Gaillardia Grandiflora gn 



2441 Goblin

 IS inches high and are covered with large showy yellow blooms 

 bordered with deep red. Pkt. 25c; special pkt. 75c.

 typical rich Lavender fragrance. 18 in. Pkt. $1.00.

2866 Lupinus, Russell Hybrids 11 



A most remarkable 

 '''< new strain of Hardy 



Lupines from Great 

 Britain 



The wide publicity given 

 to these new Lupines in all 

 the leading gardening papers 

 of this country is bound to 

 induce many gardeners to 

 give them a trial during the 

 coming year. The Russell 

 Hybrid Lupines have proved 

 the most outstanding hardy 

 Lupine ever developed. A 

 Gold Medal awarded by the 

 Royal Horticultural Society 

 of Great Britain in June 

 1937 is ample proof as to 

 what English gardening ex- 

 perts think about it. The 

 plants grow into well- 

 rounded, well-branched 

 bushes, each developing a 

 number of extra-large spikes 

 closely set with flowers. 

 One of the most outstand- 

 ing features of this strain 

 is the range of beautiful 

 colors — deep yellow, orange, 

 red, and brilliant bicolor 

 combinations never seen 

 here before in hardy 

 Lupines. Pkt. (10 seeds) 

 Lupinus, Russell Hybrids 25 c.

Nolana, Blue Ensign 



Nolana — Chilean Bellflower 

 3167 Lanceolata, Blue Ensign 



Through careful selection the flowers in this splendid Chilean 

 plant have been greatly improved in size. They are borne pro- 

 fusely on spreading plants 5 to 6 inches high. The blooms resemble 

 an Ipomoea and are a lovely ultramarine blue with a pure white 

 center. The fragrance of the blooms is another delightful feature. 

 Pkt. 30c; 5 pkts. $1.25. 



A Beautiful New Giant Pansy 



3179 Coronation Gold 



Here we have a new Giant Pansy which we know will delight 

 gardeners everywhere. The flowers are not only large and well- 

 formed but they are also of heavy substance. The color is canary 

 yellow with the lower petals flushed golden orange. Some of them 

 show rays of a lighter yellow. The lightly ruffled edges and the 

 mild spicy scent are additional worth-while features. Pkt. 50c; 

 special pkt. $1.25. 



Nierembergia Hippomanica 



Shakespeare's Pansies 



3248 Shakespeare's Pansies 



This lovely strain of Pansies was discovered five years ago. The 

 simplicity of the flower suggested saving the seed for propagation 

 and when later on the grower chanced to glance over an old flower 

 book he was surprised to find that what he had was practically iden- 

 tical with the Pansy as it was grown during Shakespeare's time. It is 

 a simple quaint httle Pansy suitable for any location in the garden 

 and can be grown easily wherever Pansies are successful. Its 

 form, habit, and time of flowering coincide with that of Viola 

 Papilio. Pkt. 50c; special pkt. $1.25.
