 Where a variety has not been raised or tested by us in our Red Bank seed trial grounds, we have printed the raiser's own description. 



Campanula Olympica 



AGERATUM DWARF BLUE CAP 



1037 This is the best dwarf Ageratum yet produced. The plants are 

 tiny mounds of flowers, which are large and compact and of a deep 

 rich blue. The foliage is small and inconspicuous, so the effect is that 

 of a solid mass of flowers. Height 6 ins. (See illustration) .... Fkt. 25c 



ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 



Award of Merit by the All American Selections Committee 

 1227 The first variety of this giant race. The color is a serenely pure 

 shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep and unusually large, 

 yet artistically graceful in feathery effect of the interlacing petals. In 

 the annual border or cut flower bed in the garden, they stand majesti- 

 cally above their fellow asters. Height 2 J-^ft.

 use as well. Height 2 ft Pkt. 25c 



CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA SUNSHINE 



Gold Medal Award by the All American Selections Committee 

 1589 An entirely new break in Calendulas originating in Australia. 

 Remarkable for its great length of stem and a striking resemblance 

 the flower bears to a Chrysanthemum. The petals are long and wide, 

 drooping in the same manner as some Chrysanthemums, giving the 

 large double flowers a globular outline. The color is a clear buttercup 

 yellow, and it is an ideal cutting flower. (See page 89.) Pkt. 25c 



CAMPANULA, Rotundifolia OLYMPICA 

 (Perennial) 



1652 Although classed as an Alpine plant, this variety is from the 

 Olympian Mountains in the State of Washington. It grows about a 

 foot high, and flowers very freely all summer and autumn. The bells 

 are light blue and measure about one inch across. Very desirable 

 for Rock Gardens. (See illustration) Pkt. 25c 



ANNUAL CANTERBURY BELLS 



1653 Many years of careful selection have at last given us an annual 

 Canterbury Bell which blooms from seed in less than six months. It 

 should now be possible to have this beautiful flower bloom at almost 

 any time of the year. The plant grows about two and a half feet tall, 

 each plant having from six to eight spikes of blooms. We offer this 

 in mixture containing the following colors: dark blue, light blue, 

 pink, rose and white Pkt. 25c

1902 A new race of half hardy perennial Chrysanthemum which 

 flowers six months from sowing of seed. It is very easily grown in 

 pots or in the open ground. A fine cut flower and a showy pot plant. 

 The colors are vivid and include scarlet, crimson, bronze, orange, 

 yellow, white, etc. Mixed colors. This variety makes an admirable 

 greenhouse subject, falling as it does in cascades of beautiful flowers.

DAHLIA ORCHID FLOWERED MIXED 



2068 An attractive break in Dahlias which comes 90 per cent true 

 from seed and has a great variation in color. As will be seen from the 

 accompanying photograph, the petals are attractively twisted and 

 curled, making the strain an attractive one for both garden and 

 decorative work. Dahlias are as easy to grow from seed as most 

 annuals. (See illustration) Pkt. 35c 



Chrysanthemum Cascade 



k HUNNEMANNIA SUNLITE 



Award of Merit by the All American Selections Committee
