FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES 
ASTER HEART OF FRANCE 
The best pure red Aster ever introduced. Heart of France opens red as the 
purest ruby, deepens with age and retains its remarkable beauty to the very 
end. The petals appear strikingly changeable, showing now a glow and sheen 
quite unique, now a soft, warm, velvety texture. In any light, natural or 
artificial. Heart of France is startlingly beautiful and will command instant 
admiration. 
The flowers are large and fuU with never a trace of hollow centre. The plants 
are of branching type and very robust habit. The stems are long and strong 
and have very few laterals. The plants begin to bloom quite early in the 
season and open fully with the mid-season varieties. Pkt. 35c, 
NEW DOUBLE COSMOS 
PINK BEAUTY — New flowers are rare, and these double Cosmos are as diflferent 
from the well-known single ones as though they were a different flower. The 
centre is double with many small petals and a rim of large outer petals. Pkt., 
25c. 
WHITE QUEEN— Pin-e white and double as above. Pkt., 25c. 
DOUBLE CRIMSON— Beautiful rich crimson. Double flowers. Pkt. 2Sc. 
BAKER'S SUNBEAM 
POPPIES 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, A new race of perennial 
Poppies, resembling the well-known Iceland Poppy, but in length of stem, 
size of flower and robust habit they are so far in advance as to 
justify their being considered new and distinct. Flowering from May till 
October, they are ideal plants for hardy border or bedding work, and as cut 
flowers they will be used as freely as Sweet Peas. Pkt., 3Sc. 
SIDALCEA "ROSE QUEEN" 
Raised by a famous Irish Nurseryman, who describes it as "the finest hardy 
perennial ever produced." Each plant develops a sheaf of spikes 5 to 6 feet 
high, well furnished with beautiful rose-coloured flowers during July and 
August. Pkt., 35c. 
SUNFLOWER "DAZZLER" 
Some showy sports are coming from the new break in the Helianthus 
Cucumerifohus, and the present one is well worthy of perpetuation, growing 3 
to 4 feet high, the plant branches freely and bears flowers about 4 inches 
across, of a rich chestnut, tipped orange, with darker centre, in general 
appearance somewhat resembling a Gaillardia grandiflora. Can be recommended 
to produce bold and striking effects in the annual border. Pkt., 30c. 
VERBENA "SCARLET 
QUEEN" 
VERBENA HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA (MAMMOTH) "SCARLET QUEEN." 
— Continuous patient endeavour to fix the separate colours of the beautiful 
Mammoth Auricula-eyed class is now beginning to bear fruit. The one we 
now offer produces flowers of the most vivid scarlet, similar to that 
of Verbena Hybrida " Defiance, " but with a large and distinct white eye which 
occupies almost half the surface of the corolla. The blooms often exceed an 
inch in diameter and succeed each other for a very long period, so that nothing 
finer can be conceived for striking bedding effects. Pkt., 35c. 
ZINNIA "ROSE KING" 
ZINNIA ELEGANS ROBUSTA GRANDIFLORA PLENISSIMA "ROSE 
KING." — To this splendid race of giant Zinnias we are pleased to be able to 
add, after much care and selection, a variety bearing flowers of a beautiful rose 
tint, a colour which did not hitherto exist in this section. The flowers 
are of immense size, probably surpassing those of any other Zinnia, often 
attaining a diameter of 6 to 7 inches. This grand new variety will be of highly 
ornamental effect in the gardens, and receive an assured welcome from all 
concerned in decorative horticulture. Pkt., 3Sc. 
GIANT DOUBLE ZINNIA 
'TICOTEE" 
This variety is one of a remarkable new and distinct class of Zinnias, produc- 
ing double flowers, measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, in the following 
colors; orange, yellow, flesh and pink, each petal being tipped with a'.dark 
chocolate or maroon shade, giving the flowers a very pleasing appearance, 
resembling a Picotee Carnation. Giant Double Picotce is ver>' desirable for 
bedding or for cutting. Mixed colors. Pkt., 2Sc. 
NEW EARLY FLOWERING LONG 
There is no doubt but that this new type of Sweet Peas, put out last year for 
the first time, fills a distinct want. Not everybody is fortunate enough to live 
where Sweet Peas will flourish, and, strange as it may seem, this new class of Sweet 
Peas is useful, both where the seasons are too hot for Sweet Peas ordinarily, and 
too cold. The best varieties for greenhouse forcing everywhere. In climates 
which are cold and where frosts come early, these same Sweet Peas, by taking less 
time to come into flower, will give a month more bloom than the ordinary late 
varieties. 
These Sweet Peas are entirely new and are here introduced for the first time. 
We do not mean that these New Early Sweet Peas should take the place of the 
magnificent Late Flowering Spencers, but they are an addition to the garden of 
those who wish flowers early and late. 
EARLY MELODY — A deeper shade of pink than Early Song Bird, a good pink, 
closely resembling Countess Spencer. The flowers are borne on long stems, 
and mostly four large, well-waved blossoms to each stem. Pkt., 25c. 
EARLY HEATHER BELL — The color is a rich and pleasing mauve, but after 
standing in water the color becomes a beautiful mauve lavender. Pkt., 25c. 
EARLY MORNING STAR— Morning Star is practically the same color as the 
much admired Thomas Stevenson; that is, a deep orange scarlet or plain color 
in the standard and orange pink in the wings. Pkt., 30c. 
EARLY SNOW FLAKE — As its name indicates, this is pure white and is cniite 
the best early flowering White Spencer., Flowers come on long stems. This 
variety is appreciated by all florists. Pkt., 30c. 
SEASON SPENCER SWEET PEAS

Spencer." This is one of the very popular colors with all Sweet Pea raisers, 
and this variety has flowers splendidly shaped and placed. Pkt., 2Sc.

great wealth of blossom borne in fours on long stems. The color is a light 
flesh pink, about like Mrs. Hugh Dickson. Pkt.. 25c.

large flowers. Pkt., 35c.

out of doors in hot weather, but under glass is bright and clear. Pkt., 35c.

quite the best lavender. The flowers have less mauve than in our well-known 
variety, "Asta Ohn." They are of perfect form. Pkt., 35c. 
EARLY SUNSET — A pastel shade of great beauty, especially when grown under 
glass. The color is a rich mauve pink on a white ground. Pkt., 35c.
