* 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. Pkt.

THE CHERRY SUNBRIGHT 
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 so con- 
fused 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- 
ious cherry rose, are carried in airy sprays on stems so 
fine as to be near-invisible. Attractive foliage, succulent

ery and glossy, with dainty flower-spikes of rose in late sum- 
mer. 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 
effect of Box, but it is quicker, hardier, richer than any 
Box. Evergreen. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c;

21 THYMUS 
We 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 
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

for 70c; 10 (of a kind) for $2.10.

33 TIGRIDIA or SHELL FLOWER 
Blossoms like brightly lighted, triangular, winged shells. — 
There. are varied hues, often with a half-translucence, or 
sometimes with a gloss-finished opacity; yellow, pale or deep, 
or with tingeings 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 a splendidly varied color mixture. Illustrated
