All Colors Mixed Read about this free gift on page 2. 



Arctotis 965 Scapigera 



This is closely related to the popu- 

 lar Blue-Eyed African Daisy and 

 has the same kind of large daisy- 

 like flowers, but excels it consider- 

 ably in its wide range of beautiful, 

 rich colors — orange, copper-red, 

 yellow, cream, salmon, carmine, etc.

 blooms are richer toward the ends 

 of the petals. It is a half-hardy 

 annual of vigorous growth with 

 blooms measuring 2}-£ to 3 in. 

 across. Pkt. 35c; 1/16 oz. $1.35;

1272 Dahlia, 



Unwin's Dwarf 



Hybrids

M 





Dahlia 



1272 Unwin's Dwarf Hybrids These bed- 

 ding Dahlias are as easy to grow from seed as 

 Asters or Zinnias and therefore are unlike the 

 tj'pe of Dahlia with which you are acquainted. 

 They are, though quite different, fully as de- 

 sirable because they make splendid round 

 bushes covered with large single and semi- 

 double blooms in a magnificent and wide 

 range of rich, bright colors. Because of their 

 compact growth they do not require staking, 

 rarely exceeding a height of 24 in. This makes 

 them particularly suitable for beds and bor- 

 ders. Planted early in the spring indoors, 

 they will begin blooming in July and con- 

 tinue until severe frost. Pkt. 35c; Vi oz. 85c; 

 1/4 oz. $1.50. 



African Daisy 



Dimorphotheca 



1319 Lemon Queen This is a special color 

 derived from the Golden African Daisy and 

 consequently resembles it in every way ex- 

 cept color. The large daisy-like blooms mea- 

 sure 2 to 2 Vi in. in diameter. They are borne 

 profusely on short stocky plants about 12 to 

 15 in. tall. Like many of the other flowers 

 which have come to our gardens from South 

 Africa the blooms will close up during late 

 afternoon and open again the following 

 morning. They are brilliant lemon-yellow 

 with a blue-black zone. Pkt. 35c; Vi oz. 75c; 

 1/4 oz. $1.25. 



Calendula 



1163 Golden Beam This is one of the new 



flowers everybody is talking about because it is 

 a splendid counterpart to the favorite Calen- 

 dula Radio introduced a few years ago. It has 

 bright golden yellow, quilled petals forming a 

 large round fluffy double flower. Pkt. 35c; 

 Vi oz. 75c; Vi oz. $1.25. 



Giant Imperial Larkspur 



1433 Gloria The Giant Imperial type of 

 Larkspur is by far the most popular because the 

 stately plants branch freely at the base so that 

 the individual flower spikes are exceptionally 

 long-stemmed. Beautiful deep rose blooms. 

 Pkt. 30c; 1/4 oz. 60c; Vi oz. $1.10. 



1434 PeachblOSSOm Of the same splendid
