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 through 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. Occasionally 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 



LINUM The flax family numbers several varieties with such 

 brilliant flowers that they deserve a place in the home 

 garden. While the life of the individual flowers is short, 

 the continued succession prolongs the blooming season 

 through the summer. The plants have slender foliage and 

 are dainty in appearance. They are quite suitable for 

 growing in beds or low borders. 



Grandiflorum Rubrum (Scarlet Flax) [hA-18 in.] Produces 

 clusters of saucer-shaped flowers of a glossy bright red with 

 dark centers Oz. 40c 



Perenne Blue [hP-18 in.] Of graceful form with arching 

 stems carrying small sky-blue blossoms veined darker blue 



and with light centers Yi oz. 40c

L I N A R I A This interesting species bears flowers which resemble 

 miniature Snapdragons ending in single elongated spurs. 

 It includes both trailing and erect growing varieties which 

 are little known but worthy of greater attention. 



Cymbalaria (Kenilworth Ivy) [hP-C-3ft.] A hardy trailing 

 plant with small bright green leaves and individual flowers 

 of lavender with orange lips. The foliage, which resembles 

 Enghsh Ivy in miniature, is so graceful that the vine could 

 well be grown for this alone. It is especially suited for 

 window boxes and for semi-shaded moist spots in rock 

 gardens Pkt. 10c 



Maroccana Mixed [hA-15 in.] This is an erect sort with 

 finely cut foliage and with blossoms clustered on upright 

 spikes. The colors which are varied embrace many shades 

 of crimson, orange, and blue. Usually the lower lip is 

 white which accentuates the other colors. The plant is in 

 flower within two months from sowing; it is valuable for 

 the border and for cutting, too y^oi. 40c; pkt. 10c 



LOBELIA Everyone who has planted Lobelias in his garden 

 knows how effective they are. Varieties differ in color and 

 habit, but all of them bear dainty flowers somewhat like 

 tiny butterflies in form. The annuals because of their low 

 growth and compactness of foliage are invaluable for 

 edgings and for use in rock gardens. They are covered with 

 flowers for a long season. 



Celestial or True Blue [hA-4 in.] The finest variety with 

 green foliage. The flowers are bright blue with tiny white 

 throats. 



Crystal Palace Compacta [hA-4 in.] Plants with dark stems 

 and leaves tinged with reddish brown. They make an 

 effective contrast with green foliage. The flowers are deep 

 blue.

LUNARIA (Honesty, St. Peter's Penny, Money Plant) [hB- 



23^2 ft] Oval seed pods, translucent and silvery, have 

 given this unusual plant its whimsical common names. 

 Sprays of it are ornamental with straw flowers in winter 

 bouquets, and it is chiefly for this purpose that it is culti- 

 vated. It is a biennial, but it may be treated as an annual 

 if the seed is sown early.

LUPIN The foliage of all varieties of Lupin is in the form of 

 many lance-like rays about a common center. Pea-shaped 

 blossoms are compactly placed on upright tapering spikes. 

 The plants prefer a semi-shaded spot, and should be sown 

 where they are to remain. 

 Hartwegii [hA-2 ft.] Branching in habit, this class forms
