STATICE - Great Sea-Lavender 
The leathery, dark green leaves spring directly from the root stock 
and the flower stems are more or less twiggy, bearing their small flow- 
ers in much-branched panicles. The flowers are useful for cutting for 
indoor decoration, also for drying for winter use. 
Culture. A sandy loam is essential to grow these plants well. A sunny 
position, too, is indispensable. Plant in autumn or spring, 6 inches apart. 
TRADESCANTIA - Spiderwort 
A native American perennial, with narrow, purple-veined leaves, and 
flowers consisting of three sepal-like segments and three petal-like 
ones in dense umbels. 
Culture. All will thrive in ordinary soil in partially shady or sunny bor- 
ders. Also suitable for naturalizing in the wild garden. Good town gar- 
den plants. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 inches apart. 
They show to the best advantage grown towards the front of the border. 
*Latifolia Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
A valuable plant either for the border or rockery; immense heads, fre- 
quently 114 feet high and 2 feet across, of purplish blue, minute flow- 
ers during July and August. These, if cut and dried, last in perfect 
condition for months. 
STOKESIA - Cornflower Aster; Stokes’ Aster 
A very handsome perennial, with China-Aster-like flowers, that appear 
late in the season, about September. It prefers a warm, sheltered loca- 
tion. Should certainly be grown in all gardens since its flowers are most 
beautiful in form and color. 
Culture. Grow in a sunny, well-drained border in sandy loam, 6 inches 
apart. Plant in March or early autumn. 

NEW TRADESCANTIA 
Four years ago we received from the Department of Agriculture of 
Washington, D. C., a collection of beautiful dwarf growing Tradescantia. 
From the several varieties sent us we selected five best and most dis- 
tinct colors, and are happy to be able to offer them this year. 
They bloom from spring throughout the summer until early winter. All 
they ask for is a small space where they may be permitted to grow. 
Insects do not bother them. They are permanent, requiring no par- 
ticular care, and at all times their foliage is very decorative. All grow 
about 12 inches high.
