THE GLORY LILY 
The Gloriosas grow with fair readiness from seed sown 
in open ground beds in early spring, or under glass at 
other seasons. Dig tubers in autumn and store over winter 
in sand in cool cellar. Two-year-old tubers should bloom. 
May be treated either as a summer-flowering bulb, gladiolus- 
fashion, or as pot plant. Spectacular. Illustrated, page 65.

ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
It is a perpetual astoundment that fruits so utterly diverse 
in color, form and size can still all be Gourds. The fancy 
Gourds are becoming increasingly popular for centerpieces, 
winter decorative effects, and the like. Assuredly a collec¬ 
tion of them is always interesting, for not only do they vary 
from variety to variety, but even to some degree in the 
fruits produced on individual plants within the variety 
itself. Beyond the fruits, the Gourds make good quick¬ 
growing summer vines for trellises, or fences, and they have 
sometimes been used for temporary ground covers. 
OFFER 67A9—One pkt. each of ten separate and distinct 
varieties of small-fruited fancy Gourds, each under name, 
for only 75c. 
OFFER 68A9—One pkt. each of ten varieties of the larger-

20 kinds offered in the two collections, with others. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 20c; 1 oz. 30c.

64, for the answer. It may interest you,—in more 
ways than one. 
21 GRINDELIA INTEGRIFOLIA — ecbdx(2-3)40. Crown- 
bloom. A splendid hardy border perennial, easy and en¬ 
during. Gold-shining daisy-flowers as large as a silver 
dollar, (and that dates those of us to whom it conveys a 
meaning). The petal-rays are carried at an upward angle 
with the yellow disk, in pleasing crown effect. Blooms with 
exceeding freedom, and over a long period. Lasts well as 
a cut flower. Buds are painted with a translucent, sun- 
sparkling gum. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 30c; 3 for 85c.) 
55 GUAVA MIXED—w. Psidium Cattleianum. Excellent 
large house plant north. Perfumed snowy flowers; glossy 
leaves ; edible, spicy sweet, fniits of red or yellow. Pkt. 10c. 
•GYNANDROPSIS PENTAPHYLLA—ebx(3-4)50. A splen¬ 
did easy annual from South Africa, that might be considered 
a giant snow white Cleome. There are the same airy flowers 
on ever-extending racemes, but here the blossoms are 
nearer to a pure whiteness, and larger. Good. Pkt. 10c. 
♦GYNANDROPSIS SPECIOSA—ebx(3-5)60. Much like the 
last, but blooming season is perhaps even a bit longer, the 
plant a trifle taller, while the spidery blossomings in their 
many great lengthening racemes are of a particularly rich 
deep pink. Spectacular. Pkt. 15c. 
21 GYPSOPHILA or BABY BREATH 
The Gypsophilas are valued for delicate, misty border 
effects, but also for cutting, adding lightness and airy 
grace to a bouquet or flower arrangement. For a full 
cutting succession all season long, use Paniculata, Mangini, 
Pacifica and Oldhamiana, each of these being just nicely 
into its blooming as its predecessor leaves off. 
21 GYPSOPHILA FASTIGATA—erx(2-3)18. Mounded airi¬ 
ness of lacy white bloom. Highly distinct. Pkt. 15c. 
21 GYPSOPHILA MANGINI—ecb(3)40. Wide tangles of 
pretty pink-and-white, profuse and diffuse. Particularly 
good. A bit earlier than Pacifica. Pkt. 10c; A oz. 20c. 
(Large plants, each 30c; 3 for 85c.) 
21 GYPSOPHILA OLDHAMIANA—*ecbx(4-5) 40. This is 
the Autumn Gypsophila, a recent introduction from Man¬ 
churia, that flowers in unremitting continuity all through 
September and October, beginning indeed in late August, 
and often persisting until past the middle of November. 
The little blossoms, of daintiest pink suffusion, are carried 
in close but graceful terminal panicles. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
20c; % oz. 35c. (Plants, good roots, 3 for 50c; 7 for $1.00; 
25 for $3.25.) 
21 GYPSOPHILA PACIFICA—ecb(3-4)48. Effects of 
daintiest airiness, though the flowers are actually much 
larger individually than in most of the others, not too large 
for mixing with other cut flowers, yet large enough to be 
effective alone. Blossom coloring is usually a delicate, but 
true, pink. There is, though, some variation from plant 
to plant, with soft flesh tintings, or occasionally, a pure 
white. Plants of this Gypsophila make excellent hardy 
border specimens, since they have an erect-arching carriage 
that is both stately and graceful. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 30c; % oz. 
50. (Plants, each 35c.) 
21 GYPSOPHILA PANICULATA—ecbx(2-3)36. Loosely car¬ 
ried, diffusely branching panicles of snow white flowers. 
Pkt. 5c; % oz. 25c; 1 oz. 65c. 
21 GYPSOPHILA REPENS—erx(8)8. Mounds and cushions 
of attractive dark-hued foliage, with sprays of pearly white¬ 
ness above through spring and summer. Right for the 
rock garden. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 25c. 
21 GYPSOPHILA ROKEJEKA—ecbx(3-4)36. Practically a 
larger-flowered, later-flowered G. paniculata. It comes from 
the Caucasus. Pkt. 10c; fs oz. 20c. 
OFFER 69A9—One pkt. each of above for 70c. 
OTHER GOOD HARDY GYPSOPHILAS—Each 10c the pkt. 
Altissima, Divaricata, Gmelini, Scorzonerifolia, Transyl- 
vanica. 
21 GYPSOPHILA BLEND—All of the above in one big 
mixture, for season-long, life-long beauty. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
25c; *4 oz. 40c. 
It is rarely the long-planned enjoyments, but rather 
the sum of varied and unexpected little happinesses 
that make up pleasant living. The sky-bringing of 
a Gentian, a winter Dandelion against a wall, sweet 
piercing sound-thrills of a whistling Cardinal, trill 
of a Song-sparrow outside the window, sunset on 
snow, glory-flame of an autumn Maple, curling 
crests of salt waves, these balance a thousand sor¬ 
rows, change disappointments to a triumphancy 
beyond diminishing. Earth spreads its treasures 
before those who will see them. 
51 HAMAMELIS VIRGINIANA—y 8 ft. Yellow autumn 
blossoms, then gorgeous foliage. Pkt. 10c. 
52 HAMAMELIS POPULIFLORUS—Rare. Good. Pkt. 15c.

leaves studded with pearly dewdrops. Pkt. 20c.

Sweet Herb. Oil said to keep Mosquitos away. Pkt. 10c. 
33 HEDYCHIUMS MIXED—eobk(w) (4-7). Garland Lily. 
Tall spikes of showy flowers, lemon, gold, rose or crimson ; 
always spicily perfumed. Good large pot plant, or may be 
grown in garden, storing roots in cellar when winter comes, 
Canna fashion. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c.
