FOUR NEW FLOWER VARIETIES 



Phlox Drummondi — Star Mixed 



Long blooming season, easy culture, and bright, freshly 

 colored flowers make Phlox Drummondi one of our best 

 annuals. The new Star Phlox shares all these qualities and 

 has the added attractiveness of deeply cut, star-shaped 

 flowers, somewhat smaller than our strain of regular Phlox 

 Drummondi but even more brightly colored. They are pink, 

 violet, crimson, or purple with darker centers and nar- 

 row white margins. (See further description on page 82.) 

 Oz. 90c; Pkt. 10c. 



Pyrethrum Roseum — "Painted Daisy" 



Though unfamiliar to most Americans this is not strictly 

 a new variety, for the brilliant daisy-like flowersof Pyrethrum 

 Roseum have long been conspicuous in European gardens. 

 We are now offering a strain which has proved perfectly 

 adapted to North American growing conditions, is of easy . 

 culture, and has large, very brightly colored flowers. We 

 whole-heartedlv recommend it. (See further description on 

 page 84.) Single Mixed— Pkt. 10c. 



Sweet Peas — Early Springsong 



The flowers are large, waved, of good substance, and 

 colored a warm rose pink faintly suffused with salmon. Early 

 Springsong is the last word in early pink sweet peas and 

 created a sensation when introduced as a high priced florists' 

 novelty in 1928. We have secured a supply of seed grown 

 from the original stock and are offering it at prices which 

 make this magnificent variety available to everybody. (See 

 further description on page 87.) Oz. 90c; Pkt. 10c. 



Sweet Peas — Early White Harmony 



A vigorous grower with flowers nearly as large as 

 Harmony, well waved, of exceptionally good substance, and 

 a clear, glistening white. Though black seeded the blooms 

 show no tinge of blush pink or lavender except when 

 considerably past their prime. We are very much impressed 

 by this new sweet pea and consider it the best early flowering white variety, especially for growing indoors.

Coreopsis — Lanceolata Grandiflora 



(See 



FOUR OLD ONES THAT ARE EXTRA GOOD 



Coreopsis — Lanceolata Grandiflora 



One of the most satisfying perennials grown. Its bright yellow flowers on long stems are excellent for cutting 

 while its very easy culture and long blooming season make it one of the best of the tall bedding varieties. If 

 you do not already know Coreopsis Lanceolata Grandiflora you should get acquainted with it this year. (See 

 further description on page 71.) Oz. 60c; Pkt. 10c. 



Petunia — Crimson King 



Petunias make an effective display over a longer season than any other bedding variety we have tried, and 

 of all petunias Crimson King is the most richly colored. The flowers are large and a deep but very brilliant 

 royal crimson-. If you want red flowers either for the border or for massed bedding you can do no better than 

 choose Crimson King. (See further description on page 81.) 34 Oz. 60c; Pkt. 10c. 



Double Portulaca 



You probably need no introduction to this variety for it is already a favorite. Growing only a few inches 

 tall but with a wide spread and very plentiful flowers, it is sometimes called "Bed of Roses." Double Portulaca 

 never runs quite true to type, some of the flowers always reverting to the single form, but for showiness and ease 

 of culture this variety is unsurpassed. (See further description on page 83.) Mixed — Pkt. 10c. 



Salpiglossis 



A decade ago few people knew anything about this variety except that it had a funny name, but now Salpi- 

 glossis is becoming one of our most highly prized annuals. The flowers are superbly colored, of graceful lily-like 

 shape, and set on long stems which make them ideal for cutting. It is easily grown and should be in every 

 garden. (See further description on page 84.) Extra Fine Mixed — Oz. 90c; Pkt. 10c,
