The steadily increasing demand for hardy plants has induced us to give them more attention and to increase our stock considerably. Though our list is not as long as some offered, it has been our aim to offer only the most desirable and to exclude all weedy and inferior sorts. For such of our customers who are not acquainted with the different varieties we shall be pleased to make suitable selections of the most desirable species that, when once planted, with very little care, will keep the garden gay with flowers from the time frost leaves the ground until late in the autumn. Achillea (The Pearl). A grand improvement on the old double Achillea. The flowers, which are borne in the greatest profusion the entire summer on strong, erect stems, are of the purest white ; as a summer cut-bloom it is a great acquisition. 15 cts. each, § per doz. Achillea Filipendulina. A vigorous showy species, with golden yellow flow- ers in dense flat corymbs ; foliage very handsome. 20 cts. each, § per doz. Anthericum Liliastrum (St. Bruno's Lily). A beautiful plant, with narrow, grass-like foliage, and long spikes of white, fragrant, lily-like flowers. 15 cts. each, per doz. Anthericum Liliago (St. Benuird's Lily). A pretty species bearing ., freely spikes of white flowers. 15 cts. each, § per doz. \\ | './ Anthem is Tinctoria (Hardy Golden Marguerite).

The flowers are of the exact form of a daisy, but clear yellow. 10 cts. each, § per doz. Anthemis Tinctoria Kelwayii. This is an improved form of the above and a most showy and useful border plant, with large, bright golden yellow flowers, continu- ing in bloom for a long time ; very useful for cutting. 15 cts. each,
