CHERRY SUNBRIGHT—In any hot, dry place, full sun 
always, this will give an all-summer display of continuous 
color brilliance. The blossoms, of luminous cherry rose, 
are carried in airy sprays on stems so fine as to be near 
invisible. Attractive foliage, succulent and brittle. Plant 
the tubers so they are covered with an inch of soil, then 
put a bit of litter over them, to keep them from being 
thrown out on top the ground by freezing and thawing 
during the winter. Fully hardy, even in northern New 
England, if kept under ground, but they won’t stand 
winter exposure on top of it. This is Talinum calycinum. 
See illustration, page 13. Sound tubers, 3 for 25c; 7 for 
50c; 15 for $1.00 ; 50 for $3.00. 
CALLIPRORA IXIOIDES SPLENDENS—Pretty Faces. 
Salmon yellow to golden buff flowers, each petal with a 
single brown stripe in the center. The blossoms, large and 
star-shaped, are carried in up-facing umbels on 18-inch 
stems. Handsome, easy and hardy. Sometimes classed as 
Brodiaea. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c. 
ERYTHRONIUMS MIXED—Charming flowers like very 
dwarf Lilies, for woodland, shady corner, or not too sunny 
rockery. The color variations are remarkable, cream, deep 
yellow, purple, lavender or rosy pink. Often there are con¬ 
trasting color bands. Plant the bulbs as soon as you get 
them. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00. 
CHLOROGALUM POMERIDANUM—Amole, or Noon- 
flower. Enormous branching panicles of little starry flow¬ 
ers, white with purple lines, the blossoms opening about 
noon each day. Winter-hardy, and when established, may 
reach five feet, giving them surprisingly good effects. 8 
for 25c; 10 for 75c. 
CLOTH OF GOLD CROCUS—Crocus susianus. In the wild 
these sweep the slopes of Crimean hills, following then 
the arch of the Black Sea Shore down to the Danube delta. 
Ovid in exile must have known them. The blossoms, cups 
at first, open soon to wide stars of orange-gold, laced in 
reverse with velvet brown. Far earlier than most other 
Crocuses, mid-February here if the weather grants any 
favors. A warm flow of mid-day sun. Crocus susianus in 
full golden burst, hum of early bee in air, and for the 
moment at least, spring is here, even though snowbanks 
be still in shady corners. 7 for 25c; 25 for 75c; 50 for 
$1.40; 100 for $2.50. (Bulbs of this species are naturally 
a little smaller than those of certain other kinds.) 
BRODIAEA BLEND—The rather tall and slender stems 
bear clusters of waxen flowers that vary from close trum¬ 
pets to wide stars, according to species; and in color run 
from tinted white, to lilac, lavender and rich glossy pur¬ 
ple. Then there are others that are close to indigo blue, 
rosy pink, or yellow with salmon tintings. They are hardy 
and long-lived if given precisely the winter treatment de¬ 
scribed under Calochortus El Dorado. They will even 
thrive in light shade. Amazingly variable and amazingly 
pretty. Plant them liberally, and you will be glad you 
have done so. Please note that the bulbs are naturally 
small, but not the bloom. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 21 for 
$1.00; 45 for $2.00.
