TROLLIUS (Globe Flower) 
LEDEBOURI “GOLDEN QUEEN”. A very fine novelty. Award of 
Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, London. We offer again seed 
of this beautiful hardy perennial plant. It is a valuable garden 
plant and continues in bloom from June till October; in fact, we 
cut flowers outside as late as November. 
This variety is very vigorous; it grows quite three feet in 
height, but its chief value lies in the size of the fiowers, which 
are four inches across; the rich golden color of the outer petals 
and the intense orange color of the smaller petals near the center 
of the flower intermix and blend beautifully with the yellow 
anthers. The plant is extremely floriferous and continues in 
Bower for a long period; in fact, the constancy with which it 
blooms in autumn as well as early summer is very remarkable. 
It comes practically true to type from seed. 
Most Trollius are rather uncertain to raise from seed when 
sown in the spring, but one of the great recommendations this 
introduction has is that the seed germinates freely when sown in 
the spring. We tested this point very fully by three successive 
sowings in March, April and May, when practically every seed 
germinated. Blooms same year if sown early. Seed, per pkt. 25c; 
1/16 oz. $1.20.

HAND-COLORED FLOWER SLIDES FOR GARDEN CLUBS 
Over 100 Garden Clubs throughout the states showed our colored 
Delphinium and flower slides last year; there are some 35 of them in 
a set, including a little talk on the cultivation of Delphiniums, 
thrown on the screen and read aloud by the operator; there is also 
other reading matter, the whole making it a sort of an illustrated 
lecture. Time required for showing, about 30 to 45 minutes. We 
have three sets going all the time, and it is well to make application 
three to four weks ahead of your meeting. Each club must pay the 
transportation charges, which average about $1.50 each way to 
Eastern points. About $1 to the Middle West—nearby points much 
less. They must be promptly returned. 
Maplewood, Oregon, 
August 11, 1936. 
I have been recommending your delphiniums to all parties 
since I visited your gardens, "rhere may be better and nicer 
ones grown but as I have not seen them this year I can 
truthfully say that yours are the nicest that I have seen this 
past season.

order accordingly with the above rule. 
THE PROBLEM OF THE EDGING PLANT 
For the past two seasons my garden has boasted what has seemed 
to me the handsomest flower edging I have ever seen, and one which 
I am afraid is going to be copied next summer in half the gardens of 
the county. I used an ounce of Alyssum seed of the variety known 
as "Carpet of Snow” and a quarter ounce of Lilac Queen, The lilac 
sort grows just enough taller than the white to give the edging a 
delightful irregularity in height, and the color softens and enlivens 
the deadness of the white, as used alone, into a pleasing tint, some¬ 
times suggesting a delicate soft gray and again a dainty pink. 
Toward fall the lilac color grows somewhat stronger than earlier, 
probably because the colored sort holds out much better than the 
white. 
Innumerable people visit my garden each season, and hardly a 
garden owner who has seen it recently but has exclaimed over this 
Alyssum edging and has asked the recipe for it. It will be used 
again this coming summer and indefinitely until the urge for a 
change seizes me, and then I suppose I shall turn to Violas or 
lobelias, for out of all the edging plants I have tried, or seen tried, 
these three come nearest the standard of perfection. (House Beauti¬
