Larkspur in the New Colors 



LINUM The flax family numbers several varieties with such brilliant 

 flowers that they deserve a place in the home garden. While the 

 life of the individual flowers is short, the continued succession pro- 

 longs the blooming season through the summer.

 ters of saucer-shaped flowers of a glossy bright red with dark 

 centers Oz. 40c

LIN ARIA Flowers which resemble miniature Snapdragons end in 

 single elongated spurs. Both trailing and erect growing varieties 

 are little known but worthy of 

 greater attention. 



Maroccana Mixed [hA-15 in.] An 



erect plant with finely cut foliage 



and with blossoms clustered on up- 



ri^ht spikes. The colors embrace 

 , many shades of crimson, orange, 



and blue. Usually the lower lip is 



white which accentuates the other 



colors. The plant is in flower with- 

 in two months from sowing; it is 



valuable for the border and for 



cutting 3^ oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Fairy Bouquet Mixed [hA-10 in.

 Maroccana strains. The neat 

 little plants are excellent for edg- 

 ings and suitable for rock gardens. 

 We particularly recommend this 

 variety Pkt. 15c 



I LOBELIA Everyone who has planted 

 Lobelias in his garden knows how 

 effective they are. Varieties differ 

 in color and habit, but all of them 

 bear dainty flowers somewhat like 

 tiny butterflies in form. The an- 

 nuals because of their low growth 

 and compactness of foliage are in- 

 valuable for edgings and for use in 

 rock gardens. They are covered 

 with flowers for a long season. 



Celestial or True Blue [hA-4 in.] 

 The finest variety with green foli- 

 age. The flowers are bright blue 

 with tiny white throats. 



Crystal Palace Compacta [hA-4 in.] 



Plants with dark stems and leaves 



tinged with reddish brown. An ef- 



• fective contrast with green foliage.

LUPIN The foliage of all varieties of Lupin is in the form of many 

 lance-like rays about a common center. Pea-shaped blossoms are 

 compactly placed on upright tapering spikes. The plants prefer a 

 semi-shaded spot, and should be sown where they are to remain. 



Hartwegil [hA-2 ft.] Branching in habit, this class forms many 

 fine large flowered spikes and is the best annual type for cutting.

Enrich your garden with these truly royal flowers — the Regal Lilies. 



ILILIUM, Regale [hP-3 ft.] Lilies from seed will furnish flowers the 

 second season and thereafter. Occasionally in a mild climate they

LUNARIA (Honesty, St. Peter's Penny, Money Plant) [hB-2H ft.] 

 Oval seed pods, translucent and silvery, have given this unusual 

 plant its whimsical common names. Sprays of it are ornamental 

 with straw flowers in winter bouquets, and it is chiefly for this pur- 

 pose that it is cultivated. It is a biennial, but it may be treated as 

 an annual if the seed is sown early.
