'•'h^wv nnrple. 15c. 
21 THALICTRUM GLAUCUM—rb(2)45. Desired for the 
charming airily carried, blue-silvered foliage, and worth 
growing for that alone, but additionally, there are rather 
dense clusters of yellow flower-tassels. Plants only, each 
25c; 3 for 65c; 10 for $1.90.)

81 THUJA PLICATA—Handsome tall evergreen. Pkt. 10c. 
21 THYMUS BLEND—ergpx (2-4)3-9. I like the Thymes. 
They have an air of elfin daintiness about them; an ex¬ 
quisite. and aromatic, grace of foliage and delicacy of 
blossom that seems to fit them particularly to the rock 
garden, the wall crevice, or the terrace pavement. But 
beyond this, they will carpet, slow-spreadingly, any open 
space, or cushion a bank. I have some fourteen species and 
varieties of Thyme growing at my Old Orchard Gardens. \ 
bit of seed of each is in this mixture. Warning, the 6eed is 
so minute, and so difficult to completely clean, that I now 
supply it only in the chaff. There is plenty of seed in it, 
even although it may not be visible. Pkt. 20c.

a kind) for 65c. CITRIODORUS, lemon-scented. SER-

press shipment. For mail forwarding, add postage accord¬ 
ing to note on page one. 
33 TICRIDIA or SHELL FLOWER 
Blossoms like brightly lighted, triangular, winged shells, 
such as might be found, but probably never are, along 
the coral strand of some southern sea. There are varied 
hues, often with a half-translucence, or sometimes with a 
gloss-finished opacity; yellow, pale or deep, or with tinge- 
ings of a pink-hinting apricot. Then there will be real 
pink, with rose, red, orange, lavender and white. Often 
the petals will be marked with vividly contrasting colors. 
Please note that there will be more red and more yellow 
than of the others; nevertheless all are there, and a pro¬ 
portion of them should appear in any liberal sowing. 
Tigridia is a bulb of easiest culture, growing readily 
from seeds sown in shaded open-ground seed-beds in spring, 
and often, in thrifty plantings, giving some flowers same 
season seed is sown. The bulbs should be dug in late 
autumn, and carried over winter in the cellar, packed in 
sand. Illustrated . page 65. Superb blend. Pkt. 15c; % oz.

21 TRAILING ARBUTUS 
Epigaea repens. Prettiest and almost rarest flower of 
early spring, with pink-and-white bloom like daintier ap¬ 
ple-blossoms, endowed with the sweetest of tantalizing per¬ 
fumes. The evergreen foliage is highly decorative, undu¬ 
late, leathery in graining, and with olivine depth and rich¬ 
ness of coloring. Sow seed in mixture of sand and sifted 
acid-bearing fibrous material, such as leaf-mould, peat, or
