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 particular 
care, and at all times their foliage is very decorative. All grow about 
12 inches high.

Giant Flowering Stokesia, Blue Moon 
STOKESIA - Cornflower Aster; Stokes’ Aster 
A very handsome perennial, with China-Aster-like flowers, that appear 
late in the season, about September. It prefers a warm, sheltered loca- 
tion. Should certainly be grown in all gardens since its flowers are most 
beautiful in form and color. 
Culture. Grow in a sunny, well-drained border in sandy loam, 6 inches 
apart. Plant in March or early autumn. 
Blue Moon Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $5.75, 100 $30.00 
The immense light blue disc-like flowers are 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 
growing on stiff 12- to 18-inch stems. In the foreground of the bor- 
der they make a picture not easily duplicated. Stokesia, Blue Moon, 
is @ vigorous-growing and free-flowering variety of exceptional merit 
and distinction. It is perfectly hardy and has no insects bothering it. 
It is of easy culture and flowers throughout the summer and autumn 
until stopped by hard frosts. A most worth-while addition to the 
hardy plant garden. 
TRADESCANTIA - Spiderwort 
A native American perennial, with narrow, purple-veined leaves, and 
flowers consisting of three sepal-like segments and three petal-like ones 
in dense umbels. 
Culture. All will thrive in ordinary soil in partially shady or sunny bor- 
ders. Also suitable for naturalizing in the wild garden. Good town gar- 
den plants. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 inches apart.

Pure white flowers faintly tinted with violet. The beauty 
of the flowers is much enhanced by the rich violet- 
Dlue, feathery centers. This contrast of colors is very 
lovely.
