DIDISCUS (Blue Lace Flower) [hA-2H ft.] Because of its 

 easy culture this dainty flowering plant deserves a much 

 wider use in home gardens. Florists everywhere appreciate 

 its grace, Vjeauty, and merit as a cut flower. The clusters 

 of slender flower tubes with petals expanded are like 

 miniature lace parasols. They are a charming shade of 

 heavenly blue.

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 climber 

 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 purjjlish 

 seed pods.

 some background for the multitude of blossom clusters. 

 These carry m.any small rose-colored pea-shaped flowers 

 and purplish pods H oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



ERIN US [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 Gilliflower) [hA-12 in.] This plant 

 shows off gorgeously if the gardener will plant it thickly 

 in the bed or border. The upright flower spikes bear clusters 

 of small four-petaled blossoms of an intense orange color. 

 It is easily grown, blooms for a long time, and the perfumfed 

 flowers are quite suitable for cutting.

Emerald Feather (See Asparagus sprengeri) 



English Daisy (See Bellis) 



ESCHSCHOLTZIA (California Poppy) [hA-12 in.] California 

 glories in this, its state flower, and today it is planted 

 everywhere. It blooms profusely all summer. The plants 

 grow in tufts, and the blue-green foliage is very lacy. The 

 long tapering buds expand into handsome saucer-shaped 

 blossoms. We specialize in these flowers, and several vari- 

 eties are of our introduction. 



Autumn Glory The flowers are very large and double. The 

 outside of the petals is brilliant orange-crimson, and the 

 inside is coppery orange. They are beautifully frilled.

EUPHORBIA Plants with colorful foliage are often welcomed 

 in the garden or border to contrast pleasingly with those 

 that have all green leaves or as a change from plants that 

 are grown chiefly for their flowers. These plants are espe- 

 cially 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. . 32 oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



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

 As though the plant were on fire is the effect 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 M oz. 45c ; pkt. 10c 



could well be used in a border like this.
