21 TRICYRTIS FOR SHADE 
This woodlander from Japanese hills will help solve that 
problem of late-blooming perennials for shady places.^ Tri- 
cyrtis hirta is a quaint and pretty Lily-cousin, growing to 
some thirty inches, many leafy stems, and filled in Sep¬ 
tember and October with fiowers of pure white, marbled 
with deep purple-violet. A blossom comes in the axil of 
each leaf, the fiowers are of recurved Lily-like form, but 
each centered with a pretty orchid-like structure that is 
hard to describe. Established plants may carry a hundred 
blossoms at once. Though it prefers shade, Tricyrtis will 
bloom well in full sun, too. crbstkt(5)30. Illustrated, “page 
44. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 30c; 3 for 85c.) 
21 INULA MACNIFICA 
Had this grown in old Peru, it should surely have been 
the emblem of the Incas, for every fiower on the great 
branching, man-high plants is a long-rayed golden sun, 
blossoms up to four inches across, little chestnut-toned 
disc-centers from which radiate the vast number of long 
and slender petals. No plant could carry a more appro¬ 
priate specific name, for it is a magnificent hardy peren¬ 
nial, capable, rightly placed, of spectacular effects. ebk(3)

21 NIEREMBERCIA RIVULARIS 
Big snowy, crinkly cups in Convolvulus reminder, fill, 
all spring and summer, the low, close-packed mats of 
leafage, all not over 5 inches high. Plants, each 30c; 3 
for 85c. 
21 BLUE SMOKE 
Someone has said that our planting of Annarrhinum 
bellidifolium, the airy racemes of graceful little blue fiow¬ 
ers swaying in a summer wind, was like a field of blue 
smoke. The blossoms are miniature blue Snapdragons, 
multitudinous in number, carried in many tall sprays. Of 
easy handling, and a perennial that will give effects both 
unusual and dainty. Illustrated above. *erbx(2-3)20. Pkt. 
15c; oz. 35c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 65c.) 
■^ANODA LAVATEROIDES 
This Anoda is a quick-growing annual of easiest culture, 
carrying chalice-fiowers, crinkly and lustrous. It is in flower 
within five weeks after the seeds are sown, and keeps on 
then until latest autumn. Indeed its best effects are given 
during the fall months. You may be a bit disappointed 
with it early, but you will like it better and better as the 
season progresses. We offer it in two varieties, and in 
mixture. OPALCUP, with flowers in just that delightful 
opaline coloring that lies between blue and pink; in sun 
called pink, in shadow blue. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c; % oz. 
35c. SNOWCUP blossom cups as white as new snow, and 
with the same gleaming, sun-shunting effect. Pkt. 16c; 
^ oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. ANODA LAVATEROIDES MIXED, 
varied lavenders, with white. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 26c; % oz. 
40c. Illustrated, page 62. 
^CASSIA ROEMERIANA 
Flowers of a particular rich and deep orange-gold. Ex¬ 
cellent pinnate foliage. In Mexico it is perennial, but in 
New Jersey it handles well as an outdoor garden annual. 
Sow the seed where the plants are to stand, any time 
from November to early April, and there will be flowers 
for three summer months. Pkt. 15c. 
32 PINE LILY or BLUE TICRIDIA 
Eustylis purpurea is not a Tigridia, though rather a close 
relative, and often so-called. The blossoms are formed in 
true shell-like Tigridia fashion, but a bit smaller, and 
more gracefully spreading. The petal-coloring is a rich 
blue-violet, marked with mahogany and patched with gold. 
Sown in late autumn or very early spring (while soil is 
cool), it will flower nicely first year. The bulbs should 
be dug in October and stored in sand over winter, just as 
one would care for Tigridias. However Eustylis is hardier 
than Tigridia, and will live over winter without digging 
at Philadelphia, if given slight protection. Bulbs are 
smaller than those of Tigridia. Flowering season covers 
many months. Illustrated, page 16. Pkt. 25c. (Bulbs, 
March-May delivery, each 30c; 3 for 85c.) 
31 LILIUM FORMOSANUM EARLY 
STRAIN 
Big trumpet blossoms of snowy white, but showing 
usually a bit of rosy shading in reverse. The plants are 
dwarf, that is to say about 25 inches high, and hold this 
height so evenly that not more than one plant out of a 
hundred will ordinarily vary as much as two inches from 
the average. The plants are strongly built, standing 
sturdily upright. The great value of the strain is that 
it blossoms early, in June here, nearly two months earlier 
than the regular * strains of Lilium formosanum. It is 
quite possible, too, that it is of greater winter hardiness, 
being an alpine form, though all Lilium formosanum 
strains seem to be as hardy as Lilium regale. This par¬ 
ticular strain is a form of Price’s Variety. Seeds germi¬ 
nate readily providing they are sown in ppen ground seed 
beds in either late autumn or early spring, and seedling 
plants will sometimes flower first year, quite certainly the 
second year. Pkt. 15c ; ^ oz. $1.00. 
21 SALVIA JURISICI 
A low-growing perennial Salvia from Bulgarian moun¬ 
tains that fits the rock garden. Wide spreads of hand¬ 
some feathery fern foliage, and spikes of excellent rich 
violet flowers. Blooms all spring, and often again in 
autumn. An unusual, and particularly good species, erx 
(2-4)9. Pkt. 25c. (Plants, each 50c.) 
21 THE DOUGLAS IRIS 
By its flowers, lovely undulate blossoms in rare tints 
and shadings, it might be almost an Orchid, so different 
it is from the Irises more usually grown. It is delight 
in the rock garden, yet just large enough for effectiveness 
in the mixed border. Sun or light shade will suit it, but 
it needs no lime. There will be flowers of white, cream, 
rosy tones, lilac and Cattleya shades, with lavender, violet 
and deep blue. Sow the seeds in late autumn for sure 
germination the following spring, or if sown in early 
spring, there may be some germination first summer,^ bal¬ 
ance coming following spring. Seeds may if one wishes, 
be sown directly where plants are to stand. Foliage of 
deep emerald fans. This is Iris Douglasiana. Illustrated, 
page 2. Seeds of forms offered separately will not neces¬ 
sarily come true, but all will be good, and not too distant 
from parent variety.
