IMPROVED TRADESCANTIA 
A few years ago we received from the Department of Agriculture of 
Washington, D. C., a collection of beautiful dwarf growing Tradescantia. 
From the several varieties sent us we selected five best and most dis- 
tinct colors, and are happy to be able to offer them this year. 
They bloom from spring throughout the summer until early winter. All 
they ask for is a small space where they may be permitted to grow. 
Insects do not bother them. They are permanent, requiring no par- 
ticular care, and at all times their foliage is very decorative. All grow 
about 12 inches high. 
Iris Pritchard Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Pure white flowers faintly tinted with violet. The beauty of the flowers 
is much enhanced by the rich violet-blue, feathery centers. This contrast 
of colors is very lovely. 
James Stratton Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Rich pure deep blue flowers in abundance. Not as brilliant as Purple 
Dome, but a lovely shade of blue. Also slightly taller than the other 
kinds. Average height is about 16 inches. 
James C. Weguelin Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
New beautiful variety, free-flowering with porcelain-blue flowers from 
June until September. A worth-while plant which does well anywhere. 
Foliage decorative. 
Pauline Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Cattleya-mauve would describe the color of this delightful variety. Like 
all others its growth is neat and it is a prolific bloomer. 
Purple Dome Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Vividly brilliant purple flowers which sparkle with life in sunlight. Fine 
grower and it flowers freely. Considered the most spectacular one of 
the entire collection. 
One each of five varieties of Tradescantia offered for $3.00. 
TRILLIUM - American Wood-lily or Wake Robin 
Spring-flowering perenniais with three leaves borne in a whorl, and

Hardy perennials belonging to the buttercup order. The flowers are 
globe-shaped, yellow or orange in color, and particularly useful for
