KING OF PENTSTEMONS 
Serried clusters of largest flower-trumpets full and 
graceful, nearly all of them open at once and for a long 
time. The coloring is just over the line from blue, approach¬ 
ing a pure, cool, orchid-lavender. Glaucous leaves, thick 
and crispy. It is,_of course, Pentstemon grandifiorus, shown 
on the cover drawing of this folder. A sure, hardy and easy 
species, superbly showy. Pkt 15c; ^ oz. 25c; y 8 oz. 40c, 
Z A oz. 75c. For seeds of 35 other Pentstemons, see General 
Catalog No. 27. 
CERTAIN BULB SEEDS 
The bulbs and bulb-like plants listed below, may be grown 
from seeds with fair readiness, providing the sowings be 
made in late autumn, open ground seed-beds or cold- 
frames, germination taking place in the spring. For many 
others, see Catalog No. 27. 
COLCHICUM LUTEUM — Rare spring-blooming species 
from Kashmir, with great golden star-chalices of flowers. 
Pkt. 20c. 
IXIOLIRION MONTANUM—Splendid bulb that should 
be better known. Grows readily from seed. Described page 
six, this list. Pkt. 20c; -fa oz. 40c. 
TREE PEONY—Shrub-like, with woody branches. Giant 
flowers, single to fully double in form, in wonderful color 
range. 10 seeds for 25c; 50 for 90c. 
EREMURUS BLEND—The magnificent Fox-tail Lily. Su¬ 
perb spikes, to eight feet, packed with hundreds of star- 
flowers in white, pink, rose, yellow and coppery orange. 
25 seeds for 20c; 100 seeds for 65c; 500 seeds for $3.25. 
MUSCARI ARGEAI—Compared with the usual Grape Hya¬ 
cinth, this one flowers later, lasts much longer, and has 
blossoms of greater substance and purity of whiteness. 
Rather rare, but extra good. Pkt. 20c. 
CAMASSIA CUSICKI—Tallest of The Camas Lilies, with 
closely filled spikes of great stars in variations from palest 
blue, through lavender and orchid, to azure. Reminds one 
of an Eremurus in blue. Pkt. 20c. 
ALSTROEMERIA AURANTIACA—-Clustered blossoms of 
burnished gold, rich and dark. Long stems. Give some 
protection. Pkt. 15c. 
THE GORGEOUS IRISES 
Irises may be grown from seeds with the greatest of 
readiness, providing the seeds are sown outside in late au¬ 
tumn, germination taking place in the spring. In my 
General Seed Catalog No. 27 I offer seeds of 82 separate 
Iris species and hybrid strains. There ar# some mighty 
fine kinds among them. 
IRIS AVALON BLEND 
For those who do not care for the kinds separately, I 
have made up a mixture of seeds of all the Irises that I 
stock, not in equal proportions of course, some are too 
rare for this, but at least a little of each has been used, 
with much of many, to produce a balance of color and 
form that cannot, I believe, be excelled. Mere is the op¬ 
portunity to secure fine Irises in quantity. Special large pkt. 
15c; V 8 oz. 25c; *4 oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.25; *4 lb. $4.00; 1 lb. 
$14.50. 
THREE DESIRABLE HOUSE-PLANTS 
STAPELIA BLEND—Starfish Flower. Thick, leafless, jag¬ 
ged stems, with huge thick-petalled flowers in bizarre tim¬ 
ings. Easy; different. Pkt. 20c. 
STRELITZIA REGINAE—Bird of Paradise. Great, oddly 
poised, flowers of blue and gold. See illustration. 15c per 
seed; 3 for 40c. 
AMARYLLIS PEERLESS HYBRIDS—Seed saved only 
from giant flowering plants. Should give blooms in a mar¬ 
velous diversity of colorings and markings. Botanically, it 
is, of course, Hippeastrum. Autumn, by the way, is about 
the best time of year to sow Amaryllis seeds. 15 seeds for 
25c; 50 seeds for 75c. 
HOUSE PLANT SURPRISE 
Here you are due for delightful amazement. Seeds of very 
many different house plants in one great mixture. Many 
decidedly unique, all good. Includes Poinsettia, Stapelia, 
Aloe, Pelargonium, Cineraria, Kangaroo Paw, Shower of 
Gold, etc. Extra-size packets, 25c each.
