BEAUTY BY DAY 
In free translation Hemerocallis might mean “beauty by 
day,” and rarely has name been more fitting. Seedlings 
of our HEMEROCALLIS PEERLESS HYBRIDS will give 
flowers, big ones, often fragrant, in harmony delights of 
lemon, buff, gold, orange and copper, often with tawny 
shadings, together with rose and red approaches, mahog- 
any, maroon, and bicolors that contrast light and dark 
in the same fiower. Hemerocallis grows readily from seed, 
usually flowers when one year old, and it is a fully win- 
ter-hardy, and long-lived perennial, thriving in either full 
sun or light shade. Few perennials will give so much 
Sion so little. Pkt. 25c; 1/16 oz. 35c; 16 oz. 60c; 44 oz. 
LILY OF ST. BERNARD 
ANTHERICUM LILIAGO, but the old folk-name for it is 
Lily of St. Bernard. Starry flowers of purest whiteness are 
carried in airy racemes. Pretty always, particularly so 
when massed. For lovely effects in blue and white, plant it 
with Campanula rapunculoides. Fully hardy and long- 
lived. Pkt. 15c; 14 oz. 40c. 
TRADESCANTIA BEAUTY 
Spendthrifts of bloom are the Tradescantias, spreading 
their prodigal flowering over many weeks, or sometimes 
over months. They are hardy perennials of easy handling 
from seed. Color range of the hybrid Tradescantia plants 
from which this seed was saved included rose, indigo, 
white, violet, mauve, sky blue, white with azure suffusion, 
eats toe ruby and apple-blossom pink. kt24. Pkt. 15c; 4%

SPHAERALCEA RIVULARIS

Maple foliage. Illustrated opposite. A 
spectacular perennial of long bloom and 
page hardiness. kt70. Pkt. 15c; 1/16

THE MOUND LILY 
It is Yucca gloriosa, the only fully 
winter-hardy Yueca lily that will de- 
velop in the North a short, tree-like 
trunk. In both spring and fall come 
handsome flowers of waxen creami- 
ness. Pkt. 15c. 
SHOWY FRENCH LILACS 
Great trusses of fragrant blossoms in white, pink, rose,

from our fine Old Orchard collection, should yield rare 
beauties. Pkt. 20c; 1/16 oz. 35c; 1% oz. 60c. : 
ROSE ACACIA 
It is Robinia fertilis, and still another name for it is 
Pink Locust. Consider it a handsome, fully hardy shrub. 
rather easy from seed, culture kt. It bears great, pend- 
ulous racemes of Wisteria-like flowers in rich rose. Pin- 
nate foliage. Pkt’ 15c; 14 oz. 25c. 
INDIGO-SHRUB 
The Indigo Shrub gains its name because the dye-stuff, 
indigo, used to be made from the leaves of one of the 
forms. Botanically it is INDIGOFERA, an easy, attrac- 
tive shrub that sometimes even gives a few blooms the’ 
year the seed is sown. We offer mixed forms, dense 
spikes of little flowers that range from near-pink to near- 
pie a sometimes rosy violet. Pinnate foliage. Pkt. 15c; 
or 40c.
