RAPID CELANDINE 
Great petal flakes, satin of imperial yellow, showers of 
them should surely have been strewn before the dragon- 
throne; it is so that DICRANOSTIGMA FRANCHET- 
TIANUM, Rapid Celadine, shares each day’s glory of blos- 
soming. Every breeze will fill your garden with this airy 
treasure. Above jagged leaves, white-marbled on green, 
comes a tangle of slender branching that fills, day aftr 
day, week after week, indeed month after month, with big 
four-petalled blossoms all of a golden silkiness. Be sure 
to sow much of this, but be sure, too, that the sowing is 
made early while the soil is still cool. ‘kt’? culture.

DIDISCUS COERULEUS—See Blue Lace Flower. 
DIPSACUS SYLVESTRIS AZUREUS—ecbnx(2-3)60. Great 
Blue Teasel. It can be strikingly garden decorative in its 
own large and somewhat devastating way, for there is 
rather of a stateliness about it, and the big, oddly formed 
flowerheads show as pure blue-azure. Later, the dried 
seed-heads may be used in winter bouquets, giving quaint 
Makart effects. It’s most easily grown, but at this point we 
shall have to confess that it is no annual at all, a biennial 
rather. Funny how that word ‘biennial’? seems to scare 
gardeners, yet all it means is that one sows the seeds for 
next summer’s flowers in August, or thereabout, instead of 
in the April or May that follows. It becomes then just a 
“spread the work” device. Pkt. 10c; %& oz. 20c. 
DRACOCEPHALUM MOLDAVICA WHITE—ex(3)18. A

DIMORPHOTHECA PEERLESS BLEND

are daisies surely enough, great long-petalled daisies in 
rare tones of apricot, salmon, ecru, copper, rosy suffusions, 
rich orange, varied yellows, pure white, or sometimes pale 
tintings with zoned bandings of midnight blue. Excellent 
foliage. ecrbx(3-4)12. Full sun. Pkt. 10c; y+ oz. 25ce.

ECHIUM or JEWEL-FLOWER 
ECHIUM NEW HYBRIDS—erbk(8)25. The blossoms open 
bright rose, but change to intense blue, or at times to blue- 
violet. Again they may be of enamel whiteness. They 
unroll in long succession from graceful crosier-sprays. An 
individual flower reminds one of a giant Cynoglossum bloom. 
gone campanulate. This Echium is of the easiest possible 
culture, and will give masses of flowers for some months.
