Farreri. One of the loveliest; from grassy tufts are long grass-cloth- 
ed branches terminating in huge sky-blue trumpets, not a pure sky- 
blue, but an exciting blue mixed with a little green; white throats 
purple striped outside, 75c.

shoots, each terminating in a large pure blue chalice. 60c.

and enormous brilliant turquoise-blue flowers, the outside striped 
with green and purple. 75c. 
G. Orfordi. Prostrate; with thick dark green oval pointed overlapping

ground-cover this plant is excellent. 60c. 
. septemfida. An easy-to-grow gentian in any cool place; flowers 
fringed and deep blue. 50c. 
Sikokiana. A prostrate species with maroon-green leafy branches 
turned up at the ends to support the large bright blue flowers.

smaller more sombre blue flowers. A late bloomer. 50c.

GERANIACEAE 
From the crane’s bill family have been chosen a few of the loveliest 
ones, tidy in habit and free of ample-sized bloom. Given sunny banks 
and ledges and ordinary loam, they ask for nothing more than to be 
let alone to bloom the summer through. 
Erodium supracanum. Finely cut silvery foliage with deep rose flow- 
ers. 75c. 
Geranium cinereum. Ashy foliage and pink flowers. 50c. 
G. 
Pylzowianum. Threads its way daintily from crevice to ledge on 
running rootstocks, sending up finely lobed leaves and madder-pink 
flowers an inch across. Thrives under the most meagre conditions. 
40c. 
. sanguineum. A tangled growth of wiry branches and round lobed 
leaves; myriads of rich magenta flowers—a high mountain color—an 
inch across. 25c.
