Currie’s Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds 
NEW DOUBLE SWEET SCENTED NASTURTIUM 
Golden Gleam 
Double Nasturtiums are not new, but up to this time have been propagated only by cuttings, and it has been gen- 
erally believed they would not reproduce themselves from seed. ‘Therefore it gives us great pleasure to offer for 
the first time this unique novelty in Nasturtiums, which has been named Golden Gleam. The plant form's a vigor- 
ous, large bush which throws out short runners, averaging eighteen inches. The flowers commence to come as 
soon as the plant nears complete development, and at the time it is in full bloom the entire plant including the 
runners, is a blaze of color. The large, golden-yellow flowers average two and one-half to three inches across. 
They are borne on erect, stiff stems six inches in length. Consequently the flowers stand well above the foliage, 
an arrangement which adds immeasurably to the showy appearance of the plant. 
When well grown these flowers have the appearance of a fully double flower, and are most attractive. An 
ordinary sized bouquet, when allowed to remain in a room for a short period of time, will fill the room with frag- 
rance. Pkt., 25c. : 
ASTER GIANT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE MIXED 
The color in these new Asters is start- 
lingly beautiful. A dual-tone effect is ob-

varying shades of Enchantress-pink, Ap- 
pleblossom, Deep-rose, Blue and Laven- 
der, but the disc, sometimes light yellow, 
sometimes blue, brings additional variety 
in tint. A bouquet comprising the com- 
plete ensemble of shades, presents delicate 
graduations of color as well as startling 
color contrasts which enchant the eye of 
the beholder. We feel confident this 
glorious new strain will be acclaimed a 
distinct acquisition to modern floriculture.

DELPHINIUM ELATUM 
“ICEBERG” 
This is the first white perennial Delph- 
inium which comes true from seed. It 
belongs to the elatum class and grows 
48 inches high. The 20 in. long spikes 
are thickly covered with large pure white 
blooms. These plants are especially noted 
for their strong healthy growth; they 
flower from June to August. In the sec- 
ond year when the plants are fully grown 
the big white spikes are particularly beau- 
tiful and form an effective contrast to 
dark and pale blue varieties. The Iceberg 
seedlings will be the starting point for 
creating splendid new varieties, since al- 
though great progress has been made with 
all blue shades of Delphinium. Pkt., 25c. Aster Giant California Sunshine Mixed.
