tricolor nigra, Bowles Black. No one knows 
just where this little black faced Pansy be- 
longs. For years we have kept a few on hand 
for visitors to see, and occasionally purchase. 
The really black flowers are half an inch 
across, miniature pansies, with a bright yellow 
eye. 
WALDSTEINIA. A little native plant of the 
Rose family, found wild throughout the north. 
Grows well in any well drained soil, and 
when happy will carpet. 
fragarioides. Barren-Strawberry. Three straw- 
berry like leaves, on stems 3 inches tall, and 
a bright yellow single flower, above the foliage. 
YUCCA. Most of the Yuccas are tender or 
half hardy plants of the warmer parts of the 
Americas. A few forms are hardy, and de- 
light in a deep poor sandy soil, though at 
home in any dry spot, where their roots can 
go deeply down. If grown in fertile soil, they 
rarely flower well, but make large clumps of 
foliage. Useful for accents in the garden, 
sometimes bedded, and often planted as speci- 
mens, by walks and drives, or before shrubs. 
filamentosa. Adams-Needle. Slender spiky 
leaves, sharp pointed, 15 inches long, with 
hairy threads along the edges, making a large 
rosette of leaves, at the ground. The flower 
spike is about 4 feet high, and carries hun- 
dreds of creamy white pendant bells, in mid- 
summer. 35 cts. each. 
filamentosa variegata. In this form, the leaves 
are attractively varied with bright yellow. 
Otherwise identical. 35 cts. each. 
coloma. Miniature types, with blue-green 
foliage, not over 6 inches high. They are 
considered to be hybrids or horticultural forms, 
and were named by the disseminator for the 
states of Colorado and Oklahoma,—Colo, ma. 
$1.00 each. 
Native “Plants, Orchids, Cferns 
Many of the plants which grow in fields and woodlands about us, are 
useful in gardening, either for naturalizing in wild gardens, or for general 
culture in the border. 
Other plants, as many ferns, will fit the rockery. 
And some of all the kinds have unusual beauty and are grown for that alone, 
carefully cultivated in spots where they may be seen and admired. 
None of the following are offered as nursery grown plants, although we 
do keep a number of them in our beds. 
For that reason, we suggest that 
we be permitted to send them out at the best season for planting rather than 
when ordered. And we shall do so, unless you specify otherwise. 
ACORUS calamus. Sweet Flag. Useful in 
planting very wet boggy spots, the slender 
grassy leaves are freely produced, and com- 
pletely cover the area. The root, cooked in 
syrup, was a favorite confection in old New 
England. 
ACTAEA alba. White Baneberry. Fine 
foliage, about 12 inches high, in a large clump, 
the flowers in a tuft of white above the leaves, 
and followed by attractive white berries in 
late summer. 
A. rubra. Red Baneberry. Like the preced- 
ing, but with brilliant red berries. 
ANEMONE canadensis. Meadow Anemone. 
About 2 feet high, from spreading roots, soon 
making a large colony. Flowers single white, 
2 inches across, above the foliage from May 
to August. 
A. nemerosa. Wood Anemone; Windflower. 
Little plant, 3 inches high, with 1 inch wide 
single white flowers, in May. 
A. virginiana. Thimbleweed. Grows 30 inches 
high, in a strong erect habit, with a number 
of large single yellow white flowers, followed 
by a large thimble-like seed head. 
ANEMONELLA thalictroides. Rue Anemone. 
Something like the Windflower, but the 
flowers often flushed pink. Mid-summer de- 
livery only. 
APIOS tuberosa. Groundnut. Wild Bean. A 
trailing vine, found on river banks and moist 
thickets, and growing from a tuber, whence 
the name. It is a good climber, but is best 
planted in shrubs, and allowed to clamber 
over them. The flowers are brown, in large 
clusters, pea-like, and are very deliciously 
fragrant. 
APOCYNUM -androsaemifolium. Spreading 
Dogbane. From a creeping underground root, 
rise stems to 4 feet, though generally lower, 
well branched, and hung with pink bells. 
Useful for the front of shrubs, and to cover 
poor dry soil. 
ARALIA racemosa. American Spikenard. <A 
tall arching stem, to several feet high, with 
a terminal panicle of foamy yellow white 
flowers, followed by an attractive cluster of 
brown purple berries.
