Example of a many-stemmed tree (See page 22) GIFT NURSERY BUILDINGS Introduction ILTMORE NURSERY was established in 1889. For ten years almost the entire output was used on the Biltmore Estate in the extensive and world- famous landscape and forest plantations. In 1898 we entered the commer- cial field, supplying stock to planters, dealers, landscape architects and park superintendents in the principal centers of the United States. The de- mand for Biltmore trees and plants has been unparalleled ; so great, indeed, that we have been compelled to more than double our plantations. In this, our illustrated and descriptive catalog, is offered the stock of the present season, which embraces one of the largest and most complete collections of ornamentals in the world. We have no connection whatever with any other nursery, and employ no agents, our entire business being transacted ^L from our office at Biltmore, North Carolina. *^* ^ ' ^^.- OUR LOCATION is in the heart of the mountains of Western North >4f Ipf WgT Carolina, at elevations between two and three thousand feet above sea-level, where the temperature ranges from ninety degrees above to, in the instance 1^1^^^^ ^f of °ur higher fields, twenty degrees below zero. The main nursery is loca- ted on the northerly bank of the Swannanoa River, near its confluence with the French Broad and between the corporate limits of Biltmore and Ashe- ville. The manager's office is in Biltmore, three minutes' walk from the terminus of the Asheville-Biltmore electric railway, and diagonally opposite ^ the Southern Railway passenger depot. The superintendent's office is at the greenhouses, ten minutes' walk from the end of the trolley line. We invite inspection of our grounds any day except Sunday. EXTENT AND CAPACITY. Nearly three hundred acres are devoted to the cultivation of trees and shrubs. Our greenhouses and coldframes cover an area of seventy-five thousand square feet, which, in connection with seed-beds to the extent of more than three acres, a large force of trained men and many varieties of carefully tilled soils, give us especial facilities for growing choice trees and plants on ah extensive scale both in numbers and kinds. QUALITY OF STOCK. The variations in tem- perature peculiar to the Southern Alleghany region, its evenly distributed and bountiful rainfall, and rich but shallow soil, combine to produce a quality of stock remarkably superior in root-formation, thriftiness and hardiness. Biltmore Nursery is in- spected annually by the State Entomologist and a certificate pronouncing the stock free from all in- sects designated as dangerous pests, and apparently healthy in every respect, will be attached to every shipment. We are prepared to fumigate with hy- drocyanic gas all or any nursery stock when state laws or customers require such treatment. PLANTING PLANS AND HORTICULTURAL QUESTIONS. We are pleased to answer inquiries from friends or patrons concerning what to plant, how to plant, and when to plant. Our experience is at your command. Not only are we prepared to Main office 736 give advice, supply names of trees, shrubs and plants, either cultivated or wild, or to prescribe for plant diseases or attacks of insects, but we will gladly undertake, at small cost, to prepare plans for beautifying the home surroundings, showing a pleasing arrangement of paths and drives combined with an artistic grouping of trees and shrubs. ILLUSTRATIONS. The engravings in this catalog have been exclusively prepared for us and are, without exception, made from photographs of objects on our own grounds or those of Biltmore Estate. BILTMORE TREES AND PLANTS are growing from Maine to California and from Canada to Mexico, l>esides several countries across the seas. In our comprehensive collection may be found plants adapted to the local conditions of the average planter, whether it be a locality where severe cold reigns in winter, or one where warmer sun prevails. BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT. We have suitable plants of all of the species and varieties for sending by express or freight. Such plants have been frequently transplanted, are shapely and select specimens, and represent honest values. They may be sent safely to any point having transportation facilities. BY MAIL POSTPAID. Mailing-size plants are, of necessity, smaller than those usually sent by ex- press or freight, but invariably they are robust, well-established field-grown plants