•TITHONIA SPECIOSA — eocbtk(6)72. Great gorgeous 
flowers of orange scarlet, with golden reverse. The plants 
are leafy and bushy, and while blooming does not begin 
until autumn, the plant growth is quick, so a use for screens 
or backgrounds is suggested. Seed offered is third plant- 
generation northern grown, selected for earliest bloom. 
See illustration, page 2. Pkt. 15c. 
♦TITHONIA TAGETAEFLORA—eocbtk(4-5)50. Here the 
blossom-color is a true orange rather than a scarlet, the 
plants do not grow as tall, and the. size of the flower may 
be a trifle less. In compensation, the blooming season is a 
month to six weeks longer, beginning that much earlier. 
New. Pkt. 15c. 
♦TORENIA BLEND — eorbk(4-5) 12. Its richly velvety 
blossoms suggest in form and coloring, that manifest ab¬ 
surdity, a cross of Pansy and Snapdragon. They are sky- 
blue and royal purple, touched with gold; or sometimes 
white, marked rose. For beds, borders, window-boxes or 
even as a pot plant. Pkt. 15c. 
TRADESCANTIA BLEND—erbnh(8)6-30. Hardy Spider 
Lily. An everblooming perennial of great beauty and eas¬ 
iest possible culture. The blossoms last but a day, but 
they are produced prodigally, day after day, for months. 
The plant is a spendthrift in bloom. This blend contains 
not only many diverse species, but also seeds of highly 
varying hybrid strains. There will be purest white, pink, 
rose, rosy purple, mauve, lavender, blue and violet; plants, 
tall or dwarf, downy-leaved or blue powdered. Pkt. 15c. 
TRADESCANTIA BRACTEATA—-erh(l-2) (5)8. Clustered, 
up-facing blossoms of pure rose-pink, through May and 
June, and a bit into July. Then there is a rest, with an¬ 
other pretty showing of bloom after the fall rains come. 
Dwarf. Particularly good. Pkt. 20c. 
TRADESCANTIA BRACTEATA BLUE — erh(l-2) (5)8. 
Good blue flowers. Recommended for rock garden. Pkt. 20c. 
TRADESCANTIA OCCIDENTALIS RUBRA—erbh(8120. 
Rosy carmine. Foliage silvery glaucous. Good. Pkt. 20c; 
oz. 35c. 
TRAILING ARBUTUS 
Epigaea repens. Prettiest and almost rarest flower of 
early spring, with pink-and-white bloom like daintier apple- 
blossoms, endowed with the sweetest of tantalizing per¬ 
fumes. The evergreen foliage is highly decorative, undulate, 
leathery in graining, and with olivine depth and richness of 
coloring. Sow seed in mixture of sand and sifted acid¬ 
bearing fibrous material, such as leaf-mould, peat, or sphag¬ 
num moss. A bit slow. Have patience. See illustration, 
page 45. rnstay(l)5. Pkt. 25c. 
EPIGAEA ASIATICA—rnstay(l)8. Oriental Trailing Ar¬ 
butus. Same requirements as above, but larger blossoms, 
longer-stemmed, and with a coppery sheen to the foliage. 
A rarity. Pkt. 30c. 
TREE EVERGREEN BLEND 
A mixture of seeds of conifers. Fir, Pine, Spruce, Hem¬ 
lock, and the like, together with Ginkgo, Larch, Yew, 
Cedar, etc. Some of these naturally germinate quickly. 
Others may take months. Do not disturb seed-bed until at 
least one winter has passed. Not less than Ys oz. sold. 
Ys oz. 15c; Ya oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
HARDY TREE BLEND 
Seeds of broad-leaved trees, mostly deciduous, but a few, 
such as certain Magnolias, Holly, etc., are broad-leaved 
evergreens. Seeds of coniferous evergreens, such as Pines, 
are not included. See Tree Evergreen Blend for such. Some 
of the kinds in this mixture naturally germinate quite 
quickly; others are much slower. Do not disturb seed-bed 
until at least one winter season has passed. Not less than 
Ya oz. sold. Ya oz. 20c; 1 oz. 60c. 
TRIADENUM VIRGINICUM—ernmath(3) 18. While this 
plant is far from spectacular, it. has such complete balance 
and finish throughout that it will appeal to those who see 
beauty in approach to perfection, rather than in gaudy 
color-spreads. The blossoms are of the silkiest of pinks, 
laid over with silvery haze, but they are not large enough 
to make a great showing. The autumn effect is brighter, 
for each flower is followed by a conical seed-pod of rich¬ 
est velvety maroon, held for a full two months. Pkt. 15c. 
TRICHODIADEMA DENSUM—htw(7-l) 5. Upright ro¬ 
settes of succulent leaf-cylinders, each terminating in a dia¬ 
dem of glistening spines. Large flowers of feathery white. 
Dry capsules containing many seeds, each 25c. 
TRICHOSTEMA LANATUM—bdfh(2-3)50. Romero of 
the Spaniards. Clusters of bright blue blossoms at intervals 
up the stems, a lightly veiling pink silkiness giving an 
iridescent sheen to the petals. Aromatic. Pkt. 20c 
TRICYRTIS HIRTA—cbsth(5)36. Flowers like quaint 
Lilies marbled violet-rose on white, are carried in the 
axils of each leaf. An attractive perennial for rich half- 
shade. Established plants may carry a hundred blossoms. 
See illustration, page 31. Pkt. 15c; xV oz. 35c. 
TRIFOLIUM ALPINUM — erh(2)6. Ornamental clover 
from alpine moorlands. Enormous heads of pink flowers 
pretty rather than handsome. They carry, though, such a 
pervading, pungent sweetness, the very fragrance, heady 
and rich, of the sun-ripened grape, that the breath of bloom 
from a turf-spread of the Mountain Clover will near in¬ 
toxicate. Pkt. 20c. 
TRILLIUM or WOOD LILY 
The Trilliums are delightful for shady places, or for 
naturalizing in rich woodland. The rockery that is not 
too sunny will be enriched by them, rnszy(l). 
TRILLIUM ERECTUM — The flowers vary from rose, 
through red, to plum-purple. Pkt. 20c; Ys oz. 60c. 
TRILLIUM GRANDIFLORUM— The large and handsome 
flowers open white, gradually filling with pink, until they 
deepen at last to richest rose. A charming species. 20 
inches. Pkt. 20c; Ys oz. 60c. 
TRILLIUM LUTEUM—The flowers are really a soft yel¬ 
low, not deep, but far beyond anything that might be called 
cream. Lightly marbled foliage. It is my first offering of 
this truly rare species. Pkt. 25c. 
TRILLIUM OVATUM — Big, showy blossoms, snowy 
white, but soon suffusing with pink. Pkt. 20c; Ys oz. 60c.
