TORENIA FOURNIERI 
Words fail to express my appreciation of 
your magazine you were so kind to send 
me. Just the kind of magazine I have 
always wished for but could never find. 
About ten years ago I had a plant of 
Torenia and since that time have tried in 
vain to find out the name. Imagine how 
thrilled I was to find the description in 
your magazine. I enclose $3.20 for a pack- 
et and two years subscription. : 
Mrs. H. D. Newhart, Nevada City, Calif, 
AIR PLANE SEED 
During the course of a year we see many 
queerly formed seeds and of all sorts of 
colors but the seed of Termmalia calam- 
ansani, has real class, as well. 
The seed has wings, beautifully curved 
and formed and no air plane designer cculd 
improve on them. I have never seen them 
sailing thru the air but I believe they could 
make a good journey. 
This tree was introduced into Florida 
from the South Sea Islands by the Fairchild 
Tropical Gardens at Coconut Grove, Fla.

dish purple flowers.

west and Great Lakes regions. They do 
fairly well in most other sections.

Tall 
much like Delphiniums; 
stiff, upright stems.

30-36 inches high. 
ovatus, albertinus and whippleanus. 
These three species also do well in this 
region,

30-36 inches tall, 
toothed leaves, 
Group C 
Especially suited all thru the Mid-west

the East, at least around Washington. 
NOTE: All kinds listed in Groups A and 
B do well in the region covered in Group C, 
but some in Group C may not do well in the 
regions for which Groups A and B are 
recommended.
