CARL PURDY, UKIAH, CALIFORNIA Old Canterbury Bells or " Cup-and-Saucer' ASTERS, Michaelmas Daisies. These perennial Asters grow to a height of from 2 to 4 feet and bear great numbers of pretty, daisy-like flowers in blues, pinks and purples. While not so good for borders, they naturalize well and will hold their own with the wild growth on moist stream banks, or any moist place, and will bloom splendidly with little care. Blues and purples, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. Novae-Angliae Soft pink. 25c. ea. Culture.—In the border divide to a few strong sprouts each winter, manure and work well and good results will be had. Aquilegias, or Columbines No hardy plants combine more good points than this lovely genus. With handsome foliage, graceful habit, dainty yet showy flowers, they are very hardy and resist drought well. For the shaded fern bed, rockwork in shaded dells, or naturalizing on slopes among trees, there are no better plants; while in the mixed border they are as good. Groups of a half dozen or more a foot apart each way show much better than single plants strung along. Culture.—While Columbines grow well in either sun or shade, in almost any fair soil, as long as well watered while growing, they do their very best in a moist soil, rich with leaf-mold, and in light shades. I offer strong plants of all. Sure to do well. A. ccerulea. The Rocky Mountain Columbine which has the airiest of long-spurred flowers, with sky-blue spurs and white center. It is not a strong grower, but well worth while. Strong plants, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. A. coerulea alba. As pretty as the last and a fine, strong grower. Flowers are white flushed pink. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. A. chrysantha. A beauty and a fine grower, light yellow. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. A., WoUey Dod Hybrids. Most exquisite long-spurred hybrids from England. In many colors, mixed. Each, 25 cts. A. eximia. A Californian species which blooms in midsummer with very showy, short- spurred, orange flowers. It likes a wet place and will thrive on the water's edge or in raised places in bogs, but also does well with ordinary treatment. New. Collected plants, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. A. truncata. This is the ordinary wild Columbine of California, with red flowers. A fine thing and the thing to naturalize in woods. Collected plants, 15 cts. each, $1.20 per doz., $7.50 per 100. A. flavescens. A very tall sort, and in rich soil with moisture, very showy; flowers yellow. Growing to even 6 feet in height. 25 cts. each. A. nivea. A strong-growing, short-spurred sort from Europe, with pure white flowers. A most satisfactory plant. 25 cts. each. Special. Leave alone, only giving a coat of leaf mold or old manure every year. CALENDULA, or MARIGOLD. Very fine plants ready to flower, of the best double yellow. A showy flower to mass, and blooms very early; each 10 cts., 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100. CHRYSANTHEMUM maximum, Triumph. Something like the Shasta Daisy. It grows a foot high with long stems, each bearing a single white flower 3 to 4 inches across Fine for cut-flowers. A splendid plant. Each 15 cts. COREOPSIS lanceolata grandiflora. One of our best yellow flowers, wonderfully free blooming. Small plants, 60 cts., per doz.; strong plants, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.
