33 LAPEIROUSIA or ANOMATHECA 
Easy, free-flowering bulbs, often blooming first year from 
seed. Hardy with protection at Philadelphia, or may be 
stored in sand over winter. Also the Lapeirousias all make 
excellent bulbs for window pot growing, being near to 
ever-blooming. Colorings range from red-blotched whites, 
through rose, heliotrope and purple to carmine. Blossoms 
are carried in 12-inch sprays. ‘“k’ or ‘“‘w’ culture. Fine 
mixture. Pkt. 15c. See Treasure Chest for separate species. 
21 LAWN CHAMOMILE 
Older England knew its many virtues as a lawn-maker, 
and in Elizabethan times lawns were as likely to be of 
Chamomile as of grass. The foliage is finely cut, and 
the green of it is rich and bright, a particularly attrac- 
tive shade. It makes a lawn that is dense and velvety, 
springy to the tread, yielding at each step a pleasant fra- 
grance. Chamomile lawns are highly resistant to drought, 
fresh and green during the hottest, dryest of weather. 
Chamomile may be mowed, as grass, but set the mower a bit 
higher. In wilder parts of the grounds, if one does not mind 
greater depth to it, nor the pretty little white daisies that 
will show for a while, mowing may be forgotten. Rooted 
divisions transplanted 18 inches apart each way, will quickly 
spread to a good lawn. That means about 100 divisions to 
160 square feet of lawn. This is Anthemis nobilis. Plants, 
rooted divisions, 20 for $1.00, 100 for $4.00, 250 for $9.00.
