downy blossoms, lemon and purple. An exceeding rarity. 
Recommended for trial. Pkt. 20c. 
IN SPRING, THE SCILLA 
Pleasant, faithful bulb-flowers of the spring. All are 
of full hardiness, save Scilla peruviana, which needs protec¬ 
tion, and is, in any case, likely to give greatest joy as a 
pot plant. 
SCILLA BIFOLIA—urzy(l)12. Sprays of nodding bells, 
cobalt blue, varying to white and red-violet. Pkt. 15c.

naturalizing beneath trees. Blue, white and rose in mix¬ 
ture. Fragrant. Pkt. 15c; 54 oz. 35c.

blossoms of sky-blue, sometimes fifty to one hundred of 
them in a single wide-spread, but closely packed, cluster. 
Spectacular. Quicker from seed than other Scillas. A de¬ 
lightful house plant. Pkt. 20c. 
SCILLA SIBIRICA — crnstzy(1) 10. Siberian Bluebell. 
Daintiest and hardiest. Of a vivid and distinctive coerulean 
indigo. Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 40c.

SCILLA BLEND—A mixture of the above. Not less than 
54 oz. sold. 54 oz. 35c; 54 oz. 65c. 
SCOTTISH HEATHER — qcbnd(h)y(3)30. Calluna vul¬ 
garis. A home-like evergreen shrub, as hardy and adapt¬ 
able here as on the sunny heaths of its native Scotland. 
The rosy flowers are carried in erect racemes. Heather 
thrives on dry banks in full sun, but will also tolerate light 
shade. Cut branches dry well for winter bouquets. Seed 
in chaff. Pkt. 15c; 54 oz. 35c. 
SCUTELLARIA ALPINA — erx(3) 10. Like a glorified 
and spreading Prunella, but larger blossoms of deep violet, 
cream or rose. Pkt. 15c. 
SCUTELLARIA BAICALENSIS—*erx(3-4) 15. One-sided 
spikes of big blossoms that are mighty close to sky-blue. 
A quick perennial of real beauty, that I can most heartily 
recommend. Blossoms first year in annual fashion, but en¬ 
dures. This is Coelestina variety. Pkt. 15c. 
THE SEDUMS 
These are the very type of desirable and hardy succu¬ 
lents; in color and form of thick, brittle foliage almost as 
diversified as the Cacti. Like Cactus, too, they are inter¬ 
esting always, not just when in flower, though when sheeted 
in starry bloom there can be no doubt but that the charm is 
enhanced. Mostly, they are of easiest possible culture. 
SEDUM ACRE ELEGANS — erph(3)3. Silvered succu¬ 
lent green. Tiny golden blossoms. Poor soil. Pkt. 15c. 
SEDUM ALBUM—erph(3)6. Splendid species with thick 
mats of succulent foliage, maroon in winter. Sprays of 
rather large flowers, which may be either white or rose- 
pink. Pkt. 15c. 
SEDUM ANGLICUM—erh(3)3. Mats of flat blue-green. 
Little stars above, white or peach-tinted. Bulb cover. 
Pkt. 15c. 
♦SEDUM CAERULEUM—eorpgk(3-4)2. Annual. Lovely 
minute blue stars all summer. Pkt. 15c. 
SEDUM KAMTSCHATICUM—erbh(3)10. Orange Crown. 
Thick ovate leaves of shining green. Rather large flowers 
of brilliant golden orange, in big, close clusters, hollow- 
crowned. Pkt. 15c. 
SEDUM PILOSUM—erh(2)3. Loveliest of Sedums, with 
fat rosettes that simulate Sempervivum. In June there are 
flower-stems set with crispy foliage in close imbrication, 
and bearing dome-clusters of delectable waxy-pink bells, 
up-facing. Has biennial tendencies, but self-renews through 
natural seedage, so this is no drawback. Pkt. 25c. 
♦SEDUM PULCHELLUM—eormlt(2)4. A pretty annual 
with brittle leaves of pale green, tinged in autumn with 
mahogany. Soft pink blossoms, particularly starry, in 
loosely arching sprays. Sow seeds of this in late autumn 
or early spring. Pkt. 20c. 
[ 41 3 
SEDUM SPECTABILE—ebh(4)18. Showy Sedum. Many 
fat stems, set with big, notched leaves, all dusted with blue- 
tinted silver. Then come long-lasting blossom clusters of 
great size; pale rose usually, but there may be anything 
from softest pink to brilliant rosy carmine. It attracts, 
butterflies. Pkt. 15c. 
SEDUM STENOPETALUM—erh(2)5. Dense tufts of fat 
foliage, close sprays of pale pink above. Pkt. 15c. 
SEDUM STOLONIFERUM—ergh(3)6. Excellent trailer. 
Foliage of emerald richness in summer; bronze tones when 
winter comes. This is var. coccineum, with blossoms of 
rosy crimson. Pkt. 15c. 
OFFER 117B7—One pkt. each of above for $1.40. 
SEDUMS MIXED—You will get wide variety here, many 
unusual species aside from those offered separately. Pkt. 15c. 
SEMPERVIVUM BLEND—erbsth(3). Short thick leaves 
in compact rosettes, often red-tinged. In the spider-web 
form, the entire plant, seems knit with silvery gossamer 
filaments. Oddly thatched stalks carry attractive flowers, 
usually in yellow, buff, or tawny red. Seed chaffy, being 
fine and hard to clean, but saved from a large and most 
variable collection, and will give excellent results if sown 
while soil is cool. Pkt. 15c. 
SENECiO or GROUNDSEL 
♦SENECIO ARENARIUS — eorbdx(3-5) 18. Called the 
Annual Cineraria, and it is a close relative of the florists’ 
Cineraria, and very like it in effect. The blossoms are in 
vivid rose, lilac, lavender, violet and purple, and it blooms 
for many months. Easy in full sun. Pkt. 15c. 
SENECIO CANUS—erndh(2)9. Tufted mats of spoon¬ 
shaped leaves, frosted with down. In May, hundreds of 
little yellow daisies. Pkt. 15c. 
SENECIO CLIVORUM OTHELLO—ecbx(3)48. Deepest 
orange two-inch flowers in great clusters, high over decor¬ 
ative purple-shaded foliage. Splendid. Pkt. 15c.

