PUDOR’S DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST 
PHYSALIS—Japanese Lantern 
Francheti. This wonderfully dec¬ 
orative plant is easy to grow 
and multiplies rapidly. A big 
money maker that will yield 
more than any other outside 
crop. The fruits are becoming 
more popular each year for 
decorative purposes in the 
early fall and winter. The color 
of these lantern fruits is 
orange-vermilion and are ever¬ 
lasting after drying. Single 
plants produce as many as 
thirty lanterns that sell read¬ 
ily in any flower market. They 
are beautiful for home decora¬ 
tion, being everlasting. Strong 
roots 20c each; $2.00 per doz. 
SALVIA ULIGINOSA 
A late flowering perennial plant from Mexico. Of outstanding beauty, which sends 
up its graceful, branching sprays, of gorgeous blue flowers to a height of 
seven feet or more during September and October. Coming from Mexico it is 
none too hardy, although our plants growing here have stood in the open 
with a little covering of litter over their crowns. Strong plants 25c each. 
NEW MINIATURE HYBRID TRITOMA 
An entirely distinct species from the common Tritoma or “Red Hot Poker” 
as it is commonly called. Beautifully attractive flowers smaller in size than the 
older type, decidedly more graceful and dainty, and with a much greater range of 
colors and shadings. Clear reds, pinks, yellows, salmons, and other soft shades 
predominate together with glorious combinations of these colors. The flower stems 
are slender and are splendid for cutting. In bloom from early spring to late sum¬ 
mer they are particularly effective for garden display. Useful for planting in the 
rockery, along walks or terraces, in the perennial bed or in any sunny position. 
Tender perennials. Strong division in blooming size, 30c each, 4 for $1.00; $2.75 
dozen, postpaid. 
SCABIOSA—PINCUSHION FLOWER (Family: Dipsaceae) 
The One Plant that is in Continuous Bloom from Early Spring Until Killed by 
Frost, and a Most Charming, Lasting Cut Flower for the House 
S. Caucasica. Isaac House’s finest Hybrids. Hardy perennial; many new shades 
of lilac and deep blue; prized for cuttings; 12 to 18 inches, 25c and 35c each; 
advanced seedlings, that will bloom profusely this summer $1.50 per doz.; 
6 for 85c; 15c each. 
These plants are true perennials and are all perfectly hardy, but they require 
dividing every two or three years to obtain the best results. They will not come 
true from seed, although seeds saved from the best varieties produce startling 
advances. Plants bloom all summer long, until killed by frosts. 
Seed should be sown in a frame or cool greenhouse in March or April, and 
the seedlings transplanted into their flowering quarters in May or early June.

SPIREA FILIPENDULA 
A hardy perennial, fern-like foliage with tall sprays of small cream-white 
flowers. Height 2 feet. An uncommon plant. 35c, 3 for $1.00.
