A BEAUTIFUL LAWN.

With its close, velvety turf, is a most essential feature in the adornment of all
suburban homes. Without it the finest flowering plants and bedding seem insig-
nificant, while with it handsome grounds are assured, even with no other adornment.

LAWN GRASS SEED.

Is composed of a mixture of grasses best adapted to produce a permanent and
fine turf, so that a rich, deep, green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained. Bear
in mind, my finest quality Lawn Grass Seed runs 20 lbs. to the bushel and is the
best mixture on the market for the money.

SHADY PLACE GRASS.

Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees
and in shady places. For sowing in such places we recommend the use of this
special mixture. It will quickly produce an abundance and even growth of beauti-
ful grass. The grasses used in making this special mixture are only those that are
well adapted for growing in the shade. It has been successfully used where a green
sward was desired on land partially shaded by old trees.

Quart, 35 ets.; 2 Quarts, 60 cts.; Peck, $1.50; Bushel, $6.00.

WHITE CLOVER.

This thrives in almost every soil and climate, succeeding equally well on heavy
moist land and thin dry hillsides. It is of low-creeping growth and most valuable
for green velvet lawns.

45 cents per lb., Postpaid.

Lawn Grass Seed by peck or bushel by express at purchaser’s expense, and
on all orders by mail for more than 2 quarts, please add 5 cents per quart to

LIPPINCOTT’S CHOICE ASTER SEEDS.

Asters are of very easy culture. The seeds can be sown in May, in the open

give the flowers an exceedingly graceful effect, heightened in many cases by the
ragged, irregular character of the petals in the center of the flower. The flowers all
come perfectly double. Pkt., 150 seeds, 8 cts.

PANSY, “GIANT MADAM
PERRET.”

This pansy is especially distinguished froin
other Pansies by the plant being full and spread-
inv, with very broad and extremely dark green
leaves. The straight and stiff stems it possesses
cause the flowers to stand out well from the foli-
age. The color of the blossoms ranges through
all the shades of red, from a pink to a fine, deep
purple, with an intermediate bright red, edged
with white. The face of the flower in some cases
is regular in color, while in others it is lined and
striped. Size of flowers, 3 to 3% inches in diam-

low of the small distinct eye.

Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts.

“MASTERPIECE” OR RUFFLED PANSY.

This strain comes nearer to “Double Pansy” than anything else introduced under
the name. The number of petals is the same as that in the other Pansy flowers, but
they are crimped and curled in such a fashion that the flowers appear double. The
flowers are of enormous size, often 3 inches across, and the color variations and com-
binations are odd and striking. Pkt., 150 seeds, 10 cts.

feathers. Pkt., 150 seeds, 4 cts.

pansy. This class is the result of crossing the Pansy with the Sweet Violet. The

with the well-known large Pole Limas. Pkt., 8 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts.

BEANS, Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean—The pods, seven to nine inches long, are so
fleshy that they are greater in width than breadth, being deeply creased or “saddle-
backed.”” They are solidly meaty, stringless when young, and of finest quality.

the season. Pkt., 8 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 45 ets.

MISS C. H,. LIPPINCOTT, HUDSON, WISCONSIN. 11

surpasses Harliana. Pkt., 3 cts.; 0oz., 15 cts.

while not containing the novelties of the larger houses, it is true and tried, the

in my own garden, and know to be good, if you have never grown your own
vegetables try a few this year, the packets are full size, and offered at very much

YSSUM, LITTLE GEM,

ae MISS C, H. LIPPINCOTT, HUDSON, WISCONSIN.
AMBROSIA.

A hardy annual with long spiral stems, bearing

fringy spirals of lovely green are
unsurpassed. It is one of the eas-
iest plants to grow, and seed may

be sown early in open ground.

BURBANK’S SHASTA
DAISY.

THIS SHASTA DAISY is one of
the most marvelous productions in
the flower line that has ever been
brought to the notice of floricul-
turists. Blooms for several months.
The flowers are extremely large and
graceful, averaging about four inch-
es in diameter, with three or more
rows of petals of the purest glisten-
ing whiteness, and are borne on
single, strong, stiff, wiry stems,
nearly two feet in length. The
blooms when cut remain perfectly
fresh and in good condition for
two weeks or more. No other flow-
er can compare with it in usefulness.

habit, with thick, dark, brown-purple, shining stems. The prineies are numerous,
spreading 3 or 4 feet; thick, large, dark green colored leaves. The flowers are trum-

and form three distinct flowers growing each within the other. The mouth of the
corolla is the most delicate white, beautifully marked with purple. A single plant
gives from 200 to 300 fragrant blooms during the season, followed by a large, thorny
seed vessel, which adds to its beauty; is one of easiest culture; plant at the end of

HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS.

Shrub orders must reach us not later than April 15, as the plants will not
usually remain dormant after that date and they can not be successfully handled,
except in a dormant condition.

HYDRANGEA, PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA.

(THE HARDY HYDRANGEA.)

One of the finest hardy shrubs ever introduced, and in size and magnificence of
bloom not excelled by any shrub in cultivation. The bush in time attains a large size,
growing in beauty year by year. It is in the full glory of bloom from August
until the middle or last of October, when every branch is crowned with an immense
panicle of fleecy, pure white flowers, changing later to a pinkish hue, sometimes a
foot long and nearly as broad at the base, presenting an aspect of majestic grandeur
that absolutely defies description. Entirely hardy, very free growing, a profuse
bloomer and thrives in all soils. It should have a prominent place in every garden,
not only because it is such a glorious shrub, but for its flowers appearing at a
time when few others are to be found. It is planted in great numbers at Newport,
and attracts a great deal of admiration at that well known place. A bed of one
hundred makes a most striking appearance. Each 10 cts.; three for 27 cts., postpaid.

