NOVELTIES FOR 1921-22, continued 
and probably as far north as Philadelphia. Their hardiness will have to be tested 
farther north, but they are well worth the trial. 
Dudleya csespitosa has several closely clustered rosettes and yellow flowers. 20 cts. 
each, $2 per doz. 
Dudleya Mendocino Coast, unnamed, has very thick leaves tinted bright red and 
yellow flowers. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Dudleya Plattiaua has thin leaves and its much-branched flowering stem and 
flowers are rich coral-red. The leaves are well tinted red. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Dudleya pulverulenta grows to as much as a foot across. The thick leaves are 
heavily powdered with a white flour, and the striking stems are a foot high with a yellow 
and coral tint. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Dudleya Purdyii makes large groups, foliage powdered white and singularly 
marked. 50 cts. each. 
Dudleya Sheldonii makes a close rosette of rounded leaves powdered white and the 
flowers are yellow. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
ERYSIMUM (Cheiranthus) linifolia, Lavender is entirely new. It flowers early 
and freely and comes highly recommended. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
FELICIA rosea I have offered before but it deserves special mention. A rapid trailer 
it will hang over a wall 2 to 3 feet or cover an unsightly object in a hot place. The 
many pink daisies are borne for a long period. A good rock plant. 25 cts. 
GAILLARDIAS are common enough but for this new Crimson Gaillardia extra 
mention is deserving. The flower is of large size and a rich crimson barely tipped 
yellow. It has won high commendation. My plant cost me $5; I charge 50 cts. each. 
GYPSOPHILA repens monstrosa is a dainty, very low creeper which is covered with 
small white flowers in summer. A fine border or rock-plant. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
In HELIANTHUS angustifolius I offer a most charming plant. Unlike most Sun- 
flowers, the leaves are smooth and shining. The long, narrow foliage clothes the slender 
stem to its top, giving the very graceful light yellow flowers a beautiful setting. It 
makes a charming cut-flower. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
HOSACKIA bicolor is pea-like, a foot or so high, with an attractive flower in which 
the upper lip is very bright yellow, the lower white. It likes moist soil and is worth 
while. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
LINARIA dalmatica makes a stout plant 2 to 3 feet high and forms clumps of many 
stems, bearing a profusion of large bright yellow flowers. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
POTENTILLA, Miss Willmott might be mistaken for a tall flowering strawberry. 
The flowers are bright rose-cerise and very charming. Geum and Potentillas are closely 
related. Potentilla amahnoides is bright yellow. Both at 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
THALICTRUM aquilegifolium, the Feathered Columbine is not new but so seldom 
seen that it might well be. The stout, well-foliaged plant, 2 to 3 feet high, is handsome, 
and the purplish feathery flower is still more attractive. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
In THYMUS albus we have a very dwarf sort with smooth, light green foliage and 
small white flowers. The plant is scarcely an inch high. Clumps 25 cts. each. 
Thymus has slightly woolly leaves and makes flat, dense masses a foot or more 
across. A splendid rock-plant. 25 cts. each.
