Ill I! Ill PERENNIALS 
ANCHUSA (Alkanet) 
Dropmore Variety —Rich gentian blue; one of the earliest of 
the blue flowers. Plants form beautiful specimens, 3 to 4 feet 
high. One of the most exquisite blue flowers for the garden. 
June to August. 
Morning Glory— A new English variety of lovely Gentian-blue, 
flowering early Spring and Summer. As branches flower they 
may be cut back, and in this way a succession of bloom can be 
maintained throughout the Summer. Price: 45 4 per plant, 
$4.00 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. 
*Mvosotidiflora —This Dwarf Anchusa comes into bloom in 
May, and continues blooming for about six weeks. The flowers 
somewhat resemble Forget-me-nots but are the brilliant blue of 
the tall Anchusa. It grows about 1 foot high and is admirably 
adapted to rock gardens or borders. 
ANEMONE JAPONICA (Windflower) 
One of the best of the Fall blooming plants, for use as cut-flowers 
or where one requires a show spot in the garden. These plants 
attain a height of from 4 to 4% feet, and will do equally well in 
sun or shade; they bloom from early September until cut down 
by the frost. 
Alice —When the flowers first appear they look like Roses, and 
when they are expanded the silvery pink petals are suffused 
with bright carmine. 
September Charm —A lovely variety, a cross between Anemone 
Hupehensis and Japonica Queen Charlotte, combining the 
good qualities of both. Flowers of lovely silver-pink, shaded 
with rose and mauve, are produced in great profusion from 
September to hard frost. Height, 2 feet. 
Queen Charlotte —One of the most beautiful plants in our Fall 
gardens, blooming in September and October. Grows about 18 
inches high and is excellent for cut-flowers in the house. Semi¬ 
double, beautiful light pink. 
Whirlwind —-Semi-double, pure white. 
ARABIS (Rockcress) 
*FlorepIeno —Double flowering form of the above; flowering two 
weeks later. 12 inches. 
ARTEMISIA 
Lactiflora —One of the most useful tall plants we have, blooming 
in August and September. Grows about 4 feet high and makes 
a splendid foliage background for Phlox and Summer Lilies. 
The milk white bloom is borne on graceful sprays, producing a 
lacy effect. 
* Silver King —A very useful plant, growing about 3 feet high and 
blooming in early Summer. Producing beautiful sprays of mist- 
like flowers with silvery gray foliage adding an effect of light¬ 
ness among the dark green foliage of the other Perennials in 
bloom at that time. 
ASTILBE—See Spiraeas 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 
Alpina Superba —Beautiful short-spurred form of the Colum¬ 
bine. This is the true Aquilegia of which the true stock is very 
rare. 
Chrysantha Silver Star —Creamy white variety. 
Crimson Star —A decided new break in color in Columbines. A 
very lovely rich crimson, with a white center. An excellent 
introduction. 
HOWARD S HYBRIDS 
The Rocky Mountains have given us many beautiful flowers, but 
nothing to touch these marvelous Aquilegias with their lovely 
pastel shades, as delicate as a fleecy cloud in a Summer sky of 
palest blue. These charming colors run from light blue through 
all the shades of light pink, creamy white, delicate lavender, to 
brilliant scarlet. When massed in mixed color in the Perennial 
border they give an effect of airy daintiness not surpassed by 
any other flower. Assorted colors only. 
MRS. SCOTT ELLIOTT’S HYBRIDS 
Assorted shades of long spurred varieties. 
Yellow Gem —A very fine clear shade of yellow. 
ASTERS (Michaelmas Daisy) 
Hardy Asters or Michaelmas Daisies come in practically every 
shade of color with some varieties very useful as cut-flower 
subjects. Since they are rampant growers it is not necessary to 
grow them in large quantities in order to have a splendid show 
during the month of September. 
Barr’s Pink —Lovely light mallow pink with stiff petals and a 
brilliant golden center growing from 3 to 4 feet high. Well 
branched and the flowers are admirably spaced and give the 
appearance of a gigantic head of pink. 
British Queen —Soft lavender blue, semi-double, unusually 
large, open flowers with pale yellow center. A vigorous grow¬ 
ing, well branched plant that comes into bloom early Septem¬ 
ber. Height about 4 feet. Excellent for cutting and decorative 
work. 
Burbank’s Charming —Clouds of dainty, delicate pink sprays. 
Gives a most charming effect. October-November. 5 feet. 
Harrington’s Pink —The very handsomest pink hardy Aster, or 
Michaelmas Daisy introduced to date. Clear shining pink in 
color, making a magnificent foil for the many handsome blue 
and white varieties already in cultivation. Large flowers of 
bright dainty pink, attaining a height of about two to two and 
a half feet. Price: 75per plant, $7.50 per dozen. 
Mount Everest —A wonderful white Aster. It forms very tall, 
well shaped, pointed pyramids with an abundance of lateral 
growths which flower right down to the ground. The flowers are 
large and dead white with a very small eye. Healthy foliage. 
3-4 feet. 
Red Rover —Rich deep wine red. Looks like double flowers 
when first opening, but forming a distinctive cup with gold 
disk at the bottom when fully mature. A very strong grower. 
Royal Blue —This is a large blue, apparently double at first, but 
when it opens fully, it forms distinct cup shape flower with a 
golden disk at the bottom. Medium height. Blooms early Sep¬ 
tember. 2 V 2 feet high.
