ARGEMONE or EVERBLOOMING POPPY 
Attractive Poppy-cousins that keep in constant bloom for 
months on end, flowers until late autumn if given the well- 
drained sunny position that they enjoy. Blossoms are

cream-toned, blush, smoky rose, crimson, primrose yellow 
or really golden hue. Sometimes the petals will be deeply 
fringed, but more usually just frilled a bit, and rarely 
double-flowering forms appear. Foliage, too, is decorative, 
usually blue-glaucous with white marblings. Plants grow 
to 80 inches, well branched. Sow seeds where flowers are 
to stand. A highly desirable mixture. Pkt. 15¢; 1% oz. 30c;

BELLS OF IRELAND 
That is one of the names that has been 
given to the odd Syrian beauty, MOLU- 
CELLA LAEVIS, and others know it as 
Irish Bell-flower, or as the Green Hya- 
cinth, or the Shell-flower, or the Green 
Delphinium, or again as Molucca Balm. 
A plant of many common names is one 
that many have loved, and by that token, likely to be one 
well worth the growing, and we think this one is. It is 
an annual, easy and quick in any sunny place, and lasting 
long in good effect. The several branching stems may 
reach to thirty inches, all closely set, much more closely 
than the illustration above shows, with big bell or shell 
(it must depend on the angle of vision) calyces of pale 
translucent green, reticulate with delicate veinings. With- 
in each ealyx lies a curiously formed little white flower. 
The long, slender, tightly filled spikes cut well and last 
well as fresh flowers, as effective then as in the garden, and 
a further excellent quality, not so long known, is that they 
dry well, and then make splendid straw-flowers for winter 
decorative effects. When dried full attractive form is kept, 
but green coloring fades to a creamy white. Molucella likes 
sun and heat. It resists drought. Pkt. 15c; yy oz. 25c. 
THE BUTTER-DAISY 
It’s a splendid cut flower, this VERBESINA ENCELI- 
OIDES, the Butter-Daisy, and you will like it in the 
garden, too. It grows to forty inches, full of bloom from 
June until into November, big daisy-blossoms, petals wide, 
over-lapping, jagged, centers small and fluffy, all of glis- 
tening butter-yellow. Illustrated page 17. Pkt. 10c; %& 
oz. 20c. 
| SUNS OF CHILE 
have shone since ancient days on CALANDRINIA GRANDI- 
FLORA, for the bright northern slopes of Chilean hills 
are the home of it, but it can be as much at home in your 
own garden if you but give it welcome. Each blossom is 
a 2-inch width of gorgeous rose purple, and the blossoms 
are many, and come in long succession for months on end. 
The flowers are carried high over branching rosettes of 
thick, succulent foliage, green with a slight silvered cast. 
Highly dought-resistant. edx(2-5)30. Pkt. 15c; yy oz. 30c. 
CALANDRINIA UMBELLATA AMARANTH — erdk(9)3.

blossoms in rich amaranth from June through October. This 
variety is of more upright, compact growth and deeper 
coloring than is the regular Umbellata. So quick to flower 
from ~: ring sowing that it is usually treated as an annual. 
Actua!:y it ig perennial, and protected with straw or leaves, 
ay pe wintered outside. From dry coast-lands of Peru, 
so endures drought and likes sun. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 
69c.
