THE "ANNUAL" PERENNIALS 
Of course there can be no such thing, yet this 
whimsical name does, in a way, apply, since the 
kinds listed below can be brought into bloom the 
first season, providing the seed is sown early. 
Nevertheless they are all hardy and enduring 
perennials that should live for years. 
ADENOPHORA LILIFOLIA — Swaying spire 
stems that are hung with bells of lovely violet, 
the plants spraying into veritable fountains of 
bloom. A pleasant, quick perennial. Pkt. 15c. 
CARYOPTERIS INCANA—Each of the many 
stems bears successive whorls of dense but deli¬ 
cately stamen-fluffed flowers. In the typical 
form these are the clearest of blues, but pure 
white and pearly pink variations have appeared. 
This mixture contains seeds of all three color 
forms. Blooms from August to October. Fine 
for cutting. Three feet. Protect with straw or 
leaves in winter. Pkt. 15c. 
CHERRY SUNBRIGHT—Fairy-like blossoms of 
vivid cherry rose, gold stamened, in sprays that 
seem to float in air, so thin and near-invisible are 
the carrying stems. Below are tangles of succu¬ 
lent leaves, like thick green pencils. Botanically, 
it is Talinum calycinum. Pkt. 20c. 
CODONOPSIS CLEMATIDEA—A lovely half¬ 
trailer for the rock garden. Also grown as a 
house plant, or in porch boxes. Drooping white 
bells, veined with peacock blue, and zoned within 
with buff and black. Mulch a bit with litter in 
winter. Pkt. 15c. 
GRECIAN POPPY-—Multitudinous slender stems, 
to three feet, carry crinkly silken blossoms of 
glowing apricot orange all summer long; autumn, 
too, until November. Blooms quickly and freely 
the first summer. This is Papaver Heldreichi, 
from the coast hills of Greek Ionia, and the 
Troad. Pkt. 15c. 
LEPACHYS MAROON AND GOLD—Here we 
nave handsome oddity; elongated columns of 
flower-heads, set successively with tiny blossoms, 
and guarded at the base by wide petal-rays of 
richest maroon, edged with gold. Slenderly long¬ 
stemmed, and cuts well. As attractive as it is 
curious. Pkt. 10c. 
VIOLA NIGRA—Called the Black Violet, or 
sometimes the Black Pansy. The little blossoms 
are of a rich darkness, as though snipped from 
black velvet; just the merest hint of violet re¬ 
flection. Blooms quickly and profusely, and will 
naturalize. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c. 
WIND PRIMROSE — One must see an established 
planting of Hartmannia speciosa, with a June 
breeze ruffling the translucent loveliness of its 
three-inch blossoms, to quite appreciate how fit¬ 
ting a common name may be. The flowers are 
white, blush-tinted, or of the purest of soft pinks, 
and last for two or three days. Of course every 
day there are new buds opening, for many weeks 
of late spring; scatteringly again in the fall. 
18 inches. Spreads to form wide tangles. Pkt. 15c. 
WINE CUPS — The big blossom-cups of glowing 
wine-crimson have given Callirhoe involucrata 
this name. It is a spreading trailer, making a 
glorious showing for some two summer months. 
Delights in full sun, and drought has no terrors 
for it. Pkt. 10c.
