3 FREESIAS 
FROM SEED 
If everyone understood 
how easy Freesias are from 
seed, how varied the color- 
ings and how beautiful the 
flowers, then everyone 
would already be sowing 
them. They are quick from 
seed, blooming freely with- 
in six months. The sprays 
of perfumed flower trum- 
pets come in rainbow hues, 
primrose to gold, with 
orange, lavender, mauve, 
blue, white, soft pink, car- 
mine, rare sunset tones. A 
fine blend. ‘‘w” culture.

1 LAVENDER GLOBE-LILY 
TANGUTICUM 
3 THE GLORY LILY 
In GLORIOSA PLANTI we offer a Glory Lily of size and 
habit that make it particularly desirable for growing as a 
window or greenhouse pot plant, or for use in summer bhed- 
ding outdoors. The plants are of more dwarf, branching, but 
compact growth than are those of the other Gloriosas, and the 
foliage is of an unusual attractiveness in its graceful form 
and rich, green glossiness. The blossoms, carried well out 
beyond the foliage, are recurved and undulate in form, 
orange-yellow at petal base, deepening to orange scarlet at 
tip. Blooms in less than six months from seed. If grown in 
garden, the tubers should be dug and stored in frost-proof 
place in autumn. ‘“‘w” or “k’”. Pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. for $1.00; 
1/16 oz. $1.25. 
TWO CHARMING LINARIAS 
The Linarias are charming flowers of easiest culture. We 
value particularly the two described here. ab aed 
THREE-BIRDS LINARIA — Linaria tri- 
ornithophora, from hills of Portugal. The 
large, long-spurred flowers remind of perch- 
ing birds, and they are usually carried in 
whorls of three. The coloring is a rich, 
deep purple, although salmon pink or lilac 
forms do appear at times. The many-stem- 
med, airy plants are blossom-filled from 
June into November. Usually handled as a 
garden annual, but it is good, too, as an 
ever-blooming indoor pot plant, living then 
for several years. x(8)20. Illustrated op- 
posite. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c. 
PINK HARDY LINARIA—x(8)25. A hardy 
perennial Linaria from England, the variety 
CANON WENT. Tangles of airy branchings 
are filled all summer with a profusion of 
tiny blossoms in purest pink. Use it in the 
perennial border. It will live for years. Pkt. 25c.

5 THE MONARCH DAISY 
Charming annual flower, in bloom 
from late June until hard autumn 
freezes. The handsome, daisy-like 
flowers are rather large, to sometimes 
four-inch diameters, and are carried 
on 20 to 24 inch stems. There are two 
thick rows of petals about a dark 
center. The flowers may be white, pale 
primrose, lemon, golden or orange, 
the petals always with brown or violet 
band at base. The attractive, deeply 
lobed foliage seems covered with 
gleaming, silver gossamer. A showy 
garden plant, and wonderful, too, 
as cut flowers, long-lasting and beau- 
tiful. Selections of VENIDIUM 
FASTUOSUM. Sow early. Illustrated 
opposite. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c. 
5 GAURA LINDHEIMERI 
Delightful flowers that might be great white butter-flies, 
but with a hint of rosiness, perch airily all up and down the 
many, slender, yard-high stems. In bloom for months on end. 
Quick from seed, and usually grown as an annual, but will 
often live over winter. x(8)36. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c. 
Z PERFUMED BORONIA 
Desirable Australian plants for pot cul- 
ture, alluring in fragrance, attractive in 
flower. Slow, but rather sure, germinaters.

world’s sweetest flower’ from its delightful 
pervasive perfume. Bell blossoms, brown- 
maroon outside, yellow within, make pleas- 
ant showing for some three months. 
Illustrated opposite. Pkt. 30c; 3 pkts. for

BORONIA SERRULATA — Another desir- 
able species. Here the pretty little bells are

THE GAY DWARF POMEGRANATE 
It makes a handsome, large pot plant, filled with orange 
scarlet flowers over a long season. Though usually grown 
under glass in the North, it is of greater hardiness than most 
people think, and may be wintered outside in sheltered posi- 
tions to Philadelphia or Long Island. “w’’. Punica granatum 
nanum. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c. 
THE CARNATION POME- 
GRANATE—It is the variety 
CHICO, a dwarf, compact 
grower with double flowers that 
are like bright red Carnations. 
A beauty, and just right for 
pot culture. Plants, each $1.00. 
CHERRY 
SUNBRIGHT 
A hardy perennial, tuberous- 
rooted succulent that will bloom 
first year from seed. It is 
Talinum ecalycinum, delight for 
full sun and dry, difficult posi- 
tions. The blossoms, of lumin- 
ous cherry rose, are carried in airy sprays on stems so fine 
as to be near-invisible. Attractive, pencil-shaped foliage, rich 
green, succulent, brittle. Illustrated opposite. Pkt. 25c.
