EUPHORBIA - Spurge, Milkwort 
Hardy perennials with handsome foliage. The flowers are yellow or 
white surrounded by involucres or bracts, which impart a quaint ap¬ 
pearance to the flower heads. In some cases the flowers are incon¬ 
spicuous, the red attraction being the colored bracts and foliage. Corol- 
lata is especially suited for cutting. 
Culture. Euphorbias succeed best in poor soils and sunny position in 
the rock gardens or raised borders. Under such conditions they will 
flower more freely than in a rich soil. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 
10 inches apart. 
Corollata Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00,100 $18.00 
(Flowering Spurge.) Showy and useful plant growing about 24 inches 
high, and bearing from June till August umbels of pure white flowers 
much like the Baby's Breath, and excellent for cutting. 
*Myrsinites Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30,100 $20.00 
A prostrate plant with beautiful bluish foliage. The yellow flowers in 
early spring do not matter. It is the foliage which makes this plant so 
valuable. 
*Polychroma Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30,100 $20.00 
(Epithymoides.) A beautiful formal plant growing one foot high, form¬ 
ing a hemispherical clump covered with yellow flowers in May and June. 
Excellent border or rock plant. 
GENISTA - Dyers Greenweed; Broom 
Shrubby plants for growing in dry, sunny borders or on banks. Golden 
yellow flowers produced freely from May to August.

12 to 18 inches apart. Protect with straw in winter, colder parts of 
country.

A very fine little spring shrub about two feet high with silky, small 
leaves; the flowers are freely produced in drooping heads. It is the 
hardiest of the Genistas.

pealike flowers in clustered heads in June. Plant in warm sheltered

GERBER A - Transvaal Daisy 
Lovely tender perennials. Their brilliant sunlike flowers are produced on 
leafless stems about 18 inches high all summer. 
Culture. Grow in full sun, prefer a moist, peaty loam and should be 
protected very carefully during winter in cold regions. They may also 
be potted up in fall and will continue blooming indoors. In temperate 
sections of the country they only require a light protection. Plant in 
spring only, 6 inches apart. 
Jamesoni Giant Hybrids Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00

FERNS - Hardy Varieties 
The cultivation of Hardy Ferns is remarkably simple. All they want is 
a little light alluvial soil, a little loam and peat or leaf mold sufficient 
to keep the soil light and open, plenty of moisture, position varying from 
partial to deep shade. The Aspleniums and many others will grow on 
walls, chinks or rocks, etc. Many will revel in full sunshine in any ordinary 
border. 
Culture. A shady position is, of course, preferred, or a spot which gets 
practically no sun, will be an ideal place for a fernery. If the position 
should be a very damp one, it will be advisable to raise the surface 
about 6 inches to a foot. Thoroughly mix a liberal supply of good brown 
peat withh the existing soil, to give a good start. When the plants have 
become over-grown, lift, divide and replant early in April or fall. For 
a good effect plant 8 to 10 inches apart.

Cystopteris bulbifera Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30,100 $20.00 
(Bladder Fern.) Light green fronds, which attain a length of nearly 3 
feet, make it useful for massing on moist banks or for lining walks 
where a low carpet effect is desired. Plant the crowns just at the sur¬ 
face and 8 inches apart. 
Dicksonia punctilobula Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00

FUCHSIA 
Mostly tender shrubs used for bedding or cool greenhouse decoration in 
the temperate zone. They are charming subjects for the shady garden 
available in many colors and forms. 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, wet 
clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the 
plant is protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro¬ 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
where it fits in perfectly, blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they 
are especially adapted for shady locations. We advise protection any¬ 
where north of Philadelphia.
