THE YELLOW SHEETS 
down in winter, 10c. 
Occasionally find three varieties of 
Botrychiums; the Virginia Grape and 
the Ternate Grape Fern, and a third, 
still later which, so far, have not been 
able to identify. They are very rare 
here and I cannot promise positively 
to find one, 10c each. 
The above is true of the Resurrec- 
tion Fern (Polypodium polypody). No 
wonder it is very dwarf, with such a 
name, | 0c. 
Lady Ferns. These grow quite tall. 
Die down in winter. Said to be able to 
thrive in considerable drouth, but i 
find them near water, 1 0c. 
Braken, the dry land Fern. Needs a 
little shade, 10c. 
Wood Betony (Betonia). Good 
ground cover for deep shade. Fern-like 
leaves, deep red when the first come 
through. Yellow blooms, good stems 
for cutting. 
Red Tradescantia, so called from 
the winter color of the leaves. Mother 
plants | brought in from clay bank 
hillsides, ight shade, had deep maroon 
colored flowers; but only the Lord 
Himself knows what color they will be 
in your garden. Anything from bluish 
white through all the shades of blue 
and purple to deep maroon, will be 
entirely normal. One of the native 
Spiderworts. Very hardy. 
I hope to have three varieties of 
ornamental Pepper plants in season. 
Birds Eye, hotter than hot. Good 
substitute for Tobasco. 
Bouquet, small fruits, first green, 
then cream, then lavender and finally 
red. All colors on bush at same time. 
Too hot for me. 
Squash Pepper, looks like a little 
yellow Patty Pan Squash. Same garden 
effect as a Giant yellow Marigold. Still 
too hot for me. 
Am planting a variety of seeds and 
will be able to tell you more about 
them later. 
HARDY CACTI—10c EACH 
OPUNTIA VULGARE (Common 
Prickly Pear) hardy, flower creamy 
ycllow, fruit edible. Can be used as 
pot plant. Thrives in poor soil. 
OPUNTIA VASEYI, hardy on the 
Colorado desert. 
OPUNTIA ROBUSTA, stately lawn 
plant, hardy here to 15 helow. 
OPUNTIA RAMOSISSIMA, hardy 
and dwarf, good in full sun in rock 
gardens, also good as pot plant. 
An almost spineless Ojuntia found 
here in only one spot that I know of. 
May be Beaver Tail. 
Any of the above plants 5c each, 
unless otherwise noted. 
HOUSE PLANTS 
Common Green Leaf Wandering 
Jew, 5c. 
Large Green Leaf Wandering Jew,

Peanut Cactus (Chamecerous Syl- 
vestris), 10c.

Until income is bigger, the Yellow 
Sheets will be published bi-monthly; 
and until my cubs are home from the 
war, more attention will be paid to 
unusual plants, many from other lands, 
than to our wildings.
