Vfewest (Choice ‘Delphiniums 
Grown from the finest, most expensive seed procurable these plants will produce the first season 
their enormous spikes of blue and white flowers that persist all through the summer. Ideal for the 
mixed border and for cut bloom. 
One of the valuable qualities about Delphiniums which you don’t hear much about is quantity and 
continuity of bloom. The strain we offer here has been found to be quite unexcelled in this respect. The 
flower spikes are of enormous size, they develop continuously, and they make a grand showing the whole 
summer and fall and even, if weather permits, into the winter. We recommend this strain unqualifiedly. 
1- year strong plants, 3 for 40c; 12 for $1.3 5; each 15c. 
2- year large clumps, 3 for 60c; 12 for $2; each 2 5c.

Hie finest Qarden Dnks 
No perennials are more useful for border or rock garden or group plantings than the Dianthus or 
Garden Pinks; they are hardy, profuse bloomers and take care of themselves. We select from a vast 
number these three, including the new and sensational Dianthus Gaiety. All are blooming size plants. 
DIANTHUS ARENARIUS which grows with lovely 
mounds of silver-green foliage, showy all through 
the year, from which spring great numbers of 
fringed, fragrant creamy blossoms on wiry stems. 
Large clumps, 3 for 60c; each 2 5c. 
DIANTHUS DELTOIDES with dark green evergreen 
foliage in closely tufted mats and bountiful crim¬ 
son dotted flowers of dark pink; indispensable for 
the rock garden. 3 for 40c; each 15c. 
DIANTHUS GAIETY (New)—Bears all season 
long enormous flowers in shades of brilliant 
scarlet, pink, etc.; we have had blooms 3*4 
inches wide—hard to believe until you see 
this largest of all Garden Pinks. A treasure. 
3 for 60c; each 25c. 
ERIGERON SPECIOSUS, though seldom seen in 
gardens, is really one of the most useful of all 
perennials because it is seldom out of bloom and 
is a fine cut flower. The leafy flower stems, with 
soft green downy leaves, grow to a height of nearly 
two feet and bear in great profusion large clear 
lavender daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. An 
invaluable plant for the hardy border. Strong 
clumps to provide a fine showing the first season, 
3 for $ 1; each 5 0c. 
THE NEW CHINESE FORGET-ME-NOT "FIR¬ 
MAMENT”—Not a perennial but a biennial 
so altogether lovely it should have a place in 
every garden. A greatly improved Chinese Forget-me-not this Cynoglossum makes a com¬ 
pact, bushy plant about 15 inches high that is smothered with flowers of intensest 
heavenly blue through a long blooming season. Valuable for bedding, rockery, mass plant¬ 
ing and cutting. Blooming size plants, 12 for $1.2 5; 6 for 70c; each 15c. 
ERYNGIUM ALPINUM, the Blue Sea Holly—A hardy perennial suggestive of a thistle bearing 
profuse globular metallic-blue flowers each set in its cup of blue bracts on three foot stems, much 
branched. Most effective and unusual; fine also for winter bouquets. Strong plants, prepaid, 50c.

A TRULY REMARKABLE ROSE! 
Visitors to our garden have gone into ecstasies when they have seen our rose Kathleen, modestly 
described on page 8. It is so different to any other rose, so altogether healthy, pest-resistant and contin¬ 
uously in bloom, that it stands out as a rose in ten thousand! We offer it in this catalogue for the first 
time in years and so far as we know we are the only firm in America offering it. Try it and you will 
never regret it; rather, you will thank us for suggesting so lovely a rose.
