Dimorphotheca 

 aurantiaca hybrida. 



H.A. These hy brids are similar 

 in habit and size of bloom to the 

 beautiful Dimorphotheca atii an- 

 tiaca, but range in color from 

 pure white to blush wliite with 

 salmon glow and orange-salmon 

 reverse, creamy white with lem- 

 on reverse, blush with chrome 

 and brown reverse, lemon with 

 deep brown reverse, canary-yel- 

 low, soft salmon and salmon- 

 orange. Tlie flowers have mostly 

 a central zone of another color 

 and they mostly have a dark 

 center. In conclusion we may 

 state that in our opinion they 

 form the most striking and pret- 

 tiest novelty sent out for several 

 years. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for 



Dimorphotheca a u - 

 rantiaca. <°'/°|f. °*'«y) 



H.A. This was the 



best annual novelty of 1909, and 

 gave great satisfaction wherever 

 grown. It is very easy of culture 

 and it must be considered an 

 amateur's favorite. No one with 

 a garden, no matter how small, 

 should be without this lovely, 

 useful, rare and extremely 

 showy annual from Namacjua- 

 land, South Africa, which will 

 soon become a great favorite 

 in all countries on account of 

 its easy culture and beauti- 

 fully colored flowers. The 

 plants, of very branchy habit, 

 grow about 12 to 15 inches 

 high and are exceedingiy pro- 

 fuse in flowering. Its Mar- 

 guerite-like blossoms, 2^ to 

 inches in diameter, show a 

 unique glossy, rich orange- 

 gold, which brilliant coloring 

 is rendered the more conspic- 

 uous by the dark-colored disc 

 surrounded by a black zone. 

 This splendid annual is well 

 adapted for groups or bor- 

 ders ; it produces its pretty 

 flowers very early after being 

 planted out in the open ground 

 in sunny situations and will 

 continue to flower during the 

 summer months. A bed in 

 full bloom is a magnificent 

 sight. Pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 

 cts., 1-16 oz. fi.

 sembles in form and free-bloom- 

 ing habit the /. HoUlii, but dif- 

 fers from it in the dark foliage

 duced plentifully out-of-doors 

 during summer, and in the green- 

 house during winter. Valuable

 ter repeated trials has turned

 cature of the flowers is formed 

 from several rows of petals of 

 the same shape and color as 

 those of the single - flowered 

 type. Height of the plants, 8 to 

 9 inches. The double flowers 

 preserve their freshness a 

 longtime. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1. 



Salvia azurea alba 

 grandiflora. 5; ^ 



° The large- 



flowering blue Salvia, intro- 

 duced several years ago, has 

 been found extremly useful 

 and fine even for the most deli- 

 cate floral work, and this new 

 variety will, on account of 

 its fine white color, be found 

 still more so. The long and 

 slender spikes are covered 

 with large white flowers. 

 We recommend this variety.