and satisfactory where the inconvenience or expense of heavier shipments is a deterrent. If you have experimented with mail- ing-size plants from tiny pots or greenhouse benches and been disappointed, we know you have not tried Biltmore plants, for they are especially strong and well grown to insure success. PACKING. The utmost care will be used in digging and preparing the plants for shipment. There are no charges for packing or packing-cases, or for delivery to our freight or express depots, except in the instance of shipments to foreign countries, where the preparation is often an important item of expense. DIRECTIONS FOR SHIPPING. Please state how you wish goods sent. In the absence of explicit directions for mode of shipping, we will forward consignments according to our best judgment. OUR RESPONSIBILITY. We refer you to any bank or bankers in Asheville, N. C. We guarantee safe arrival and satisfactory condition of all shipments, unless, from the lateness of the season or extreme causes, we write for consent to waive responsibility. We are most careful to have all plants correctly labeled, and hold ourselves prepared to replace, on proper proof, all that may prove untrue to label, or to refund the amount paid therefor; but it is understood that, in case of error on our part, we shall at no time be held responsible for a greater amount than the original price of such plants. RATES AND PRICES. The price-list accompanying this catalog will be found on the last few pages of the book. The prices there shown supersede all previous rates and apply to quantities specified ; but two hundred and fifty will be furnished at the thousand rate, twenty-five at the hundred rate, and six at the dozen rate. A schedule of freight and express rates appears in connection with the price-list. TERMS CASH on or before delivery to forwarding agents, except that we extend credit to patrons by agreement, subject to the following limitations : — Invoices executed during the autumn are due and payable on or before December 3 1, following; those covering spring shipments are due and payable on or before June i, following. We prefer not to open accounts for amounts less than one hundred dollars. PACKING SEASON. We ship from October i to May i, with the usual interruptions during winter. CARE OF STOCK ON ARRIVAL. Promptly on arrival the trees or plants should be un- packed and planted, or else the roots should be protected from sun or air by covering with moist earth. If the ground is frozen outside, or the packing material in the cases frozen, store the original package in a cool, moist cellar until the conditions are favorable for handling. Care should be taken in choosing soil and environment to the end that success may reasonably follow your labors in planting. CATALOGUES SENT UPON REQUEST. We will gladly mail Catalogues to any one interested in plants, or to friends into whose hands you would care to place a copy. HARDY PLANTS AS ANNIVERSARY PRESENTS. Orders are frequently received from patrons to send plants to special ad- dresses as gifts or anniversary presents, with requests to convey to the recipients the proper form of acknowledgment, and in due time the items of stock selected. All such orders will be most carefully handled, and the plants definitely reserved for forwarding during the planting season. BILTMORE NURSERY Biltmore, North Carolina Mafl-order box CONE-BEARERS OR EVERGREENS HIS group embraces some of the most beautiful trees and shrubs in cultivation, from which it is possible to select varieties adapted to almost any soil or climate. Ever- green trees are stately and majestic as individuals and strikingly effective and im- posing in masses. They are invaluable as screens against objectionable objects, wind-breaks and hedges. Planted in informal masses, forming a background against which the showy flowers of spring-blooming shrubs may be contrasted, or the bright winter-colors of the twigs and bark of small trees and bushes intensified, evergreens make possible some of the most enchanting results in ornamental planting. Our ever- greens have been frequently transplanted, and the larger sizes are shipped with compact balls of roots wrapped in burlap. This method of handling insures the plants against loss. We have a large collection of evergreens, perhaps the most extensive in the country, and we solicit orders, whether large or small, feeling assured that our plants will prove their superior qualities.

