ANCHUSA (Alkanet) 
Barrelieri (Early Bugloss)—A delightful early blue flower, 
more compact and bushy in growth than Anchusa italica, 
Dropmore. Blooms in May and is covered with small, 
dark blue flowers with pinkish yellow throats. About 
2 J /2 feet high and thrives in full sun. 
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. 
*Myosotidiflora—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 41/2 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. 
Whirlwind—Semi-double, pure white. 
ARABIS (Rockcress) 
*Florepleno—Double flowering form of the above; flower¬ 
ing 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 mistlike flowers with silvery gray foliage add¬ 
ing an effect of lightness among the dark green foliage 
of the other Perennials in bloom at that time. 
ASTILBE—See Spiraeas 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 
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 excel¬ 
lent introduction. 
HOWARD’S HYBRIDS 
The Rocky Mountains have given us many beautiful flow¬ 
ers, 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 charrning 
colors run from light blue through all the shades of light 
pink, creamy white, delicate lavender, to brilliant scar¬ 
let. 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. 
plants $3.00, unless otherwise noted 
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. 
Beechwood Challenger—Absolutely a true red Aster, very 
fine sturdy grower, attaining a height of about 4 feet. 
The red color shows up in delightful contrast with the 
bright yellow center. Fine bushy upright grower. Abso¬ 
lutely disease resistant. Price: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen. 
$35.00 per 100. 
British Queen—Soft lavender blue, semi-double, unusually 
large, open flowers with pale yellow center. A vigorous 
growing, well branched plant that comes into bloom early 
September. Height about 4 feet. Excellent for cutting 
and decorative work. 
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 or two and a half feet. Price: 35c per plant. 
$3.50 per dozen.
