AUBRIETIA [hP-R-6in.] A dainty dwarf creeping plant that 

 is indispensable to the rock garden. It is also used for bed- 

 ding where a mat of close foliage covered with a blanket of 

 color is desired. It blooms in the early spring, is quite 

 hardy and does well in moderately poor soil.

BALLOON VINE (Cardiospermum) (Love-in-a-puff) [hA-C- 

 10 ft.] The numerous seed pods of this curious vine are 

 inflated pouches resembling balloons. A rapid growing and 

 graceful climber that should have some support for best 

 results. The small flowers are white. It succeeds well in 

 light soil. The botanical name comes from the white heart- 

 shaped spots on the black seeds which are often strung as 

 beads Oz. 30c; pkt. 10c 



BALSAM (Lady's Slipper) [hA-18 in.] These old fashioned 

 bushy plants deserve to return to popularity. They have a 

 great merit in the fact that they do well in partial shade, 

 grow rapidly and stand transplanting when of good size. 

 The double blossoms on short stems nestle close to the 

 central stalk in the axils of the leaves. They require plenty 

 of moisture and should the leaves obscure the blooms they 

 may be trimmed back.

BARTONIA [hA-1 ft.] Though a native of Cahfornia this 

 sort should be better known elsewhere. The handsome single 

 chalice-shaped flowers, their throats decorated with 

 bristling stamens, are golden yellow. The gray thistle-like 

 foliage glistens in the sunshine. They do not stand trans- 

 planting and do best in full sun out of the wind, preferably 

 in a dry spot even in poor soil.

BEGONIA [tP-1 ft.] The everblooming sorts we offer make 

 most satisfactory plants for bedding and are also used 

 largely in pots. They are of sturdy compact growth with 

 glossy foliage and covered with a profusion of bloom. They 

 flower during an extremely long season outside and if 

 taken up will continue to bloom indoors. While preferring 

 rich soil in the sun they will do well even in shady spots.

BELLIS PERENNIS (English Daisy) [hP-R-8in.] These de- 

 lightful little plants are favorites for edgings, low beds, and 

 rock gardens. The leaves form a low rosette above which the 

 blooms are borne singly on rather stiff stems. The button- 

 like flowers are composed of numerous rows of tightly 

 packed petals that virtually hide the daisy center. When 

 established they are profuse bloomers for a long period.

 bearing extra large flowers on relatively long stems.

 httle plants are most attractive in the garden border.

 great profusion through most of the summer and create 

 soft colored spots in a bed. The dainty blossoms are star- 

 shaped with dark centers and resemble Cinerarias.