A gem for any garden. Pinui strobus Sequoia • California Redwood and Big Trees This genus includes, seemingly, the climax of vegetation — the largest and oldest trees in the world. It is estimated that, early in the Chris- tian Era, the largest of the Big Trees, now standing, were swaying in the Pacific breezes. Trees three hundred or more feet tall, with trunks twenty or thirty feet in diameter, have been recorded. It is interesting to cultivate these monarch trees, even though the pro- portions are vastly different. The Big Tree is hardy in New York, but the Redwood is more tender and adapted only to the South Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific States. A deep sandy loam should be chosen, and if pro- tected from cold, piercing winds, the re- sults are likely to be much better. Sequoia gigantea. BIG TREE; MAMMOTH TREE. The largest and oldest of all trees. Native of the Sierra Nevada range of California. Foliage green or bluish green, completely clothing the branch- jets. Cones 2 to 21A inches long. This is the hardier species, and the one most often seen in cultivation. S. gigantea pendula. WEEPING BIG TREE.

Leaves dark green, with two pale bands beneath. A fast-growing pyramidal tree, thriving best in the neighborhood of the sea. Thuya occidental!* filicoides IS Thuya • The Arborvitaes A group of most useful hardy evergreens, thriving in a wide variety of soils and exposures. In general, a moist soil with a porous substratum is to be preferred. In the extreme North the American varieties are to be preferred, on account of greater hardiness, while in the South the Orien- tal varieties are best adapted to the conditions of climate and environment. Many of the formal varieties are successfully used in producing architectural effects and in geometric gar- dens. As tub plants, they are very durable and attractive. Thuya gigantea (T. plicata; T. lobbi}. WESTERN ARBORVIT^. A tall and stately- tree with short, often pendulous branches, of narrow pyramidal outline.

Drupe- Fruited Evergreens and the Ginkgo Trees and shrubs with plum- or berry-like fruits, evergreen with the exception of the Ginkgo. They are interesting subjects in any collection, and in several instances valuable factors in securing landscape and garden effects. The plants embraced in this group are of geological antiquity and represent types of vegetation that existed in earlier ages over wide areas of country. Our plants have been carefully selected and in most instances are sent out with com- pact balls of roots protected in burlap. Cephalotaxus • The False Yews These interesting plants should be grown in shade and sheltered from cold winds by surrounding trees or vegetation. They thrive in moist soils which are thoroughly drained. Under such conditions the foli- age remains bright and glossy throughout the season. The species resemble somewhat the Yews, but are more graceful. They should be grown only in very sheltered situations in the North, as they are not altogether hardy in severe climates. Cephalotaxus drupacea. LARGE-FRUITED YEW. A shrub or bushy tree with stiff, spreading branches. Native of Japan. Leaves about an inch long, of a rich green color.

Fruit plum-like, about an inch in diameter. Very picturesque, its curious maiden- hair-like leaves imparting a pleasing aspect. Has proven most successful in Washington City as a street and avenue tree. Taxus • The Yews Attractive ornamental evergreen trees and shrubs with showy berry-like red fruits. They are valuable for planting in shade or sunshine, and especially on cool northern exposures. Several of the species are used for hedges, and the English Yew has been extensively used in fantastic topiary work. They thrive best in a moist but well-drained sandy loam. Taxus baccata. ENGLISH YEW. A low tree of variable habit, everywhere seen in English gardens and often clipped into formal and fantastic shapes. The topiary gardens at Levens Hall and Elvaston Castle are famous examples of this fashion. Foliage dark green, pale beneath, an inch or less in length. Fruit bright scarlet, berry-like. The trees attain venerable, almost fabulous ages. T. baccata fasligiata. IRISH YEW. A shrub of remark- ably compact, upright habit ; the dark glossy green leaves spirally arranged on the closely appressed branches. Very formal. Taxus canadensis. CANADIAN YEW.

In cultivation usually a dense shrub with several stems. Foliage dark shin- ing green, tawny yellow beneath. Fruit bright scarlet, berry-like. In Japan this beautiful and hardy species has been grown from time immemorial. Torreya - The Nutmeg Cedars Evergreen trees of yew- like aspect. The several species are undoubtedly the survivors of a vegeta- tion at one time widely distributed over Europe and North America. The species are not altogether hardy in the North, although the one from Florida withstands the winters in sheltered situations near Boston. The Japanese species is, perhaps, the hardiest, but has not been sufficiently tested to determine its range of usefulness. Torreya californica (T. myristica}. CALIFORNIA NUT- MEG. A tree with spreading somewhat pendulous slender branches, forming a pyramidal crown. Leaves dark green and lustrous, i to 3 inches long. Fruit oval, green striped with purple, about an inch long. Native of California. An interesting tree for southern gardens. T. nucifera. JAPANESE NUTMEG CEDAR. A tree with spreading branches, forming a compact, pyramidal crown. Native of Japan.

