FLOWER SEEDS 



RARE NEW FLOWERS FOR 1928 



New Shasta Scabiosa 



NEW SWEET PEA, SNOWBALL 



A new white Late Spencer Sweet Pea, which as its name implies, is so heavily 

 laden with substance that it stands out among others of its class as a snow-capped 

 mountain. A vigorous grower with long sturdy stems supporting a group ot iour 

 beautifully frilled and well spaced flowers, making a dazzling flash ot whiteness. 

 Its ability to retain, if not improve its whiteness in water and its unusual abun- 

 dance of perfume will always command attention as a cut flower. Pkt. 6b cts. 



TWO NEW SCABIOSAS 



Peach Blossom. This variety is a beautiful shade of peach-blossom-pink, of 

 large size and long stems. An excellent cut-flower. Pkt. 25 cts., 4 pkts. $1.00. 

 Shasta. Pure white of enormous size. The flowers measure three and a half 

 inches across with extremely long stems. Pkt. 25 cts., 4 pkts. $1.00. 



NEW GIANT MAMMOTH TYPE ZINNIAS 



In presenting the type below, we offer a rare collection of striking ^and 

 desirable colors. We have overcome the objectionable feature of the old giant 

 tvpe — the conical shape-^ur new Giants having smaller centers and more loosely 

 placed petals, while the size of the flower has been notably increased over 

 the Giant Plenissima. 



Orange King. A striking shade and can be compared favorably with the color 

 of the calendula from which it takes its name. 

 , Lemon Queen. Immense size. Petals light canary on the upper and cerise 

 on the lower side, the two shades blending as the flower develops, making a 

 variety of lemon tints. It is also unique inasmuch as it carries a pleasant odor. 

 Purity. Like the Polar Bear, Dahlia-flowered type, it is a clean white 

 Rose Queen. Opens first as bright rose with a deep rose-red center and 

 gradually develops into a warm deep rose when in lull bloom.
