Gold of Araby. A curious sun-loving annual from the 
Arabian desert, Daisies of burnished old gold, tightly termi¬ 
nate each stem, while from paper-thin closeness beneath 
them, new rosettes of fern-leafed branches spray out. Each 
of these in turn is tipped with a bronze-red bud and as this 
unfolds to flower, another fern-rosette creeps out radiat- 
ingly from below. So it repeats itself, ad infinitum, or at 
least all summer, to put a slight limitation on infinity, until 
each plant is a mound of feminess, with flowers like bits of 
gold strewn through it. Pkt. 15c. 
CLEMATIS 
It is a group of many glories. Mostly, of course, it is 
known for flowering climbers of superb beauty, but it

perennial with great sprays of fragrant white flowers. 
Pkt. 16c. 
61 CLEMATIS SERRATIFOLIA—•erkt(3-4)60. This is a 
delightful species of easiest culture, a low, airy, herbaceous 
vine, but perhaps best when allowed to trail without 
support. It makes an excellent ground cover, a bulb cover, 
or a bank or terrace curtain, and it will fit the rock 
garden. Sown in very early spring, it will even floVver 
well first year. The blossoms are little loose bells of soft

first year. Pkt. 15c; Yg oz. 36c.

visible. Hardy, Pkt. 15c; oz. 50c.