Closely related to the true Larches, and differing mainly by the pendulous, stalked flower-clusters. Quite hardy. Pseudolarix kaempferi. GOLDEN LARCH. A tall pyra- midal tree with spreading, whorled branches, pendu- lous at their extremities. Native of China. Leaves deciduous, soft, light green, glaucous beneath, fading in autumn with tones of clear yellow. Cones 2 to 3 inches long, reddish brown. A beautiful tree. 18 DECIDUOUS TREES HE wide range in selection afforded the planter in choosing from the ranks of decidu- ous trees constitutes one of the charms of this very important group. Not only are the numerical factors extensive, but the characters of outline and habit, color tones of foliage and floral values, are almost equally diversified. No garden or landscape is complete without them, and their proper spacing and arrangement should constitute the basis or foundation upon which all other planting is made. Our trees are select, straight specimens, frequently transplanted, and are, so far as it is possible to control the selection, the offspring of noteworthy and desirable parents. Acer • The Maples Among the most valuable of ornamental trees for street or landscape planting, the Maples stand out prominently. The glorious autumnal colors which characterize so many of the species add greatly to their effectiveness. The leaf outlines are pleasing and sym- metrical, and in the Japanese varieties assume a veritable flower-garden aspect. A moist, porous soil is best for them. Acer laetum. COLCHICUM MAPLE. A handsome tree with light green foliage, the spreading branches form- ing a symmetrical oval crown. Native of the Orient. Acer campestre. EUROPEAN CORK MAPLE.

BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREEN SHRUBS HESE beautiful plants afford a wide range of selection in producing some of the most pleasing results in ornamental planting. No garden or plantation is altogether satisfactory without some provision for results and effects that may be had continuously throughout the winter. Groups of evergreen shrubs add wonderfully in brightening the winter aspect of our gardens. In choosing the planting site, due preference should be given to a northern exposure, where the direct rays of the sun are seldom felt, or, failing in this, a situation in partial shade should be substituted. Under such conditions the verdure and lustre of the foliage is greatly enhanced. A cool, moist soil with a porous substratum is best adapted to them, and it is recommended that a mulch of forest leaves, pine needles or spent tan bark, be spread over the soil to a depth of 2 or 3 inches. This prevents the rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil and is a potent factor in keep- ing the earth and growing roots cool and free from sudden variations of temperature. With due regard to these simple requirements, it is pos- sible, even for the amateur, to successfully cultivate the Rhododendrons, Laurels, Andromedas and many others of these enchanting plants. Abelia • The Free-flowering Abelias Handsome floriferous shrubs worthy of extensive cultivation. They thrive best in sandy loam, either exposed to the sun or in partial shade. Abelia grandiflora is the hardiest variety and may be successfully cultivated as far north as Southern New York and Missouri, if planted in sheltered situations. Abelia floribunda. MEXICAN ABELIA.

There are a few hard and fast principles, yet simple ones, governing the artistic arrangement of these beautiful ornamentals, that should be more strictly observed. In general, individual specimens, those grown wholly for the characteristic grace or attractiveness of the specific subject, should rarely be isolated from the body of the design. Irregular groups or masses ar- ranged against buildings, fences or property lines, or as border plantations along walks or drives, are much more effective. A good arrangement of shrubs invariably provides wide open stretches near the center of the lawn. From the comprehensive list of shrubs which follows, it is possible to select plants adapted to a wide range of conditions and requirements. Our collec- tion is extensive but extremely practical, carefully grown and the plants vigorous and healthy. In propagating, it is our practice, so far as it is perfect the selection, to handle only the offspring of desirable and noteworthy specimens.

