LIST OF LATE INTRODUCTIONS AND NOVELTIES FOR 1912. 



GERBERA JAMESOM HYBRIDA. 

 New Hybrids Mixed — Richness of color and diversity of form chiefly distinguish 

 these new Gerbera Hybrids. Nearly all shades of color from white to yellow 

 and orange, as well as from rose to blood-red have already been found and 

 each sowing brings forth new surprises. The size of the flowers and of the 

 individual petals has been increased over that of the original Cape Daisy and 

 the flower stalks have become longer and stronger without loss of beauty 

 and charm. Unfavorable weather conditions also affect the new varieties 

 less. An> invaluable acquisition indeed, especially desirable for cutting. 

 Packet 15c. 



GYPSOPHILA PANICULATA. 



Double White — A great improvement over the old hardy Gysophila or Baby's 

 Breath, a largo proportion of the flowers being very double and the plant 

 exceedingly vigorous, this novelty will prove of unusual value. The touch 

 of lightness and airiness which a spray or two of Baby's Breath gives to the 

 summer bouquet is still preserved, with additional vigor of growth and pro- 

 fusion of bloom, in the slender, feathery habit of the new variety. The flow- 

 ers are pure white and are borne continuously for several weeks. The seed 

 should be sown quite early, or not until mid-summer for the following sea- 

 son's bloom. Packet 25c. 



GLADIOLUS. 



Wild Rose (Childs)— This beautiful new Gladiolus has the "Wild Rose" tinge. 

 It will grow in favor and prestige as it becomes known as it ranks with 

 the very best. Color, very bright rose or blush tint, exceedingly delicate and 

 pretty, and needs only to be seen to be appreciated. In its particular color 

 it stands alone. Bulbs each, 20c; per doz., $2.00. 



IMPATIENS HOLSTII. 



Dwarf Hybrids — Wanderers from East Africa resembling their relative the 

 popular Impatiens Sultani, but considerably excelling that variety in vigor 

 of growth and luxuriance of bloom. They form dwarf, compact plants 9 to 

 11 inches in width' by about 8 in height, freely branched. The growth of the 

 plant outdoors ig rapid and vigorous, and the flowers, which vary in color 

 from flesh-pink, through shades of blush-pink, rose and orange to scarlet 

 and vermilion and are unusually large, measuring about 1% inches across, 

 are produced in continuous profusion all summer, from June to frost. They 

 make very effective and satisfactory bedding plants because of their wealth 

 and long continuance of bloom and do "well also in pots. Sow the seed in- 

 doors in March and transplant to open ground in May. Packet 15c. 



GERBERA NEW HYBRIDS. 



NIGELLA. 

 Miss Jekyll — A beautiful variety of the well-known, attractive 

 annual, "Love-in-a-Mist." The color is a lovely cornflower- 

 blue and it is a splendid flower for bouquets. Packet 10c. 



NASTURTIUM. 

 New Scarlet Geranium Leaved — A really beautiful type, the 

 wavy, strikingly colored, heavy leaves attractive in them- 

 selves as a handsome Pansy. Against this magnificent 

 foliage the scarlet flowers, borne in profusion on long, stiff 

 stems, stand out very effectively. Packet, 10c; oz., 25c. 



SCHIZANTHUS WISETONENSIS. 

 Improved Dwarf — The Schizanthus is one of our fairest, daintiest 

 flowers, fittingly called the "Poorman's Orchid." The new type 

 possesses the remarkable free-flowering propensities of Wise- 

 tonensis, and is also compact and dwarf like the latter, but it 

 produces flowers of much larger size and of a much wider 

 range and greater beauty of color. The plants stand about 

 one foot in height and are completely enveloped when in bloom 

 by their lovely, fantastic flowers. Unexcelled as a pot plant, 

 for which purpose it should have the same treatment as the 

 Cineraria. Packet 15c. 



STATICE SINUATA ROSEA. 

 Sea Lavender — A splendid, half hardy, very free flowering an- 

 nual, the rose color of this novelty being a welcome addition 

 to the previously known colors. The flowers are borne in 

 great quantities from early July until the plants are cut down 

 by hard frost. The plants grow 27 to 30 inches in height and 

 being almost smothered in bloom are very effective either for 

 massing or as single plants in the lawn or garden. Their long 

 flower-stalks make them highly desirable for cutting purposes. 

 The seed should be sown inside in March. Packet 10c. 



SHASTA DAISY. 

 Burbank's Strain, Single and Semi-Double Fringed Mixed— A 



wonderful new strain of the exceedingly popular Shasta Daisy 

 which was introduced by Luther Burbank about 10 years ago. 

 The petals are laciniated, fluted and frilled, especially in the 

 single flowers. The plants are vigorous growers and their 

 white, cream or light-yellow flowers are producedjn the same 

 remarkable profusion which characterizes the parent variety. 

 Packet 15c. 



VERBENA HYBRIDA GIGANTEA. 

 New Giant Flowering- Verbena — This is a distinctly new class of 

 Giant Flowering Verbenas excelling all other varieties hitherto 

 known in the size and noble shape of the flower and the rich 

 display of colors and shades which come true from seed, not 

 varying as many valuable strains do. This novelty contains 

 a large percentage of red shades such as Tyrian Rose, Purple 

 Garnet, Turkey Red. Geranium Red, bright Rosy Scarlet and 

 others. It is remarkable in this respect as most Verbena mix- 

 tures preponderate in blue shades. Packet 15c. verbena hybrida gigantea, 

 One packet each of the above 9 Seed Novelties and one Wild Rose Gladiolus bulb for $1,25,