Great long-stemmed lavender daisies. Good. Pkt. 15c. 
SENECIO GREYI—qlth(3)50. Terminal cymes of golden 
stars. Excellent New Zealand species. Pkt. 25c. 
OFFER 118B7—One pkt. each of above for 75c. 
♦SESAMUM ALATUM—eobk(3-6)72. Stately plants, worth 
growing for accent, even were they bloomless. Flowers there 
are, though, rather pretty if none too plentiful, unsym- 
metrical trumpet-urns of pensive buff-rose. Pkt. 15c. 
SHOOTING STAR—See Dodecatheon. 
SHORTIA UNIFLORA—rnatsth(y) (1)8. Rambling branch¬ 
es that carry handsome glossy foliage, above which rise 
blossom bells of tender pearly pink. A treasure of exquisite 
loveliness. It needs humus-filled soil; and kindly patience. 
Pkt. 20c. 
HARDY SHRUB BLEND 
Seeds of very many interesting kinds in mixture. Some 
will germinate within a few weeks, others may take months. 
Do not disturb seed-bed until at least one winter season 
has passed, in order to give all a chance to come. Special 
large pkg. 15c; 54 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
SIDALCEA FOR THE BORDER 
SIDALCEA CANDIDA—ebdh(3)40. Here the flowers are 
white, carried in rather spike-like racemes. Recommended 
for the hardy border. Pkt. 15c. 
SIDALCEA MALVAEFLORA BLEND — ebx(2-3)60. 
Satiny, translucent flower-cups that may be purest pink, rich 
rose, or lilac-lavender. Variable, but delightful always. 
Dependable border perennial. Pkt. 15c. 
SIDALCEA NEOMEXICANA—ebdh(3)36. Pretty blos¬ 
soms of diaphanous pink, on many swaying stems. Some¬ 
times gives second crop of bloom in late autumn. Despite 
its air of delicate fragility, this is a drought-resistant and 
thoroughly hardy perennial. Pkt. 15c. 
SIDALCEA OREGANA—ebx(3'>60. Flowers of silken 
deep rose in close spikes. Pkt. 15c. 
OFFER 119B7—One pkt. each of above for 50c. 
SILENE DUSK-BLOOMING BLEND—*erbx(2-4). Silenes 
might be broken, horticulturally, into the brilliantly colored 
day-blooming class, (see next page), and the more pensive 
dusk-blooming section. In this latter group the flowers may 
be pure white, but often they show gentle tintings, cream, 
with suffusion of buff, brown-roseate reverse, or flushing of 
softest pink over tan. The blossoms open at earliest hint 
of dusk, and then for an hour or two, the garden takes on 
demure charm. Really quite variable in bloom, foliage and 
form. Pkt. 10c; special pkg. 25c.
