of pale red-violet in earliest spring. Pkt. 15c. 
31 CROCUS ZONATUS — ry(4)6. It blossoms only in 
autumn, but then with a generous surprise of lavender 
cup-flowers, these zoned orange deep within. It is always 
in good demand, and it may be profitably propagated in 
quantity by sowing the seed in open-ground seed beds dur¬ 
ing late autumn. Pkt. 10c ; % oz. 35c ; ^/i oz. 60c. 
*CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS -- ebk(4)60. Tall, branch¬

Temple Evergreen of Japan. Pkt. 10c.

are of the easiest possible culture, coming quickly from seed. 
*CUPHEA AVALON BRILLIANCE—ex(8)20. Flowers of 
an outstanding brilliance, a live-coal cerise-scarlet. Although

variety Firefly. Most noticeable difference upon compara¬ 
tive test is that our variety seems to average a few inches 
taller. Pkt. 15c. 
*CUPHEA AVALON HYBRIDS—Wonderfully varied color¬ 
ations. We yield to none on this. Described, page 5. 
Illustrated, page 8. Pkt. 15c.

and exceedingly bright cerise-purple. Plants diffuse. Pkt. 15c. 
*CUPHEA LANCEOLATA—ebx(8)40. An altogether dif¬ 
ferent, but exceedingly attractive annual Cuphea that was 
formerly known as Parsonsia. The flowers are curiously 
formed, the two large upper petals of richest maroon, 
shaded and veined with velvety blackness; the very much 
smaller lower petals are crimson. The blossoms are carried 
along lithe willowy stems, and there is a constant showing 
of them, from June until latest autumn. Pkt. 15c. 
OFFER 44.49-—One pkt. each of the four for 55c. 
CUPHEA NOTE—Beside being easy garden annuals, the 
Cupheas all make showy and long floriferous pot plants for 
window culture. Try them in window and porch boxes, too. 
HARDY CYCLAMEN 
The Hardy Cyclamen makes a charming rock garden 
plant; or use it against old walls, and in leaf-nestling col¬ 
onies aboiit the roots of some great tree, where on a cold 
day of earliest spring or late autumn, its jewel-bright blos¬ 
soms may yield us a sudden blood-warming thrill of 
discovery. For its own happiness, give Cyclamen a little 
lime for its roots, a few crumbled fragments below it of old 
mortar will do the service. It likes a bit of shade, but 
where the roots have deep soil, will bear sun well. The 
seed, as always with Cyclamen, is slow germinating, but 
seems sure to come eventually.

soft pink, crimson-shaded. Brilliant green foliage, splashed