An arbor of Wistaria (See page 102) 92 VINES HE wonderful grace and beauty of well-placed vines add untold value and charm to the home and garden. The enchanting pergola, shady arbor and veranda, or clinging wall-cover gives that soft artistic effect that no other treatment can produce. We offer a comprehensive collection of the hardiest and best vines — those that have real merit and sterling worth. All vines delight in a deep, fertile soil with ample moisture, and the ground for them should be thoroughly prepared and trenched. Too often this is neglected and the plants set out in a mixture of subsoil and brick- bats from the foundation excavations and building refuse. In general, evergreen vines prefer shade and cool exposures, and should be planted on the northerly sides of buildings or trellis structures. Deciduous vines, on the other hand, thrive best in sunny positions. It is a good plan to carefully work into the surface soil at the base of the vines a quantity of well-rotted compost in late autumn or early spring, thereby supplying an ample amount of fertility and insuring a strong, vigorous growth, without which these charming plants are both disappointing and commonplace. Actinidia • The Silver Vines Vigorous climbing vines with handsome foliage, well adapted for training against pillars or for cov- ering arbors or trellises. They are hardy and thrive best in moist loamy soils. Actinidia arguta (A. polygama). DARK-LEAVED SIL- VER VINE. A strong-growing vine with dark green and lustrous heart-shaped leaves.

THE LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS. We offer a superb collection of named varieties embracing only the showiest and most vigorous forms that are well adapted for training against pillars or trellis work. The magnificent large flowers are freely produced in summer, and are justly prized on account of their beauty and splendor. In view of many failures in grow- ing this type of Clematis, we add special cultural di- rections. A good depth of rich, loamy soil should be provided, into which a moderate amount of well-rotted manure has been incorporated. The plants are very susceptible to injury by drought, and it is essential to secure moist, yet porous and well-drained situations. Duchess of Edinburgh. Double white, strongly imbri- cated. Henryi.

They are among the best and hardiest of ornamental vines, and are well adapted for training on porches, arbors or trellises. For their best development a deep rich loamy soil should be pro- vided by trenching and enriching, for they amply repay for any favors of this kind. When well established, a greater profusion of blossoms may be 101 Wistaria, continued secured by rather severe pruning, cutting back the lateral shoots to short spurs, but the gain in flowers is perhaps at the sacrifice of picturesque and natural grace and beauty. Wistaria chinensis. CHIXKSE WISTARIA. A rapid- growing tall vine with handsome foliage and flowers. Native of China. Leaves compound, consisting of about eleven pale green leaflets. Flowers pea-shaped, purplish, profusely borne in dense drooping clusters 7 to 12 inches long, opening in mid-spring. Very showy and desirable. W. chinensis alba. WHITK WISTARIA.

