FOR THE BEGINNER 
The easier kinds for those without particular experi¬ 
ence in growing things, are marked with key letter 
“e.” Many rare and beautiful sorts are so marked, 
and I would suggest that beginners confine their 
selections to such; at least until they have gained 
experience. Of course “e” means only kinds that 
are relatively easy when cultural directions are fol¬ 
lowed. It is possible to fail even with radishes, 
if they are sown at the wrong time, or in the wrong 
way. 
SISYRINCHIUM MEADOW BLEND—ernmh(2) 18. A 
mixture of fully hardy species in lavender, steel blue, indigo 
and violet. Recommended for meadow naturalizing, or 
along streams, but worthy the rock garden. A field of these 
in flower, with a bit breeze about, is like a rippling sea of 
blue. Sow much of it. Pkt. 10c; Y% oz. 35c. 
SOLANUM CRISPUM — ebx (2) 100. Clusters of pretty 
soft violet flowers, followed by yellow berries. Decidedly 
attractive. Stem shrubby, branches herbaceous. From Chile, 
and rare. Pkt. 20c. 
SOLANUM TUBEROSUM—ek. True Potato. Seedlings 
will give curious, and possibly valuable, new forms. The 
variations will surprise. Pkt. 15c. 
SOLIDAGO CANADENSIS—cbnh(4-5)60. Showy, with 
panicles of deep yellow bloom. Pkt. 10c. 
SOLIDAGO VIRGAUREA—cbh(4)35. European Golden 
Rod. Spreading, crowded flower-sprays of deep yellow. 
Handsome border perennial. Pkt. 15c. 
SOLIDAGO WESTERN SP. — cbh(5)48. Many wand- 
stems, each shingled reversely with tight green leaves, and 
ending in long bottle-brush clusters of sunshine yellow. This 
may be Solidago elongata. Anyway, it is good. Pkt. 15c. 
SORBARIA AITCHISONI—qfsth(3)84. Branching pan¬ 
icles of fluffy white. Handsome. Afghanistan. Pkt. 15c. 
SPARTIUM JUNCEUM—qbdnh(3-4) 90. Spanish Broom. 
Whip-like branches of vivid greenness, but almost without 
leaves. These carry many fragrant blossoms in yellow but¬ 
terfly form. Seems winter-hardy on Long Island. Pkt. 15c. 
•SPECULARIA PERFOLIATA—eodnk(3)20. Odd little 
annual for naturalizing, with rather pretty violet flowers. 
Pkt. 10c.

fluffily pink. Really good. Pkt. 15c.
