Aquilegifolium Album. Elegant Columbine-like foliage and masses of feathery white flowers during June and July. 3 feet. Aquilegifolium Atropurpureum. A rosy-piirple flowered form of the above. Dipterocarpum. Though introduced some years ago, this beautiful species is yet but little known. We consider it one of the real gems among hardy plants, not only for the garden but its dainty, graceful sprays of flowers, elegantly arranged on stems 4 feet high, are invaluable for cutting; the flowers are of charming shade of violet-mauve, which is brightened by a bunch of lemon-yellow stamens and anthers. (See cut.) Glaucum. Fine cut glaucous foliage; bronzy-yellow flowers in June; 2 feet. Intermedium. Pale yellow flowers in July; 2 feet. Price. 30 cts. each; per doz.; $ per 100. Set of 5 sorts, XRITOMA (Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily) Pfitzerii {The Evcrblooming Flame Flower). The early free and continuous blooming qualities of this variety has made it one of the great bedding plants. Succeeds in any ordinary garden soil, but responds quickly to liberal treatment; hardy if given protection, but the most satisfactory method of wintering is to bury the roots in sand in a cool cellar. In bloom from August to October, with spikes 3 to 4 feet high, and heads of bloom of a rich orange-scarlet, producing a grand effect either planted singly in the border or in masses. (See cut.) 30 cts. each; per doz.; per 100. TRILLIUM (Wood Lily, or Wake Robin) Grandiflorum. Excellent plants for shady positions in the hardy border, or in a sub-aquatic posi- tion. Large pure white flowers in early spring; 12 to 18 inches. IS cts. each; per doz.; per 100
