ADAMS’ FLOWER SPECIALTIES 
Zinnia 
Dahlia Flowered 
The Dahlia Flow¬ 
ered strain was in¬ 
troduced in 1929 and 
all the colors have 
been introduced at 
various times since. 
The plants are of 
medium height, 2-3 
feet, very robust, 
bearing many long 
stems of the fully 
double, huge flowers, 
which resemble the 
show type of Dahlia. 
Pkt., 15c; 54 oz., 75c. 
Nasturtium 
GOI.DEN GIiEAM. The plant 
forms a vigorous large bush 
which produces short run¬ 
ners, averaging 18 inches. The 
sweet scented flowers com¬ 
mence as soon as the plant 
nears development and when 
well grown, produce a blaze 
of color, the long stemmed 
flowers standing well above 
and almost completely cover¬ 
ing the foliage. The plants 
may be forced in the green¬ 
house for early cut flowers, 
the long stems lending them¬ 
selves admirably for cut flow¬ 
er use, while the sweet scent 
given off is one of the most 
delightful characteristics of 
the flowers. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c. 
Aster 
CAUPORNIA sunshinf:. 
This lovely aster has been 
rightly called the most beau¬ 
tiful aster in the world. The 
flowers are 4-5 Inches across 
in shades of pink, apple blos¬ 
som, deep rose, blue and lav¬ 
ender, contrasting with the 
light yellow or blue centers. 
The outer petals are some¬ 
what loosely placed, giving 
an airy, lace-like effect which 
is altogether charming. Fkt., 
15c; 54 oz., 50c. 
Marigold 
GUINEA 60ED. Distinctly new in 
type, of graceful pyramidal habit, 
Guinea Gold produces a neat, com¬ 
pact plant, about 2% feet high, lit¬ 
erally covered with blossoms. The 
flowers, about 2Vz inches across, are 
semi-double in character, and loose¬ 
ly ruffled. The color is a brilliant 
golden orange or California gold, 
the color so much in demand by 
florists. The absence of the charac¬ 
teristic Marigold odor has been in 
its favor, as well as the excellent 
keeping qualities when used as a 
cut flower. Pkt., 15c; 54 oz., 50c. 
Larkspur 
GIANT IMFEBIAI.. Tall, upright, 
compact, basal branching in habit, 
the Giant Imperials have supersed¬ 
ed all other types of Larkspurs for 
florists’ and general garden use. 
The delphinium-like spikes of dou¬ 
ble flowers, carried on stems 4-6 
feet long, are compactly placed 
on the upright growing plants, re¬ 
quiring only about one-half the 
space needed for the old stock flow¬ 
ered type of Larkspur. Fkt., 15c; 54 
oz., 50c.
