ERYTHRAEA BEYRICHI—Said to have pretty pink flowers, 
and to fit the rock garden. We have not grown it. Pkt. 20c. 
•ERYTHRAEA CENTAURIUM—eryt(8) 14. This might be 
considered an annual pink Gentian. It makes a mighty 
pretty rock garden or border plant, loaded with pure pink 
blossoms for months. A wild flower of England; that’s 
English luck. Pkt. 15c. 
22 ERYTHRAEA MASSONI—*erstyt(8)5. Little spreading 
tuffets, loaded with waxy stars of brilliant rose. A delight¬ 
ful hill plant of the Azores, worthy all care. Pkt. 15c. 
24 ERYTHRINA CRISTA-GALLI 
A well-grown plant of this in full bloom is the full- 
stop signal for any flower lover. The enormous spikes of 
lucent coral-rose are held against a pleasing foil of light 
green pinnate foliage. Not hardy north, so perhaps best 
handled as a tub plant, carrying indoors when late autumn 
comes. It will even winter in a light cellar. Sometimes 
it is planted directly in the garden. Then when hard 
freezes kill back the plants, the roots, thick and semi-tuber¬ 
ous, are dug and stored in damp sand in the cellar until 
spring, wintering then in a completely dormant state. 
Large bean-like seeds, 5 for 20c; 15 for 60c. 
31 ERYTHRONIUM or TROUT LILY 
The flowers are as exquisite lilies in fairy sizes.« One 
should have them in every shady corner, little colonies of 
them here and there in the rock garden, or scattered about 
near woodland paths. They are fully hardy and enduring 
in deep rich soil but they do not like hot dry places. The 
flowers are recurved, and they come in color variety quite 
remarkable; white, cream, lemon, yellow, purple, lavender, 
rose and pink. Often there are contrasting color bands. 
Foliage is usually decorative, marbled, or sometimes trout- 
speckled. They bloom in early spring, “y” culture. Illus¬ 
trated, page 20. Fine mixture. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c; *4 
oz. 75c. (Mixed bulbs, fall delivery, 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00.)

54 EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS—w. An ornamental Blue 
Gum that makes, in the north, an interesting large pot or 
tub plant. Sometimes it is plunged in the summer garden 
border, giving then exotic, but striking decorative effects. 
Pkt. 10c. 
•EUCHARIDIUM CONCINNUM—estx(2)20. Red Ribbons, 
called so from the oddly irregular flowers with ribbony 
filaments. A handsome and easy annual. Blossoms rose to 
crimson. Pkt. 10c. 
•EUCNIDE BARTONIOIDES—erx(3)15. Big glossy yellow 
flowers, centered with golden tassels. Foliage somewhat 
succulent. Pretty, and unusual, annual for full sun. Pkt. 15c. 
35 EUCOMIS UNDULATA—ek(w) (3)25. Dense trusses of 
creamy, fragrant stars, the spike crowned with red-edged 
bracts. Very good. May be handled as one does Gladiolus, 
or, alternatively, grown as a pot plant. Pkt. 25c. 
51 EUONYMUS AMERICANA—qy 8 ft. Good shrub with 
creamy flowers and bright pink fruits. Pkt. 10c. 
EUPATORIUM FOR AUTUMN CUTTING 
Late summer, too, for that is when their flowering begins. 
Dependable always for cutting, border decoration, or 
naturalizing. Practically, the first two, at least, may be 
considered as hardy perennial Ageratums. 
21 EUPATORIUM COELESTINUM—crbnstkt(3-4)25. Mist 
Flower. Profuse airy blossoms of fluffiest blue. Splendid cut 
flower. Sow early while soil is cool. Pkt. 10c; & oz. 40c. 
(Plants, delivery after May 1st, each 25c; 3 for 70c; 10 
for $2.00.) 
21 EUPATORIUM AGERATOIDES—cbnstkt(3-4)36. Great 
branching plants, filled with attractive fluffy flowers of 
purest white. Good border perennial. Pkt. 10c. (Plants, 
each 25c; 3 for 70c.)

flower-heads of rose purple. For naturalizing. Pkt. 10c. 
OFFER 58A9—One pkt. each of above for 25c. 
EUPHORBIA 
A family as diverse as Cactus, and more widely ranging, 
America, Asia, Africa and southern Europe. All tend 
toward succulence, the African species in particular, these 
being indeed Cacti in all similitude, and requiring Cactus 
culture. 
45 EUPHORBIA APHYLLA—w. Great tangles of pencil- 
size branchings, green, leafless, succulent. Pkt. 25c. 
