*ACTINOTIS HELIANTHI—ck(4)16. The Australian Flan- 
nel-flower. Rare, and attractive. The two-inch blossoms 
seem cut from white flannel. Pkt. 15c.

of silvery blue. See page 3. Pkt. 20c. 
21 ADENOPHORA LILIFOLIA—*eocbx(2-3)36. Fountains 
of loosely swung bell blossoms, daintily perfumed, that may

species. Illustrated page 28. Pkt. 15ce. 
21 ADENOPHORA POTANINI—ebx(8-4)32. The plants 
stately spires, more definitely spire-like, perhaps, than those

violet bells carried in extreme profusion. Graceful carriage. 
Pkt: L5c. 
21 ADENOPHORA STRICTA—*ebx(38-5)60. Tallest of the 
Spire-bells. Many long and slender stems, scantily branched,

of softest blue. Pkt. 15c. 
21 ADENOPHORA VERTICILLATA—ebx (3-4) 24. Many 
stems that carry loose clusters of flaring bells in soft blue.

member all packets in any lot of four must be one 
variety, and all ordered at one time. No exceptions 
to this rule.

ary Island pot plant. Bushy branches tipped with Semper- 
vivum-like rosettes, fat and silvery. Pkt. 20c. 
24 AGAPANTHUS or AFRICAN LILY 
The glorious Nile Lily is easy to grow and easy to have. 
In summer stems rise to three or four feet, carrying great 
umbels of handsome trumpet-flowers, spread and split to 
starry form. The petals are heavy and waxy, the color any- 
thing from amethyst to indigo, or rarely, of purest enamel 
whiteness. Sweetly fragrant. First year of blooming, there 
may not be more than 10 to 15 flowers, but older plants will 
show many more. One plant at Old Orchard this summer 
had a single umbel on a four-foot stem that opened more 
than 160 individual blossoms, making a strikingly decorative 
specimen. Even when not in bloom, Agapanthus is orna- 
mental, with its masses of wide ribbon-like foliage. It is 
semi-tuberous. Seeds, mixed, a little white but dominantly 
varied blues. 
(Plants, semi-dormant divisions, spring delivery only, each 
$1.00). We can supply also the variety MOOREANUS, 
dwarfer than the type, only half the height, and claimed 
to have a greater degree of winter hardiness. With care 
and mulching can probably be wintered outside to about 
Baltimore. Seeds only of this, no plants, at 20c the pkt. 
HOW TO GROW AGAPANTHUS—Agapanthus is usually 
grown in the North in large pots, or better yet, in cedar 
tubs or cypress boxes, being placed out of doors in the 
summer, but in late autumn being carried into light, frost- 
proof storage. It will winter very well in a cellar that is 
not too dark. In winter storage it makes little growth, 
usually losing its larger leaves, but when carried outside in 
spring, it sends up new leaves quickly. Agapanthus, like 
Calla, needs plenty of water during the growing season, an 
amount that might be considered in excess with other plants. 
It grows readily from seeds sown outside in shaded seed- 
beds in spring, or under glass at any season of the year.

21 AETHIONEMAS 
They grow on sunshot limestone cliffs of the Lebanon, on 
hillsides of Armenia, in creviced ruined walls of Persia, 
jeweling column-strewn terraces where ancient kings were 
proud. Farrer called them “precious and exquisite.’ In 
all humbleness we add another adjective, ‘‘valiant,’”’ for 
plants so enduring (and adaptable), deserve that small 
guerdon. Rather though, it is we who gain them for our 
gardens, that are rewarded. 
21 AETHIONEMA CORIDIFOLIUM—erltx (2-3)10. Flowers 
of pure pink, carried in wide dense dome-clusters, un- 
branching, but many of them on each spreading bushlet. 
The leaves are fat, almost succulent, deep blue-green. Pkt. 
15e. (Plants, each 30c; 8 for 85c.) 
21 AETHIONEMA GRANDIFLORUM—erltx (2-3)12. A Per- 
sian beauty. Lovely pink flowers, loosely clustered, and larger 
eee in other Aethionemas. Pkt. 15c. (Young plants, each 
c. 
21 AETHIONEMA- PULCHELLUM—erkt(2)9. A delight. 
Irregular mounds of slender blue-silvered foliage and rose- 
pink flowers. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 30c; 8 for 85c; 
10 for $2.50.) 
21 AETHIONEMA SHISTOSUM—erx(2)6. Narrow, blue- 
silvered foliage neatly placed. Flowerheads of pure pink, 
individual florets rather larger than in other Aethionemas. 
This species is likely somewhat more tolerant of soil acidity 
than are the others. Pkt. 20c. 
21 AETHIONEMA WARLEY ROSE—erkt(2)5. A dwarf 
low thicket of twiggy branches set with leaves of gray-blue, 
each branch ending in a little Byzantine dome-let that is 
rose, rather than pink. Likely a hybrid. Desirable. Pkt. 
15e. (Plants, each 35c; 3 for $1.00.). 
OFFER 8A1—One pkt. each of above for 70c. 

It is not your garden unless you have built yourself 
into and through it. Buy it as the readymade product 
of the labor and loving thought of others, and it can 
be yours only de jure. 

21 AGAVE VIRGINICA—eobx(3)84. A winter-hardy succu- 
lent for the border. Blue-green rosettes from which rise 
tall fat stems that carry an odd, widely-spaced inflorescence 
of russet yellow. Flowers with a sweet pervading fragrance. 
Good decorative effects. This plant is now placed in genus 
Manfreda. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 25c.) 
25 AGAVE TENDER BLEND—Here are the frost-tender 
Agaves, kinds for pot or tub culture. Plants of a massive 
majesty, with leaves like thick swords, toothed or spiked,

derings or marbled color stains. Finally come great spires 
of bloom in the tawny buff, rosy salmon, and brown range.
