more tiers of red-budded buff flowers. May and June. 
P. BURMANICA—Blooms picturesquely with P. Bulleyana whose 
close neighbor it is in Yunnan and upper Burma. A splashy purple 
with yellow eye about the same height, was discovered in 1914.

Szechuan with densely silvered stalks of from 2 to 3 feet with tiers 
of brilliant cerise-crimson flowers in late April and May. 
P. PULVERULENTA BARTLEY STRAIN—The most exquisite of the 
Candelabras in shades of pink with either yellow or red eyes, heavi- 
ly silvered stalks and buds, developed in the Bartley Nurseries in 
England by the late G. H. Dalrymple from a pink sport of P. pul- 
verulenta. Mr. Dalrymple called the light-eyed “Bartley Blush” and 
“Bartley Pink,” and the dark-eyed ones “Hugh Dalrymple.”

blooming in May and June in a variety of pastel shades including

variety of pastel and brilliant shades. May and June bloom. Assorted

P. JAPONICA—One of the few Candelabras whose home is not the 
Himalayas. From Japan in 1861 it has been in constant culture since 
1871. Its shades of pink and red are legion and known everywhere. 
April-May, from 2-3 feet. 
P. JAPONICA POSTFORD WHITE—The only white Candelabra and 
a great beauty with large, pure white flowers and yellow eyes on 
tall stout stalks often tinged with purple. As a peacemaker among 
the reds, for dark corners, in the foreground of evergreens, for the 
all-white moonlight garden it is without equal.
