•TAHOKA DAISY—Showy summer-blooming annual, our 
own introduction. Described, page 2. Pkt, 16. # 
TALINUM or SUNBRICHT 
The Sunbrights are dainty succulents of unusual attrac¬ 
tiveness and easiest culture. Sown early, they will flower 
first year. Fully winter-hardy at New York, but should 
they be frozen out in exposed positions further north, this 
matters little, for there are always self-sown seedlings com¬ 
ing on, to keep up the succession of bloom each season. 
They are truly Sunbright, for they need the sun to open 
their brilliant blossoms. 
TALINUM CALYCINUM—*eurdh(3-4)12. Cherry Sunbright. 
Brittle pencils of leaves, silver-powdered green, in erratic 
tengle. The blossoms, of luminous cherry rose, are carried 
in airy sprays, on stems so slender as to be near-invisible, 
giving the effect of flowers floating in air. Highly recom¬ 
mended. Pkt. 20c; 1/32 oz. 40c. # 
TALINUM HARDY BLEND—Includes Calycinum, the dainty 
pink Parviflorum, the odd Spinescens, etc. Pkt. 16c. # 
TALINUM PATENS 
Makes a marvelous house plant, delightful in panicled 
carmine bloom, and rich glossiness of decorative, succulent 
foliage. Tends to be ever-blooming. Easy from seed. While 
perennial, it is not winter-hardy outside. It blooms so 
quickly, though, from spring-sown seed, that it may be 
handled as a summer annual in the garden, if one wishes 
something both distinctive and attractive. Pkt. 20c. # 
TAXUS BACCATA FASTIGIATA—qjy. Irish Yexc. Leaves 
of dark green spiral the branchlets. The branches are 
crowded to column effect. Desirable evergreen for formal¬ 
ities. Hardy to about Massachusetts. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c. 
TELLIMA GRANDIFLORA—bnsh(2)30. Wands of little 
fringed blossoms, white or pink-tinted, above decorative, 
wavy-margined, bronze-shaded foliage. Pkt. 20c. 
TEMPLETONIA RETUSA—htw (7). Showy scarlet flowers. 
Meritorious conservatory plant. Pkt. 20c. 
TEPHROSIA VIRGINIANA—erbcndh(2)18. Silver Pea. 
Blossoms in tones of lemon, saffron and ecru, shading into 
rose and purple, cluster in gregarious profusion. Below 
there are foliage fountains silvered with down. Of full 
hardiness. Prefer light soil. Pkt. 20c. # 
♦TETRANEURIS LINEARIFOLIA — eorbndk(8)16. Pretty 
buttery daisies, mostly petalage, spring on long stems from 
tangles of narrow leaves. Pkt. 20c. # 
TEUCRIUM CHAMAEDRYS—erbdh(4)20. Leaves leathery 
and glossy, with dainty flower-spikes of rose in late summer. 
Left toi itself, its branches spread about with that graceful 
naturalness that is so pleasing in the larger rockery, but 
if closely clipped, the plants may be trained to make the 
most rigidly formal of low edging hedges. Then it gives 
an effect like that of dwarf Box, but its green has an 
added richness, and it is hardier, and comes on more quick¬ 
ly than any Box. Evergreen, of course. Pkt. 15c. # 
THALICTRUM AQUILEGIFOLIUM ROSEUM—cbh(2'(36. 
Great flattened tassel-sprays,* rose to amethyst, over airy, 
graceful “Maiden-hair Fern” foliage. A delightful pe¬ 
rennial of full hardiness. Pkt. 15c. # 
THERMOPSIS CAROLINIANA—ebdatsth(y)(2)40. Showy 
border perennial of full hardiness. Spikes of glossy yellow. 
Very good species. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c; % oz. 50c. # 
THERMOPSIS MOLLIS—ebndsth(y) (2-3)50. Blossoms of 
polished gold in great terminal spikes, effect of a splendid 
Lupine. It is, though, both hardier and more spectacular 
than any yellow Lupine. Recommended. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
40c. # 
THOMSONIA NEPALENSIS—euftmstk(w)(l)20. A cur¬ 
ious Arum Lily, with marbled stems, ornamental foliage, 
and rose-colored flower-spathes. On the order of Amor- 
phophallus, but quicker, and easier. Pkt. 20c. 
THUJA OCCIDENTALIS—jh 60 ft. Arborvitae. Lacy fo¬ 
liage. Varies, but usually a narrow pyramid. Specimens, 
windbreaks or hedges. A favorite in formal plantingrs. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
THYMUS BLEND—ergpx(3)4. I like the Thymes. They 
have an air of elfin daintiness about them; an exquisite, 
and aromatic, grace of foliage and delicacy of blossom that 
seems ta fit them particularly to the rock garden, the wall 
crevice, or the terrace pavement. But beyond this, they 
will carpet, slow-spreadingly, any open space, or cushion a 
bank. I have some fourteen species and varieties of Thyme 
growing at my Old Orchard Gardens. A bit of seed of 
each is in this mixture. Warning, the seed is so minute, 
and so difficult to completely clean, that I now supply it 
only in the chaff. There is plenty of seed in it, even al¬ 
though it may not be visible. Pkt. 20c. #
