Perennials 


Delphinium 

Mr.  W.  C.  Egan,  the  well  known  writer  and  a great  admirer  of 
Delphiniums,  says:  “There  is  no  hardy  perennial  more  easily  grown 
than  the  Delphinium.  It  revels  in  full  sunshine  and  a deeply  worked 
rich  soil  with  plenty  of  water  during  dry  spells.  If  given  these  it  will 
fill  your  heart  with  joy  and  gladness  in  the  richness  and  profuseness 
of  bloom.’’  Light  and  dark  blue  varieties. 

Hollyhock 

These  need  no  description.  They  are  good  in  rows,  groups  or  inter- 
spersed with  shrubbery.  To  reach  perfection  they  should  have  a deep, 
rich,  well-drained  soil.  Protect  the  roots  during  the  winter  with  a 
straw  mulch.  We  offer  strong  plants  in  double  white,  pink,  yellow, 
red,  and  maroon;  single  choice  mixed  and  Allegheny,  a fine  new  sort, 
semi-double  and  fringed. 

Aquilegia 

Bloom  in  late  spring  and  early  summer;  grow  about  2 feet  high 
and  succeed  in  any  ordinary  garden  soil.  AVorthy  of  more  extensive 
planting.  Assorted  colors. 

Coreopsis 

I.,arge,  deep  yellow,  cup-shaped  flowers,  each  on  a long  clean  stem, 
making  it  especially  valuable  for  cutting  purposes.  A continuous 
bloomer  during  its  season. 

Iris 

No  flower  in  the  perennial  border  surpasses  the  Iris  in  delicacy  of 
texture  and  color,  or  is  more  showy  and  pleasing  in  general  appearance. 
They  rival  the  Orchids  of  the  tropics  in  their  surpassing  beauty. 
German  and  named  varieties. 


Oriental  Poppy 

For  a gorgeous  display  of  rich  brilliant  coloring  nothing  can  excel 
the  Oriental  Poppies  during  their  period  of  flowering  in  May  or  June, 
and  whether  planted  singly  or  in  masses  their  large  flowers  and  freedom 
of  bloom  render  them  conspicuous  in  any  position. 

Platycodon 

These  a!e  very  closely  allied  to  the  Campanulas.  Of  upright  habit, 
and  they  bloom  through  July,  August,  and  September.  Very  desirable.

Dahlias  and  Gladioli 

There  is  nothing  in  the  summer-flowering  bulbs  that  is  more  at- 
tractive or  satisfactory  than  the  Dahlia  and  Gladiolus.  They  will 
thrive  in  any  good  garden  soil,  but  amply  repay  extra  care  and  feed- 
ing by  larger  size  and  greater  beauty  of  individual  flower.  Our  list 
in  both  the  named  varieties  and  mixture  includes  the  most  desiralile 
sorts.  Bulbs  should  be  planted  4 inches  apart  and  from  3 to  4 
inches  deep.