The long clusters of flowers at the top of the pergola picture shown on the preceding page, some of them 3 feet long, are of this superb vine. Wistaria chinensis 102 ORNAMENTAL GRASSES AND BAMBOOS ERY effective and artistic results may be obtained by the use of these graceful and attrac- tive plants, either informally, as with clumps or masses in connection with other planting, or in formal beds or borders, where low varieties often stand in symmetrical arrangement in the foreground of tall-growing species. Hedges of the Miscanthus grasses are very showy and pleasing, especially in the garden, where, for example, it is often desirable to divide one part from another during the growing season. Bamboos are noble subjects, and make possible within their range of hardiness some of the most enchanting results. They are extremely graceful and picturesque planted above streams or pools of water, or in clumps on the borders of moist woodlands, where sufficient space may be allowed for the spreading of their rampant subterranean root-stocks, which, when the plants become thoroughly established, spread rapidly over a considerable area of ground. Arundo • The Giant Reed A tall leafy species with stout stems and showy plumes, well adapted for lawn decoration or for massing in formal beds. It is also valuable for waterside planting, producing^ striking results, especially in connection with Typha and Phragmites, which, unlike the Arundo, thrive in wet ground or shallow water. A deep loamy soil, well enriched, is best adapted to its welfare. Arundo donax. GIANT REED. A hardy, vigorous perennial, attaining a height of 10 to 15 feet. Native of Europe and Asia. Leaves very long and broad, glaucous green, produced from the base almost to the top of the stems. Plumes reddish brown, changing to silvery gray, a foot or more in length, long persistent, quite showy. A. donax variegata. VARIEGATED GIANT REED. Not so tall or so hardy as the typical form, requiring some protection in cold climates. Leaves longitudinally striped with green and creamy white. Very striking. Bamboos Including the genera Arundinaria, Bambusa and Phyllostachys Giant grasses with woody stems and usually evergreen foliage, thriving in deep, loamy soils. While quite hardy in the Southern States and California, many of the species, when grown in positions sheltered from piercing winds, either in sun or partial shade, will withstand depressions of temperature to the zero mark, or occasion- ally even more, without injury to the vitality of their roots. These admirable plants are truly objects of grace and beauty. The arching stems and dainty branches, bending with a wealth of handsome foliage, produce an enchanting effect. It is well to allow ample space for the spread of the plants, as they are rampant growers when fully established. In the early stages of their development a liberal mulching with leaves and manure is very beneficial, preventing the penetration of heat and cold to the roots, and conserving the mois- ture. It usually requires a couple of years to establish a clump and realize the vigor and hardiness which they possess. They are very decorative when confined in tubs or pots, and valuable for furnishing living-rooms or porches. 103 Bambusa palmata (seepage 104) Phyllostachys as a tub-plant Bamboos, continued Arundinaria auricoma.

Native of Japan. Leaves soft green, spreading or drooping from the numerous dainty branches. One of the hardiest of its genus, and easily recognized by the numerous short internodes at the base of the stems. P. mitis. TALL BAMBOO. A tall species with wand- like arching stems 15 to 20 feet tall, or even more in favorable situations. Native of Japan. Leaves light green, gracefully disposed along the yellow-green sterns and branches. This is the tallest of the Bamboos, but is not so hardy as many of the other species. P. nigra. BLACK-STEMMED BAMBOO. A remarkably attractive species with stems 10 to 15 feet tall, which are green in their first year, but change to black dur- ing the second year. Native of China and Japan. Leaves 3 to 5 inches long, less than an inch broad, pale green. P. ruscifolia (Bambusa viminalis}. RUSCUS-LEAVED BAMBOO. A dwarf species with slender zig-zag stems, about 2 feet tall.

A shady nook, where the soil is moist and the drainage good, will prove an ideal location, especially if a liberal amount of leaf-mould or woods earth is available ; and better still if rocks or stumps may unite in breaking the monotony of the ground's surface. Under such conditions Ferns require very little attention and amply repay in satisfaction and genuine pleasure. There are many places more or less shut out from the sunlight that may be converted into veri- table beauty spots by clumps of Ferns of various kinds, and their intrinsic ornamental qualities are well worthy of our attention.

