VIOLA MISSOURIENSIS 
This lovely little Violet, spendthrift of bloom, is in full 
flower by early April, before its own leaves appear. Each 
plant of it then is a wide cushiony mound of pink-lilac, 
hundreds of blossoms in a veritable color-turf of their own 
making. By mid-May, foliage dominates. In late summer 
and autumn there is a second flower-showing, rather less 
profuse, and now amethystine lavender. Easy and adaptable.

’^CUPHEA AVALON HYBRIDS 
Curiously attractive, irregularly fashioned, blossoms in 
season-long profusion, the compactly foliaged plants seem¬ 
ing at a little distance to be covered with fluttering, bright- 
hued butterflies. There will be lavender, lilac, pure pink, 
rose purple, crimson, fire-scarlet and vermilion, with all 
possible intermediations. An annual of easiest culture in 
any sunny place. 20 inches. See illustration above. Pkt. 16c. 
* THE ROSY WINDFLOWER 
Of all the lovable tribe of the Anemones, there is none 
more charming, none more adaptable to varying conditions 
and surroundings, than the Rosy Windflower, Anemone de- 
capetala rosea. In this highly distinct form, the blossoms 
are salver-shaped, pure deep rose, carried in great sheafs 
of closely gathered sixteen-inch stems. In April and May 
there will be six weeks of splendid bloom, with scattered 
flowers all summer and fall. Full sun or _ light shade. 
Germinates slowly, but quite surely if soil is kept cool.

PINE LILY or BLUE TICRIDIA 
Eustylis purpurea is not a Tigridia, though rather a close 
relative, and often so-called. The blossoms are formed in 
true shell-like Tigridia fashion, but a bit smaller, and 
more gracefully spreading. The petal-coloring is a rich 
blue-violet, marked with mahogany and patched with gold. 
Sown in late autumn or very early spring (while soil is 
cool), it will flower nicely first year. The bulbs should 
be dug in October and stored in sand over winter, just as 
one would care for Tigridias. Flowering season covers 
many months. See illustration above. *euf (y or k) (8)20. Pkt.

The Caucasian Alps of Daghestan have given us the

'RAPID CELANDINE 
This is Dicranostigma F’ranchettianum, the one precious 
treasure of The Celandine group. Above jagged leaves, 
■white-marbled on green, comes a tangle of airy branchi- 
ness that bears, week after week, repeated showers of big 
four-petalled blossoms in crinkled golden silkiness. Easily 
handled as an annual, seeds sown where plants are to stand. 
Comes quickly into bloom, so “Rapid” Celandine. Hima¬ 
layas. Illustrated, page 33. 24 inches. Pkt. 20c. #

is shredded and fern-like, the flower stems of good length, 
and the blossoms carried continuously from mid-June until 
late autumn. Summer heat does not stop its blooming. 
This is the most satisfactory cutting annual introduced in 
years. Height, 20 inches. Botanical ly it is Machaeranthera 
tanacetifolia. See illustration, page 33. Pkt. 15c; ■% oz.

CAMPANULA PUNCTATA 
A noble Bellflower from mountain meadows of Japan. 
Rugged campaniles rise unevenly from rambling foliage

LINARIA TRISTIS HYBRIDA 
Gray-frosted foliage, with larger flowers than in other 
dwarf Linarias. Tremendously variable; white, cream, yel¬ 
low, chestnut, to crimson mahogany, or sometimes silvered 
violet. Always there is a deeper blotch of ochre-brown, 
crimson or purple. It is quick and easy, perhaps best 
treated as an annual, though perennial with care. Canary 
Islands. *exr(8)8. Pkt. 15c. #

great gorgeous cups of claret-crimson, built of torn-edged 
petals. It will make a brilliant showing in full sun for 
many months ; wide-spreading, but more flower than foliage.

THE SHELBURNE LILY 
Regale crossed on Sargentiae gave us this splendid Lily, 
larger and easier than Sargentiae, later blooming than

but always good. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c; % oz. 75c. 
THE FRAGRANT DELPHINIUM 
Seeds saved only from plants of excellent form and 
habit, with fully double flowers averaging not less than 
three inches in diameter, mostly light blue or lavender, with

est at night. Naturally some variation as to both form, 
and to degree of fragrance, must be expected. *ecbh(3-4)50.
