21 CYPSOPHILA or BABY BREATH 
The Gypsophilas are valued for delicate, misty border 
effects, but also for cutting, adding lightness and airy 
grace to a bouquet or flower arrangement. For a full 
cutting succession all season long, use Paniculata, Mangini, 
Paciflca and Oldhamiana, each of these being just nicely 
into its blooming as its predecessor leaves off.

pretty pink-and-white, profuse and diffuse. Particularly 
good. A bit earlier than Paciflca. Pkt. 10c; A oz. 20c.

in close but graceful terminal panicles. Pkt. 10c; % oz.

here, individual flowers larger than in the others, yet car¬ 
ried in most graceful open spray formations. Excellent for 
use in mixed bouquets, or will be a delight in the hardy 
border, for the plants have an erect arching carriage that 
gives them value as decorative specimens. Soft delicate 
pink. Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c. (Plants each 40c.)

a few mild days will bring established plants into bloom 
in late winter ; failing these, it will bloom in early March.

itself after moving. Eventually will make great masses of 
attractive foliage. Illustrated on opposite page. cbyl8.

buff, gold, orange, and copper, with tawny shadings and 
ruddy overlays. Many will be fragrant, all are hardy. Seed 
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 before soil is too warm, either in 
spring or in late autumn. 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; ^ oz, 35c;

interesting color combinations here. Plants also available 
of certain botanical species. Let us quote. 
21 HEMEROCALLIS MINOR—The daintiest Day Lily, the 
one species small enough for the rock garden, and in some 
ways the best of all of them. It grows to 16 inches, com¬ 
pact clumps of narrow foliage. The flowers are flaring 
trumpets of soft butter-yellow, each petal deepening to an 
orange center stripe, and slightly darker in reverse. The 
blossoms are sweetly fragrant, and come in late May. All 
through June they are in full flower, but there is hardly a 
day all summer when a bloom does not appear, these more 
numerous as autumn days cool. Plants only, each 30c; 
3 for 85c.
