21 RUNNERLESS STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries of this group make no runners, are quite 
ornamental, bear from spring until latest autumn, and 
have medium-sized fruits of especially rich flavor. Valued 
in the small garden, or for decorative edgings, window boxes 
and the like. For further description and directions, 
see Strawberry Harzland, page 3. Culture “kt”. RUEGEN 
Delicious red fruits early and late. BARON SOLEMACHER 
—Fairly large red fruits, heavy fall yielder. WHITE 
BARON—Like last, but fruits white when dead ripe. BUSH 
ALPINE RED—Rose-tinted fruits. Perhaps best for uses 
chiefly ornamental, but not heavy fruit-yielder. BUSH

21 RUNNERLESS STRAWBERRIES MIXED — jkt(8)10. 
Six kinds in mixtiire. Pkt. 15c; 1/32 oz. 25c; fg oz. 45c. 
25 STRELITZIA or BIRD OF PARADISE 
STRELITZIA REGINAE—w. Great blue and gold flowers, 
oddly poised as if for a moment’s hesitant rest; a brilliant 
Jungle Bird above the broad banana foliage. Not hard to 
grow from seed, if one will have a bit of patience. The 
seeds need some extra heat to start them, preferably from 
below. This may be given by putting over, but not in 
contact with, a radiator, or a lighted electric bulb may be 
covered by an inverted pan, and the pot in which seed is 
sown, placed above. Watch soil moisture; neither powdery 
dryness nor sogginess. After they once get a start, the 
plants are of easy culture, tolerant even of neglect. 
Illustrated, page 56. Large, oddly crested seeds, 3 for 40c; 
8 for $1.00. 
25 CAPE PRIMROSE DELIGHT 
Streptocarpus, the Cape Primrose, makes a charming pot 
plant, everblooming, or at least in bloom for two-thirds of 
the year. Colors run from lilac pink, through lavender 
and purple, to royal crimson. Sometimes there may be 
white or rose. Flowers will be starry, tubular or Gloxinia¬ 
like. We offer a blend of selected species and finest hy¬ 
brids. Particularly interesting is the single-leaf group, 
illustrated, page 26 but the included larger-flowered kinds 
grow from basal rosettes, w. Pkt. 25c. 
25 SUCCULENTS TENDER ORNAMENTAL 
A mixture of diverse and bizarre succulents for pot cul¬ 
ture in sunny window or conservatory. May also be plunged 
in rock garden in summer, or even used for bedding if 
that appeals. Includes varied and interesting Mesambryan- 
themums, Lithops, Trichodiadema, Aloe, Agave, Stapelia, 
Euphorbia, Cotyledon, Aeonium, Gasteria, Faucaria, Hawor- 
thia, Kalanchoe, Notonia, Rochea and the like. Pkt. 15c. 
21 SUCCULENTS HARDY ORNAMENTAL 
Seeds of reasonably or fully hardy succulents and semi- 
succulents. Includes Lewesia, Sedum, Sempervivum, certain 
Saxifragas, Gormania, Yucca, Hesperoyucca, Agave Parryi, 
Hardy Euphorbias, Manfreda, Talinum, etc. Please note that 
some of these germinate quickly. Others are slow. Lift 
young seedlings carefully as soon as large enough, leaving 
balance of seed-bed undisturbed until one winter season has 
passed, since such seeds as those of Lewisia need cold to 
start them. Seeds of Cacti are not included in either mix¬ 
ture of succulents, being offered separately under Cactus 
in general list. Pkt. 15c. 
21 STOKESIA LAEVIS—ecrbnx(3-4)24. Beautiful large 
blossoms, like gigantic and fluffily-edged cornflowers, lav¬ 
ender tinted, bright blue, or purple. Splendid in border. 
Unexcelled for cutting. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
(Plants, each 25c; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.75.) 
21 STOKESIA LAEVIS ALBA—Pure white. Pkt. 10c; 
% oz. 40c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 65c.)

lilac. Plants only, 50c each.

rock or bank trailer. Purple flowers age to buff-pink. 
Pkt. 15c. 
21 STYLLOPHORUM DIPHYLLUM—rbstkt(2-3) 18. Poppy- 
flowers of yellow satin. Pkt. I5c. (Plants, each 40c.) 
*SUTHERLANDIA FRUTESCENS — Clusters of brilliant 
scarlet flowers. Sow in greenhouse or sunny window in 
early March, transplant outside in May, and by late summer 
your friends will be asking the name of the flower that 
is making such gorgeous display in your garden. Pkt. 16c. 
21 SWERTIA MULTICAULIS—ry(2)4. Himalayan alpine. 
Umbels of close-packed flowers of brilliant blue, the actual 
blossom-umbel twice as wide as plant is high. Pkt. 15c. 
21 SWERTIA SPECIOSA—by(3)48. Flowers white, with 
black lines and blue marblings, high-carried in loose 
clusters. Weird, but decorative Gentian-cousin. Pkt. 15c. 
21 SYMPHIANDRA PENDULA—See page 2. Pkt. 15c.

