Orthocarpus Purpurascens—Owl Flower. Clus¬ 
tered flowers of vivid rose purple, relieved by 
the golden anthers. The individual florets are 
so shaped as to remind one of a blinking owl, 
hence the name. Odd but pretty. Pkt. 10c; 
special pkg. 25c. 
Pansy Hiemalis—This Pansy strain has been se¬ 
lected particularly for winter hardiness and 
for early blooming. It will flower earlier in 
the spring and stand more cold than any 
other Pansy we have seen. Large flowers in 
a fine color range. Pkt. 15c; special pkg. 35c. 
Phlox Chamois Rose—Clusters of rather large 
flowers, clearest salmon pink, the beauty en¬ 
hanced by the pure white eye. 10 inches. For 
bedding or cutting. Pkt. 10c; special pkg. 25c. 
Polygala Lutea—Orange Milkwort. I doubt that 
there is a more brilliant orange in the floral 
world than the thick soft elongated “clover” 
clusters of this flower. It is long blooming, 
and a delight all through the summer months. 
Touches of it will light up a border, or in 
mass it fairly radiates waves of glorious 
shimmery color. Pkt. 20c; special pkg. 50c. 
Polygonella Articulata—Tiny white blossoms that 
age to rose, are carried in enormous profusion 
on the almost leafless stems. Very pretty 
for mixing with other cut flowers; also makes 
a good winter straw-flower, the rose-red 
bracts being long persisting. Pkt. 15c. 
Sabbatia Stellaris—Rose of Plymouth. A lovely 
flower, with blossoms of the purest pink, a 
lemon yellow inner star being outlined with 
carmine edging at the base of the five petals. 
12 inches. Pkt. 25c; special pkg. 60c. 
Salpiglossis Purple and Gold—Not really a very 
new or rare sort, but many more should know 
it, and grow it. Large velvety purple bells 
with golden lacings. 3 feet. It fits equally 
well for garden decoration or for cutting. Pkt. 
10c; special pkg. 25c 
Salvia Coccinea Alba—An unusual species with 
plumes of pure white flowers. Very fine. 
Pkt. 20c; special pkg. 50c. 
Salvia Purple Prince—Flower plumes of deep 
Tyrian purple. Very striking. Pkt. 25c; spe¬ 
cial pkg. 60c. 
Scabiosa Loveliness—Splendid large flowers of 
pure salmon pink. Long stems. Particularly 
good for cutting. Fragrant. By the way, 
Scabiosas are said to attract many of the 
more beautiful Butterfly species. Pkt. 10c; 
special pkg. 25c. 
Tithonia Speciosa—Called “Golden Flower of the 
Incas,” why, I do not know, since it is orange 
scarlet rather than golden, and comes from 
Mexico, not Peru. Anyway, there are few 
flowers more showy. The blooms remind one 
of a Sunflower, but more of a Zinnia, yet they 
are different, and showier than either. Tall 
and robust. Use for screen planting or back¬ 
ground. Pkt. 15c; special pkg. 35c. 
Verbesima Encelioides—A showy and effective 
long blooming summer annual. Large, deep 
yellow, single flowers. Three feet. Pkt. 10c.
