New and Distinctive Flowers—Continued 
Marigold 
GUINEA GOLD—The flowers of this exquisite Marigold are loosely 
ruffled, semi-double and of medium size. The color, a brilliant 
golden orange, is not found in any other Marigold. As a cut 
flower it is ideal, especially for bowl arrangement if grown with¬ 
out disbranching. In tests for keeping qualities, they have been 
found to keep in good condition for eight days after cutting. A 
small percentage of plants will undoubtedly bear off type flowers. 
Through scientific selection it is hoped the type will eventually 
be standardized. Pkt. 20c. 
DWARF FRENCH MONARCH—During the blooming season when we 
check the trials and write catalog descriptions it is difficult to 
find a sufficient number of adjectives to describe the many beau¬ 
tiful flowers. Also it is difficult to refrain from having them, all 
“best” varieties. Therefore we shall only describe this Marigold 
as dwarf compact habit of growth, tight, double flowers in a color 
range including orange, bronze, yellow and mahogany. Most of 
the flowers have two or more shades in stripes or spotted effects. 
We recommend it and hope you will try it. Pkt. 20c. 
DWARF FRENCH GOLD STAR—Grows about 10 inches high. Flow¬ 
ers are deep golden yellow with bronze stripes or some of them 
may be brown with yellow stripes. This and other French Mari¬ 
golds are recommended for winter bloom in Southern California 
and for rock gardens, Pkt. 20c. 
Pansy 
A & M ENGLISH GIANT MIXTURE—Interesting changes frequently 
occur in Pansy styles and this one is exceptionally beautiful. The 
flowers are very large and come in fascinating bright color com¬ 
binations. The characteristic pansy face predominates as well as 
the blotchy type and all have long stems. By growing Pansies 
from seed you will havo the delight of the best and largest flow¬ 
ering varieties. Sow seeds on the surface of a well prepared bed 
and barely cover with fresh fine sand. Keep moist but not soaked. 
A sprinkle of sulphur at time of sowing will be beneficial. Pkt. 35c. 
Pentstemon 
COBAEA—A new selection of Pentstemon which proved outstanding in 
the trials this season. Vigorous graceful spikes standing 2 to 3 
feet high, bearing super trumpet-shaped flowers averaging 2 inches 
in diameter. Plants branch at base producing many spikes With 
a profusion of blossoms open at the same time. Color varies 
slightly with lilac shades predominating. Foliage is dark green 
and glossy. This is a good cutting variety with excellent keep¬ 
ing qualities. Pkt. 25c. 
Petunia 
HYBRIDA GOLDEN ROSE—For mass bedding this plant is one of 
the most desirable both for color and habit of growth. Flowers 
are quite large, abundantly produced, and of a brilliant shade of 
rose with yellow throat. The old blossoms hold their color well, 
presenting an exceptional mass effect. Pkt. 20c, ‘/s oz. 45c. 
Poppy 
SWEET BRIAR—A beautiful deep rose-pink, full double Shirley Poppy 
which very greatly resembles a large double Begonia. It grows an 
average height of 3 feet; is a most attractive fiower and a delight¬ 
ful color. Pkt. 20c. 
ICELAND, SANDFORD’S GIANT — Great improvements have been 
made in Iceland Poppies during the past few years but this one 
excels all others in size of fiower, length of stem and range of 
color. This garden favorite has a long blooming season, the fiow- 
ers possess excellent keeping qualities, and now with the much 
Improved stem, it seems destined to become a commercial cut 
fiower. Sow seeds where the plants are to remain and in drills 
for best results. Pkt. 25c. 
Silene 
SIBERICA — A new dwarf succulent coming to America from the 
Royal Horticultural Society and highly recommended, for rock 
gardens or low borders. The blossoms are brilliant rose in Ver- 
bena-like umbels and are produced in abundance. It grows 1 foot 
high with a lacey decorative foliage. Pkt. 25c.
