THE GAY CYCLAMEN

1 CYCLAMEN HARDY BLEND—Winter-hardy kinds for 
the garden. Flowers smaller than those of the tender

often marbled. A charming rock garden plant, or use it 
in leaf-nestling colonies about the roots of some great tree.

MACROCENTRON — cbkt(3)70. The rare Blue - Emerald 
Delphinium of East African Mountains of the Moon. One 
who has seen great banks of them growing on slopes of 
Mt. Kenya, compares them to ethereal blue of a sunset 
sky, shot through with flashes of vivid green. As we have 
flowered them here at Old Orchard, the blue has been close 
to cobalt, the green really of emerald. The blossoms are

LOOKING FOR HOUSE PLANTS? Check through all 
the kinds that have numerals 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 before 
the variety names. Practically all those marked “1” 
and ‘2’ are suitable for pot culture in window or 
greenhouse, as are the majority of those marked ‘6’ 
and ‘“‘8’’, these latter two needing, though, larger pots, 
or even tubs. A few of the kinds marked ‘10’ also 
make good pot plants when young. 
5 DENDROMECON RIGIDUM—yt(3)84. Tree Poppy. Ever- 
green shrub that bears attractive golden Poppy-blossoms. 
Careful protection, North. Pkt. 20c. 
2 DIANELLA CAPENSIS—It hasn’t bloomed yet, and the 
name seems botanically untenable (though it came to us 
so labeled). However all Dianellas are good pot plants. 
Mostly they have bamboo-like foliage, little starry white or 
pale blue flowers, followed by big sprays of showy berries, 
amethyst to sapphire. Plants, ready to bloom, each 35c. 
1 DICTAMNUS ALBUS—by(2-3)32. Gas Plant. Terminal 
racemes of large graceful blossoms, pure white or rosy 
purple. At dusk the plants yield an ignitable vapor. Hand- 
some, long-lived perennial. Pkt. 15¢c; 74 oz. 25c. 
3 DIERAMA BLEND—rbkt(3)50. An unusual garden bulb 
that has proved winter-hardy at Old Orchard. Some winter 
mulching is recommended further north, though, and the 
covering should be rather heavy with young bulbs until 
thoroughly established. Bells of blush, rose red or ama- 
ranth hang pendant from high, willowy stems. IJllustrated
