SHASTA DAISY. One of the most popular of Mr. Bur- 
bank's productions. Perennial, about 2 feet high, 
flowering for the greater part of the year, but at its 
best in spring and early summer. Desirable for beds 
or borders and especially valuable for cutting pur- 
poses, flowers lasting a long time in water. Sow in 
spring or early fall in seed boxes, covering the seed 
very lightly; when large enough transplant.

SILENE PENDULA COMPACTA. Annual, forms com- 
pact little plants about 6 inches high, flowers rose- 
colored; useful for edgings, etc. Pkt., 5c. 
SMILAX. Perennial climbing vine, 6 to 8 feet, thriving 
best in a partially shaded place. Largely grown for 
decorating purposes. Soak the seed in hot water for 
a few hours before sowing. Pkt., 10c. 
SOLIDAGO CANADENSIS. "Golden Rod." A favorite 
perennial plant for borders, 2 to 4 feet. Flowers 
golden-yellow, in long spikes. Sow the seed in early 
fall in seed boxes and transplant. Pkt., 10c. 
STATICE LATIPOLIA. "Sea Lavender." Perennial, 
1% feet, producing panicles of small lavender blue 
flowers, which can be cut and dried and used for 
bouquets. Sow the seed late in spring or early in the 
fall, in seed boxes, and transplant. Pkt., 10c. 
STOCKS. "Gilliflower." A favorite annual, succeeding 
best in California during the winter season. Largely 
grown for cut flowers, lasting a long time in water. 
Very effective for planting in beds or borders. To 
obtain the best results the seed should be sown in 
August, September, or early part of October, in 
seed boxes of rather light soil, and afterwards 
transplanted to the open ground. In transplanting 
stocks care should be taken to save the small or 
weak growing plants, as these generally produce 
double flowers, while the strong, robust growing 
seedlings often come single. The seed I offer is ob- 
tained direct from one of the best specialists in 
Germany and can be relied upon to produce a large 
percentage of double flowers.
