drained. 6-12 inches high. 
Pudica —Nodding bell flowers of pure gold. Very hardy, 
a gem for the rock garden. 1-6 inches high.

originally came from Japan woodlands. AVe are now grow¬

appearance. Plant in woodland, leafy soil or partial shade

Matilija 
(Pronounce the “ja” 
like “ha”.) 
The scientific name of this 
plant is Romneya Couteri. It 
grows five to eight feet high, 
producing a continuous 
growth of numerous beauti¬ 
ful white flowers with orange 
center, 5 to 6 inches across, 
delicate, transparent and de¬ 
lightfully fragrant. It blooms 
from August until frost and 
is a wonderful cut flower, 
keeping in excellent condi¬ 
tion for two weeks if the 
water is changed daily. 
This perennial plant dies 
down each fall, reappearing 
in the spring, same as other matilija 
perennials. It is perfectly 
hardy except in states north of Philadelphia, where it should be mulched. 
Matilija starts its growth, putting forth new shoots under the ground as 
early as Januarv and February. These little shoots are verv tender and if dis- 
turbed will destroy the plant, so I am able to ship Matilija only in the fall. 
I can give you good strong roots of this plant for $1.00 each, 3 plants for $2.75,
