NEW INTRODUCTIONS 



FOR 1932— Continued 



DELPHINIUM ICEBERG (Perennial) 



2086 We have genuine pleasure in offering this 

 variety, as it is the first white delphinium to 

 come true from seed. The plant grows about 

 four feet high and the spikes are thickly 

 clothed with large white flowers, during July 

 and August. It is not until its second year 

 that it attains perfection. {See illustration.)

GAILLARDIA BIJOU (Perennial) 



2251 The flowers of perennial Gaillardias are 

 mostly red, maroon or scarlet, with yellow 

 edgings. Bijou is a distinct break-a-way 

 from the general rule; bearing pale yellow 

 flowers with a rich wine-red zone. When 

 grown in masses, the effect is verj' striking. 

 The flowers measure 2 34 inches across, and 

 are borne on long two foot stems, which makes 

 Bijou very desirable for cutting purposes as 

 well as valuable for the border. Flowers 

 from midsummer onwards. (See illustration.)

HELIOPHILA Leptophylla (Annual) 



2394 This is one of the new annuals from South 

 Africa previously alluded to. It is a very 

 charming little plant growing only about 

 eighteen inches high and bears a pretty blue 

 flower with a white eye. These are carried 

 on long graceful sprays, and when planted 

 next to the daisy-like Ursinia, or with the 

 African daisy, the effect is marvelous and 

 unique. It is a fine plant for borders, etc. 

 Thin the seedlings out to nine inches apart.

PETUNIA COCKATOO (Annual) 



3302 This is an excellent dwarf variety. The 

 plants attain a height of 8 inches, are round 

 and compact, covered with small round blos- 

 soms, and are splendid for beds and borders. 

 The flowers are a velvety deep violet purple 

 with irregular sized white spots and stars 

 which give to the plant and bed an extra- 

 j ordinarilv gav and vivid appearance. (See 

 illustration.) . '. Pkt. 25c 



PETUNIA STAR OF CALIFORNIA 



(Annual) 

 3311 This is a magnificent new Petunia of the 

 Balcony Type, bred with extra long branches 

 for window boxes and hanging baskets. The 

 flowers are velvety violet with a touch of 

 crimson, starred with five pure white blotches. 

 The flowers are quite large and the effect 

 in window boxes or hanging baskets is daz- 

 zling. {See illustration.) Pkt. 25c 



PETUNIA COPPERY KING (Annual) 



3361 The raiser of this variety writes: "For years 

 I have been working to 'fix' permanently, 

 this dwarf variety of the large flowering 

 Petunias, which are so popular. I am glad 

 to say that in Coppery King, I have suc- 

 ceeded, and have now enough stock on hand 

 to offer the seed." 



The large flowers are coppery red in, color, 

 quite unique in the Petunia, with wide open 

 throats. The plants usually grow only 

 fifteen inches high and are fine for window 

 boxes. (See illustration.) Pkt. 25c 



PETUNIA SETTING SUN (Annual) 



3362 A newly introduced product of the hybri- 

 (iizer's art; a result of various crossings. The 

 variation is now fixed and comes true from 

 seed. It forms compact little bushes about 

 one foot high, covered completely with beau- 

 tifully fringed rose-pink blossoms measuring 

 three inches across. This variety is par- 

 ticularly suited for growing in pots, as well 

 as in the border, etc. {See illustration.)
