N.  filifolia 
Fall blooming with evergreen thread-like leaves 
6 to 8 inches long. Flowers dark pink with 
narrow wavy segments, pistil and stamens 
longer than segments, borne six to ten in an 
umbel on wiry stems 12 to 15 inches tall. Fine 
for cutting and a real find for rock gardens 
and edgings for beds. Delivery January to 
May. 
$30.00 per 1000. Supply limited. 
N. rosea crispa 
Hybrid blooming before foliage reaches full 
growth and is especially desirable because its 
late flowering habit prolongs the season. 
Flowers similar to N. filifolia except a larger 
appearing head, a little lighter in color and 
petals twisted more, 12 to 18 in an umbel on 
a stem 15 to 18 inches tall. Foliage starts in 
fall about the time buds appear and dies in 
spring. Delivery early summer.

PASITHEA CAERULEA 
An exceptionally pretty plant recently introduced 
from Chile. Many very bright deep blue flowers 
one inch in diameter and with yellow stamens on 
a 3 to 5 foot stem with many small branches. 
Green foliage not very conspicuous. Flowers re- 
tain their color for several days after closing. 
Blooms from late winter to late spring in Santa 
Barbara. Very useful in the garden and as a cut 
flower. 
Should be planted where it can remain undis- 
turbed. Plant consists of a modified crown and 
small round tubers joined together and to the 
crown by very thin, fibrous roots. New and old 
plants should be started in early fall and kept well 
watered until late in spring. Must be thoroughly 
dried out during the summer. Does best in well- 
drained loam soil. Requires very little fertilizer.

the summer. Cuts well. Delivery February to May.
