Cnrrie's Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds 



CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA OR SUNSHINE 



Chrysantha is a new Calendula which is oustanding among 

 all varieties known up to the present time. Many improve- 

 ments have been made on Calendulas, but no other origina- 

 tion can begin to compare with this lovely new-comer from 

 far-off Australia. The large flowers are an exquisite shade 

 of clear buttercup 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., 20c. 



NEW ANNUAL CANTERBURY BELLS 



Many years of careful selection have at last given us an 

 Annual Canterbury Bell which blooms from seed in less than 

 six months. It should now be possible to have this beautiful 

 flower in bloom at almost any time of the year. The plant 

 grows from two to two and a half feet tall, each plant 

 having from six to eight spikes of blooms. We offer this 

 in mixture, containing the following colors: dark blue, light 

 blue, pink, rose and white. Pkt., 25c. 



NEW CANDYTUFT MINIATURE GEM 



(HYACINTH FLOWERED TYPE). The result of years of 

 selection has produced a dainty, small miniature hyacinth 

 flowered Candytuft about three and a half inches high, each 

 plant producing four to six spikes. A perfect Miniature 

 Gem for the rock garden. 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 border or as a ground cover 

 in the rose garden. Pkt., 10c. 



Gaillardia Burgundy 



SAINTPAULIA — African Violet 



IONANTHA — A splendid pot-plant of easy culture, pro- 

 ducing a great profusion of deep blue flowers set against 

 dark green, Gloxinia-like foliage. Blooms continuously and 

 resembles a giant violet in many ways. Pkt. 50c. 



DIANTHUS, SWEET WIVELSFIELD 



This new annual is a hybrid, being a cross between Dianthus Alwoodi and 

 Sweet William; seed started indoors in January and planted out in April 

 will commence to flower in May, blossoming profusely all summer in a great 

 variation of colors. Pkt., 15c; 50c per large pkt. 



DIANTHUS "HIGHLAND QUEEN" 



The most brilliant perennial Dianthus in cultivation, bearing in profusion 

 flowers of a lustrous scarlet vermilion color, which captivates the beholder at 

 first sight. It is extremely hardy, of vigorous growth, and ideal for bedding, 

 borders and the rock garden, continuing in bloom, as it does, from the end 

 of May until November. Pkt., 25c. 



GAILLARDIA BURGUNDY 



Burgundy is the darkest and most brilliant of all perennial gaillardias. It 

 is coppery scarlet self color, similar to Indian Chief in the annual varieties. 

 If started early indoors, flowers may be produced the first season from seed, 

 after which the plants will bloom profusely throughout the summer months.

NEW LUPINUS HARTWEGII GIANTS MIXED 



A new improved strain of Annual Lupinus. Hartwegii Giants are from 

 three to four feet tall or one to one and a half feet taller than the Lupinus 

 Hartwegii type. Hartwegii Giants have the base branching habit, with four 

 to six long spikes to a plant. Each spike has from twenty-five to fifty more 

 blooms than the Hartwegii type. The blooms are also a little larger. The 

 leaves are about one and a half times as large, making a very handsome 

 plant. Colors include dark blue, sky blue, rose and white. We feel confident 

 that this new strain will increase the popularity of this fine Annual Lupine, 

 so easily and quickly grown from seed. Pkt., 15c.
