SILENE - Catchfly or Campion 
These perennials are of dwarf habit, and chiefly suitable for 
rockeries. Two species, however, Maritima flore pleno and 
Schafta, may be grown as edgings to sunny borders. 
Culture: Grow in good, ordinary soil on the margins of slightly 
raised, sunny borders or rock gardens. May be grown as a con' 
tinuous edging or in masses. Plant in early spring or fall, four 
inches apart. 
Maritima Three $1.00, Dos. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
Compact masses of glaucous blue foliage. Very neat in appear¬ 
ance. Two to three inches high. From June to August the 
entire plant is covered with white flowers. Especially happy in 
a hot dry place in the rockery or for the rock wall. 
THERMOPSIS 
Only one species is worthy of mention here. This has three- 
foliate leaves, and yellow, lupine-like flowers borne in long, 
terminal racemes. It is of graceful growth and specially suitable 
for the sunny border. 
Culture: Ordinary soil in a sunny, well-drained, dry border. 
Plant in autumn or spring, 8 inches apart. 
Caroliniana Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
A lovely lupine-like plant with rich green foliage, growing about 
2 feet bigh. In June and July, yellow, pealike flowers are pro¬ 
duced in racemes, 6 to 12 inches long. The general appearance 
is that of a yellow Lupine. 
TRITOMA - Torch Lily; Flame Flower; Red Hot Poker 
Also known under the name of Kniphofia. A very popular plant 
for garden decoration. They are of stately growth, have long, 
narrow, grassy leaves, and bear their drooping, tubular flowers 
in dense spikes on long, naked stems well above the foliage. 
They are ideal plants to grow in the border. Coming chiefly 
from South Africa they must be well protected in cold districts; 
Quartiniana, however, is perfectly hardy. Flowers are prized for 
cutting in late summer and early autumn. 
Culture: Any good, ordinary, well-drained soil and a sunny 
position will suit Tritomas. Plant in spring only, 12 inches apart. 
A liberal mulching of decayed manure should be spread around 
the base of the plants in early winter. During severe weather 
protect the plants by a covering of straw or dry litter. 
Pfitzeri Each $0.45, Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50 
Hardy if given protection. In bloom from August to October, 
with spikes 3 to 4 feet high, and heads of bloom of a rich 
orange-scarlet. 
Towers of Gold Each $0.65, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.00 
Towers of Gold is unquestionably the finest and most worth¬ 
while Tritoma introduced since Pfitzeri. Its bold, compact, rich 
yellow flowers are profusely produced. It is at its best in August 
and early September when good flowers are hard to get. Towers 
of Gold is particularly fine for cutting, and most impressive in 
the border. It is a really fine plant and should be in every garden 
where its stateliness and golden yellow color will make it one 
of the most outstanding subjects. 
TROLLIUS - Globe-flower 
Hardy perennials belonging to the Buttercup order. The flow¬ 
ers are globe-shaped, yellow or orange in color and useful for 
cutting. 
Culture: They require a deep rich soil containing plenty of 
humus. They also like plenty of moisture, hence, should be 
grown in damp, shady corners, or, better still, by the waterside, 
in bold masses. Plant in autumn or very early spring, 8 inches 
apart. Each spring give a top dressing of rotten manure. Few 
plants make a brighter display of color in spring and early 
summer. 
Europaeus, Lemon Queen. Each $0.55, Three $1.60, Doz. $4.50 
Free flowering strong growing plant. Flowers pale yellow, pro¬ 
duced in abundance on stems about 2 feet high. 
Europaeus, Orange Globe Each $0.55, Three $1.60, Doz. $4.50 
Desirable free-flowering plants, producing their giant orange- 
yellow buttercup-like blossoms on stems 1 to 2 feet high from 
May until August; succeeds admirably in the border in a half- 
shady position. 
THALICTRUM - Meadow-Rue 
Hardy perennials, with elegant, finely divided, Columbine or 
Maidenhair-like foliage, which is most useful for cutting for mix¬ 
ing with cut flowers. Are borne in feathery clusters or panicles, 
and they add considerably to the beauty of the plants. They are 
of easy cultivation in sun or shade. 
Culture: They will thrive in any good, ordinary, well-drained 
soil. May be grown in sunny or partially shaded borders. Tall 
species like Aquilegifolium are most effective when grown as 
single specimens in the front of shrubbery borders, or in the 
wild garden. The other species may be grown in colonies in the 
garden or border. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. 
Aquilegifolium Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
Graceful foliage like that of Columbine, and rosy purple flowers 
from June to July on 2- to 3-ft. tall spikes; lovely planted to¬ 
gether with Poppy Wm. Perry. 
Aquilegifolium album Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
White form of the above. 
Daphne - Garland Flower 
These shrubs are of spreading habit and do not grow over 8 to 12 inches high, producing delicately 
perfumed rose-pink blossoms. The flowers completely cover the plant not only in spring but 
again in early autumn. As an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it is unequalled. 
It also forms a splendid low hedge along garden walks and around flower beds. 
Culture: It prefers a sunny position in well-drained sandy soil. In order to keep the evergreen 
foliage perfect, protect it with a little straw during the coldest part of the winter. The plants will 
withstand temperatures as low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes will not 
grow well in cold, poorly drained soil.
