YUCCA 
Exotic appearing but readily handled plants of 
considerable ornamental value. 
Yucca Aloifolia (b)—Slender upright tree-like 
trunks topped with clusters of dagger-shaped 
leaves, and in season, creamy drooping bloom 
in dense panicles. Hardy with care in shel¬ 
tered spots to New Jersey. Pkt. 15c; special 
pkg. 35c; X A oz. 75c. 
Yucca Filamentosa (a)—Adam’s Needle. Not 
really a succulent, but usually considered one. 
Ornamental dagger shaped foliage, above 
which rise in June great spikes of creamy 
white flowers 6 to 10 feet high in well grown 
plants. Entirely hardy, and seed comes up 
quickly. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
Yucca Glauca—The earliest blooming Yucca, 
throwing closely filled three-foot spikes of 
large flower bells. Sometimes it grows a 
short tree-like trunk, which, however, lies 
prostrate, the rosette of tough leaf spikes 
rising from its tip. Entirely hardy. Pkt. 15c; 
special pkg. 40c.

massive snow-white bloom sometimes rise to a

gray leaves, themselves 4 to 5 feet long. Requires 
a sunny position and protection north of Wash¬ 
ington. Pkt. 20c; special pkg. 50c. 
TRUE WILD FLOWER BLEND 
I have blended the seeds of more than one 
hundred different kinds of Wild Flowers, collected 
separately, to make up this mixture. Included 
among them are Fringed Gentian, Wintergreen, 
Windflower, Meadow Beauty, Birdsfoot and 
Golden Violets, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Golden Aster, 
Wild Sweet William, Vernonia, Eupatorium, Blue 
Bell, Dutchman’s Breeches, Wild Rose, Datura, 
Star Flower, Chinese Houses, Quaker Ladies, 
Columbine, Sabbatia and many others as de¬ 
lightful. While chiefly American, a few kinds 
from temperate climates of other continents are 
included. The annuals in the mixture will make 
a good showing the first season, the perennial 
kinds in the second and succeeding years. Won¬ 
derful for naturalizing, but I recommend some 
preparation of the ground, and of course sowing 
in beds and transplanting, will give best results. 
Remember, some kinds germinate in just a few 
days, _ others may take weeks or months. Do 
not disturb too soon. Not less than Vs oz. sold. 
% oz. 20c; 14 oz. 35c; 1 oz. $1.25 % lb. $4.50. 
THE PASSION FLOWER 
Passiflora Edulis—Granadilla. A robust vino 
with splendid white flowers, sometimes con¬ 
sidered to have religious significance, and frag¬ 
rant deliciously flavored fruits. Hardy south, 
elsewhere under glass. Pkt. 25c; spec. pkg. 00c.