EVERBLOOMING SNOWBALL, HYDRANGEA.

Found growing wild in the rocky hills of Western Pennsylvania, this new hardy
shrub was instantly recognized as something out of the ordinary and became a
welcome addition to our list of really valuable plants. Few of our native garden
shrubs are so attractive in habit and elegance of foliage. It is perfectly hardy,
having stood a temperature of 20 degrees below zero without injury. The flower
is very like the greenhouse Hydrangeas and pure white. The panicles are immense
in size, but the everblooming habit of this variety is its most remarkable and value-
able characteristic, blooming profusely from June until September. No hardy shrub
introduced in years has had such unqualified endorsement as this New Ever-
blooming Hydrangea. 18 cts. each, or three for 50 cts., postpaid.

SNOWBALL—VIBURNUM.

COMMON SNOWBALL (VY. opulus sterilis)—-A superb old-fashioned shrub, popular
and much admired. Of large size and spreading habit, bearing in June large
globular clusters of pure white flowers resembling immense snowballs. Each, 12 ets.

JAPAN SNOWBALL (VY. Plicatum)—The best of the Viburnums, of purer color and
better form than the above, and one of the finest flowering shrubs, but difficult
to propagate and hence rather searce. Moderate in growth “and compact in form,
rich deep green plicated foliage; large, globular flower clusters of the purest
white produced all over the bush in great abundance. Exceedingly choice, its
fine flowers are very beautiful and its handsome plicate foliage makes it a
lovely object at all tmesi 12 ects. each; the two for 20 cts., postpaid.

HONEYSUCKLES.

For real handsome vines, to be near you, climbing over windows and doorways,
there is nothing prettier than sweet-scented Honeysuckles; the foliage is pretty,
neat and clean, the flowers are almost continuous, and their fragrance delicious.
The varieties described below are the very best.

HONEYSUCKLE HEDGES—Some of our friends have conceived the idea of planting
Honeysuckles along the division fences, and it is wonderful what pretty hedges
they make. Iron or wire fences are the best, but almost any kind is soon
covered with a mantel of living green. Other climbing vines will answer the
purpose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are both fragrant and beautiful.
They should be planted two feet apart.

HALL’S JAPAN—A strong growing, almost evergreen sort, with pure white flowers
changing to yellow. Very fragrant and covered with flowers from July to November.

MONTHLY FRAGRANT—Red and yellow; very fragrant. Blooms all summer;
leaves tinged reddish color. =

SCARLET TRUMPET—Bright red trumpet-shaped flowers; blooms freely, vigorous
and rapid growing. Price of Honeysuckles 12 cts. each; the three varieties, one
of each, 30 cts.

SPIREA, (MEADOW SWEET.)

This class of shrubs offers a great variety, both in flowers and foliage, making
them of the greatest value in a collection. They are of easy cultivation, rapid
growth and will amply repay the planter with an abundance of flowers.
ANTHONY WATERER—New Crimson Spirea. By all odds the finest of the dwarf

Spireas in brilliancy of color—a bright crimson—and is the most profuse and
persistent bloomer of them all: bearing continuously large, flat clusters of
lovely flowers throughout the whole of summer and autumn. The plant is of
dwarf habit and dense growth, comes into bloom very early and when not more
than fifteen inches high.

SPIREA BUMALDA—A dwarf-growing variety, producing a profusion of beautiful
rose-colored flowers the entire summer and autumn.

SPIREA CALLOSA ALBA—A very fine dwarf-growing, white-flowered variety, per-
fectly hardy; blooms in July and August.

SPIREA PRUNIFOLIA (Bridal Wreath)—Very double; flowers pure white and
DOrae profusely the entire length of branches, perfectly double, like little
aisies.

SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI—A vigorous plant that sends up numerous tall, slender
shoots, which curve gracefully towards the ground, and the last of May or in
June are literally covered with pure white flowers, making the bush a mass of
snowy bloom.

Price, 12 cts. each; the five for 50 cts., postpaid.

WEIGELA.

This is a family of strong, vigorous growing shrubs that can be used to the
best advatage either for single lawn specimens or for massing with other varieties.
We strongly recommend them.

CANDIDA—Handsome snow-white flowers, borne in great profusion during June
and July. Handsome light green foliage.

EVA RATHKE (New)—This is a very valuable and attractive new variety. The
flowers are of a very deep, rich crimson color and are produced with the utmost
profusion.

ROSEA—Large rose-colored flowers almost covering the whole plant.

VARIEGATA (Variegated Leaved)—Deep green leaves with a broad, distinetly
defined margin of white around each. Flowers not so conspicuous as on the
other varieties, but of a beautiful clear blush.

ALTHEA.

(ROSE OF SHARON.)

The Altheas are fine, free-growing flowering shrubs of the easiest cultivation.
They produce a profusion of pretty rose-like flowers during August and September,
when other flowers are scarce. The diversity of color of the different sorts makes
it possible to use them in considerable quantities even in grounds of small extent.
They make very pretty flowering hedges. Double Red. Double Purple. Double
White. Price, 12 cts. each; the three (one of each) for 30 cts., postpaid.

SYRINGA.

(MOCK ORANGE.)

The Syringa or Mock Orange has been a favorite shrub from time immemorial
and among the many and valuable new ones it still remains a favorite.
GARLAND—F lowers pure white and very highly scented; the profusion with which
they are borne is what gives it the name of Garland Syringa.

GOLDEN—With beautiful golden yellow foliage, which keeps its color well the
entire season. Will make a pleasing and striking contrast when planted with
other shrubs. Price of each variety Syringa, 12 cts.; two for 20 cts., postpaid.
