Gaillardia Portola Giant 



New Double Hollyhock 



2792 Imperator. A striking departure from the type, which arrests 

 the attention of the beholder. Bearing flowers 5§ to 6§ inches across, 

 outer petals wide, elegantly frilled and deeply fringed, centre a very 

 double rosette, the whole suggesting a huge crested Begonia. The 

 coloring consists of many charming combinations, such as cerise 

 salmon with centre of cream reflecting rose; delicate pink with centre 

 of rose flushed yellow; and many other charming combinations. 

 25 cts. per pkt.; Special pkt., 75 cts.

New Eschscholtzia 



(California Poppy) 

 2423 Dazzler. The description "Flame Color" has 

 been applied to many flowers but never has it 

 fitted as aptly, for "Dazzler" is really a true 

 flame scarlet. The flowers are large and of 

 extremely beautiful form, and against the 

 peculiarly beautiful foliage they show to great 

 advantage. 25 cts. per pkt.; j oz., 75 cts.
