3 _COOPERIA PEDUNCULATA—x (2-4)18. Rain Lily or Eve- 
ning Star. Easy, summer-flowering bulb for the garden. The

rain. Bulbs are to be handled like those of Gladiolus. Pkt. 25c.

3 COOPERANTHES 
Horticulturists of India have produced interesting hybrids 
between COOPERIA and ZEPHYRANTHES, two genera of 
beautiful summer-flowering bulbs that are often called Fairy 
Lilies by gardeners. Shadings and blendings in suffused whites, 
soft pinks and yellow-hinting creams may be expected. Bulbs 
are to be dug in autumn and stored in frostproof place over 
winter, or they may be grown in pots. “x” or “‘w” culture. 
Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c. 
5 CORAL FLOWER 
Effects of exquisite, jewel-like daintiness. 
Even the deep green, succulent foliage is 
decorative. Many slender 30-inch stems bear 
little five-pointed stars of luminous rosy pink, 
in loose, alternate clusters. Then come airy, 
long-hanging capsules, like polished coral 
beads, hundreds of them on each great, glow- 
ing plume of a stem. Culture ‘“‘x.”’ Illustrated 
opposite. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c. 
2 CORDYLINE or TI 
Easy ornamental pot plant with graceful, 
colorful foliage. Sometimes the leaves are all 
green, but more often they show markings or 
suffusions of white, cream, rose, crimson or 
wine, applied, perhaps, as splashings, radiating lines or con- 
trasting margins. These are forms of Cordyline terminalis 
(Dracaena), and our blend includes about all the desirable 
variations. Note, though, that the young seedlings look pretty 
much alike, the distinctions not appearing until later. Then 
you may expect new, and strange, beauties. Pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. 
for $1.00.

NAMES OF FRIENDS—We shall be grateful to those who 
will send names and full addresses of two or three garden- 
interested friends. As we grow, so does the list of rare 
species that we can offer. 
1 CORONILLA VARIA—k(2)20. Rather handsome, spreading 
perennial of full winter hardiness, that will keep any bank or 
slope from washing, covering it with a rich, billowing green- 
ness of pinnate foliage. In June and July come crown-shaped 
clusters of pretty blossoms in Cosmos pink. The flowers cut 
and keep well. Growth is swift and dense, smothering coarse 
weeds, and the quick root network prevents soil erosion from 
rains. Not evergreen. An enduring, long-lived perennial. Too 
invasive for the rock garden or hardy border, but this same 
characteristic makes it an ideal ground cover for any large, 
rough area or slope. Heavy sales have reduced our stock, so 
we are not able to offer in as large quantities as before, but 
even a packet of seed, or the increase from a few plants will 
give enough in one year for a sizable area. Seeds, pkt. 25c. 
Plants, each 55c; 3 for $1.40; 10 for $4.00. 
2 COTYLEDON ORBICULATA—w. It makes an attractive 
pot plant, with its glaucous, succulent, red-margined leaves 
and decorative, red-toned flowers. Pkt. 35c. 
4 CREPE MYRTLE—k. Lagerstroemia indica. Exceedingly 
handsome blossoms, ranging from pink to near crimson. 
Wood-hardy to about Washington. Farther north it behaves as 
an herbaceous perennial, flowering freely on the current 
season’s stems. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. 
38 CROCUS ZONATUS—ry (3-4)6. In autumn it surprises with 
a lavish showing of lavender cup-flowers, zoned orange deeply 
within. Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 30c; 14 oz. 50c. 
2 CRUCIANELLA STYLOSA—erk(2-3)5. Many clusters of 
little, starry flowers in crimson-toned pink, over fine-foliaged 
mats. Pretty rock garden or ground cover perennial from 
Persia. Pkt. 20c. Plants, each 55c; 3 for $1.40. 
CRYPTOMERIA JAPONICA—k 125 feet. Handsome pyram- 
idal Conifer, the Temple Evergreen of Japan. Bright green 
foliage. Young seedlings are sometimes grown as pot plants, 
giving effect of Araucaria. Pkt. 20c; 44 oz. 45c.
