S ABB ATI A AN GUL ARIS —cmy 18. A bit differ¬ 
ent from S. stellaris, but surely just as lovely. It 
is all pink, without the contrasting inner star, 
and the plants, while taller, flower more com¬ 
pactly. Good for cutting. Pkt. 25c; spec. pkg. 60c. 
SALPIGLOSSIS PURPLE AND GOLD—ec36. 
Large purple bells, overlaid and laced with bur¬ 
nished gold. Pine for garden decoration, or sur¬ 
prisingly effective as a cut flower. Pkt. 10c; 
spec. pkg. 25c. 
SALVIA CARDUACEA—el8. A most odd and 
distinct Salvia, with thistle-like leaves, the whole 
plant covered with soft silvery down. The flower 
heads are tangled webs of silky gossamer, from 
which push out the daintiest of sky blue blossoms 
with wavy edges. It is both curious and pretty. 
Pkt. 10c; spec. pkg. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
SCABIOSA BLUE COCKADE—ec36. A marvel¬ 
ous new giant, with flowers of a clearer blue 
than any before. It is a shade between the tur¬ 
quoise of the Gentian and the deep blue of the 
summer sky. Sweet-scented, and a great cut 
flower. Pkt. 20c; spec. pkg. 50c. 
SCABIOSA LOVELINESS—ec36. Splendid 
large fragrant flowers of pure salmon pink. Par¬ 
ticularly good for cutting. By the way, Scabiosas 
are said to attract the more beautiful butterflies. 
Pkt. 10c; spec. pkg. 25c. 
SESAMUM ALATUM—Rose Sesame. A recom¬ 
mended South African annual with pink flowers, 
that I have not myself grown. Pkt. 10c. 
SILENE ASTERIAS GRANDIFLORA—ecrbl8. 
Clusters of flowers like rose-colored bugles are 
carried on many leafy stems above succulent 
blue-green rosettes. Very good. Pkt. 15c. 
STROPHOSTYLES UMBELLATA—edr4. A 
pretty trailer for the rockery, or to curtain a dry 
bank. Makes a close covering of emerald green 
leaves, studded with rosy purple flowers that 
change to pink-tinted buff. Pkt. 25c. 
SWEET PEA CUPID GRANDIFLORA—e8. Not 
at all new, but nevertheless rare, chiefly because 
it has been overlooked. It i3 too dwarf for cut¬ 
ting, but it will make a solid mat or edging of 
bloom in the most varied and delightful of col¬ 
orings, and it has the true Sweet-pea fragrance. 
Pkt. 5c; y 2 oz. 10c; 1 oz. 15c. 
TKELESPERMA BURRIDGEANUM — ecd24. 
The flowers remind one of Calliopsis, but they 
are both more brilliant, and richer in effect. A 
glowing royal maroon is sharply edged with radi¬ 
ant golden orange, but the reverse of the flowers 
shows only a deep red bronze. The stems are 
long and graceful, and the blooms cut particu¬ 
larly well. Very easy. Pkt. 10c; spec. pkg. 25c. 
TITHONIA SPECIOSA—cd60. Called “Golden 
Flower of the Incas”, why, I do not know, since 
it is orange-scarlet rather than golden, and comes 
from Mexico rather than Peru. Anyway there 
are few flowers more gorgeous. The blooms re¬ 
mind one of a Sunflower, but more of a Zinnia, 
yet they are different and showier than either. 
It should be started early. Pkt. 15c; spec. pkg. 35c. 
TORENIA BLEND—erlO. If one were to judge 
by appearance, they would say that Torenia was 
possibly a cross of Snapdragon and Pansy. Of 
course it is nothing of the kind, but the flowers 
are just as oddly beautiful as though it were.
