34 The C. A. Reeser Co., Seedsmen and Florists, 4^ARDY GaRDEnTIxANTS- I"*OR the past few years an increasing demand has sprung up for this class of plants, on account of their great advantage over tender plants for use in H flower garden and bedding. They are entirely hardy, will live from year to year, and when different sorts are planted a succession of bloom can be had during the entire season. Most varieties will grow and thrive in any garden soil, but a good, deep loam, well enriched with manure and deeply and finely worked before planting, will well repay the cultivator. With the exception of keeping away weeds they require no care for several years. In the following list are named some of the best of this class. THE •:• * *

LOVELY * JAPANESE WIND-FLOWER. JAPANESE WIND FLOWER. Coreopsis Lanceolata. A hardy perennial that should find its way into every garden. The flowers are a clear, bright golden yellow, and certain to attract attention. It flowers profusely, is perfectly hardy, and thrives in almost any situation. One of the best or the perennials. 15 cents each. Dlcentra Spectabilis—Bleeding Heart. A hardy perennial plant with rose-colored flowers in great abundance. One of the best border plants. Perfectly hardy and easily cultivated. Two feet high. Flowers in April and May. Price, 25 cents each. Daisy Pink Perfection. A beautiful pink variety. 15 cents. Helianthus Multiflorus. Double Golden Sunflower. A double perennial "Sunflower." It is a great addition to our hardy herbaceous plants. Its dark golden yellow color is both fashionable and beautiful for cut flowers, and planted singly or in clumps on the lawn it gives a splendid effect. The plant grows about three to four feet high, bearing numerous large golden heads of flowers as large as Dahlias, continuing in bloom until frost,.and will be much prized as corsage flowers. Give it a trial, and you will be surprised and delighted to find how beautiful it is—never needs to be replaced; is a hardy perennial, coming up every year. Price, 15 cents each. Iris (Fleur de Lis). The rainbow hues of these grand flowers rival the finest orchids. Deemed worthy by the kings of France to be placed on the royal banner. We offer the improved Japanese varieties, which far surpass the older kinds. Assorted colors, 20 cents. (ANEMONE cJAPONICA.) The Japanese Wind-Flowers are here to stay, and as they become better known, will be more highly appreciated. It is one of the handsomest of the hardy her- baceous border plants, of vigorous growth, with rich dark-green foliage, and produc- ing a great profusion of handsome flow- ers on long stems. The flowers are two to three inches across, with a center of dense, lemon-colored stamens — are of great merit for cutting, and very stylish for corsage wear. They commence to open their rich-colored blossoms in August, and con- tinue in beauty until cut by frost. They are perfectly hardy, and, although not new, their many good quali- ties have brought them into popular demand, the great beauty of the flowers attracting unusual attention wher- ever exhibited. No garden is complete without this beautiful plant, and it is also one of the best for cemetery plant- ing. The engraving outlines the chief characteristics, but fails to portray the rare beauty of the flowers. We offer them in two colors: ALBA. Large, pure white, lemon yellow stamens. ROSEA. Kich deep rose, yellow stamens. Strong Blooming Plants, 15 cents each, two for 25 cents. Astilbe Japonica. Hardy everywhere. Incomparably the most beautiful of hardy herbaceous plants, growing about two feet high, in compact shape, with handsome foli- age, from above which rise its panicles of small, feathery, white blossoms, the embodi- ment of grace and delicacy. Can be bloomed readily in winter. Give the plant a half- shaded position. Price, 15 cents. Azalea Mollis. The most brilliant and showy of all hardy shrubs—exceeding even the Rhododendron—and entirely hardy without protection in all situations. The bloom, which varies in color from the most intense rosy crimson to lemon yellow, literally covers the compact, spreading plant, forming a huge bouquet, and which remains in perfection for a long time in May and June. Massed, they produce an effect that is actu- ally dazzling. Price, 60 cents each. The New Giant, Double-White Daisy Snow-Crest. A wonderful im- provement on all existing sorts. This cut can give it but faint jus- tice. Its habit of growth and size of flowers, in comparison with older varieties, is gigantic. The flowers,which are borne on stout, stiff stems from six to ten inches long, are the pur- est white, and full to the center. When fully de- veloped they rise to a conical or sugar-loaf form, and well-grown specimens will cover a silver dol- lar. It makes an admirable, hardy garden plant, or may be forced for
