SWEET PEAS 
Blossoms in an exquisite grace of form, a daintiness of 
multi-varied color tone, a delicate sweetness of perfume 
that no other annual flower can show. Sow them early, 
an ounce to each 25 feet of row. 
*SWEET PEA FRILLED GIANT BLEND—The cream of 
the Giant Spencer or Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas; about 
every color, hue or tone that has appeared in Sweet Peas 
is here, but in careful balance of desirabilities, more of 
the light than of the dark, a bit of the fantastically lovely 
flaked and feathered section, but not too much. You will 
come back for more the second year; it’s that sort of blend.

^TAHOKA DAISY 
Big splendid daisies of purest blue-lavender, fading to 
rose, with golden yellow centers that stay yellow. Fern¬ 
like foliage, flower stems of good length, and the blos¬ 
soms carried continuously from mid-June until late 
autumn. Summer heat does not stop its blooming. It is 
the most satisfactory cutting annual to become known 
in many years. The Tahoka Daisy was originally intro¬ 
duced by ourselves, and we believe that our strain of it, 
being the introducer’s strain, and selected continually and 
carefully, is unexcelled. Illustrated page 62. Pkt. 15c; 
% oz. 25c; % oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.50. 
THE CHERRY SUNBRICHT 
It is, of course, Talinum calycinum, a hardy perennial, 
succulent, with root tubers, that will also bloom first 
year from seed. These many qualities of it, have bo 
confused the issue that we have put no marking before the 
name. Couldn’t decide 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 bo 
fine as to be near-invisible. Attractive foliage, succulent 
and brittle. Illustrated, page 47. Fine seeds. Pkt. 15c; 
1/16 oz. 50c; % oz. 90c; ^ oz. $1.50. (Plants, tubers, 
spring or fall delivery, 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00.) 
35 TALINUM PATENS—Good pot plant, with sprays of 
little rosy flowers, followed by golden seed-capsules. 
Thick, succulent, rich green foliage. Pkt. 10c; 1/16 oz. 35c. 
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. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, 
each 25c; 3 for 65c; 10 for $1.90.) 
21 TEUCRIUM SPECIES—At 15c the pkt. Flavum, Hirca- 
num (Kitten-tails), Scorodonia, Pseudachamaedrys. . 
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. S^ds 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 sti'ongly 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. 
BOOKS—Horticultural, outdoor, and fireside books 
in wide variety are interestingly described, with 
frank comments, in our Special Book Offer, sent on 
request. Ask for your copy. A SUGGESTION: for 
long, glad remembrance, no gift can be better than 
a book. 
21 THYMUS 
I like the Thymes. They have an air of elfin daintiness 
about them; an exquisite and aromatic grace of foliage 
and delicacy of blossom that seems to fit them particularly 
to the rock garden, the wall crevice, or the terrace pave¬ 
ment ; but beyond this, they will carpet low-spreadingly 
any open space, or cushion a bank. As plants, every 
small division with a wisp of rootlets, will grow and 
thrive. We think that perhaps this is the best way to 
get a start with them, so this year we are offering plants 
only. Following are available in large divisions at 25c 
each, 3 (of a kind) for 65c; 10 (of a kind) for $1.80. 
CITRIODORUS, lemon-scented. SERPYLLUM, flat, fine- 
leafed type, flowers pink to purple. PYRZEWALSKI, wide 
carpeting, lavender. HERBA-BARONA, pleasantly, spicily 
aromatic. CHAMAEDRYS, late blooming, good. For One 
Dollar we will send one plant each of the five kinds, lab¬ 
eled. Postage extra, see page one. 
OTHER EXCELLENT THYMES—Plants of following, 
small divisions, are available at 30c each. Odoratissimus, 
Britannicus, Giganteus, Lovyanus, Hirsutus, Lanicaulis. 
It should be noted that Thymus nomenclature tends to be 
horticultural, some of the above being technically .well- 
separated varieties of other species, rather than inde¬ 
pendent species. All are garden-good, and distinct.
