♦TAHOKA DAISY — ocrbk(y) (8)20. Blue-lavender. For 
summer cutting. See page 2. Pkt. 15c. 
TALIHUM or SUNBRiGHT 
The Sunbrights are dainty succulents of unusual attrac¬ 
tiveness and easiest culture. Sown early, they will flower 
first year. Fully winter-hardy at New York, but should 
they be frozen out in exposed positions further north, this 
matters little, for there are always self-sown seedlings com¬ 
ing on, to keep up the succession of bloom each season. 
They are truly Sunbright, for they need the sun to open 
their brilliant blossoms. 
TALINUM CALY CINUM—*eurdh(3-4) 12. Cherry Sun¬ 
bright. Brittle pencils of leaves, silver-powdered green, in 
erratic tangle. The blossoms, of luminous cherry rose, are 
carried in airy sprays, on stems so slender as to be near¬ 
invisible, giving the effect of flowers floating in air. Highly 
recommended. Pkt. 20c. 
TALINUM PARVIFOLIUM—erh(8)9. A pretty little Sun¬ 
bright, with pink blossoms of the airiest. Pkt. 20c. 
TALINUM RUGOSPERMUM — *erdj (3-4) 12. Prairie 
Sunbright. Much like the above, but not tuberous, and with 
flowers of soft pink. Pkt. 25c. 
TALINUM SPINESCENS—*erdh(3)7. Spiny Sunbright. 
Stems, branching and succulent, end in leaf clusters like fat 
fir needles, these mingled with odd spiny mid-ribs that 
persist as reminders of the leaves of the previous year. The 
rose-red blossoms, yellow-stamened, are carried in open 
wiry-stemmed sprays. Pkt. 25c. 
OFFER 125B7—O no pkt. each of above for 75c. 
TENDER TALINUMS 
While perennial, these are not winter-hardy. They make 
excellent pot plants, or may be grown as garden annuals, 
since they flower first year. Sow when soil is warm. 
TALINUM PANICULATUM—htw20. Many tall panicles, 
filled with little coral stars. Foliage of glossy fatness. Pkt. 20c. 
TALINUM PATENS—ehtw. There are few more satis¬ 
factory pot plants than this. The foliage is thick, glossy 
and succulent: with many panicles of pretty carmine blos¬ 
soms above. Pkt. 20c. 
TAXUS BACCATA FASTIGATA—qjy. Irish Yew. Leaves 
of dark green spiral the branchlets. The branches are 
crowded to column effect. Desirable evergreen for formal¬ 
ities. Hardy to about Massachusetts. Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 30c. 
TAXUS CUSPID AT A—qjy. Japanese Yew. Luxuriant 
dark green foliage. Usually shrub-like, with spreading up¬ 
turned branches. For foundation planting. Hardy to Can¬ 
ada. Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 30c. 
TECOMA RADICANS—vh 20 ft. Showy Trumpet Vine. 
Terminal clusters of handsome orange trumpets. Hardy 
Pkt. 10c; J4 oz. 20c. 
TELEKIA SPECIOSA—ebdh(2)48. Enormous long-rayed 
daisy blossoms like golden suns. Plant for bold and for¬ 
ward handsomeness. Pkt. 15c. 
TELLIMA GRANDIFLORA—bnsh(2)30. Wands of little 
fringed blossoms, white or pink-tinted, above decorative, 
wavy-margined, bronze-shaded foliage. Pkt. 20c. 
TEMPLETONIA RETUSA—htw(7). Showy scarlet flowers. 
Meritorious conservatory plant. Pkt. 20c. 
TEPHROSIA VIRGINIANA—erbcndh(2) 18. Silver Pea 
Blossoms in tones of lemon, saffron and ecru, shading into 
rose and purple, cluster in gregarious profusion. Below 
there are foliage fountains silvered with down. Of full 
hardiness. Prefer light soil. Pkt. 20c. 
*TETRANEURIS LINEARI FOLIA — eorbndk(8) 16. 
Pretty buttery daisies, mostly petalage, spring on long 
stems from tangles of narrow leaves. Pkt. 20c. 
TEUCRIUM CHAMAEDRYS—erbdh(4)20. Leaves leath¬ 
ery and glossy, with dainty flower-spikes of rose in late 
summer. Left to itself, its branches spread about with that 
graceful naturalness that is so pleasing in the larger rockery, 
but if closely clipped, the plants may be trained to make 
the most rigidly formal of low edging hedges. Then it 
gives an effect like that of dwarf Box, but its green has an 
added richness, and it is hardier, and comes on more 
quickly than any Box. Evergreen, of course. Pkt. 15c. 
THALICTRUM AQ UILEGI FOLIUM—rbh(2)25. Sprays 
of delightful fluffy tassels, creamy lilac to amethystine pur¬ 
ple. Airy “aquilegia” foliage. Pkt. 15c. 
THALICTRUM DIPTEROCARPUM—cbmh(3-4)50. Mag¬ 
nificent sprays of rose-lilac blossom-fluffs. Pale yellow an¬ 
thers. Pkt. 15c. 
♦THELESPERMA BURRIDGEANUM — eocbdx(3-5) 24 
The flowers remind one of Calliopsis, but they are more 
brilliant, and richer in effect. A glowing maroon is sharply 
edged with radiant golden orange. Pkt. 10c. 
