SUPPLEMENTARY LIST OF PERENNIAL 
FOR SPRING PLANTING 
Business was rather better last fall than we anticipated and, as a consequence, many varieties usually 
includ.ed in our general illustrated list were sold up so closely that we cannot risk our usual unlimited offer. 
Of the following varieties we only have available some five or six hundred plants of each kind. Orders for 
them will be filled only so long as our present, properly matured, first class plants last. Late orders received 
after these plants have been sold must either be declined or carried on back order for fall planting. 
ARTEMISIA, SILVER KING 
The startling new Southernwood and absolutely the 
best of the decorative plants. The white-leaved foliage 
makes the plant look as though it were made of frosted 
silver, which gleams in the sunlight, producing a color 
contrast which can be secured with no other plant. It 
makes the most wonderful bouquets either alone or in 
combination with other flowers. If cut just before the first 
frost and put in a vase without water, it will last for 
months throughout the winter. We can suggest nothing as 
useful either for the garden or for the house. S for 85c; 
$2.50 per doz. 
THE PERENNIAL FOXGLOVES (Digitalis) 
For picturesque, stately beauty. Foxglove is not to be 
surpassed by any plant. In small groups in the garden it 
is most lovely. Planted among shrubs or naturalized on 
the edge of the woods, in the orchard, or along brooks, the 
effect is stunning. For over a century it has been the most 
popular plant in English gardens and its value is now 
being appreciated in America. 
THE SHIRLEY. A magnificent new strain of perennial 
Foxgloves created by the Rev. W. Wilkes in England, which 
produces plants 6 to 7 feet tall with gorgeous flower 
heads over 3 feet long. The individual flowers are colored 
white, pink, and rosy red, attractively dotted with chocolate 
and crimson. A magnificent and permanent addition to 
any garden. 3 for 85c; $2.50 per doz. 
EUPATORIUM COELESTINUM (Hardy Ageratum) 
Of the hundreds of varieties of plants in our display 
gardens none are so popular as the so-called Hardy Ager¬ 
atum. Almost without exception every customer who calls 
here and sees it in bloom orders it. Its color, a lovely light 
purple, is almost identical with the famous annual Ager¬ 
atum, but unlike its namesake, it is a perennial and hardy, 
standing, in our garden, temperatures down to thirty de¬ 
grees below zero. It is even a more prolific bloomer than 
the tender Ageratum and develops literally myriads of its 
lovely flowers. A truly wonderful border plant, which is 
exceptionally fine for cut fiowers. 3 for 60c; $2.00 per doz. 
NEW COWSLIP GIANT BOUQUET 
The old fashioned Cowslips produced flowers less than 
one inch in diameter, borne on very short stems. Notwith¬ 
standing this fact the old Cowslips were among the most 
popular of hardy plants. In color, in habit of growth, and 
ease of culture they were hard to beat. 
However, the new Giant Bouquet does beat them. The 
GEUM 
' Lovely tufted perennials producing a wealth of attrac¬ 
tive flowers which bloom continuously from May to July. 
The plants grow about 18 inches high and are one of the 
finest of the garden plants, and they may also be used in 
the larger rockeries. Among professional fiorists the 
Geum is in tremendous demand for cut fiowers, being con¬ 
sidered one of the finest of all hardy plants for this pur¬ 
pose. Try combining Lady Stratheden and Mrs. Bradshaw 
in one bouquet and you will know why. 
LADY STRATHEDEN, Tremendous double flowers 
colored rich golden yellow. 3 for 86c; $2.50 per doz. 
MRS. BRADSHAW. Glorious double flowers colored 
a fiery red. 3 for 85c; $2.50 per doz. 
SEA LAVENDER 
STATICE LATIFOLIA. The famous Baby’s Breath is 
the most popular plant in the world for embellishing 
bouquets, and is used literally by the millions. Splendid 
as the Baby’s Breath is for this purpose, the Sea Lavender 
is even better. If the amateur gardeners knew what we 
professionals know, the nurseries of America could not 
supply the demand for this great plant. Its lacy, delicate, 
lovely lavender-blue flowers are incomparably the finest 
bouquet embellishment in existence; besides the plants 
are indescribably lovely in the garden. 3 for 85c; $2.50 
per doz. 
STATICE DUMOSA. The new Sea Lavender which 
created a tremendous sensation in English gardens. The 
fiowers are produced in dense cushions and colored a most 
exquisite, pure cool silvery white. 3 for 90c; $2.75 per doz. 
MIXED POPPIES 
We have taken plants from our named Poppies which 
will not be needed for next fall’s business and made a 
mixture of them. As long as they last, they will be sold 
at the very special prices quoted. No named varieties can 
be furnished at this price. 3 for 50c; $1.50 per doz; $11.00 
per 100. 
fiowers, often two inches in diameter, are truly magnificent. 
All the lovely old colors, white, pink, yellow, scarlet, purple, 
crimson, are present in the new strain with even greater 
intensity and splendor. The stems are long enough and 
strong enough for cutting as well as for making a real 
display in the garden. 3 for $1.00; $3.00 per doz. 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
“I remember well the first time I saw an Oriental 
Poppy. I was a boy then, and it excited me wonderfully, 
and I thought it was the most remarkable fiower in the 
world. And now, after 50 years have gone by, and I have 
seen all the known fiowers of the world, I am still of the 
opinion it is wonderful; one of the most striking and 
effective perennials in cultivation.” Our founder, Mr. J. 
Wilkinson Elliott, wrote this 50 years ago and it is still 
true. One who has not seen the blazing beauty of the 
Oriental Poppies has not yet seen a garden. 
CERISE BEAUTY. Very large, bright pink flowers 
with purple blotch. 3 for 85c; $2.50 per doz. 
HENRI CAYEIJX. New Poppy producing enormous

LULA A. NEELEY. This is the newest of the Oriental 
Poppies and is so superior to anything which has preceded 
it that it becomes by comparison the outstanding garden 
plant. The color is a brilliant ox-blood and does not 
fade. The tremendous, gorgeous flowers are borne on 
strong, erect stems. 3 for $1.30; $3.75 per doz. 
OLYMPIA. In Olympia we have at last a true double

mendous blooms of the purest satiny white with a crimson 
blotch at the base. Grown adjacent to the colored sorts, 
the effect is really breath-taking. 3 for $1.40; $4.00 per doz. 
SILYERBLICK. Tremendous Poppy flowers colored 
cameo-pink with great glistening blue-black blotches at the 
base of the petals which make a startling lovely co;or 
contrast. 3 for 85c; $2.50 per doz.
