DOLICHOS Beans and peas are familiar members of the pod 

 bearing family to which these ornamental climbers belong. 

 Their attractive foliage and colored flowers make them 

 well liked for decorating arbors, trellises, and small porches. 



Lablab (Hyacinth Bean) [hA-C-10 ft.] This expansive 

 chmber grows rapidly, producing many heart-shaped leaves 

 and numerous erect spikes of pea-like flowers in shades of 

 purple and white. These are followed by equally attractive 

 purplish seed pods.

Lignosus (Australian Pea Vine) [tP-C-12 ft.] A luxuriant 

 tender evergreen chmber of rapid growth only recom- 

 mended for temperate or warm climates. The bright green 

 foliage forms a handsome background for the multitude of 

 blossom clustery. These carry many small rose-colored pea- 

 shaped flowers and purplish pods. . . .]/2 oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



ERINUS [hP-R-4 in.] A crevice in a wall or a semishaded 

 spot in the rock garden may be made gay in late spring by 

 planting this spreading Alpine. Tidy rosettes of leaves hug 

 the rocks while countless tiny spires of white and purplish- 

 violet blossoms rise above them. 



Alpinus Mixed Pkt. 25c 



ERYSIMUM (Afghan GHIiflower) [hA-12in.] This attractive 

 plant shows off gorgeously if the gardener will take pains 

 to plant it thickly in the bed or border. The upright flower 

 spikes bear clusters of small four-petaled blossoms of an in- 

 tense and rich orange color. It is easily grown, blooms for a 

 long time, and the perfumed flowers are quite suitable for 

 cutting.

 introduction.

EUPHORBIA Plants with foliage that is oddly colorful are 

 often welcomed in the garden or border to contrast pleas- 

 ingly with those that have all green leaves or as a change 

 from plants that are grown chiefly for their flowers. The 

 varieties of Euphorbia that are listed here are quite similar 

 in habits, the chief difi'erence being in their colors. The 

 plants are especially good for filling in bare spots in the 

 border. 



Variegata (Snow-on-the-Mountain) [hA-2 ft.] Strange as it 

 may seem, the original haunts of this plant were on the 

 plains and eastward where not a glimpse of a mountain 

 could be seen. At first the leaves are bright green, but as 

 they become mature they are more and more tinged and 

 margined with silvery white. The plant needs sun, but it 

 grows well in poor and quite dry soil. . Y^ oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Heterophylla (Annual Poinsettia, Painted Leaf) [hA-2 ft.] 

 As though the plant were on fire is the efi^ect produced by 

 this variety of Euphorbia. In midsummer the upper leaves 

 become tipped with brilliant scarlet, and those at the crown 

 are all bright red. It is a good summer reproduction of our 

 Christmas poinsettia. It can also be cultivated in pots 

 indoors 34 oz. 45c ; pkt. 10c 



FOUR O'CLOCK (Marvel of Peru), Tall [tP-2 ft] Treated 

 as an annual, this thrifty family produces plants suitable 

 for growing as a hedge or as a low screen along a fence. 

 The green of the leaves is relieved by a succession of brilliant 

 buds and salver-shaped flowers in a fine range of colors. The 

 flowers have an interesting habit — they open in the late 

 afternoon, remain expanded all night, and close again the 

 next morning in the heat of the sun. They bloom from mid- 

 summer to frost, and their roots may be stored over winter 

 and replanted the following spring.
