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 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $32.50 
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 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $32.50 
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 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $32.50

Purple Dome Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100° $32.50 
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.
