TALINUM or SUNBRIGHT 
The Sunbrights are dainty succulents of unusual attrac¬ 
tiveness and easiest culture. Sown early, they will flower 
first year. Fully winter-hardy at New York, but should 
they be frozen out in exposed positions further north, this 
matters little, for there are always self-sown seedlings com¬ 
ing on, to keep up the succession of bloom each season. 
They are truly Sunbright. for they need the sun to open 
their brilliant blossoms. Illustrated above. 
TALINUM CALYCINUM — *eurdh(3-4) 12. Cherry Sun¬ 
bright. Brittle pencils of leaves, silver-powdered green, in 
erratic tangle. The blossoms, of luminous cherry rose, are 
carried in airy sprays, on stems so slender as to be near¬ 
invisible, giving the effect of flowers floating in air. Highly 
recommended. Pkt. 20c. 
CAMPANULA PUNCTATA 
A noble bellflower from mountain meadows of the Orient. 
Rugged campaniles rise unevenly from rambling foliage mats, 
each spire hung with big, pendant “Foxglove” bells, waxen 
without, downy and red-punctate within. Colorings range 
from translucent pink creaminess, through lilac, to vinous 
purple. An enduring and distinctive perennial. Illustrated, 
outside page. ecbx(3)28. Pkt. 15c. 
ALLIUM OREOPHILUM 
The Caucasian Alps of Daghestan have given us the 
Mcuntain-lover, an easy, sure, and most charming species 
that will thrive in any sunny place. Long stems above green 
foliage fountains, carry airy dome-clusters of opalescent lilac 
to shimmering purple. Full winter hardiness. ecrbh(3)16. 
Illustrated, outside page. Pkt. 15c; 54 oz. 40c; 54 oz. 75c. 
LILIUM WARDI 
Rare species of exquisite loveliness, native to borderlands 
of Thibet. Blossoms of softly shaded pink, waxy recurved 
petals in “Martagon” fashion. Not an easy Lily, but where 
it is happy under garden conditions, specimens have been 
known to reach five feet, a single stem with 37 flowers. 
Grows naturally on somewhat moist slopes, amid scattering 
pine-scrub. In garden should have loose soil with perfect 
drainage, a proportion of peat moss having been worked in 
at root depth. No lime. Light shade is suggested, rcby 
(3)50. Pkt. 20c. 
*TITHONIA EARLIEST 
This vividly hued Tithonia is usually in bloom at Old 
Orchard by the middle of July, from seeds sown directly 
where the plants stand. The flowers are very nearly as large 
as those of Tithonia speciosa, and better for cutting, lasting 
longer in water. Color ranges from orange-topaz, through 
tangerine, to those with burnished oversheen of scarlet. Sur¬ 
prisingly free in blooming, and still full of flowers when 
hard freezes of late autumn end the season. Botanically it 
is the distinct species, Tithonia tagetiflora. Pkt. 15c.
