35 TRITONIA HYALINA 
Sprays of exquisitely formed blossoms; sparkling, half- 
translucent salmon pink. It’s another “Cape” bulb that 
forces for winter blooming with the greatest of good will, 
and it may be had in flower within a few months from 
seed. Give same handling of seeds and bulbs as for 
Lachenalia. Pkt. 26c. (Bulbs, fall delivery only, 3 for 40c.)

dwarf, with sheafs of flat, widely open flowers of lovely

31 TULIPA SPECIES—The species or “botanical” Tulips 
are charming rock garden bulbs, many of them so utterly 
different from the Garden Hybrids (Darwins, Breeders, 
Cottage and the like), that it is hard to believe that they 
belong to the same genus, “y” culture. You will need 
a bit of patience, but the only way to get most of them, 
is to grow them from seed. Batalini, 20c; Boissieri 25c; 
Dasystemon 26c; Fosteriana 20c; Greggi, 20c; Praecox 30c; 
Praestans 20c; Sharonensis 60c; Sprengeri 20c; Stellata

% oz. 50c. 
31 TULIP GARDEN HYBRIDS — cby(2)28. Saved from 
named Darwin, Breeder and Cottage sorts. Extraordinary 
color range. Offered for experimental production of new 
seedling varieties. Pkt. 16c; % oz. 36c. 
21 TUNICA SAXIFRAGA—*erdx(8)10. A pink mistiness 
of blossom-haze from June till winter. Pkt. 6c. 
21 THE TURFING DAISY 
A spreading, densely fern-leaved perennial that naturally 
will form a close tight turf, long-enduring and wear-re¬ 
sisting. Recommended for much-trodden places, for dry 
banks, or even beneath trees if shade be not too heavy. 
In June the feathery mat will be starred with little white 
daisies, but if you do not want them, just run the lawn- 
mover over them. It will grow where grass will not. Sow 
in seed beds, then transplant to stand a few inches apart 
each way. Shoots will reach out, rooting as they grow, 
and soon there will be solid turf. Botanically this is Matri¬ 
caria Tchihatchewi. Due to enormously and suddenly in¬ 
creased demand for the Turfing Daisy, we find ourselves 
sold out of the good quantity of seed that we harvested this 
summer at Old Orchard, save a limited amount that we 
had put up in retail packets. If you are interested in the 
seed by the fraction of an ounce, or the ounce, we shall be 
glad to quote you on request, for delivery after harvest 
1939. Meanwhile we shall be able to supply liberal pkts. 
for immediate delivery, at 15c each, until stock of them is 
exhausted. 
TURFING DAISY PLANTS—We now have ample stocks 
of these, and can supply good rooted divisions at 15 for 
$1.00; 60 for $2.76; 100 for $5.00; 250 for $11.00. While 
the divisions may appear small, and will have only a few 
thread-like roots, this is, by reason of the nature of the 
plant and its habits, the size in which they can best, and 
should be handled. Transplant them promptly upon arrival 
into well-prepared soil, using a bit of water at the roots 
of each, spacing them at 12 to 15 inch intervals, and they 
will soon spread to form a close turf. Turfing Daisy plants 
can be supplied from April 1st to July 1st, and again from 
Sept. Ist to Nov. 15th. We prefer not to ship them during 
the summer months. 
32 URGINEA MARITIMA—ebk(4)40. Trusses of white 
blossoms with purple keels. Rather decorative, but needs 
careful winter protection. May also be grown as a pot- 
bulb. The actual bulbs are used in medicine, and in 
rodenticide preparations. Called Sea-squill. Pkt. 15c. 
21 FLOWERING GORSE 
At Old Orchard this year, our plants of Ulex nanus, the 
Dwarf Furze or Flowering Gorse, were still in full glory 
of golden bloom when they were buried by the freak Thanks¬ 
giving Day snowstorm, and they had been in bloom for a 
long time, beside a showing of flowers in the spring. 
Gorse is always handsome, with its curious dark-green needle- 
fur branchings even when not in bloom. It is, altogether, 
an attractive plant. North, it is best considered as a root- 
hardy perennial, behaving like Peony or perennial Phlox, 
although the stems and branches will usually carry over 
also to at least New York, “y” culture. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
20c; % oz. 35c. 
21 UVULARIA GRANDIFLORA—^rbsty(2)18. Merry Bells. 
Pretty bell-blossoms of rich creamy yellowness. Pkt. 15c. 
*VACCARIA PYRAMIDATA—X. Easy, quick. Pink. Pkt. 
5c. 
51 VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM — jbamy(2)72. Giant 
Blueberry. From cultivated plants of named large-fruited 
sorts. Big fruits, most delicious in flavor. Also worthy of 
cultivation as an ornamental shrub, with pink-tinted white 
urn-blossoms in spring, and gorgeous scarlet foliage in 
autumn. Pkt. 20c; special large pkg., 60c; % oz. 75c. 
21 VALERIANA SITCHENSIS—^bstyt(2)20. Fragrant flowers 
of softest blush suffusions, clustered and anther-fluffed. A 
timber-line delight of western mountains. Pkt. 15c. 
21 VALERIANA SUPINA—ryt(3)9. Sprawling mounds, 
hidden in summer by massed clusters of waxen blossoms, 
pearl-pink and exquisitely perfumed. Pkt. 20c. 
35 SCARBOROUGH LILY 
It is Vallota purpurea, a showy flowering bulb in the 
Amaryllis relationship. The large, clustered flowers vary 
from pure scarlet to rich, dark red. Makes a famous pot 
plant, or planted deeply in sheltered places, established 
bulbs will often winter outside. Sow in frames, or a 
sunny window. Pkt. 20c. 
35 VELTHEIMIA GLAUCA 
An extraordinary bulb-flower, quite unlike any other, and 
highly decorative in both leaf and bloom. Its natural 
season of blossoming is the winter, and it seems particularly 
adapted for window culture. Seeds germinate quickly and 
strongly. It takes three to four years to reach blooming 
size, but the effect of the handsome blue-green foliage, 
half-succulent and crispy, glossy and undulate, is com¬ 
pensation meanwhile. Finally will come heavy, long-stem¬ 
med trusses of rosy pink flowers, tinged with buff and 
cinnabar. Seeds may be sown in pots or pans at any 
time of year, or in open-ground shaded seed-beds in spring, 
the seedling Wlbs being transplanted to pots in late autumn. 
Pkt. 25c. (Big bulbs, fall delivery only, one dollar each.) 
VERBASCUM HARDY BORDER BLEND—efbx(2-3). No 
hardy plant will give more striking decorative specimens.

rich purple violet. Foliage, down-silvered or leather¬ 
grained. Height, 3 to 7 feet. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c. 
VERBASCUM PHOENICEUM HYBRIDS — erbcdstx(8)25. 
Hyacinth Mullein. Blossoms of daintiest charm in tall, 
slender “hyacinth” spikes. There will be cream, apple- 
blossom pink, rose, lavender, violet and purple of Tyre, 
above ground-hugging leaf-rosettes like pebbled morocco. 
Blooms long in spring, and again in autumn. See illustration, 
page 38, but usually spikes are fuller. Pkt. 10c. 
21 VERBASCUM WEIDEMANNIANUM—erbx(2-4)36. Tall, 
slender spikes of rich violet blossoms. Pkt. 10c.
