The lovable garden is that which is not too obviously 
a garden. To build such a one, the gardener must 
co-operate with his plant material in appreciative 
understanding of its characteristics and its needs, 
rather than attempt simply to show his mastery of it.

Pink. From low rosettes, rise stout stems that terminate 
in spikes of pretty starry flowers, pink-opal, with anthers

so it is if grown in full sun, but it is likewise shade- 
tolerant, and in light shade it will grow in ordinary garden 
soils. It will thrive under “Primrose” conditions. Also 
makes an unusual and effective potplant. Pkt. 25c. (Plants, 
each 75c; 3 for $2.00.)

21 HEMEROCALLIS SUPER-HYBRIDS 
Gorgeous Day Lilies here, those splendid giant-flowered, 
rare-toned kinds that have been so much of late in horti¬ 
cultural news. Marvelous harmony-delights in lemon,- buff, 
gold, orange, and copper, with tawny shadings and ruddy 
overlays. Many will be fragrant, all are hardy. Seed 
offered under this name is saved altogether from finest 
named hybrid sorts. There should be wonderful variation 
in plants produced from it, from excellent to super-so. 
Hemerocallis seed grows with great readiness if sown be¬ 
fore soil is too warm, either in spring or in late autumn. 
It can be sown in summer, too, but then be sure to shade 
the seed-bed. Day Lilies cut well, and always they are 
ornamental in the border. They seem to have no diseases, 
and given any chance at all, they will thriftily take care 
of themselves, “kt” culture. Pkt. 20c; 3 ^ oz. 35c; % oz. 
60c; % oz. $ 1 . 00 .

pollen-transfer from species to species, also. This blend 
will give a wide variety of good Day Lilies. Pkt. 10c; 
Ys oz. 30c; % oz. 45c.

to kinds marked “e,” these being relatively easy if 
directions are followed. When successful experience 
has been gained, it will be time for the harder kinds. 
42 HESPERALOE PARVIFLORA—k(w) (3)45. Called Red 
Yucca, although it seems to place between Yucca and Agave. 
Almost hardy, but needs sheltered position, and winter 
protection above Washington. North, handles well as a 
tub plant. Tall inflorescence of rose-red bells. Pkt. 15c. 
35 HESPERANTHERA BUHRI — x(w) (1-7)9. Pink buds 
open to fragrant white at dusk. Pkt. 20c. 
HESPERIS ALPINA—ebx(2)36. It throws itself so heartily 
into the mass production of beauty that it is apt to ex¬ 
haust its strength in a single season. It is easy, though, 
to keep a succession of plants, for no species germinates 
more readily. Great bloom-panicles in w'hat I think of, 
for no good reason, as the “paint” range, lavender, lilac, 
mauve, violet and purple, palest flushings to deep vividness. 
Pkt. 15c.
