GARDEN LILIES, continued 
Philippinense formosanum. A magnificent 
pure white trumpet, tinted rose on the 
outside. It attains a height of 3 to 4 feet. 
Grows easily and is quite hardy. 35 cts. 
each, $3.50 per doz. 
Regale. 7 he Royal Lily. One of the hardiest 
and most beautiful garden Lilies. Its large, 
fragrant, trumpet-shaped white flowers 
carry a suffusion of pink and primrose- 
yellow, contrasting with the rich brown on 
the reverse of the petals, making a blend 
that is truly delightful. Plant in any good 
free garden soil that is well drained, avoid¬ 
ing green manure, setting the bulbs fully 
6 inches deep. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 
$12 per 100; extra large, 35 cts. each, $3.50 
per doz., $25 per 100. 
Shelburne Hybrid. Like Regale but later and 
much stronger, producing large, gorgeous 
flowers on stiff, 3 to 4-foot stems through 
August. Should be in every garden. $1 each. 
Speciosum album. The Speciosum Lilies are 
the most satisfactory and reliable of the 
late summer-flowering sorts. Bulbs are 
imported from Japan, arriving in fall, 
usually too late for planting. Spring- 
planted bulbs give good results, however, 
and we advise planting from April until 
mid-May. Album is a pure white form, 
very fragrant and effective. Plant 6 to 8 
inches deep. Height, 2jQ to 3 feet. August 
to September. Medium bulbs. 50 cts. each, 
$5 per doz. 
Speciosum rubrum or magnificum. Light 
pink spotted and marked crimson; very 
effective. Height, 2J^ to 3 feet. August, 
September. Large bulbs, 40 cts. each, $4 
per doz., $30 per 100; extra large, 50 cts. 
each, $5 per doz., $35 per 100. Illustrated 
in color on page 29. 
*Tenuifolium. Coral Lily. Drooping flowers 
of medium size, on slender stems. The 
color is a bright coral-scarlet. A dainty 
Lily of easy culture that does best when 
grown under a low, spready cover-plant, 
such as nepeta or violas. The bulbs are 
naturally small, but bloom readily the first 
season. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. Illustrated 
in color on page 25. 
Tigrinum splendens. The best form of the 
old-fashioned Tiger Lily but better in 
growth and color than the type. Very 
easily grown. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., 
$15 per 100. 
LATHYRUS latifolius. Perennial Pea. Val¬ 
uable trailing cover for rough banks or 
stonework, producing many flowers during 
July and August. Pink or White. 
*LAVANDULA vera. The true Sweet Laven¬ 
der. Delightfully fragrant blue flowers in 
July and August. 30 cts. each, 75 cts. for 
3, $3 per doz. 
LIATRIS graminifolia. Grass-leaf Gay feather. 
Purple-red spikes, excellent for cutting. 
Height, 2feet. July, August. 
Pycnostachya. Kansas Gayfeather. Giant, 
5-foot spikes of rosy purple flowers opening 
from the top down. July and August.

feet.

compact than Pycnostachya, and earlier.

bushy plant with pretty pale blue flowers

tage in clusters or as individual plants in 
the rockery. Height, 1J^ feet. Illustrated 
in color on page 29. 
*Perenne album. A desirable white, lj^feet. 
LOBELIA cardinalis. Cardinal Flower. Car¬ 
dinal-red spikes. Biennial and likes a moist, 
partially shaded spot. Height, 2J^ to 3 
feet. July, August. 
LUPINUS. Lupine. In June, just before the 
delphiniums flower, the Lupines domi¬ 
nate the garden picture. Planted in sub¬ 
stantial groups, they are at their best in 
early summer, and if interplanted with 
Auratum or Speciosum lilies for late sum¬ 
mer effect, a permanent and effective all¬ 
summer display is assured. A deep, well- 
drained soil and sunny situation are the 
chief requirements. If affected with aphis, 
spraying with Black-Leaf 40 combined 
with soap, is recommended, and if blight is 
apt to appear, a thorough spraying with 
Bordeaux Mixture in late May and again in 
midsummer will prove effective. 
Polyphyllus. Washington Lupine. Deep blue, 
pea-shaped flowers in sturdy spikes 2J4 to 
3 feet in height. 
Polyphyllus alba. A splendid clear white. 
Polyphyllus roseus. Beautiful shades of rose-

