Campanula-cousin from Turkestan with flowers like 6-inch 
salver bells in azure-suffused ivory. Fully hardy if given 
good drainage and full sun. It is the nature of the seeds to 
be slow in germinating. 10 seeds for 25c; 45 for $1.00. 
* THE SOUTHERN STAR 
Blossoms that are inch-wide stars in 
many-flowered sprays. The coloring, a most 
unusual blue of silver-veiled, pastel quality 
seems to have been painted on each petal. 
« The plants grow to some fifteen inches, the 
stems arching so that the constellations of 
blue blossoms face upward. It is OXYPET- 
ALUM CAERULEUM (or Tweedia) illus- 
trated opposite. Seeds sown in open ground 
in April produce plants that are in bloom 
before end of June, constant blossoming 
from then until toward end of October. 
Pkt. 20c.

3 SPECTACULAR SUMMER BULB 
Here is something new and distinctive in summer garden 
bulbs, ORNITHOGALUM SAUNDERSIAE, a six-foot beauty, 
illustrated on front cover, that is as easy to grow as Gladiolus, 
indeed is to be handled in much the same way in both garden 
and storage. Big upright rosettes of wide, deeply channeled, 
glossily green leaves. From these rise sturdy stems that may 
reach seven feet in old bulbs, less in younger ones. The stems 
end in great flower clusters that lengthen and open successive 
buds over a period of several months. The blossoms are 
larger than those of other Ornithogalums, wax-like petals 
of creamy white about a center boss of a dark olive tone, 
near black. Long lasting when cut; strikingly decorative 
in the garden. Seeds, pkt. 25c; 1/16 oz. 50c. Bulbs, spring, 
each 50c; 3 for $1.40.
