1 CALANDRINIA UMBELLATA—“*erdk(9)3. You may treat 
this as a rock garden perennial if you wish, giving it a hot 
dry place, with, in winter, the favor of a straw or leaf 
overcoat, and then it will each year flame anew for months 
of glowing purple blossom-fire. If you prefer not to bother 
with the trifle of extra care needed for its perennial bonus, 
then it is easy to consider, and handle it as an annual, for 
it comes into bloom in just a few weeks after the seed is 
sown. From dry coastlands of Peru. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. 
2 CALCEOLARIA PEERLESS HYBRIDS—w. The big pocket 
or purse shaped blossoms are carried in a long, profuse 
freedom that makes Calceolaria notable among pot plants.

copper and crimson, often splashed and tigered contrastingly. 
Usually grown as a window or conservatory plant, but can 
be used for outdoor summer bedding. Pkt. 50c; 3 pkts. for $1.40. 
* CALCEOLARIA SCABIOSAEFOLIA—}bk(3)20. Pretty an-

LOOKING FOR HOUSE PLANTS? 
Check through the 
kinds that have numerals 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 before the 
variety names. Practically all those marked “2” and ‘‘4’’ 
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. :

1 CALIFORNIA ROSE—Not a rose at 
all, but rather rose-like in its flower, 
this pretty trailer will carpet a bank, 
edge a drive, or revel in any odd corner 
space. Lovely double flowers in the

See illustration opposite. Winter- 
hardy. Botanically Calystegia pubescens 
fl. pl. Supplied as sections of root, all

3 THE CALLA LILIES 
Wonderfully satisfactory as pot plants for winter bloom, 
or they will handle with ease for flowers in the summer 
garden. Don’t think, though, that you can both have your 
cake and eat it,—blossoms from the same bulbs both win- 
ter and summer. It won’t work,—at one season or the 
other the bulbs must rest. You can make your choice as 
to when, keeping the tubers dormant in a cool cellar during 
the “off” season. Illustrated page 16. Botanically “Calla” 
is ZANTEDESCHIA, 
BLACK-THROAT CALLA—Z., melanoleuca.

arrow-shaped leaves, white-spotted. For the summer garden, 
effective about pools, bird-baths, streams. 7 seeds for 20c;
