FERRY'S SEEDS 



SCARLET RUNNER BEAN [hA-10 ft.) Brilliant 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 excellent green shell Beans. 

 Hence it fills' a dual role, being valuable for food as well as 

 for ornament Lb. 40c; pkt. 10c 



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 effective growth. Finely cut fresh green 

 foliage forms a pleasing background for the loose sprays of 

 delicate flowers. The seed germinate readily, and the 

 plants start flowering within a few weeks. They are fine for 

 picking. 



Dr. Badger's Strain of Hybrids A beautiful collection of 

 large flowered hybrids with dainty markings, chiefly in the 

 lighter tones or pastel shades. 



Retusus Mixed A relatively brilliant type in shades of 

 crimson, blue, and purple, with vivid golden blotches. 



Each of the above: 34 oz. 75c; pkt. 10c 



Sea Dahlia (See Leptosyne) 



Sea Lavender (See Statice) 



Sea Pink (See Armeria) 



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.

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 decoration 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 A fine floriferous sort with large flow- 

 ers, long seasoned J^ oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Hybridum Maximum Alaska Somewhat later in blooming, 

 but the flowers are of extra large size Pkt. 15c 



Siberian Wallflower (See Cheiranthus) 



SMI LAX (Myrsiphyllum Asparagoides) [tP-C-6 ft.] No 

 twining chmber in cultivation surpasses this in graceful 

 beauty of foliage. Unfortunately its susceptibility to cold 

 permits it to be used outdoors only in a mild climate while 

 in the North it needs to be grown inside. It supplies fine 

 long sprays of small, glossy, green leaves which keep 

 several days without wilting and make fine decorative 

 material Pkt. 10c

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-Uke 

 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 sur- 

 prisingly dainty and interesting.
