BLUE FIELD LILY 
It is a gloriously beautiful thing, this Eustoma Russel- 
lianum, sometimes called Lisianthus. The blossoms are big, 
wide bells of clearest blue, but purple-patched within. In 
spectacular bloom for a long time. Fine seed, a bit slow 
in germinating. Sow at first possible moment in spring, 
or outside in late fall. Prefers a soil that is not too light, 
and if the soil is very acid, a bit of lime or finely broken 
old plaster should be added. Sow where it is to stand, or if 
it must be transplanted, then handle while seedlings are 
still small enough so that they can be moved in little soil 
blocks without much root disturbance. Pkt. 15c; 3/s2 oz. 
25c; 1/16 oz. 40c. 
EVERLASTINGS 
Everlastings or Strawflowers are used in the dried form 
for winter bouquets, being kinds that long hold their bright 
coloring or interesting form. Here are an even dozen of 
the better ones. Look up the separate descriptions under 
each name. We will send one packet each of Dipsacus, 
Helichrysum, Rhodanthe, Honesty, Gomphrena, Acroclinium,

ings should be sown early, while soil is still cool.

FORGET-ME-NOT 
And Myosotis of course, too, for they are one and the 
same. Delightful flowers these, but with a touch of pensive 
sadness, reminding us of old gardens, and by that virtue, 
of other past things that seem good to us now.

GARDENING IN THE RAIN. After long drought, 
come rain, a kind, firm rain that has set its mind 
to a purpose, and decided to stay the day. Then 
while panes splash and gardens delight, we shall 
enjoy our plant books, look over old catalogs, re- 
member last spring and plan for the next, sort 
seeds and bulbs, write out long wish-lists. It’s a 
lazy, dreamy sort of gardening that rests and renews. 

FELICIA BERGERIANA—erk (2-3)7. Winsome little Daisy- 
blossoms in light-stealing, heart-stealing ultra-indigo, thous- 
ands unnumbered of them for many weeks in that pleas- 
ant season that ends spring and begins summer. Pkt. 1l5c.

THE GAY GAZANIAS 
Here is continuous all-summer brightness for that dry, 
sunny spot. Foliage rosettes, green above, cottony below, 
are dominated by great daisies, wide-petaled, varying from 
lemon to richest, deepest orange, even at times with red 
approaches. Always they are zoned with a precisely serrated 
banding of red-brown or of a midnight blue-black. In the 
garden they may be handled as easy but vividly showy an- 
nuals. Actually they are quick-blooming, long-blooming 
tender perennials, and this fits them delightfully for win- 
dow culture or for greenhouse growing. Whether you sow 
them as annuals in the summer garden, or grow them as 
house plants, you are very sure to like them. erk(w)(8)9. 
Fine blend; includes new hybrids. Pkt. 15c; 3 pkts. for 40c. 
Few Americans are very far from the soil, but all 
Americans would be the better for being a bit 
closer to it. 
GAMOLEPIS TAGETES—erbx(3-4)9. The plants are a 
gleaming mass of golden flowers, the shredded foliage often 
quite hidden. Here is continuous, pleasing color for edgings 
or beds. Pkt. 10c; 1/16 oz. 20c; 1% oz. 35c. 
GAURA LINDHEIMERI—“ebdx(8)30. White butterflies of 
blossoms, blush-suffused, perch airily for many months along 
the slender, swaying stems. Attractive. Annual by courtesy 
(perennial that blooms first year). Pkt. 15c; 3 for 40c. 
GILIA ANNUAL MIXED—ercbx (3-4). Every garden should 
have these interesting flowers. White, with blue, lavender 
and pink-lilac. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c. 
GILIA CAPITATA—ecx (3-4)25. This is the new and bright 
sky blue selection of Queen Anne’s Thimble. A very pleas- 
ant flower. Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 25c. 
GLAUCIUM FLAVUM—eirk(9)8. This is a two-way, or at 
least two-purpose flower. Used as an annual, it is grown 
for the foliage only, feathery banks of glistening, frosty, 
silvery leafage. It may be sown in ‘position for edgings, used 
in the front of the border, or banked to fill a sunny cor- 
ner. It is actually a hardy perennial, and will give most 
pleasing satiny yellow blossoms the second year, and there- 
after. Pkt. 10c; 4% oz. 20c; 44 oz. 35c. 
GOLDEN-FLEECE—erkt(8)9. Delightful little golden flow- 
ers over shredded foliage for months on end. Prefers full 
sun and soil not too heavy. Sow it early. Edgings, rock

ically Thymophylla tenuiloba. Pkt. 15c.

heads in rich orange, white, flesh, rose and purple-crimson. 
Decorative in the garden, long-lasting when cut. Holds color 
and form when dried for winter bouquets. Called Globe 
Amaranth. Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 25c. 
- SATIN FLOWER 
Satin Flower and Godetia are names applied with Julietian 
impartiality to the same very likeable plant. All through late 
spring and into early summer it bears a wealth of big 
glistening blossoms in selfs and combinations of white, 
pink, scarlet, and salmon orange. The trick of success 
with Godetia is to sow the seeds very early in the spring, 
as early as you would Sweet Peas, so the little plants may 
take fullest advantage of the cool moist weather that they 
love. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c. 
GODETIA DOUBLE-FLOWERED DWARFS—In this strain 
the flowers are of full doubleness, placed closely on dwarf 
compact plants. Same rich color range as in the taller, 
single-flowered strain above. Pkt. 15c; 3 for 40c. 
ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
It is a perpetual astoundment that fruits so utterly diverse 
in color, form and size can still all be Gourds. The fancy 
Gourds are becoming increasingly popular for centerpieces, 
winter decorative effects, and the like. Not only do they 
vary from variety to variety, but even to some degree in 
the fruits produced on individual plants within the variety 
itself. Beyond the fruits, the Gourds make good quick- 
growing summer vines for trellises, or fences, and they 
have sometimes been used for temporary ground covers. 
We offer here a splendid mixture, Gourds large and small, 
self-colored, parti-colored, and in about every conceivable 
shape in which a Gourd has yet formed itself. Pkt. 10c; 
% oz. 20c; 1 oz. 30c.
