33 TICRIDIA or SHELL FLOWER 
Blossoms like brightly lighted, triangular, winged shells, 
such as might be found, but probably never are, along 
the coral strand of some southern sea. There are varied 
hues, often with a half-translucence, or sometimes with a 
gloss-finished opacity; yellow, pale or deep, or with tinge- 
ings of a pink-hinting apricot. Then there will be real 
pink, with rose, red, orange, lavender and white. Often 
the petals will be marked with vividly contrasting colors. 
Tigridia is a bulb of easiest culture, growing readily 
from seeds sown in shaded open-ground seed-beds in spring, 
and often, in thrifty plantings, giving some flowers same 
season seed is sown. The bulbs should be dug in late 
autumn, and carried over winter in the cellar, packed in 
sand. This is, we think, the finest mixture, so far as 
color variations are concerned, that we have ever offered 
in Tigridia seeds, and due to fortunate harvest, we are 
able to offer it at a lower price than ever before. It 
may not be so low again. We suggest that large sowings 
this spring are indicated. Illustrated, page 66. Pkt. 10c; 
% oz. 35c; oz. 60c; 1 oz. $2.00 ; ^ lb. $7.50.

‘TITHONIA AVALON EARLIEST 
For great spectacular effects, green walls set with 
flowers of living flame, no other taller annual surpasses, 
or even approaches this very easy, and gorgeous, Tithonia. 
Sow seed when soil is warm and weather settled, right 
where plants are to stand. By mid-July the plants will 
be burdened with bloom, full then until hard autumn 
freezes. The big, long-stemmed blossoms range from 
orange topaz, through tangerine, to those with burnished 
over-sheen of scarlet fire. This is our own selection, 
made from Tithonia tagetiflora, and comparative tests 
show it to be very much earlier in blooming than are other 
early strains selected from T. speciosa. ecbk(3-5)84. Pkt.

21 TRAILING ARBUTUS 
Epigaea repens. Prettiest and almost rarest flower of 
early spring, with pink-and-white bloom like daintier ap¬ 
ple-blossoms, endowed with the sweetest of tantalizing per¬ 
fumes. The evergreen foliage is highly decorative, undu¬ 
late, leathery in graining, and with olivine depth and rich¬ 
ness of coloring. Sow seed in mixture of sand and sifted 
acid-bearing fibrous material, such as leaf-mould, peat, or 
sphagnum moss. A bit slow, you will need patience.

21 TRILLIUM or WOOD LILY 
The Trilliums are delightful for shady places. The

times called Trinity Lily, all parts of the flower and foliage 
being in sets of three. Colorings range from snowiest 
white, through cream, blush suffusions, pink and rose, to 
red and plum purple; with others of lemon-buff. The
