THE YEAR-ROUND CATALOG 
Here is a catalog for every week in the year, not just for 
the spring, for there is no time when it is not the right time 
to sow some kinds of seeds. Key letters tell when. Then there 
are bulbs for both spring and fall planting, and hardy peren- 
nial plants can be put out at either season, some of them, 
as Irises and Hardy Pop- 
pies, even during summer 
heat. Of course greenhouse 
plants for the window gar- 
den, and their seeds, are 
always available year- 
through, and so are the 
i many good books on garden- 
ing that we offer. 
PENSTEMON 
GARNET 
Graceful sprays of big 
flowers in a rich and glow- 
| ing red, these appearing in 
' profusion for months, June 
into November. Greatly 
showy, no perennial will give richer, more continuous color. 
Illustrated above. Will need winter protection in the colder 
areas. Plants, each 55c; 3 for $1.40; 10 for $4.20. 
3 ZEPHYRANTHES PULCHELLA 
This rare Zephyr Lily with its richly golden-hued flowers is 
as pretty as its name implies. Though it does well in the sum- 
mer garden, it is, perhaps, best handled as a pot bulb for 
window, greenhouse or sun porch. Pot up in fairly rich, heavy 
soil, at least three bulbs to a pot, and keep well watered. 
Bulbs, 3 for 70c; 10 for $2.00. 
3 THE RARE HYACINTH LILY 
NOTHOLIRION HYACINTHINUM—kt.(2)35. Tall spikes of 
flowers that vary from rosy lilac to lavender-toned violet, a bit 
in effect of Hyacinthus candicans, save as to color. Formerly 
considered by botanists to be a true Lilium, but it differs 
from that genus in having a monocarpic, tunicated bulb, and 
“ making quantities of bulbil offsets. Pkt.

gined leaves are edged with creamy
