Never in our 102 years have we had the privilege of 

 bringing to our customers such a magnificent flower 

 strain as we now offer in Larkspur "Supreme".' Pic- 

 ture in your mind everything you have ever wanted 

 in Larkspur — and here it is! Unbelievably erect 

 habit of growth; a superabundance of lovely 

 flowers forming a central flower spike; the most 

 glorious perfection of bloom, with a delightfully 

 pleasing artay of doubles. The plants grow with 

 astonishing vigor and average from four to five 

 feet in height with flower spikes up to IV2 feet 

 in length. The closely spaced florets add greater 

 brilliance to the outstanding colors. This new 

 strain of the ever popular base-branching type 

 of Larkspur is, indeed, a must for your 1949 

 garden. 



2561 Dark Blue — Fine rich violet purple — 

 a brighter purple than we have ever 

 offered. A most vigorous grower, fully 

 double flowers closely set on stems. 



2563 Lilac — A pleasing shade of clear 

 lilac. This shade is extremely rare. Uni- 

 form height, long well filled flowering 

 spikes, closely covered with fully double 

 flower and large individual florets.

2565 Rose— Clear pure deep rose. Base branching. Plants 

 possess excellent vigor but are not quite as tall growing as 

 the other four varieties listed here. Flower spike heavy. 

 Possesses free flowering qualities. 



2566 Salmon — The most striking of this group; largest 

 flowering of all Larkspur. The color is most unusual — 

 a true shade of red salmon. ' Particularly suitable 

 for cut flowers. Flowers are actually gigantic, fully 

 double and closely packed, they form a magnificent 

 main spike. 



2568 White — A pure white without any trace of 



pink — truly as pure as the driven snow. Main 



stem is literally covered with closely placed 



double flowers for half of its height. It often 



obtains a height of 5 feet or more. Price of 



above: Pkt. 30c. 



NICOTIANA "DAYLIGHT" 



3044 — In this new hybrid, as the name implies, 

 the white blooms remain fully open during even 

 the most brilliant sunshine. When developed the 

 plants are of a very bushy habit reaching a height 

 of 1 Vz to 2 feet and; about the same distance across, 

 throwing an abundance of pure white flowers with the 

 same delightful scent in the evening as Nicotiana affinis 

 and makes an ideal subject for bedding purposes. Pkt. 25c. 



NICOTIANA SENSATION MIXED 



3051 — These hybrids are indeed a sensational addition to the existing 

 range of Nicotianas. They are similar in habit and siie to Nicotiana Day- 

 light, being approximately l'/2 to 2 ft. in height, of bushy habit, possessing 

 also the unique feature already well known of remaining open all day, 

 even in brilliant sunshine. The range of colors is very comprehensive, 

 passing from pure white to deep crimson, through many shades of cream, 

 purple and pink. Pkt. 25c. 



HOLLYHOCK "INDIAN SUMMER" 



ANNUAL DOUBLE MIXED 



(All America Prize Winner') 



2453 — This variety was obtained by crossing 

 Hollyhock single flowering Indian Spring with 

 Chaters double flowering and produces full 

 double flowers in a good range of colors. 

 Seeds should be sown indoors in February 

 or March in order to have plants in bloom in 

 August.

 Crimson" is a real reddish velvet crimson. Flowers large 

 and produced freely on bushy compact plants. Price per
