Early Colonial Branching 



Here lor the first time is a tall and really .ex- 

 clusively branching type of stock. This new 

 strain blooms about two weeks earlier than the 

 perpetual branching class, and grows to a 

 height of two to two and one-half feet. 



Unlike many strains, the new early Colonial 

 does not produce a center spike, and conse- 

 quently does not require pinching back to make 

 it branch. From the base of each plant eight to 

 ten heavy 30-inch branches spread out and 

 produce a plant 20 inches in diameter. The 

 large. florets are formed on spikes 12 to 15 inches 

 long. 



3755 Rose Standish. A magnificent large-flow- 

 ered bright rose. A fine color for cutting and 

 one that shows off to advantage under artificial 

 light. 



3752 Mayflower— Red Rose. 3753 Priscilla—

Stock, Gardenia 



3748 This remarkable, new Giant Column Stock 

 is .indeed the last word in perfection for its 

 class. Shimmering glistening white, the flowers 

 are the purest snow white of any Stock variety 

 yet introduced. Producing only one flower spike 

 to a plant, this spike will, however, be of enor- 

 mous size, 12 inches to 15 inches of florets and 

 nearly 3 feet in length, and 4 or even 41/2 inches 

 in depth, with individual florets closely and 

 compactly placed on the stem. The robust habit 

 and uniformity of type, combined with a high 

 percentage of doubles, places Gardenia defi- 

 nitely in a class by itself. Especially recom- 

 mended for greenhouse culture.

 Butterfly Flower or Poorman'sOrchid 



Our strains are valuable for pots and decora- 

 tion. In the garden sow the seed directly out- 

 doors late in spring where the plants are to 

 grow, as* they do not transplant readily. The 

 plants begin blooming in about two months' 

 time. The Schizanthus is a superb cut-flower. 

 Arranged in a vase, it resembles sprays of or- 

 chids and keeps in splendid condition for a week 

 or more. 



3670 Dr. Badger's Giant Flowering Hybrids. A 

 super strain, robust and bushy, V/2 to 2 feet in 

 height, with bright green, fern-like foliage. The 

 flowers measure from 1 to IVi inches across. The 

 light varieties, white, pink, buff-rose or yellow, 

 have marked centers. The darker sorts are of 

 purple, mauve or red, margined by a deep tone 

 of the ground color. Mixed Colors.
