New Hybrid Scabiosas 
LARGE FLOWERED HYBRIDS. 2 to 3 ft. 
Starts blooming in August and continues in flower until killing frosts. The perennial Scabiosa 
is one of the most handsome hardy perennials, especially valuable for cutting, the blossoms last¬ 
ing a long time in water; large double and single flowers in all pastel shades of blue and lavender.

Tritoma or Flame Flower 
PFITZER’S IMPROVED. 3 to 4 feet. The finest of all Tritomas, the flowers 
being larger than other varieties, on more upright stems, blooms more profusely 
and color is more intense. Many of the flowers measure 12 to 15 inches long by 
4 inches in diameter. They are dazzling scarlet, the lower half of flower being tinged with rich 
orange. A clump makes a striking show, surpassing the finest Canna for attractiveness. Bloom 
from August to October. If roots are covered during the severe winter weather, they will live 
safely from year to year. Blooming size plants, 45c each; 3 for $1.10; 12 for $3.50j postpaid.

10 to 12 inches long. The color is bright, orange-red at first with the lower portion turning 
yellow with age. A tall, strong growing plant, 4 to 5 feet high, and the finest spring .flowering-

scarlet. Pkt., 10c. 
Trollius 
Spring and summer blooming plants on the But¬ 
tercup order that are becoming more popular each 
year. The plants form neat tufts of dark green, 
finely cut foliage sending up their graceful blooms 
on one to two foot stems. They will do well in 
either sun or shade and make ideal cut flowers. 
EARLY KING. The earliest variety to bloom. 
The flowers are at their best during the Tulip sea¬ 
son in May. Deep orange-yellow. 
EARLY PRINCE. Exactly like Early King except 
color which is bright lemon yellow. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. June-July. We consider this 
one of the best Trollius in cultivation. The rich 
golden-yellow flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are pro¬ 
duced on 2 ft. stems with usually one or more side 
branches. The fully opened flower shows a triple 
row of petals with a mass of long golden stamens in 
the center. An outstanding flower for the perennial 
garden, and an excellent cut flower. 
Blooming size plants of the above three varieties, 
30c each; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00, postpaid.
