are Pleasing Additions 



to your planting list 



NICOTIANA [hhA-2 ft.] You will have rare perfume in the 

 garden both morning and evening as well as fine decoration 

 in the border if you plant this airy member of the Tobacco 

 family. The graceful stems, slightly branching, rise above 

 the leaves of vivid green and bear clusters of gay blossoms. 

 The flowers are like long horns with five flaring lobes at the 

 margins. 



AfTinis Hybrids A variety of colors including white, lavender, 

 purple, rose, and red H oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



NIG ELLA (Love-in-a-mist) [hA-18 in.] Soft feathery foUage 

 which partly conceals the blossoms has surrounded this 

 plant with a bit of mystery as shown by its contrasting 

 names of "Love-in-a-mist," "Devil-in-a-bush," and "Lady- 

 in-the-green." The delicate ruff of petals forms 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 

 in almost any garden soil from seed sown in the open ground. 



Damascena (Miss Jekyll) A lovely variety with cornflower- 

 blue, coquettish flowers on long stems quite suitable for 

 picking Oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



OENOTHERA (Evening Primrose) [hB-2l4 ft.] Of the 

 twilight blooming plants Evening Primrose is the most 

 showy and attractive. The large open plants are well clothed 

 with leaves and have numerous erect stalks arranged in the 

 form of a candelabra. The flowers of brilliant yellow are 

 often 3 inches across, and clusters of them decorate the tops 

 of the upright spikes. The plants prefer a sunny spot, but 

 will also do well in semi-shaded situations. 



Lamarckiana H oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Painted Daisy (See Py ret brum) 



Painted Tongue (See Salpiglossis) 



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 foliage. It should bear an abundance of 

 five-petaled flowers of fine velvety texture, circular in 

 outline, on stiff stems. 



Large Flowered A very desirable bedding strain, incorrectly 

 called "Trimardeau" by many people. The flowers are of 

 good size and shape, superior to the usual English bedding 

 sorts which normally have smaller and less well formed 

 flowers. 



Black An intense velvety jet black. 



Emperor William Fine indigo blue with deeper blue center. 



Lord Beaconsfield Lower petals purple; upper petals 

 white, flushed lavender. 



Purple A handsome sort, rich violet purple. 



White Splendid large flowers, glistening pure white. 



Yellow A very popular, clear golden yellow. 



Any one of the above: }i oz. 80c; pkt. 10c 



Choice Mixed A special mixture of fine sorts in a wide 

 range of colors, shades, and markings. . . 34 oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Trimardeau Another 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 M 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 



Maple Leaf Giants This is an entirely distinct type of 

 Pansy. It has the largest flowers and the most vigorous 

 plants we have ever seen. The color range is remark- 

 able Pkt. 50c 



Swiss Giant or Roggli Within the last few years the blos- 

 soms of this strain have been remarkably improved in every 

 way. The plants are compact in habit and they produce 

 immense circular flowers for a long blooming season. 



Berna Deep blue 



Lake of Thun, Ullswater Blue with blotches of much 

 deeper shade. 



Alpenglow Rich garnet tones with handsome markings. 



Rhinegoid Golden petals and striking deep brown blotches. 

 Any one of the above: jt oz. $1.00; pkt. 50c 



Mixed A collection of the richest colors and markings 

 knov/n in Pansies i^ oz. 60c; pkt. 25c 



Geneva Super Giants We consider this, our own reselection 

 of a Swiss expert's masterpiece, to be the highest develop- 

 ment of the Roggh type. Mammoth flowers of heavy 

 texture, long stems, and unequaled colors Pkt. 50c 



In the twilight, tall stalks of Evening Primrose display 

 golden clusters of sweetness.
