Flauts For Every Purpose 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Too well known to warrant detailed descriptions. Our 
stock consists only of hardy varieties in yellow, white and 
red. Chrysanthemums as a class are late bloomers, making 
the most conspicuous showing in October and November. 
They are extremely frost resistant and are by all odds the 
foremost late fall flowers. Well adapted for planting in 
shrubbery borders or along foundations. Average height 
about two and one-half feet. 
LYCHNIS 
Viscaria Splendens (Lamp Flower). Evergreen foliage in 
June and July fairly ablaze with close spikes of crimson 
flowers. 
HARDY PHLOX 
Perennial Phloxes can be used to advantage in the hardy 
border, in large groups on the lawn, or planted in front of 
belts of shrubbery, where, by judicious pinching back and re¬ 
moving faded flowers, a constant succession of bloom may be 
had until frost. 
Miss Lingard. Longest spikes of any Phlox—blooms from the 
ground up; the earliest blooming, sweetly fragrant. Waxy 
white, with small lavender eye. 
Enchantress. Common pink; carmine eye. 
Lothair. Bright crimson. 
Thor. A charming variety with very large flow¬ 
ers ; soft, ruddy salmon with a bleached mot¬ 
tling about the eye of aniline red. 
Jules Sandeau. Large, fine, free-flowering, pure 
pink. 
Rheinlander. Beautiful salmon pink, with flow¬ 
ers and trusses of immense size. 
Ryndstrom. A lively Neyron shade of rose-pink. 
The standard solid deep pink variety. 
Hardy Pinks. 
PEONIES, HERBACEAUS 
A very showy and most useful class of hardy plants; will flourish in 
any section. They grow and flower well in almost any soil with very little 
care, but the flower will be finer and colors brighter if given a deep, rich 
loam, well manured. Even when not in bloom the peony is a distinct or¬ 
nament to the garden, as it forms a beautiful bush. 
Andre Lauries. Dark Tyrian-rose or purple, shading deeper. 
Festiva Maxima. The grandest of the whites. Early. The flowers are 
extra large, color a pure white save carmine tipped petals. Has no equal. 
Francois Ortegat. A midseason to late variety, being very dark rose color 
with yellow stamens ; flowers large on strong stems. Extra good. 
Fulgida. Purplish red, silver tipped, medium size, late season. 
Humei. The best late pink, American Beauty shade. Plants graceful and 
free flowering. 
Rosea Superba. Deep cerise pink, blooms compact and perfectly formed. 
Select Unnamed Varieties of Peonies by Colors. Red—Pink—White. 
SHASTA DAISY 
Alaska. Pure white with yellow eye. Plants are extremely productive of 
bloom, making as spectacular a field show and as profitable a cut-flower 
supply as any Hardy Perennial grown. 
GORGEOUS ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Papaver Orientale. Flowers are five to seven inches across, and freely 
produced during May and June, on tall stems. No more gorgeous flower 
blazes away in the garden during Oriental Poppy time and for best ef¬ 
fects it should be planted in clumps of three or more. 
STOKESIA (Cornflower Aster) 
Cyanea. 18 to 24 inches. July to October. Blue flowers. 
SEDUM (Stonecrop) 
The dwarf varieties are charming plants for sunny positions in the rock¬ 
ery, etc., and the taller kinds make effective color groups in the border. 
They thrive in almost any soil. 
Dwarf Varieties 
Acre (Golden Moss). Much used for covering graves; foliage green; 
flowers bright yellow. 
Obtusatum. Golden yellow flowers, with emerald-green foliage, shaded 
bronze. 3 inches. 
Sieboldi. Round, succulent, glaucous foliage; bright pink flowers in 
August and September. 
Spurium coccineum. A beautiful rosy crimson-flowered form; July and 
August. 6 inches. 
THYMUS (Thyme) 
The charming Mountain Thymes make a perfect, close, fragrant carpet 
on hot, dry, sunny banks where grass is difficult to establish; they are a 
sheet of blossom in June and July. Excellent for carpeting patches of 
Spring-flowering bulbs. 
Coccineum. Plants become completely covered with brilliant crimson- 
scarlet flowers. 
Miss Lingard Phlox.
