CURRIE’S 
Acroclinium 
CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA OR SUNSHINE 
Chrysantha is a new Calendula which is outstand- 
ing among all varieties known up to the present time. 
Many improvements have been made on Calendulas, 
but no other origination can begin to compare with 
this lovely new-comer from far-off Australia. The 
large flowers are an exquisite shade of clear butter- 
cup yellow, with long loosely arranged petals, which 
droop to give the rounded appearance found in our 
favorite Chrysanthemums. Besides adding a bright 
golden splash of color to the garden, Chrysantha is 
a fine cutting variety, with long stiff stems, well 
adapted to combine with other flowers, such as blue 
delphinium, in bowls or vases. Pkt., 15c. 
TWO NEW EARLY FLOWERING COSMOS 
SENSATION—AIl other Cosmos are outclassed by 
these new giants, available for the first time this 
year; they surpass all existing strains of Cosmos in 
size of flowers; they bloom in about eight weeks from 
sowing and attain a size of from 4 to 6 inches across; 
long, strong stems add to their merit as cut flowers 
and keep a long time when cut; sold in mixture of pink 
and white, per pkt., 25 seeds, 25c. 
COSMOS KLONDIKE ORANGE FLARE 
Now at last we can grow the lovely orange colored 
Cosmos and be assured of having flowers before 
frost, this is an early strain and will bloom in less 
than five months from seeding. The color is a vivid 
orange, with attractive light green foliage. Pkt., 15c. 
Seed must not be sown outside, until the ground is warm, 
if sown inside have bottom heat. 
ANTIRRHINUM 
Rust Proof Maximum Crimson 
The color is pure crimson overlaying a ground of 
orange and gives the effect of a fiery crimson, the 
foliage and the stem is a dark plum color. The com- 
bination of the fiery crimson flowers, dark green 
foliage and the dark plum colored stems makes a 
blend of color shades most particularly attractive 
and more so on account of the clean, healthy foliage, 
free from rust, Pkt., 25c. 
Novelties and 
ACROCLINIUM NEW LARGE 
FLOWERING DOUBLE HYBRIDS 
This new Acroclinium, so greatly improved over the 
old variety that they can scarcely be recognized as 
members of the same family. The double fiowers are 
extremely large, at least twice the size of the ordinary 
strain, on 12 to 18 inch stems, the range of color is 
most remarkable being especially rich in shades of 
salmon, apricot, pink, rose and cerise with white and 
creer tones to balance up the pastel mixture. Pkt., 
15ce. - 
NEW CALENDULA ORANGE SHAGGY 
Orange Shaggy is a very distinct new break in 
Calendulas. The petals are long and deeply fringed 
or laciniated. Row after row of these long fringed 
petals overlap each other in a rather irregular fash- 
ion and build up a bloom with the shaggy appearance 
of some of the Chrysanthemums. These blooms are 
of great grace and beauty. The color is a deep orange 
shading to slightly lighter orange in the center of the 
bloom, giving the flower a delightful two tone effect. 
Well grown, Orange Shaggy has long stems and 
forms plants about eighteen inches high. Pkt., 15c.

iature hyacinth flowered Candytuft about three and 
a half inches high, each plant producing four to six 
spikes. A perfect Miniature Gem for the rock gar- 
den. Pkt., 15c. 
DAHLIA 
Dobbie’s New Orchid Flowered, a new type of 
Dahlia, flowers are of a distinctive character and 
coloring and provide a wonderful range of color. The 
form of the flower is graceful, the stems are good and 
the plants are very free flowering. Pkt., 25c.
