Burbank's Santa Rosa Poppy 



This is a new strain of the well-known Shirle}- Poppy. It has been 

 developed by Luther Burbank, the "Wizard of Horticulture." In 

 his description he says: " It far surpasses all other strains in size, 

 variety and splendor of their color variations, with wonderful new 

 shades of blue, lavender and salmon, never before seen in the Shir- 

 ley Poppy." The petals are beautifully crimped, and a bed of them 

 presents a sight that is worth going miles to see. Pkt. locts., 3 pkts., 

 25 cts., Vsoz. 50 cts. 



Burbank's Hybrid Delphinium 



Nothing is finer in the garden than the hardy Hybrid Delphinium. 

 On good ground they attain a height of from 6 to 8 feet, and the seed 

 herewith offered was grown by Luther Burbank. The seed will pro- 

 duce spikes 

 of magnificent 

 flowers. The

Burbank's Hardy Delphiniums in the border 



Burbank's Santa Rosa Poppy 



size, double and semi-double. The colors and shades of blue are wonderfully lovely 

 and varied, ranging from the light blue marked with white through every conceiv- 

 able shade of blue to a deep indigo and purple, several of these shades being blended 

 in many of the varieties ; there are but few plants that contribute so much to the 

 beauty of the garden or herbaceous border. By cutting off the spikes of the bloom 

 immediately after flowering and before the seed has been made, these Delphiniums 

 may be had in bloom for several nionlhs. A most beautiful effect may be produced 

 by planting these Delpliiniums in a bed of Candiduni lilies, bloonn'ng at the same time,: 

 the contrast between the e.xquisite shades of blue of the Delphinium and the pure 

 white of the beautiful liHes is something that when once seen will not be forgotten. 

 Sow seed early. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., trade pkt. $1. 



Burbank's New Iceland Poppies 



Although the Iceland I'oppy is a hardy perennial, they will bloom the first season 

 from spring-sown seed, but this should be done as early in the spring as possible. 

 The fragrant, elegant, crushed, satin-like flowers are produced in never-ending suc- 

 cession from the begimiing of June to October. This new Burbank strain contains 

 m a n y n e w 

 colors and 

 shades, i n- 

 cludingblush, 

 orange - rose, 

 salmon, white, 

 lemon, orange 

 striped, fleck- 

 ed, edged and

 cinating fash- 

 ion. Pkt. 20c.,

Chinese Lantern Plant, or Giant Scarlet Ground Cherry 



A remarkable novelty. The plant grows to a height of 18 to 24 

 inches, of sturdy, upright growth and is loaded with balloon like 

 husks 3 to 3^ inches in diameter. These husks are at first light 

 green, gradually turning to bright j'ellow and then to the most in- 

 tense orange-scarlet. At this period of growth the plant is strik- 

 ingly suggestive of being hung with hundreds of miniature Chinese 

 lanterns. Fruit of excellent flavor either as a fresh fruit for dessert 

 or for preserving. It is a perennial, the roots living over winter in 

 the ground. Pkt. 10 cts. 



Petunia, Canary Bird 



For years hybridizers have been endeavoring to get a Petunia of 

 true yellow color Until the new Canary Bird was found the effort 

 was futile. The flowers are of medium size, finely fringed and curled 

 edges of a distinct yellow color which deepens in the throat. Pkt. 

 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts. 



Pigmy Morning-GIory 



This little novelty is a gem in its way, and is excellent either for 

 pot-culture or for an edging for borders, or as individual specimen 

 plants. It grows only a few inches high, with small, beautifully col- 

 ored flowers in great abundance, running through all the shades 

 known to the common Morning-Glory, many of them veined and 

 beautifully striped. Pkt. 10 cts., trade pkt. 50 cts.