41 EUPHORBIA BIGLANDULOSA —See page 3. Pkt. 25c. 
45 EUPHORBIA CANARIENSIS—w. A very cactus-like 
plant, with branches thick, succulent, jagged and many¬ 
angled. Curious and easy. Pkt. 15c. 
45 EUPHORBIA CAPUT-MEDUSAE—w. Sinuous snake¬ 
like branches that may be two inches in diameter. An odd 
and interesting pot-plant succulent. 3 seeds for 25c. 
21 EUPHORBIA COROLLATA—cbk(2-4)25. Flowering 
Spurge. Airy panicles of little white flowers. Excellent for 
cutting. Easy, hardy. Pkt. 15c. 
11 EUPHORBIA LATHYRUS—ebx(9)36. Strikingly dec¬ 
orative plants, particularly in first year effect, so perhaps 
best treated as annuals. Tall succulent stems, each bear¬ 
ing four densely piled rows of lanceolate leaves, arranged in 
even cross formation. Unique coloring, the entire plant a 
silvered blue-green. Pkt. 10c. 
41 EUPHORBIA MYRSINITES—erbdkt(2-9) 10. Fat blue- 
green leaves set along many half-decumbent stems. Each 
stem ends in bright yellow flower-crown. Valuable hardy 
ornamental succulent, for rock garden, beds or borders. Pkt. 
15c; i*s oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c; 
10 for $2.00.) 
21 EUPHORBIA NICAENSIS—rbkt(3)18. It might almost 
be called a later Euphorbia polychroma, for it gives the 
same bright effect, and follows that species in a close suc¬ 
cession of blooming. Recommended. Pkt. 20c. 
45 EUPHORBIA OBESA—w. Curious succulent, a living 
baseball with checkered cover. Germinates slowly and un¬ 
evenly, but quite surely. Seeds, 2 for 25c. 
21 EUPHORBIA POLYCHROMA—erbkt(2) (6)16. No hardy 
perennial that we grow makes a more gorgeous showing 
during its. season of bloom, than this Euphorbia. The 
effect, as in all Euphorbias, is given by the great heads 
of golden floral leaves. Then, after the blooming, the 
showing of clustered red seed capsules is nearly as bright, 
and in late autumn again, there is a crimsoning of the 
foliage that yields it another season of exclamation. Pkt. 20c. 
(Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c.) 
25 EUPHORBIA PULCHERRIMA—(w). True Christmas 
Poinsettia. Red gayety. Rather easy. Pkt. 25c. 
25 EUPHORBIA SPLENDENS—w. Crown of Thorns. Showy 
orange-scarlet flower-bracts. Pkt. 20c. 
OFFER 59A9—One pkt. each of glass culture species, 
Aphylla, Canariensis, Caput-Madusae, Obesa, Pulcherrima 
and Splendens, for $1.15. 
OFFER 60A9—One pkt. each of garden culture species, be¬ 
ing Biglandulosa, Corollata, Lathyrus, Myrsinites, Nicaensis, 
and Polychroma, for 90c. 
OTHER EUPHORBIAS—Pkts. each 10c. Exigua, Nutans, 
Segetalis. 
EUPHORBIA NOMENCLATURE—We have thought it best 
to follow usual horticultural classification and namings, 
rather than to be rigidly correct from the technical botanical 
viewpoint, and hence with a quite unlucid gift of tongues 
so far as gardening laity would be concerned. 
BLUE FIELD LILY 
It is Eustoma Russellianum, the Lisianthus of certain 
botanists, and without regard to namings, a gloriously beau¬ 
tiful thing. Drummond, who first collected seeds of it, 
claimed that it was "not excelled in beauty by any other 
plant”. The blossoms are big wide bells of clearest 
blue, but patched purple within. It blooms over a long 
period, and makes a spectacular display. The seeds are 
fine, and a bit slow in germination. Perhaps best time to 
sow is at first possible moment in the spring, or, failing 
that, then in very late autumn. This plant needs lime in 
the soil. It rarely succeeds without, but fortunately it’s 
easy to add. Winter-hardy, but not long-lived. Usually 
treated as a biennial, but will flower first year if grown 
thriftily. Worth every effort. Pkt. 15c. 
22 EUPHRASIA BROWNI—Lovely, but difficult. Pkt. 15c. 
33 EUSTYLIS PURPUREA—Blue Tigridia. See page 4. 
Pkt. 25c. 
22 EXACUM TERES — bkt(w)(3)50. Racemes of showy 
flowers in richest blue-violet, a shade of deep intensity. 
It’s in the line of a giant Himalayan Gentian. Pkt. 15c.
