SUNBRIGHT—A hardy tuberous-rooted succulent of most 
alluring beauty, in bloom all summer long. The blossoms, 
of luminous cherry rose, are carried in airy sprays on 
stems so fine as to be near-invisible, giving the odd effect 
of flowers floating in air. The leaves are brittle pencils of 
silver-powdered green in erratic tangle. Grows about a 
foot high. Particularly recommended. Botanically it is 
Talinum calycinum. Each 20c; 3 for 50c; 7 for $1.00. 
DODECATHEON HENDERSONI—Purple Shooting-star. 
The blossoms look as though the plant should be a Cycla¬ 
men, but really it is almost a Primrose. Long-stemmed 
umbels of intensely fragrant flowers that may be delicate 
lavender, true rose, or rich purple. It seems to be of great 
hardiness, and you will like it when it blooms, but I must 
warn you that when you order it, all you will get will be 
a little spidery cluster of dry and brittle roots that look as 
though all life had departed from them. They will grow 
readily enough, though, if you give them a chance. “Play¬ 
ing ’possum” thus is just the plant’s natural way of resting 
through late summer and autumn. 20c each; 3 for 50c; 
10 for $1.50. 
VARIEGATED BULB GRASS—A pretty ornamental grass 
with striped and variegated leaves. Excellent for edgings, 
or for border clumps. Botanically it is Arrhenatherum 
elatius tuberosum variegatum, but don’t let this linear name 
keep the very real beauty of the plant from you. Just call 
it Variegated Bulb Grass, as I do. Hardy. 18 inches. 
Grows from Crocus-like tubers. 8 for 25c; 25 for 65c; 
45 for $1.00. 
WINE CUPS—This is Callirhoe involucrata, a magnifi¬ 
cently showy half-trailer for the front of the border, the 
rockery, the terrace, or to carpet a dry bank. Big cups 
of showy wine-crimson for months. Revels in heat and 
drought. Good solid tubers, each 20c; 3 for 50c; 7 for $1. 
ASCLEPIAS TUBEROSA—Butterfly Flower. Usually bril¬ 
liant orange, but may vary from sulphur to flaming scarlet. 
One-season tubers, ready to bloom. 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c 
MERTENSIA VIRGINICA—Clustered blossoms, pink in 
the bud, open to crinkled silken bells of pure coerulean sap¬ 
phire. Handsome basal leaves of blue-tinged green. Two 
feet or more. Full hardiness. Tolerates light shade, but 
prefers deep rich soil. Spring. 3 for 35c; 10 for $1 00. 
NEW ADVENTURE COLLECTION — Two of Trillium 
ovatum, 1 Lewisia brachycalyx, 3 Blackberry Lily, 3 Purple 
Shooting Star, 8 variegated Bulb Grass, 2 Lewisia rediviva, 
and 3 of Asclepias tuberosa, $2.48 value separately, for 
TWO DOLLARS in the collection. 
EREMURUS OR FOXTAIL LILY 
This majestic Desert Lily, with magnificent flower spikes 
that bear hundreds of bright star-shaped blossoms, pink rose, 
primrose, orange, yellow or copper. Grows eventually four 
to eight feet tall. Fully hardy, but mulch a bit to prevent 
too early growth in the spring. Spectacular in the border. 
ONE-YEAR SEEDLINGS — Sturdy one-season seedling 
roots that, if grown thriftily, may begin to flower in third 
year from transplanting. Available in mixture only; finest 
possible color range, but no colors can be supplied sepa¬ 
rately in this size. 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00; 25 for $2.50. 
FULL BLOOMING SIZE ROOTS of Eremurus can also 
be supplied those wishing quicker effects, at the uniform 
price of $2.25 per root, four roots for $8.25. The following 
varieties are available: Isobel, pink and orange shadings; 
Moonlight, pale yellow; Rosalind, bright pink; White 
Beauty, pure white; Tubergeni, tall pure yellow; Robustus, 
giant early pink. 
THE RARE PLUME HYACINTH 
In this scarce and most unusual variety of 
Muscari comosum, the individual florets are 
transformed into fluffy lilac-shred tassels of de¬ 
lightfully informal and graceful habit. The stems 
are long enough for effective cutting, and in 
garden, border or rockery, the Plume Hyacinth 
gives a touch of unique distinction. Sometimes 
there is not enough of this bulb to go around. 
Don’t order too late. It is, by the way, fully 
hardy, 3 for 25c; 10 for 70c; 25 for $1.60.
