NIGELLA (Love-in-a-mist) [hA-18 in.] Soft feathery foliage 

 which partly conceals the blossoms has surrounded this 

 plant with a bit of mystery. The petals form a rosette 

 with toothed edges, in the center of which is a dome-shaped 

 pistil with stamens crooked fantastically above it and a 

 wreath of mossy green fibers around it. The plant will grow 

 from seed sown in the open ground.

 blue, coquettish flowers on long stems. .Oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



OENOTHERA (Evening Primrose) [hB-2H ft] A twilight 

 blooming plant. Flowers of brilliant yellow are often three 

 inches across. Clusters of them decorate the tops of upright 

 spikes which are arranged in the form of a candelabra.

Large flowers and unusually attractive colorings —

we offer. 



PANSY [hA-8 in.] Gardeners who want Pansies that are 

 really good must choose their seed with unusual care. It 

 takes many years to develop perfect strains and great care 

 to keep them stable. In the several strains which we offer, 

 to suit different uses and different purses, it is our aim to 

 approach the ideal plant. This ideal is robust and compact 

 with handsome fohage. It should bear an abundance of 

 five-petaled flowers of fine velvety texture, circular in 

 outline, on stiff stems. 



Trimardeau A large flowering class with well rounded 

 flowers. Normally, the upper two petals are of the same 

 single color, contrasting with another shade in the three 

 lower petals which are beautifully blotched. An excellent 

 bedding mixture in many colors, chiefly the rich darker 

 shades i^ oz. 60c; pkt. 10c 



Steele's Mastodon A vigorous Oregon type, particularly 

 desirable for cutting as the plants are taller and have 

 longer stems. Esteemed in California for bedding. A fine 

 blend for bright effects Pkt. 25c