sapphire in autumn (and winter). Pkt. 15c.

foliage clumps, with really delightful blue-violet flowers 
above in early spring. Complete recommendation. Pkt. 15c. 
51 LILAC or TRUE SYRINCA 
We offer a blend of the lovely large-flowering Hybrid 
or “French” Lilacs. Immense trusses of blossoms, double 
or single, in white, pink, lilac rose, blue-violet, silvery blue, 
purple, claret and crimson. Mostly fragrant. Seeds saved 
from fine named sorts ; should produce rare beauties. Lilacs, 
by the way, grow rather readily from seed, and seedlings 
will often give a truss or two of bloom by the third year. 
Seeds sown in open ground seed beds or frames in late 
autumn or during early winter, will germinate strongly the 
next sping. Seeds sown outside in very early spring, will, 
if soil keeps cool, usually sprout within a few weeks. 
Should soil temperatures become too high, though, such 
seeds will sometimes lie dormant until the following spring. 
Lilac-time visitors at Old Orchard will know what this 
seed can produce, for we have a group of splendid seed¬ 
ling lilacs there. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 40c; % oz. 75c. 
*TAHOKA DAISY—Showy summer-blooming annual, our 
own introduction See page 5. Pkt. 15c. 
THE CHERRY SUNBRICHT 
It is, of course, Talinum calycinum, a hardy perennial, 
succulent, with root tubers, and that will also bloom first 
year from seed. These many qualities of it, have so 
confused the issue that we have put no marking before the 
name. Couldn’t deccide whether it should be 21, 41, 31 
or just (*), for all apply. It’s a compendium of delight. 
Try it in any hot dry place, full sun always, for an all¬ 
summer display of color brilliance. The blossoms, of lum¬ 
inous cherry-rose, are carried in airy sprays on stems so 
fine as to be near-invisible. Attractive foliage, succulent 
and brittle. Illustrated, page 16. Pkt. 20c; 1/32 oz. 40c. 
(Plants, tubers, 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 15 for $1.00.) 
TALINUMS—Patens 15c; Paniculatum 15c; Spinescens 25c. 
First two as pot plants. Spinescens for rock garden. 
21 TANACETUM—ebnkt(3)60. Yellow. Showy; aromatic. 
Either T. boreale or T. vulgare. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c. 
21 TELLIMA GRANDIFLORA—skt(2)30. White. Pkt. 15c. 
55 TELOPEA TR UNCAT A—w. Red blossoms. Pkt. 20c. 
25 TEMPLETONIA RETUSA—w(7). Scarlet Beauty. Pkt. 
20c. 
21 TEPHROSIA VIRGINIANA—rbndyt(2)18. Silver Pea. 
Blossoms in tones of lemon, saffron, and ecru, shading into 
rose and purple, cluster in gregarious profusion. Down- 
silvered foliage foizntains. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 35c. 
21 TETRANEURIS SPECIES — ’^ecrbkt(8)16. Attractive 
buttery daisies, mostly petalage, spring on long stems from 
tangles of leaves. Persistently everblooming. Pkt. 15c. 
21 TEUCRIUM CHAMAEDRYS—erbdk(4)20. Leaves leathery 
and glossy, with dainty flower-spikes of rose in late summer. 
Left to itself, its branches spread about with that graceful 
naturalness that is so pleasing in the larger rockery, but 
if closely clipped, the plants may be trained to make the 
most rigidly formal of low edging hedges. Then it gives 
an effect like that of dwarf Box, but its green has an 
added richness, and it is hardier, and comes on more quick¬ 
ly than any Box. Evergreen, of course. (Plants, each 
25c; 3 for 65c; 10 for $1.90 ; 25 for $4.50.) 
21 TEUCRIUM HIRCANUM—erbkt(3)18. Farrer compared 
the tapering bloom-spikes, packed in furry density with 
violet flowers, to the upright tails of happy kittens. That’s 
right enough, save that this Teucrium comes from Persia, 
and the tail of a Persian kitten should be more fluffy. An 
excellent species for rock garden or perennial border. Pkt, 
21 TEUCRIUM SPECIES—At 15c pkt. Flavum, Scorodonia. 
21 THALICTRUM AQUILEGIFOLIUM ROSEUM—cbyt(2) 
36. Great flattened tassel-sprays, rose to amethyst, very 
aii’y, graceful “Maidenhair Fern” foliage. A delight. 
Pkt. 15c.
