21 BOLTONIA LATISQUAMA—ebx60. Excellent  long- 
blooming perennial of late summer and early autumn. Aster- 
shaped daisy-flowers of blush white to pale pink. Open, 
airy. Two forms, EARLY, blooming August to mid-Septem- 
ber. LATE, blooming early September, until well toward 
the end of October. For a full season of bloom, you need 
both. Either form, pkt. 5c; 4% oz. 25c. 
55 BORONIA MEGASTIGMA—*eobk(w) (4)25. Called ‘“‘the 
world’s sweetest flower’ from the delightful and pervasive 
perfume. Flowers of rich maroon, yellow within, make a 
splendid showing for some three months. Heath-like foliage. 
A superb pot plant. If sown early, it may even be treated 
as a summer-flowering annual in the open garden border, 
so quickly does it come into bloom. Pkt. 15c. 
21 BOYKINIA ELATA—rmstkt(2)22. Pretty, creamy flowers 
above ivy-shaped leaves. A Saxifrage cousin, fitted to the 
damp, shady rock garden. Pkt. 20c. 
21 BOYKINIA JAMESI—tThe last in a carmine pink edi- 
tion. Pkt. 25c. 
35 BOWIEA VOLUBILIS—ek(w) (9). Oddest of pot-culture 
bulbs, sending up slender, succulent stems, altogether leaf- 
less, much-branched, decorative tangles. Easy; curious. 
Botanically Schizobasopsis. Pkt. 15c. (Bulbs, each 35c.) 
*BRACHYCOME MIXED—erbx(8)10. ‘‘Cineraria-daisies” in 
rose, white and brilliant blues. Pkt. 5c. 
21 HARDY BORDER BLEND 
Here is where the hardy perennial garden, the permanent 
border, and the cutting garden come into their own. We 
have made up a mixture of seeds of winter-hardy peren- 
nials, including only those tall enough, vigorous enough and 
handsome enough to grace the most particular of hardy 
plantings. Seeds of not less than 100 kinds have gone into 
this blend, and included are many decidedly out of the 
usual run, rare kinds that you will enjoy. Mostly they are 
rather quick and easy germinators, but a few are slow, so 
do not disturb the seed-bed too soon, else you may lose 
such. Special large pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 385c; %4 oz. 60c. 
32 BRODIAEA FOR DELIGHT 
The rather tall and slender stems bear clusters of waxen 
flowers that vary from close trumpets to wide stars; in 
color from tinted white, to lilac, lavender and purple. Then 
there are others that are close to indigo, rosy pink, or yel- 
low with salmon shadings. They are hardy and long-lived 
bulbs if planted fairly deeply in well drained soil, and given 
a bit of winter mulching in the way of straw or litter. 
We offer here a splendid blend. ryt. Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 40c; 
% oz. 75e. Illustrated page 6. (Bulbs, Sept.-Oct. delivery

382 BRODIAEA SPECIES—Capitata 10c; Douglasi 10c; 
Grandiflora 10c; Lactea 10c; Laxa 15¢e; Coccinea 15c; 
Volubilis 15c; Ixioides splendens 10c. 
The soil from which it springs, limits ever the har- 
pect ey citer the garnering be of grain, thought, 
or deed. 

33 BRAVOA GEMINIFLORA—Rare but easy Mexican bulb, 
needing same handling as Tuberose, to which, indeed, it is 
closely related. Sometimes it is called Red Tuberose. The 
waxy, tubular blossoms always hang in pairs, but many of 
them open at once, panicles of the twin flowers. The color 
is really more of a rosy coral than it is a true red. Each 
85¢c; 3 for $1.00. 
*BROWALLIA ELATA MIXED — ecbx(2-4)27. Blue or 
white blossoms. Easy. Showy. Pkt. 5c; %& oz. 20c. 
*BROWALLIA SAPPHIRE—erx(3-5)10. Deep sapphire-blue 
flowers with white eyes cover the low, even 10-inch plants. 
Splendid for beds, edgings, window boxes, or as a house 
plant. Pkt. 20c. 
51 BUDDLEIA PEERLESS BLEND—ex. Butterfly Bush. 
Flowers in long massive racemes, showy blue to rich violet, 
often with orange eye. Then there will be pink, crimson 
and white, for the blend includes seeds of rare species in 
diverse and unusual colorings. While we have marked this 
as “51,” a hardy shrub, it must be understood that not all 
of the seedlings, because of certain unique species included, 
will be of equal hardiness. Even those that are not stem- 
hardy north, will be root-hardy if well-mulched, and since 
they bloom on new wood, they will give excellent flower 
showing. Pkt. 15c; */ig oz. 30c. 
THE CACTUS GARDEN 
Plants valued alike for bizarre form and for lovely flow- 
ering. Blossoms may be primrose, lemon, gold, cinnabar, 
pure red, purple, rose, pink, or in varied shadings within 
the same bloom. Strikingly decorative whether grown in- 
doors or out. Some are winter-hardy.

Big flowers of a particularly bright lemon yellow. A row 
of this Cactus at Old Orchard is a wide band of burnished 
lemon-gold for many weeks, accented here and there by the 
warm winecup crimson of Callirhoe, strayed over from a 
planting nearby. The buds remind one of roses about to 
open. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 80c; % oz. 50c. (Plants, each 15c; 
3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00.)
