TRICYRTIS HIRTA 
An autumn-blooming perennial for light shade. The 
flowers are like quaint Lilies, recurved, and carried in 
the axils of the leaves, ladder-fashion, up the yard-high 
stems. The blossoms are white, with marblings of violet. 
Seeds sown in late autumn should produce plants that 
will be in flower the following September and October. 
Pkt., 15c; 1/16 oz., 40c. 
THE GORGEOUS BROOM 
In late April, and all through May, visitors at our Old 
Orchard Gardens were exclaiming over the rich color dis¬ 
play of the Brooms, Cytisus, Hybrids. Range is from 
creamy yellow, through lemon, to golden orange, with red 
shadings, and velvety crimsons. The plants are evergreen, 
decorative throughout the year. Seedlings will give some 
bloom second season. Best sown outside in late autumn. 
We offer seeds saved altogether at our nurseries. Pkt. 
15c: % oz., 40c; % oz., 75c.
