SHOOTING STAR—See Dodecatheon. 
SHORTIA UNIFLORA—rnatsth(y) (1)8. Rambling branch¬ 
es that carry handsome glossy foliage, above which* rise

Adaptable and fairly easy plants of rich and varied val¬ 
ues. Here is vividness. 
SILENE ALPINA—*erx(3-5) 18. Pretty white blossoms on

tractive, decidedly. Pkt. 25c. 
*SILENE ASTERIAS GRANDIFLORA—eocrb(3) 18. Clus¬

splendid hardy species. Pkt. 20c. 
SILENE COMPACTA—ecrbx(2-3)24. Verbena-like flowers 
of brightest rose-pink. Excellent in border, or for cutting, 
and its own self-seedage keeps a succession of blooming 
plants from year to year, so we may quite ignore its bi¬ 
ennial nature. Pkt. 15c. 
SILENE FLAVESCENS—*erbx(3)16. The lack of size 
in the blossoms, will, I suppose, disappoint. Still I like

grayness. There may be several flowers of an unbelievable 
pink purity of slivered petalage, rather huge for the plant

brown-toned white. Dainty and friendly. Pkt. 15c.

color at that late season, when there is none too much 
other available. Easy and lavish. Pkt. 10c.

unexpected adaptability to garden handling. Pkt. 20c.

it. Pkt. 20c.

SISYRINCHIUM CALIFORNICUM — *erfx(htw) (8)10. 
Golden Rush Lily. Blossoms of lustrous butter-yellow, sky¬

SISYRINCHIUM GRANDIFLORUM — erbh(y) (2)20. A
