1 ACONITUM or MONKSHOOD 
Flowers for the hardy border or the shrub planting, showy 
and persistent perennials of a decided, though slightly sinister, 
beauty. LURIDUM—It comes from India, Himalayan foot- 
hills, and its racemes of long-beaked flowers in an odd near- 
red tone, will light up the border in early autumn. Pkt. 20c. 
FISCHERI—In this form the plants are rather low and com- 
pact clumps, to three feet, becoming veritable bouquets of 
massed blue helmet-flowers in early autumn. A hardy and 
long-lived strain of much garden-merit. Plants only, each 50c; 
3 for $1.40; 10 for $4.00. PANICULATUM—We have received 
from a Himalayan collector seeds under this name. We have 
not yet flowered stock from it, and are unable to find any 
description. Pkt. 20c. NAPELLUS—The European Monkshood 
will grow to four feet. The attractive, helmet-shaped flowers 
are rather broad and low, usually deep blue-violet, but vary=- 
ing at times to show rosy tones or white markings, Pkt. 20c; 
3 pkts. for 50c. UNCINATUM—A rather vine-like species, 
best grown where the stems may take suppert from other 
plants, as low shrubs. It will climb through them, and carry 
above them in surprising abandon its great, streamer-decked, 
blue helmet blossoms. Illustrated page 21. Pkt. 20c. Plants, 
each 50c. WILSONI—An established plant becomes in autumn 
a six-foot tower of imperial violet flowering. Showy and

ADENOPHORA POTANINI—ecbk(3)36. Here the flowers are

eontroversy as to whether the classification is scientifically 
accurate. Pkt. 15c; 1% oz. 40c. Plants each 40c; 3 for $1.10.
