LEWISIA REDIVIVA 
Big blossoms like feathery water-lilies in exquisite pink 
tintings, from softest blush to a shade so deep and rich that 
it approaches rose. Petals with the textui*e of spun silk. Of 
rather easy culture if in full sun, and in well-drained posi¬ 
tion, but don’t let frost heave roots out on surface during 
winter. Note also that it is natural for the tubers to be 
dry-soft when you receive them, but every one of them 
should grow if given any sort of fair chance. To me, Lewisia 
rediviva is the most beautiful flower of its season ; May and 
June. 2 for 25c; 10 for $1.00 ; 25 for $2.25.

FAIRY DAFFODILS FOR THE ROCK 
GARDEN 
Here are charming baby species, so unique, so very different 
from their big brothers, that they scarce seem to be Narcissi 
at all. All make small bulbs, 
NARCISSUS BULBOCODIUM CITRINUS—A lovely little 
Daffodil of pale citron yellow with shyly shrinking perianth 
but a fluted and satiny corona so widely flaring that it seems 
well-called Hoop-petticoat Daffodil. 3 for 40c; 10 for $1.00, 
NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS ALBUS—Angel’s Tears or Gany¬ 
mede’s Cup, a charming fairy-flower from the hills of Port¬ 
ugal. The corona chalice hangs downward, but the perianth 
petals are reflexed like irregularly fluttering wings. Creamy 
white. 3 for 40c ; 10 for $1.15. 
QUEEN ANNE’S JONQUIL—Double rosette flowers of 
deepest richest yellow in little clusters. Deliciously fragrant. 
Finest form of true Narcissus jonquilla for the rock garden. 
5 for 45c ; 10 for 85c; 25 for $2.00. 
COLLECTION OF FAIRY DAFFODILS—Three bulbs each 
of Bulbocodium Citrinus and of Triandrus Albus, with four 
of Queen Anne’s Jonquil, ten bulbs, kinds labeled sep¬ 
arately, for ONE DOLLAR in the collection. 
BLAZING STAR 
For color in sheer, over-whelming brilliance, the blazing, 
feathered torches of Liatris scariosa are above and beyond 
compare. The great tassel-blossoms that range the branching 
stems, pulsate in violet flame. See illustration, front cover. 
It grows to four feet or more, revels in full sun, and is of 
exceeding hardiness. Only one caution to it, don’t let the 
thick root-tubers dry out. Plant them quickly after they 
come. 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00. 
THE MAGIC LILY 
It is, of course, Lycoris squamigera, and the magic lies, 
not in remembering the euphony that is its name, but in its 
habit of giving bursts of quick and delightful bloom where 
but a few days before seemed dry, barren earth. The bulbs 
are of full hardiness, providing, as with Tulips, they have, 
after planting, a short time-space to strike root before the 
ground freezes. The leaf growth is in earliest spring. When 
May is gone, so have the leaves that mark where the bulbs 
rest. No more, then, until well into August, when suddenly 
bud-crowned stems push up to twenty inches, and there is a 
spectacular flaring of fragrant trumpet-blossoms in the ex¬ 
quisite opaline shades that lie between pink and blue. Note, 
though, that like Peony, Lycoris squamigera may take a 
•year to settle into a new home, before giving any really effec¬ 
tive display. Again, like Peony, it is of enduring perma¬ 
nence when once established. Good bulbs, each 80c ; 3 for 
$2.25.
