THE BLACKBERRY LILIES 
Belamcanda (Pardanthus) is so bulb-like in its ways that 
it is usually thought of as a bulb. The roots, and the flat 
foliage fans are Iris-like. Sun or shade. 
CHINENSIS—“*ecbdk (3-4) 48. Showy 
blossoms, then glossy ‘“‘blackberry’’ seed-clusters that may 
be dried for winter bouquets. An ornamental for the mixed 
border, or to colonize in light woodland. Interesting ef- 
fects when planted with Iris dichotoma. Illustrated page 
61. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 35c; 1 oz. $1.25. (Roots, fall or spring, 
each 20c; 8 for 55c; 10 for $1.60; 25 for $3.65).

yellow. Illustrated page 38. Roots only, fall or spring, one 
to a customer, each $1.50. 
AVALON HYBRIDS—It is Flabellata crossed on Chinensis, 
and wide breakings and new combinations of form and 
orange-and-crimson 
color characters may be expected. <A mighty interesting 
hybrid group. Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 25c. 
NEW DWARF—“*erk(3-4)15. Dwarf, compact, close flower 
clusters just over the leaf-fans. Blossoms palest buff- 
apricot, shot with madder-red splashes. Scant seeder. 6 
seeds for 15c. 
AN EASIER ORCHID 
It is Bletilla hyacinthina, likely easiest of Orchids to 
grow from seed, and the quickest to flower, three-year-old 
plants often blooming freely. Please note, though, that 
no Orchid is really easy from seed. They need patience 
and skillful attention. Nevertheless many will succeed. 
Bletilla is an attractive Orchid, carrying several large 
flowers of amethystine purple on 15-inch stems. It may 
be grown under glass, but it is fairly winter-hardy in the 
North, and will flourish in any half-shady, not-too-dry posi- 
tion, making large clumps in time. Mixed purple and 
white. Pkt. 25c; (3 for 60c). (Bulbs, purple. October de- 
livery, each 75c; 3 for $2.00). 
BRODIAEAS FOR DELIGHT 
We like their slender swaying grace, the soft colorings 
of their trumpet flowers that sometimes are in loose and 
airy umbels, but that may again be gathered into tight 
capitate clusters. There will be pure and suffused white, 
lavender, lilac, mauve, indigo purple, with others in rosy 
pink or salmon-toned yellow. Of about same winter hardi- 
ness as the Tulip. 12 to 20 inches. Pkt. 15c; 7 oz. 35c.
