bloom the first season if sown early.
ACHILLEA, THE PEARL
A greatly improved variety of this old, hardy garden favorite .4. Ptarmica fl. pi
The Pearl produces much larger and more fully double pure white flowers which are
borne in large clusters on long stems. It grows about 2 feet high and is literally
covered with these snowy blossoms from spring until frost. Splendid cut flower
for vases. Although a perennial it will flower freely the first season if the seed is
sown early Pkt. 10c.
ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Monkshood)
Handsome, hardy herbaceous plant, throwing bold spikes of dark blue
flowers in summer. Effective in hardy flower borders, shrubberies, etc.;
height, 3 to 4 feet Pkt. 10c.
ACROCLINIUM. Double Mixed
Free summer-flowering annual plants for garden decoration; the flowers
dry as "Everlastings" for winter bouquets; Acrocliniums are also grown
as pot plants for market in European cities — in full bloom the plants
are showy and effective — -and will stand a lot of abuse on account of
the lasting quality of the flowers; 1 foot Pkt. 5c.
ADLUMIA CIRRHOSA
Hardy biennial climber, known as "Mountain Fringe," "Fumatory"
and "Allegheny Vine"; feathery foliage, rose-colored flowers; it grows
freely from seed which should be sown in the spring near a trellis
or arbor. The plants will then flower freely the following season without
further care; 15 feet Pkt. 10c.
