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., 25c. 



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. 



NEW CANDYTUFT MINIATURE GEM 



(HYACINTH FLOWERED TYPE). The result of 

 years of selection has produced a dainty, small min- 

 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. 



ESCHSCHLOTZIA RAMONA — 



(Frilled California Poppies) 



Ramona type California Poppies are beautifully 

 frilled and fluted, in the russet and pinkish shades, on 

 neat growing plants which form a compact mass of 

 flowers. They are very effective when used as a bor- 

 der or as a ground cover in the rose garden. Pkt., 10c. 



DIANTHUS, SWEET WIVELSFIELD

 perennial gaillardias. It is coppiiy scarlet self color, 

 similar to Indian Chief in the annual varieties. If

 first season from seed, after which the plants will

 salmon pink softened by an undefined edging of 

 white. The plants are robust, about 20 inches high, 

 strong stemmed, and so free flowing that the foliage 

 is almost hidden from view. The flowers are ideal for 

 cutting, with long stems and exceptional keeping 

 qualities. Pkt., 20c.
