LEWISiA REDiVIVA 
Big blossoms like feathery water-lilies in exquisite pink 
timings, from softest blush to a shade so deep and rich that 
it approaches rose. Petals with the texture of spun silk. Of 
rather easy culture if in full sun, and in well-drained position, 
but don’t let frost heave roots out on surface during winter. 
Note also that it is natural for the tubers to be dry-soft 
when you receive them, but every one of them should grow 
if given any sort of fair chance. To me, Lewisia rediviva is 
the most beautiful flower of its season; late May and June 
here. 2 for 35c; 4 for 55c; 9 for $1.00. 
EREMURUS OR FOXTAIL LILY 
This majestic Desert Lily, with magnificent flower spikes 
that bear hundreds of bright star-shaped blossoms, pink rose, 
primrose, orange, yellow or copper. Grows eventually four 
to eight feet tall. Fully hardy, but mulch a bit to prevent 
too early growth in the spring. Spectacular in the border. 
ONE-YEAR SEEDLINGS — Sturdy one-season seedling 
roots that, if grown thriftily, may begin to flower in third 
year from transplanting. Available in mixture only; finest 
possible color range, but no colors can be supplied sepa¬ 
rately in this size. 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00; 25 for $2.50. 
FULL BLOOMING-SIZE ROOTS of Eremurus can also 
be supplied those wishing quicker effects, at prices per root 
as below: Robustus, splendid pink, $2.00; Bungei, rich yel¬ 
low, $1.25; Himalaicus, fine creamy white, hardy and sure, 
$1.65; Elwesianus, early soft pink, $2.00; Warei coppery 
orange over rose, $3.75; Isobel, apricot orange, $1.75; 
Moonlight, pale yellow, $2.00. Please note that Eremurus 
sometimes takes a year to settle itself in a new location be¬ 
fore making a fair showing. Himalaicus is the most adjust¬ 
able, and is likely to give a fine spike of bloom the first 
spring. In the matter of hardiness, Eremurus is pretty 
safe when established, but better mulch with straw or litter 
the first winter. The species are natives of Turkestan, 
northern Persia, Siberia, and like strenuous climates. Give 
full sun and good drainage always, with a measure of 
patience added. Then there will be rich reward. 
VARIEGATED BULB GRASS 
A pretty ornamental grass with striped and variegated 
leaves. Excellent for edgings or for border clumps. Botan- 
ically it is Arrhenatherum elatius tuberosum variegatum, but 
don’t let this linear name keep the very real beauty of the 
plant from you. Just call it Variegated Bulb Grass as I do. 
Hardy. 18 inches. Grows from Crocus-like tubers. 8 for 
25c; 25 for 65c; 45 for $1.00. 
THE AUTUMN GYPSOPHILA 
Enormous bushy tangles of airy, misty blossoms in the 
daintiest, most exquisite of pinks, through September and 
October; that will be the gift of Gypsophila Oldhamiana, 
the hardy Baby’s Breath of the autumn months. Makes a 
splendid border showing, and of course it will cut. A new¬ 
comer from North Manchuria. Solid tuberous roots, 3 for 
50c; 7 for $1.00.
