LIATRIS SCARIOSA — Many stem-wands, to 
three feet, carrying great fluffy tassels of flowers, 
lavender-lilac to rich purple and loosely spaced. 
A most showy tuberous-rooted perennial of full 
hardiness. Effective in border, or for cutting. 
Unlike most other plants, the top-most buds of 
Liatris are first to open; thus it blooms progress¬ 
ively downward. 20c each; 3 for 50c. 
HYMENOCALLIS — Big flowers of fragrant 
whiteness, more or less cup-shaped, but with long 
and ragged-edged guard petals. The blossoms 
are carried in umbels of two to five on twenty- 
inch stems. Excellent for cutting, or for garden 
decoration. Likely two or more very similar 
species here, but so near alike that the differ¬ 
ences would interest only a botanist. Of easiest 
culture. Dig and store in late autumn. 3 for 
35c; 9 for $1.00. 
VARIEGATED BULB GRASS—A pretty orna¬ 
mental grass with striped and variegated leaves. 
Excellent for edgings, or for border clumps. 
Botanically it is Arrhenatherum elatius tubero¬ 
sum 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 we do. 
Hardy. 18 inches. Grows from Crocus-like tubers. 
8 for 25c; 25 for 65c; 45 for $1.00. 
TIGRIDIA BLEND—The exquisite Shell Flower. 
Blooms over and over again, from late summer 
to latest autumn. Blossoms of brilliant showi¬ 
ness, rich scarlet, deep yellow and blush apricot, 
self-hued or splashed with contrasting color. 
Rarely there is rose, pink, white or lavender, but 
these colors are in much smaller proportion in 
the blend. Dig in late autumn, and store in sand 
in a frost-proof place over winter. 3 for 25c; 
7 for 50c; 15 for $1.00. 
CINNAMON VINE—Handsome vine with glossy 
foliage and sprays of little white flowers, delic¬ 
iously cinnamon-scented. Fully root-hardy and 
permanent. Quick growing. Effective on trellis, 
or will make a fence into a living wall of green¬ 
ery. 3 for 25c; 10 for 70c. 
MONARCH OF THE EAST—Sauromatum gut- 
tatum. An Arum Lily with spectacular foliage, 
enormous digitate leaves carried high on richly 
marbled stems. Does excellently in the garden. 
Dig and store in autumn. In early spring the 
dry tubers, before being planted, throw great 
flower-spathes, rose-tinted ivory, purple streaked. 
After blooming, the tubers may be planted out. 
Size “B,” 60c each; 2 for $1.00. 
APIOS TUBEROSA — Pretty tuberous-rooted 
vine, of fullest hardiness. The blossoms are 
clusters of butterfly flowers, resembling those of 
Wisteria, but richly chocolate-hued. A rapid 
grower. Likes deep rich soil that does not dry 
out too much; will tolerate some shade. The 
tubers are edible; of excellent quality, prepared 
in any potato fashion. Called Hardy Potato, and 
has been suggested for commercial growing as a 
food crop, but it is offered here primarily as an 
ornamental vine. 15c each; 3 for 40c. 
TUBEROSE EARLY MEXICAN — Tall and 
graceful stems carry many trumpets of thick 
and brittle waxen whiteness, these with the rich 
fragrance of the orange blossom. This particu¬ 
lar Tuberose is sure to bloom effectively over a 
long season. Unexcelled for cutting. Mighty 
nice in the border, too. Dig and store. 10 for 
40c; 22 for 75c.
