Plant Everlastings! 



SEDUM (Stone Crop) [hP-R-3 in.] In semi-arid spots, in crevices of 

 walls, and in rock gardens this low tufted plant thrives admirably. 

 At first a multitude of stalks spread from the base of the plant, then 

 finally stand erect and are covered with tiny light green fleshy 

 leaves. In early summer this mossy growth is blanketed with small 

 star-shaped blossoms of golden yellow.

STATICE (Everlasting) (Sea Lavender) [hA-2 ft.] This Everlasting 

 of unusual beauty is often seen in florists' shops. It is easily grown 

 and can grace the home garden border as well as furnish fine cut 

 flowers either in the green or dried state. The plants thrive in a 

 sunny location where the soil is quite poor, and they need only a 

 minimum of moisture. 



Sinuata This type forms a low rosette of Dandelion-like leaves from 

 which rise several stiff, angular stalks. These branch toward the 

 tops and bear dense groups of blossoms in graduated rows along 

 their curving tips. They are surprisingly dainty and interesting.

 Any one of the above: 34 oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Suworowi (Rat Tail) Distinct, Russian sort with base of broad 

 curled leaves and stalks producing many loiig, tail-like spikes of 

 densely clustered rosy blossoms Pkt. 10c 



SCARLET RUNNER BEAN [hA-10 ft.] BrilHant sprays of scarlet 

 pea-shaped blossoms decorate this rapid growing pole or runner 

 Bean. "The large leaves form a dense mat of foliage. Following the 

 vivid flowers, the plant bears long pods of superior flavor although 

 somewhat stringy, and when more mature it produces green shell 

 beans excellent for table use (see p. 8) Lb. 40c; pkt. 5c 



SCHIZANTHUS (Poor Man's Orchid) [hA-18 in.] Myriads of dainty 

 blossoms like butterflies or tiny orchids crowd these delightful 

 plants. In the garden or for pot culture they make very efi'ective 



I growth. The seed germinates readily, and the plants start flowering 



1 within a few weeks. They are fine for picking.

 flowered hybrids with dainty markings, chiefly in the lighter tones 

 or pastel shades K oz. 50c; pkt. 10c

Sea Pink (See Armeria) 



Sensitive Plant (See Mimosa) 



SHASTA DAISY (Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum) [hP-2 ft.] To 

 Luther Burbank we owe much for the glorification of our common 

 field Daisy. It is a hardy plant bearing large white, single blooms 

 with handsome yellow centers. They are valuable for border deco- 

 ration and especially pleasing in bouquets. If the early buds are 

 pinched back, the mass of foliage will be improved while the later 

 flowers will be materially increased in size. 



Hybridum Maximum

 M oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Hybridum Maximum Alaska Somewhat later in blooming, but the 

 flowers are of extra large size Pkt. 15c 



STEVIA [tP-2 ft.] To mix with more colorful blossoms in bouquets, 

 Stevia is one of the best of the small flowering plants. Slender stalks 

 carry toothed leaves of light green and bear quantities of tiny clear 

 white blossoms faintly scented. Botanically this is "Piqueria 

 Trinerva." Although it is hardy in a mild climate, it flowers so 

 promptly after sowing that it should be used as an annual.

 blossoms is the very "backbone" of the rock garden.