pean strain containing many new shades 
and colors, varying from white to deepest 
blue, light to dark pink, and from pale am¬ 
ber to bronze-yellow. Bicolors also appear 
occasionally; altogether a beautiful and in¬ 
teresting group. Illustrated in color on 
page 24.

prevail. Height, 10 to 12 inches. July, 
August. 
*Foresti Hybrids. Bright carmine, crimson, 
pink, and white shades. Blooms from end 
of April until late June. Valuable for cut¬ 
ting. Height, 15 inches. 35 cts. each, $3.50 
per doz.

evergreen foliage. Vivid double crimson- 
red blossoms through June. Height, 1 foot.

bell-shaped flowers, changing to pink on 
stems. The foliage disappears in midsum¬ 
mer. Height, 1 to ljdj feet.

ful as a filler. Height, 2 to 3 feet. July,

small leaves of metallic hue. 
*MYOSOTIS palustris semperflorens. Swiss 
Forget-me-not. The best variety for natural¬ 
izing, preferring a moist location. Quite 
permanent when established. 40 cts. for 3, 
$1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
*NIEREMBERGIA rivularis. White Cup. A 
charming creeping alpine plant bearing 
large, creamy white, cup-shaped flowers 
from June until September. 
*NEPETA Mussini. Catnip. Produces 
cloudy masses of lavender-blue flowers 
from May until late fall if the early sum¬ 
mer flowers are clipped off as they mature. 
The soft grey foliage, when massed, pro¬ 
duces a cool, restful effect in the garden, 
and as it does well in dry situations or poor 
soil, it is used extensively also for major 
effects in the rock-garden. 
Six Hills Giant. See page 10. 
Souvenir d’ Andre Chaudron. Large light 
mauve-blue flowers on long, wiry stems 
attaining a height of 20 to 24 inches. Quite 
distinct from Mussini and better adapted 
for the mixed planting, flowering from mid¬ 
summer on. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
*(ENOTHERA glauca Fraseri. Evening Prim¬ 
rose. Pale yellow. . Very free. Height, 1 
foot. 
*Missouriensis. Ozark Sundrops. Prostrate 
habit. Bright yellow individual flowers 5 
inches across. June to August. 
*PACHYSANDRA terminalis. Japanese 
Spurge. The best ground-cover for mass¬ 
ing in shaded areas where grass will not 
grow. If planted 6 to 8 inches apart, the 
bright glossy green foliage will soon form 
perfect mats, particularly if the soil is well 
enriched before planting and a winter 
mulch of well-decayed manure 1 inch deep 
is applied each season. We suggest the use 
of pot-grown plants except where large 
quantities are required. Field-grown plants 
or plants from 3-in. pots, 25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz., $15 per 100; 250 plants or more at 
$12 per 100. 
PENTSTEMON barbatus Torreyi. Bright 
scarlet, slender spikes. Height, 3 feet. July, 
August. 
Barbatus Torreyi Hybrids. Attractive shell- 
pink shades. Good cut-flower. Height, 3 
feet. July, August. 
Unilateralis. Opalescent blue. Very fine. 
Height, 3 feet. July, August. 
Paeonia (Peony) 
In planting this fine old favorite, provide a 
good soil, deeply dug and enriched with well- 
decayed manure to which a sprinkling of bone 
meal should be added. The fertilizer should 
not come in direct contact with the roots, 
and the plants should be set just deep enough 
to cover the crowns. While the large two- 
year plants should bloom the first season, it 
requires from two to three years before the 
flowers appear in their true form.