[ 44 ] 
THERMOPSIS CAROLINIANA—ebdsth(y) (2)60. Showy 
border perennial, like a great Lupine, with spikes of glossy 
golden yellow blossoms. Of fullest hardiness. Recom¬ 
mended. Pkt. 10c; *4 oz- 30c. 
THERMOPSIS MOLLIS — rbndst(h)y(2-3)30. Blossoms 
of polished yellowness in terminal spikes. Effective in bor¬ 
der, or, if properly placed, in the large rockery. Good. 
Pkt. 5c; 54 oz. 30c. 
THOMSONIA NEPALENSE—euftmstk(w) (1)20. A cur¬ 
ious Arum Lily, with marbled stems, ornamental foliage, 
and rose-colored flower-spathes. On the order of Amor- 
phophallus, but quicker, and easier. Pkt. 20c. 
THUJA OCCIDENTALIS—jh 60 ft. Arborvitae. Lacy 
foliage. Varies, but usually a narrow pyramid. Specimens, 
windbreaks or hedges. A favorite in formal plantings. 
Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
THUJA ORIENTALIS AUREA—qjh. Compact shrub- 
evergreen. Golden globes in spring, then brightest green. 
Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
THUJA PLICATA—jh 200 ft. Giant Arborvitae. Splendid 
tall tree, with cinnamon-bark trunk, ruggedly buttressed. 
The branches are horizontal, but with pendulous tips, rather 
short. The whole effect is of a narrow, sky-reaching pyra¬ 
mid of glossy green. Pkt 15c; 54 oz. 35c. 
THYMUS BLEND—ergpx(3)4. I like the Thymes. They 
have an air of elfin daintiness about them; an exquisite, and 
aromatic, grace of foliage and delicacy of blossom that 
seems to fit them particularly to the rock garden, the wall 
crevice, or the terrace pavement. But beyond this, they 
will carpet, slow-spreadingly, any open space, or cushion a 
bank. I have some fourteen species and varieties of Thyme 
growing at my seed-gardens, but the seed yield is so 
minute that I am listing only a mixture of all of them. As 
variable as they are desirable. Pkt. 20c. 
TIARELLA CORDIFOLIA—rbnsth(l-2) 16. Foam Flower. 
Little white blossoms in airy open racemes, above big 
handsome leaves, these richly hued in autumn. Hardy, 
but forces nicely. Good. Pkt. 15c. 
TIGRID1A or SHELL FLOWER 
Blossoms like brightly lighted, triangular, winged shells, 
such as might be found, but probably never are, along the 
coral strand of some southern sea. These are bulbs of 
easiest culture, growing readily from seeds sown in shaded 
open ground seed-beds in spring, and sometimes even flow¬ 
ering first season from seed if grown thriftily enough. The 
bulbs should be dug in late autumn, and carried over 
winter in the cellar, packed in dry loam or sand. *euftrbk. 
(3-5)24. 
TIGRIDIA ALBA—White, with silken gloss. Pkt. 20c. 
TIGRIDIA GIANT PINK—Splendid, but varying, shades 
of pink and rose. Pkt. 20c. 
TIGRIDIA LILAC—Lavender, shaded rosy lilac. Pkt. 20c. 
TIGRIDIA LUTEA IMMACULATA — Rich yellow, no 
markings. Pkt. 20c. 
TIGRIDIA RED PEACOCK — Bright red, sometimes 
patched with yellow. Pkt. 20c. 
OFFER 126B7—One pkt. each of above for 90c. 
TIGRIDIA WONDER BLEND—The big blossoms are 
tinted in varied hues, often with a half-translucence, or 
sometimes with a gloss-finished opacity. There may be 
yellow, pale or deep, or with tingings of a pink-hinting 
apricot. Then there will be real pink, with rose, red, orange, 
lavender and white. Often the petals are marked with 
vividly contrasting colors. Please note, though, that there 
will be more of red and yellow, than of the other com¬ 
binations. Still there should be a liberal proportion of all 
in a sowing of any size. Pkt. 15c; 54 oz. 50c; 54 oz. 90c; 
1 oz. $3.00. 
ANNUAL FLOWERS—If you want quick blos¬ 
soms, then try those kinds marked with a star (*) 
before the name. They will give delightful garden 
bloom within a few weeks after sowing. 
TILIA AMERICANA—jy 120 ft. Linden or Basswood. 
An attractive street tree, valuable also for timber, and the 
fragrant blossoms as bee pasture. Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 20c; 
1 oz. 55c. 
TILIA TOMENTOSA—jy 100 ft. Silver Linden. Most 
handsome tree, with silvery, downy leaves. Particularly 
resistant to heat and drought. This species not for bee 
pasture. Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 25c. 
*TINANTIA FUGAX—eok(htw) (8)50. Stately decorative 
plant for the garden border, or for pot culture under glass. 
Tender perennial, but in the garden it comes quickly into 
bloom from spring-sown seeds, and so far as outdoor cul¬ 
ture is concerned, may be treated an annual. Tends t > ae 
ever-blooming, carrying Commelina-like flowers of pretty 
rose-pink. Easy. Pkt. 20c.
