 of 8 to 10 feet the first season. When once established, it 

 may grow from 40 to 50 feet in a season. The large, bright 

 green leaves afford excellent shade, and the climber is 

 further embellished with small clusters of rosy pea-shaped 



flowers. It will thrive in the poorest soil

 soms. The colors are very satisfying, for they range from 

 pure white through soft shades of lavender and pink to 

 brilliant hues. They bloom from early summer until fall.

LATHYRUS, Latifolius (Perennial Sweet Pea) [hP-C-5 ft.] 

 This sturdy vine with luxuriant pea-like foliage is often 

 called Perennial Sweet Pea, although it is entirely lacking 

 in fragrance. The handsome flowers, also pea-shaped, are 

 borne in large clusters of 8 or 10 each; they are somewhat 

 thick and waxy in appearance. The vine may be trained 

 upon a support, but it is also well adapted to scramble over 

 rocks and other rugged places. The plants are of simple 

 culture and bloom for a long period, although in a northern 

 latitude they die at frost to renew growth in the spring.

LAVATERA (Annual Mallow) [hA-3 ft.] The showy flowers 

 and large downy leaves of these annual Mallows produce a 

 decorative effect in hedges or borders. The large cup-shaped 

 blooms, two to three inches across, are borne on short stems 

 in the axils of the upper leaves. They bloom profusely dur- 

 ing the entire summer and make long-keeping cut flowers. 

 In habit they are rather spreading, but this is an advantage 

 as they may be sown late to fill a vacant spot following 

 spring flowers.

 Splendens Rosea Bright rose pink flowers.

LAVENDER (Lavandula Vera) [hP-2 ft.] This is the lavender 

 our grandmothers grew and dried for placing among their 

 linens. Now it is used not only for sachets, but also in mak- 

 ing perfumes, and sometimes for seasoning. It is a pleasing 

 addition to the home garden, too, because of the feathery 

 appearance of the delicate gray foliage, the little lavender 

 blue flowers, and the dainty fragrance. A native of dry, 

 sandy wastes, this plant may easily be cultivated in any 

 garden soil. (See Lavandula spica, page 47.) .... Pkt. 10c 



LEPTOSYNE (Sea Dahlia) [tP-20 in.] This California sea- 

 side plant with succulent divided foliage will thrive in a 

 sunny situation. It starts to bloom in 90 days. The large 

 daisy-like flowers with their bright yellow petals surround- 

 ing a golden disc make splendid cut flowers. They continue 

 to blossom tlirough a long season. In a mild climate the 

 plant is hardy, but in the North it should be started early 

 and planted out when the weather is settled. 

 Maritima Pkt. 10c 



LILIUM, Regale [hP-3 ft.] Lilies from seed are perfectly 

 hardy and will furnish fine flowers the second season and 

 thereafter. OccasionaUy in a mild climate they bloom the 

 first year. This exquisite variety is one of the finest in 

 existence. The delightfully scented trumpet-shaped flowers 

 are white, slightly tinged with pink, and flushed yellow at 

 the throat. Blooming early in July it is welcome in the 

 garden and equally desirable for early forcing. . . .Pkt. 15c
