Plus the Fine, Unusual Varieties 
Developed by Bristol—and Those that 
Merit Our Recommendation to You 
Tremendous progress has been made in the 
perennial world—hardier, better, more beauti- 
ful kinds—the result cf skillful hybridizing, 
develop each season and Bristol has done its 
part. Our effort always will be to keep up 
with the advance, offering the best of the new 
and the best of the old. 
A novelty offered by Bristol is a genuine 
novelty. Renaming a little known variety or 
a foreign introduction is not our policy. We 
point out here that many perennials are 
showy, but for a brief period, or short lived, 
therefore of dubious garden value. These we 
omit. The average garden is one of limited 
space; it should have only the best. That is 
what we offer here.

Columbine, Crimson Star 

MONKSHOOD 
ACONITES. A splendid family of plants re- 
sembling in habit the delphiniums, but 
flowering during late summer and fall. They 
are very adaptable to grouping and most 
useful where blue is desired as a late garden 
color. Perfectly hardy but slow to establish 
and for that reason should remain undis- 
turbed as long as possible. Aconites can be 
grown in partial shade or full sun. 
Autumnale. Large spikes of rich, dark blue, 
hooded flowers. Height, 4 to 5 ft. Septem- 
ber, October. 
Fischeri. Compact habit; attractive, glossy 
leaves; bright blue flowers carried in short, 
stocky spikes. A very lovely Monkshood 
with flowers of a brighter color than some 
of the others. Height, 2 to 3 feet. Septem- 
ber, October. 
Fischeri Wilsoni. A more recent addition 
from China. It is of tall, stately habit, 
strong growth, and has deep violet-blue 
flowers. 5 to 6 feet. September, October. 
Napellus. One of the earliest. Fine, rich dark 
blue flowers on tall irregular spikes: Height, 
3 to 4 feet. July, August. 
Napellus bicolor. Clearly marked white and 
blue flower-spikes. Quite distinct. Height, 
2 to 21% feet. 
Spark’s Variety. Deep blue flowers on long, 
branching spikes. Height, 4 to 5 feet. July, 
August. 
All Aconites, 35 cts. each, $1 for 3 
$3.50 per doz. 
HARDY AGERATUM 
(Eupatorium) 
COELESTINUM. Blue flower heads like the 
annual ageratum but stems longer and 
better cutting during August and Septem- 
ber. Well-drained soil and careful protec- 
tion needed. Height, 12-15 inches. 3 for 
85 cts., $3.00 per doz., 30 cts. each. 
AUTUMN-FLOWERING 
ANEMONES 
These lovely fall-blooming Anemones are 
somewhat difficult to establish and are 
worthy of some special attention in their 
culture. Anemones dislike an exposed, wind- 
blown location, extreme heat, and clay soil. 
A mellow garden soil to which leaf-mold 
and thoroughly decayed barnyard manure 
has been added is best. A background of 
evergreens or a wall is also desirable. Grow- 
ing plants from pots planted in May or 
early June will give good results. Winter 
covering of leaves and evergreen branches 
should be applied in late November. Do not 
uncover too early.
