ERYTHRAEA —See Centaurium, page 12. 
ERYTHRONIUM —-(Trout-Lily or Dogs Tooth 
Violet) While these are naturally wood¬ 
land plants, they will thrive in shaded 
corners and crevices of rock work. They 
prefer a light, rather moist, but well- 
drained soil, and planted about 3 inches 
deep. With a few exceptions, the foliage 
is richly mottled. The tubers should be 
planted in the fall of the year. 
*citrinum— Almost pure white with strong¬ 
ly contrasting deep citron on lower third. 
10c each. 
*giganteum —Large cream colored flowers. 
10c each. 
*grandiflorum —The leaves of this species 
are not mottled. Flowers are of brightest 
buttercup yellow. 10c each. 
hendersonii —Flowers lovely light purple, 
with centers a deep maroon, almost 
black. 10c each. 
*klamathensis —A dwarf species, near to 
parviflorum. Light yellow with pink tips. 
Choice and rare. 15c each. 
"parviflorum— Bright yellow flowers on 10 
inch stems. 10c each. 
*Pink Beauty— (johnsoni) A very robust 
species with deep lavender pink flowers 
on 15 inch stems. 10c each. 
*Rose Beauty — (johnsoni Pink Gem) A 
very early flowering species with deep 
rose pink flowers. 10c each. 
*tuolemnensis — New and distinct. Very 
large tubers, making offsets. The large 
leaves are not mottled and the golden 
yellow flowers are borne on 15 to 18 inch 
stems very early in spring. Large size, 
25c each. Smaller size, 15c each. Deliv¬ 
ery from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1. 
EUPHORBIA cyparissias —(Cypress Spurge) 
Like a miniature Cypress, with many 
yellow flower-like bracts during the 
summer. A little invasive, but graceful, 
with marvelous autumn tints. 25c each. 
FELICIA petiolata rosea— A desirable trail¬ 
ing plant for a rock wall, hanging down 
from 2 to 4 feet. Small pink daisy-like 
flowers throughout the summer. Needs 
a little protection where temperature 
drops much below freezing. 25c each. 
FERNS —We have divided the Ferns into 
two sect'ons; those which require very 
litt’e, if any shade, and those which are 
true shade lovers. 
Dwarf Rock Ferns —The species listed be¬ 
low require very little shade, unless 
otherwise noted, and will thrive with 
very little moisture after June once they 
have become estaldished. But they do 
require a very well-drained, stony soil, 
with plenty of leaf mold or peat and silt, 
and if possible should be planted so that 
the roots will be protected from the hot 
summer sun by burying the roots under 
a partly submerged rock. We advise 
planting these in spring if possible, and 
not later than end of October in fall. 
*Asplenium parvulum — (A. resiliens. Small 
Spleenwort) A rare species from the 
southern states, with fronds 6 to 8 inches 
long. 50c each. 
*A. platyneuron — (Ebony Spleenwort) Nar¬ 
row, black-stemmed fronds, 6 to 10 inches 
long. 35c each. 
*A. trichomanes — (Maiden-Hair Spleen¬ 
wort) Fronds densely clustered, 8 inches 
long and about one inch wide. 25c each. 
*Cheilanthes alabamensis — A very rare 
species from Alabama with short, dainty 
fronds. Requires a northern or eastern 
exposure. 75c each. 
*C. californica — Somewhat more robust 
and taller growing than C. gracillima. 6 
inches. 50c each. 
*C. gracillima — (Lace Fern) A dwarf, com¬ 
pact form, with 4 inch fronds. Prefers 
northern or eastern exposure. 50c each. 
*C. lanosa — The slightly hairy fronds are 
6 to 8 inches long and about 2 inches 
wide. Very fine. 35c each. 
*C. siliquosa — (Formerly listed as Pellaea 
densa) A very dwarf and compact Fern 
which can withstand full sun and much 
drought once established. Finely cut 
wide, dark green fronds, 6 inches. 25c 
each. 
*C. tomentosa —The upper surface of the 
segments are covered with brownish- 
white hairs or wool. The fronds are 8 to 
12 inches long. 35c each. 
*Pellaea andromedaefolia — (Coffee Fern) 
One of the most distinct and interesting 
species of our native Ferns. The leaves 
are from 6 to 12 inches long and 3 to 5 
inches wide, and are very different from 
other Ferns. 50c each. 
*P. atropurpurea — A drought resistant spe¬ 
cies with grey-green, black-stemmed 
fronds, 8 inches long. 50c each. 
*P. brachypteris — The blue-green fronds 
resemble a sprig of fir, 6 to 8 inches 
long. Very distinct. 50c each. 
*P, bridgesi— Formerly sold as P. breweri. 
We obtained this Fern from a California 
collector, who assured us that it was the 
true P. breweri. As he has the reputa¬ 
tion of being one of the foremost author¬ 
ities on our native flora, we took his 
word without investigation. The plants 
were without much foliage when we re¬ 
ceived them. But when they made their 
new growth in the spring we were con¬ 
vinced that we had P. bridgesi, not 
breweri. The pinnae are glabrous, gray¬ 
ish green, glaucous, and broadly ovate. 
75c each. 
*P. ornithopus — (Bird-Foot Fern) Rather 
stiff foliage, shaped like b'rd track, 8 to 
10 inches long. 50c each.
