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 high garden merit. Pkt. 20c. Plants, 
each 50c; 83 for 1.40; 10 for $4.00. NAPELLUS—The Euro-

1% oz. 40c. FEROX—70 inches. Dense racemes of flowers in 
an odd tone of pale violet. Pkt. 20c. UNCINATUM—A rather

climb through them, and carry above them in surprising 
abandon its great, streamer-decked blue helmet-blossoms. 
Shade-tolerant. Plants, each 55c; 8 for $1.45. WILSONI— 
A royal beauty this, the plants becoming in autumn six-foot

4 ACHIMENES 3 
Brilliantly hued blossoms rather in the 
Gloxinia reminder, but with intensification 
of velvety coloring. Flowers mostly in de- 
lightful tones of lavender, with variations 
from mauve to purple. Achimenes starts 
blooming in late spring, giving then several 
months of flowers. Usually it is grown as 
a pot plant, blooming year after year, the 
tubers increasing freely. It also does well 
in the garden if put in a lightly shaded 
position and kept well watered. The bulbs 
or root-rhizomes are naturally small, and 
tend to dry up when not in soil, so we 
now supply them only potted and growing, 
or ready to grow. Available early April 
through June. 6 roots (in soil) for $1.00; 
8 lots (18 roots) for $2.75; 10 lots (60 
roots) for $8.00. Illustrated opposite. 
BOOKS—We can supply most available books on garden- 
ing and allied subjects. A selection of the better ones

will be advised before shipment is made. Prices are post- 
paid within United States. Add postage for other countries.
