ERIOCONUM or UMBRELLA FLOWER 
A most desirable group of hardy flowers, that are, as yet, 
but little known. Though a bit slow in establishing them¬ 
selves, they are, nevertheless, long enduring and hardy. The 
pretty, delicately tinted flowers are carried in terminal 
umbel-sprays. 
ERIOGONUM COMPOSITUM—rbdh(3)20. Long-stemmed 
shaggy umbels of delightful flowers the color of rich cream, 
sometimes with a suggestion of pink suffusion. Pkt. 15c ;

rosettes, with daintiest blossom-heads that may be cream, 
lemon, or rose. Pkt. 20c.

Haven’t seen it myself, so this recommendation is second¬ 
hand. Pkt. 15c. 
ERIOGONUM UMBELLATUM—rdh(3)9. Wide carpets of 
irregularly mounded green foliage, white-downy below. Big 
flower clusters, anther-fluffed, of pleasing primrose yellow.

wide golden daisies with long stems, in greatest possible 
profusion for many weeks. Downy foliage. Pkt. 10c. 
ERIOPHYLLUM PEDUNCULATUM—erbh(3)18. It is, per¬ 
haps, more gracefully formed; otherwise much like last. 
Pkt. 15c # 
ERITRICHIUM SP.—*ebk(2-3)25. Open branching plants, 
lithe stems close set with stars of brilliant indigo, en¬ 
twined in Laocoon effect. Flowers first year. Pkt. 15c. # 
ERODIUM 
Hardy treasures of the Geranium persuasion, gems for the 
rock garden, or the larger sorts for the everblooming border. 
ERODIUM AMANUM—erh(3)12. Silvered leaves, plumily 
slashed and jagged; with lax-sprayed flowers above, most 
brilliantly white. Pkt. 25c.

anium-cousin, with noble blossoms of lavender-violet. Par¬

soms, but patched with radiating velvety blackness on upper 
petals. Fern-like leaves. Pkt. 20c. 
ERODIUM MANESCAVI—*erh(3-5) 16. To be in tune with 
the horticulturally elect, I should view Manescavi super¬ 
ciliously ; but with all due regret for my loss of “face”, I 
confess that I rather like the species. I like its hale and 
hearty habit, its seeming determination to make the best 
of its position, whatever it may be, its aromatic, always 
good, fern-foliage, its long season of flowering. I like even 
its somewhat robust coloring, a clear purple-rose with deeper 
veinings. At Philadelphia, still full of bloom on Thanks¬ 
giving day, and it starts in June. Pkt. 20c. #

flowers. Canescent foliage. Pkt. 20c.

for winter bouquets. Ornamental lavender flower-heads. The 
whole plant is dusted with silver-amethyst. Pkt. 10c. # 
ERYNGIUM COERULEUM—ecbh(3)30. Blue Sea-Holly. 1 
rather prefer this species, for the over-lay of blue is more 
pronounced. Blue this time, not lavender or amethyst. Par¬ 
ticularly good for straw-flower drying. Pkt. 15c. # 
*ERYTHRAEA VENUSTA — eork(3-4)8. Annual Rose 
Gentian. This is one of the prettiest and daintiest little 
flowers imaginable, exquisitely formed, upfacing stars of 
purest pink, each with yellow center. The seed is very fine, 
but aside from this, there are no real difficulties in its cul¬ 
ture, providing it be sown reasonably early. Pkt. 20c. 
ERYSIMUM

Wall-flowers. Mostly they germinate easily, and sown early,

ing, pinnate-foliaged plants bear enormous spikes of bril¬ 
liant coral-rose flowers. Not quite hardy north of Wash¬ 
ington, but the roots may be dug in latest autumn, and 
carried over winter, stored in damp sand in a cool cellar. 
Large seeds, 5 for 20c; 15 for 50c.

ERYTHRONIUM BLEND—This includes all of the kinds 
that I list. Pkt. 15c ; Ys oz. 40c. 
It is suggested that beginners confine their selections 
to kinds marked “e,” these being relatively easy if 
directions are followed. When successful experience 
has been gained, it will be time for the harder kinds. 
♦ESCHSCHOLTZIA MONARCH ART SHADES—eox(2-4) 10. 
A new English selection of high individuality. The plants 
are dwarf and compact, no sprawliness, with the blossoms 
carried well above the feathery foliage. The flowers are 
large, but exquisitely formed, usually semi-double, and with 
a metallic sheen that adds brilliance to the color. There * 
will be pink to rose and carmine, golden yellow through 
all the varying tones to orange and scarlet. I had not 
thought that any hybrid Eschscholtzia would meet the high 
standard for admission to my catalog, but I changed my 
mind when the “Monarchs” bloomed. Pkt. 15c. # 
EUCOMIS UNDULATA — ufzy(htw) (3)24. Dense trusses 
of creamy fragrant stars, the spike crowned with red- 
edged bracts. Very good. Pkt. 25c.
