* TAHOKA DAISY 
Big, splendid daisies of pure blue-lavender, fading to 
rose, with golden yellow centers that stay yellow. The 
foliage is shredded and fern-like, the flower stems of good 
length, and the blossoms carried continuously from mid- 
June until late autumn. Wonderful for cutting, or in the 
border. Summer heat does not stop its blooming. A winter 
annual, and seeds sown in late autumn in open ground, 
usually germinate strongly following spring. Seeds sown 
in spring will also give a fair stand, unless soil temperatures 
happen to be unusually high after sowing, in which case 
they may hang fire a bit, coming rather unevenly, but 
quite surely in the end. This is the most satisfactory 
summer cutting annual introduced in years, and can hardly 
be recommended too highly. Height, 20 inches. Botanically 
it is Machaeranthera tanacetifolia. Pkt. 15c; 54 oz. 60c. 
TALINUM or SUNBRIGHT 
The Sunbrights are dainty succulents of unusual attrac¬ 
tiveness and easiest culture. Sown early, they will flower 
first year. Fully winter-hardy at New York, but should 
they be frozen out in exposed positions further north, this 
matters little, for there are always self-sown seedlings com¬ 
ing on, to keep up the succession of bloom each season. 
They are truly Sunbright, for they need the sun to open 
their brilliant blossoms. 
TALINUM CALYCINUM — *eurdh(3-4) 12. Cherry Sun¬ 
bright. The leaves are brittle pencils of silver-powdered 
green, in erratic tangle. Above are airy blossom-sprays on 
stems so slender as to give the effect of flowers floating 
in air. These, the flowers, are luminous cherry-rose with 
golden stamens. Highly recommended. Pkt. 20c; oz. 90c. 
TALINUM RUGOSPERMUM — *erdj(3-4) 12. Prairie 
Sunbright. Much like the above, but not tuberous, and with 
flowers of soft pink. Pkt. 25c. 
TALINUM SPINESCENS—*erdh(3)7. Spiny Sunbright. 
Stems, branching and succulent, end in leaf clusters like fat 
fir needles, these mingled with odd spiny mid-ribs that 
persist as reminders of the leaves of the previous year. The 
rose-red blossoms, yellow-stamened, are carried in open 
wiry-stemmed sprays. Pkt. 25c. 
TALINUM TERETIFOLIUM — *erdh(3-4) 10. Mountain 
Sunbright. Open panicles of flame pink, particularly airy. 
The leaves are attenuated cylinders of crispy green succu¬ 
lence. Good. Pkt. 20c. 
OFFER 87A6 — One pkt. each of the four for 80c. 
TALINUM BLEND—Five species of Sunbrights in mix¬ 
ture. These are the easiest of rockery succulents; none 
but the Lewisias exceed them in beauty. Pkt. 20c. 
TAXUS BACCA.TA FASTIGATA —a.jy. Irish Yew. Lcaves- 
of dark green spiral the branchlets. The branches are 
crov/ded to column effect. Desirable evergreen for formal¬ 
ities. Hardy to about Massachusetts. Pkt. 10c; J4 oz. 30c. 
TAXUS CUSPIDATA—qjy. Japanese Yew. Luxuriant- 
dark green foliage. Usually shrub-like, with spreading up¬ 
turned branches. For foundation planting. Hardy to Can¬ 
ada. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c. 
TECOMA RADICANS—vh 20 ft. Showy Trumpet Vine.

ward handsomeness. Pkt. 15c.

Pretty buttery daisies, mostly petalagc, spring on long 
stems from tangles of narrow leaves. Pkt. 20c. 
TEUCRIUM CHAMAEDRYS—erbdh(4)20. Leaves leath¬ 
ery and glossy, with dainty flower-spikes of rose in late 
summer. Left to itself, its branches spread about with that 
graceful naturalness that is so pleasing in the larger rockery, 
but if closely clipped, the plants may be trained to make 
the most rigidly formal of low edging hedges. Then it 
gives an effect like that of dwarf Box, but its green has an 
added richness, and it is hardier, and comes on more 
quickly than any Box. Evergreen, of course. Pkt. 15c. 
THALICTRUM DIOICUM — rbnsth(1-2)25. The little 
blossoms are buff-tinted tassels, hanging from graceful- 
branching stem-sprays. The foliage is unusually attractive, 
blue-and-olive green. Pkt. 20c. 
THALICTRUM DIPTEROCARPUM—cbmh(3-4)50. Mag¬ 
nificent sprays of rose-lilac blossom-fluffs. Pale yellow an¬ 
thers. Pkt. 15c. 
*THELESPERMA BURRIDGEANUM — eocbdx(3-5)24. 
The flov/ers remind one of Calliopsis, but they are more 
brilliant, and richer in effect. A glowing maroon is sharply- 
edged with radiant golden orange, but the reverse of the 
flower shows only a deep red-bronze. Fine-shredded foliage. 
Cuts nicely. Pkt. 10c. 
THERMOPSIS CAROLINIANA—ebdsth (y) (2) 60. Shov/y 
border perennial, like a great Lupine, with spikes of glossy 
golden yellow blossoms. Of fullest hardiness. Recom¬ 
mended. Pkt. 10c; Ys oz. 30c. 
THERMOPSIS MOLLIS —• rbndst(h)y(2-3)30. Blossoms 
of polished yellowness in terminal spikes. Effective in bor¬ 
der, or, if properly placed, in the large rockery. Good. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c. 
THLASPI POESINGENSE — erx(l)6. Dense heads of 
lilac-flushcd “Alyssum” bloom in April. Pkt. 15c.

ious Arum Lily, with marbled stems, ornamental foliage,

phophallus, but quicker, and easier. Pkt. 20c.

short. The whole effect is of a narrow, sky-reaching pyra¬ 
mid of glossy green. Pkt 15c; Yt oz. 35c. 
THYMUS SERPYLLUM CARNEUS — ergpx(3)2. A 
minutely-leaved aromatic creeper, starred with clusters of 
jewel-hke rosy pink. A delight in hot, dry rockeries, pave¬ 
ment or stair crevices; or simply as a ground cover. 
Pkt. 20c.
