy border plant 30 inches 
high. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.
