CANTERBURY BELLS (New Annual) 



Seed planted in February blooms in 'July 



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 



NEW DELPHINIUMS 



2086 Iceberg {Perennial) 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.) Pkt. 25c 



MIMTJLUS RED EMPEROR 



DELPHINIUM ICEBERG 



LUPINUS HABTWEGGII (New) 



2083 Chinensis Cambridge Blue {Annual) This 

 Blue Annual or Chinensis Delphinium far surpasses 

 Belladonna in brilliancy. It is a rich clear BliXe. 

 Habit of growth about two to three feet high, fine 

 for cut flowers Pkt. 25c 



LUPINUS HARTWEGII 



GIANT MIXED (Annual) 



2659 A new improved strain of Annual Lupines. They 

 grow from three to four feet tall and have the base 

 branching habit, with four to six spikes long to a 

 plant. Each spike has from twenty-five Vo fifty 

 blooms. Colors include dark blue, rose and white. 

 We feel confident that this new strain will increase 

 the popularity of this fine Annual Lupine so easily 

 and quickly grown from seed. Offered in mixture.

MIMULUS "RED EMPEROR"Mr.naa/) 



2823 Minulus are becoming deservedly more popular 

 each year: few plants have such a long flowering 

 period or give such a wealth of bloom. The gem 

 for the border or rockery is bright crimson scarlet in 

 color, very free flowering indeed and compact in 

 habit. Sown in March it will bloom in late June. 

 Red Emperor thrives in moist places and is there- 

 fore an excellent subject for planting in sunken 

 gardens and on the edges of water courses and 

 ponds Pkt. 25c 



PETUNIAS (Annual) 



3311 Star of California (Annual). This is a magni- 

 ficent 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 

 eflect in window boxes or hanging baskets is 

 dazzling. {See illustration) Pkt. 25c 



3361 Coppery King; (Annual). 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 succeeded 

 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 Pkt. 25c 



3362 Setting Sun (Annual). A newly introduced pro- 

 duct of the hybridizer'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 completly with beau- 

 tifully fringed rose-pink blossoms measuring three 

 inches across. This variety is particularly suited 

 for growing in pots, as well as in the border, etc. 

 {See illustration) Pkt. 25c 



3364 "Gottfried Michaels" (Annual). Last year the 

 variety "Setting Sun" was introduced and now a 

 second well fixed color comes to join the fringed 

 "Erfurt Dwarf" Petunias. The compact bushes 12 

 ins. high, are covered with daintily fringed, bright 

 amaranth red flowers with dark throat, measuring 

 about 3 ins. in diameter. They are excellently 

 suited for borders as well as for pots and window 

 boxes. {See illustrations) Pkt. 25c