Few plants indeed can surpass in splendor the stately Lotus or dainty Water Lily — and they are so hardy and easy to grow ! Ponds, either natural or artificial, or slow-flowing streams, can be made focal points of attraction and beauty by careful planting, or perhaps one of the features of the home grounds. Where such conditions or opportunities are lacking, fountain basins or formal pools form good places for many of these grand plants, and even sunken tubs have been successfully used. The soil in natural ponds is usually all that is needed, but in artificial ones should consist of turfy loam well enriched, and for water plants, covered with varying depths of water in order to provide for the requirements of the plants and to prevent the freezing of their roots or tubers in winter. Shore plants thrive in sandy or mucky soils, and may be diversi- fied, often advantageously, by rocks and boulders. Acorns calamus. SWEET FLAG. A hardy waterside plant with sword- shaped, bright green leaves, attaining a height of 2 to 3 feet. The long branching rootstocks are pleasantly aromatic, and form the basis of a popular confection in certain parts of the country. The species is widely dis- tributed in the Northern Hemisphere. A. gramineus variegatus. VARIEGATED SWEET FLAG. A smaller plant than the foregoing, of Japanese origin, forming compact grass-like tufts. Leaves beautifully striped with green and white. Often grown as a pot- plant indoors, and thrives in either wet or moist garden soil. Brasenia purpurea. WATER SHIELD. An interesting aquatic plant with floating leaves, widely distributed in both hemispheres. Stems long and slender, bearing numerous oval leaves which are bright green and shin- ing on the upper surface, often purple beneath. Flow- ers borne on long pedicels, purple, blossoming in summer. Very hardy and useful. Callha paluslris. MARSH MARIGOLD. A beautiful marsh plant flourishing in wet places near running water. Grows naturally from Newfoundland to South Carolina, westward to Nebraska. Leaves bright green, broadly heart-shaped. Flowers bright yellow, very showy, freely produced in spring. C. paluslris flore-pleno. DOUBLE-FLOWERED MARSH MARIGOLD. A very beautiful variety of the preceding, with full and double flowers of exquisite form and sub- stance. Limnanthemum nymphaeoides. FLOATING HEART. An aquatic plant with submerged stems and floating leaves. Native of Europe and Asia. Leaves heart-shaped or nearly orbicular, 2 to 4 inches broad. Flowers about an inch across, bright yellow, freely produced almost throughout the season. Should be kept within bounds, as it spreads rapidly. Myriophyllum proserpinacoides. PARROT'S FEATHER. This graceful aquatic plant is much admired on account of its delicate feathery foliage. It is very valuable for lily ponds and fountain basins, and is also grown in- doors in vases and aquaria. Hardy in the Southern and Pacific States, and usually withstanding the win- ters as far north as Southern Ohio and New Jersey. Myosoiis palustris. TRUE FORGET-ME-NOT. A dainty plant with much sentimental interest associated with it. It is of easy culture and thrives admirably in wet places near running water, or in damp shady ground. Flow- ers freely produced from spring until fall, bright blue with a yellow eye, disposed in loose-flowered racemes. Native of Europe and Asia. We offer only the true perennial species. Nelumbium • The Lotus Plants Of all the hardy aquatic plants, none are more deserving of our attention and admiration than the stately Nelumbiums. The handsome circular leaves are often of very large size, soft bluish green, the stronger ones boldly and gracefully held above the surface of the water from 2 to 4 feet. Towards the end of June, and continuing for many weeks, the magnificent large fragrant flowers are freely produced, displaying both in form and color the highest type of grace and beauty. All of the Lotus plants are perfectly hardy, provided they are planted m a sufficient depth of water to keep the tubers from freezing. They should not be planted before the advent of the growing season, as the tubers cannot be safely handled much in advance of that period. Nelumbium luteum. AMERICAN LOTUS, OR WATER CHINQUAPIN. A noble species with large glaucous green leaves i to 2 feet across. Grows naturally from Ontario and Michigan, southward to Florida and Louisiana ; usually rare and local. Flowers sulphur- yellow, 6 to 10 inches in diameter when fully expanded. Very handsome. N. speciosum. INDIAN LOTUS. This is the so-called Egyptian Lotus, and while it may not be historically 108 Nelumbium, continued true, the name is everywhere associated with this beau- tiful plant. Native of Asia. Leaves very large, glaucous green, cupped in the center, i to 2 feet across. Flowers exquisitely tinted with rose, creamy whjte at the base of the petals.

Nymphaea • The Water-, or Pond-Lilies The beautiful Water-Lilies are universally ad- mired, and justly rank among the very best of hardy aquatic plants. The various forms produce a succession of flowers from spring until the close of the season — dainty, glorious flowers of exquisite form and fragrance. They are of the easiest culture, requiring only water, sun and fertile soil. When planting, it is best to set the tubers in soil that is submerged about a foot and a half or two feet deep, Nelumbium tpeciosum allowing them to spread naturally into deeper water. Nymphaea alba.
