345 So. Main Street, Los Angeles, California 21 LUPINUS PAYNEI Payne's Tree Lupine" a A native California species discovered by the writer in the foothills near Santa Susana and named in his honor by Dr. Anstruther Davidson, the well known botanist of Los Angeles. For his description of this plant see Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, July, 1918. I believe this is the most wonderful Tree Lupine in the world. It forms large round topped shrubs 4 to 8 feet high from a trunk-like base 3 to 4 and sometimes 8 inches in diameter. One large specimen measured 8 inches through the trunk, %Yz feet high and 13% feet through the crown and when in blossom had over 500 flower spikes in bloom at one time. . The foliage is very handsome and silvery green, and the flowers are produced in racemes 8 to 15 inches long. They remind one of wistaria blossoms and appear in many beautiful shades; hardly two plants are just alike; some are pale blue, others lavender, pale lilac, dark blue, purple, rose pink, flesh pink or white; all with a beautiful yellow blotch on the standard. The blossoms are deliciously fragrant, a few flowers being sufficient to perfume a whole house. The plants bloom in the spring and the whole bush blossoms simultaneously. They grow in a heavy reddish clay soil. Soak the seeds in hot water over night and plant about one inch deep in the open ground where the plants are to remain. Pkt., 25c. MECONOPSIS HETEROPHYLLA "Flaming Poppy" This charming little plant is a native wild flower of California, but is worthy of a place in every garden. It is an annual, a slender fragile plant 1 to 2 feet high, succeeding well in partial shade. The flowers are an intense orange scarlet with a deep maroon ring at the base, of exquisite beauty, the petals having the delicate satin texture of the poppy. Sow in fall or very early spring in the open ground. Pkt., 15c. NEMESIA STRUMOSA SUTTONII New Hybrids A beautiful annual of recent introduction which succeeds quite well in California and is especially valuable for winter blooming. The plants grow about 1 foot high and produce large quantities of orchid-like blossoms in various shades of pink, rose, yellow, buff, orange and blue, beautifully-marked and shaded. Pkt, 26c. Nemesia Dwarf, Blue Gem One of the most valuable introductions of recent years. A very dwarf, compact variety, with bright blue flowers produced in great profusion. Very desirable for beds, for edgings or as a ground cover for bulb beds, a good winter bloomer. Pkt, 50c. Payne's Royal Exhibition Pansy This is undoubtedly the most superb strain of Pansies ever offered on this coast. The plants are of vigorous growth, and are particularly free flowering. The blossoms are very large, and of fine, velvety texture,, including all the richest shades, many of them exquisitely blotched, spotted and margined. Pkt., 25c; % oz., $1.00. Petunia, Payne's Giants of California Ruffled and Fringed The Petunia is one of the most popular plants in California gardens. This superb giant strain I am offering produces immense flowers of great substance, often 4 or 5 inches in diameter, deep-throated and with the edge of the petals beautifully ruffled and fringed. They include all the richest colors and combinations of colors, many of them beautifully veined, mottled or striped. Pkt., 25c. Phacelia campanularia A beautiful native annual, growing about 1 foot high and producing great quantities of large, bright blue flowers. Valuable for beds and borders, a good winter bloomer. Pkt., 15c. New Poppy, Ryburgh Hybrids This splendid new strain of annual poppy produces plants of bushy habit, carrying quantities of long- stemmed flowers in charming shades of flesh, salmon, orange, pink, rose and carmine. The flowers are double and semi-double and last well when cut. Pkt., 25c. Lupinus Paynel New Poppy, Eldorado A lovely strain of annual poppies of the Shirley type, producing in great, abundance, large double flowers measuring about 3 inches across. They come in the most delicate and brilliant colors, ranging from palest pink through shades of rose and salmon to rosy scarlet. Some are white with salmon-pink or crimson margins, others orange-salmon shaded white, others again are fiery rose- scarlet shaded white, cherry red and white or scarlet with white center. They attain a height of about 2 feet and are of great decorative value for cutting. Pkt., 25c. The Flanders Poppy The Wild Bed Poppy so familiar to those who served in the recent European conflict, and to those who hold other memories of that continent. All through Western Europe this poppy grows wild in the fields and along the roadsides. Scattered through ripening wheat its flaming red blossoms show in striking and beautiful contrast to the clear, golden yellow of the maturing grain, making a picture of country-side loveliness that is never to be forgotten. It is from this wild poppy that the Rev. W. Wilks of Shirley Vicarage, England, produced the well-known Shirley poppy and from which many other garden varieties have originated. Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c.
