I Knox's New Novelty Flower Seeds 
ASTER—SUPER GIANT EL MONTE 
Deep flowing crimson, composed of abundant quanti¬ 
ties of daintily interlaced plume-like petals, the flowers 
are extremely large and fluffy, borne on heavy non¬ 
lateral, basal branched stems. It is very early blooming, 
coming in before the California Giant varieties, and re¬ 
maining in flower over a long period. Although not wilt 
resistant, we highly recommend El Monte to you. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER 
Wilt Resistant Aurora Golden Sheaf 
It is the deepest yellow Aster yet offered, and the 
only one that is wilt resistant. The flowers are fully 
double with an attractive crest-like center, of good sub¬ 
stance and fine depth of petal. It has all the character¬ 
istics of the Aurora type of Aster so popular now with 
florists. The flowers last well when cut and are excellent 
shippers. Pkt. 10c. 
MARIGOLD DIXIE SUNSHINE 
From the Land of Dixie to the gardens of the world 
comes this most modern, most charming and unique Mari¬ 
gold. Sensationally new and fascinating, the large ball- 
shaped flowers are ingeniously composed of dozens of tiny 
five-petaled' florets, gracefully interlocking, daintily fring¬ 
ed in effect. Brilliant golden yellow, 100 per cent double 
and but faintly scented with the characteristic Marigold 
odor, Dixie Sunshine is a ray of dazzling, pure beauty. 
Whether in the garden, on tall, bushy plants literally 
smothered with blooms, or when arranged for home deco¬ 
ration, the strong stemmed flowers are a constant joy 
from August throughout the season until frost. Pkt. 15c. 
DWARF DOUBLE GEM MIXTURE 
NASTURTIUMS 
Our Gem Mixture, composed of an evenly balanced 
range of cheerful colors on dwarf, compact gem-like 
plants, is the ideal annual for border and edging use. The 
plants are truly dwarf and compact, totally without run¬ 
ners, and hold their compact form even in rainy climates 
where they will be a boon to garden makers. The good 
sized sweet scented double flowers gaily cover the little 
plants in an excellent color range whicn includes shades 
of yellow, orange, scarlet, crimson, salmon, cerise, cream, 
maroon and spotted varieties. While a majority of the 
plants have light foliage there are many dark foliage 
plants as well. Pkt. 25c. 
DWARF DOUBLE GOLDEN GLOBE 
NASTURTIUMS 
Identical in color with the popular Golden Gleam, its 
habit and trueness to type also compare favorably with 
the excellence of Golden Gleam. Uniformly dwarf and 
compact, Golden Globe is the first named color variety in 
the new Gem type of Nasturtium. It is very free flower¬ 
ing, and the well formed double flowers of deep golden 
yellow are delicately sweet scented. Golden Globe will be 
justly popular. Pkt. 25c. 
DOUBLE SWEET SCENTED 
ORANGE GLEAM NASTURTIUMS 
The flowers are very large, uniformly double and pro¬ 
fusely free flowering, while the color is entirely new in 
the Nasturtium family—a deep glowing golden orange, 
with a deeper shading at the center. The plants are semi¬ 
dwarf, bearing the flowers well above the light green 
foliage on long, wiry stems. The sweet scent Character¬ 
istic of all our Gleams is very pronounced, making the 
flowers especially fine for any garden or cutting use. 
Orange Gleam has been proclaimed even finer than Golden 
Gleam—equally double, excellent flower form and plant 
habit, and a deeper, more vibrant color. It is extremely 
showy planted by itself for a solid mass of color, andhcan 
be combined very effectively with deep blues or purple, 
such as Petunia Violacea, Pkt. 25c. 
DOUBLE SCARLET GLEAM 
NASTURTIUM 
The flowers are a fiery orange scarlet, a color com¬ 
parable to the brilliance of Scarlet Sage, or seeing a row 
of the plants one might visualize a showy border of scarlet 
Geraniums. The individual blooms are of an immense size, 
almost three inches across, much larger than any Nas¬ 
turtium ever known. The sweet fragrance is more pro¬ 
nounced, and the double flowers more uniformly well 
formed. The foliage is the same lush green characteristic 
of Golden Gleam, and the contrast of the large, double, 
fiery orange scarlet flowers above their cool, restful green 
leaves attracts and holds the eye at once, while the ease 
with which they cdn\be grown under almost any condi¬ 
tion will make Scarlet Gleam the most popular all-around 
. annual. - ' ! \ , 
The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short runners 
. from well-rounded, free-flowering bushes. Stems are 
long, and bear the flowers well above the foliage of the 
plant. In the garden or for cutting no flower could be 
more lovely. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c. 
DOUBLE GLEAM HYBRIDS 
NASTURTIUM 
The Hybrids are a collection of gorgeously colored, 
large, well-formed flowers of such dazzling beauty that 
fhe mind hesitates to credit the evidence of the eyes. Col¬ 
ors certainly never dreamed of before in a double nas¬ 
turtium abound in profusion—glorious flowers of salmon, 
golden yellow, orange scarlet, cerise, cream yellow, 
orange, crimson, and gold flushed scarlet combine with 
the foliage of fresh green. They thrive under almost any 
cultural conditions, and this factor, combined with the 
brilliancy of their colors, assures Gleam Hybrids of a 
universal popularity. 
The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short runners

and bear the flowers well above the foliage of the plant. 
In the garden or for cutting no flower could be more lovely. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c. 
DOUBLE GOLDEN GLEAM 
V NASTURTIUM 
Golden Gleam is maintaining its position as the best 
known and most popular novelty of the past two seasons, 
becoming even more popular as time goes on. The large 
double sweet-scented golden yellow flowers on long stems 
are borne profusely well above the bright green foliage 
of the neat semi-dwarf plants. Ideal for any garden use. 
Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 25c. 
PETUNIA 
SINGLES FRINGED DAINTY LADY 
The plants are neat, compact, semi-dwarf and free 
flowering, bearing generous quantities of the medium 
sized, delicately fringed light golden yellow flowers 
throughout the summer. Pkt., 25c. ? 
HUNNEMANNIA SUN LITE 
(New) Sunlite is a double flowered poppy which is dif-/ 
ferent. Its extra band of petals is produced on the outside 
instead of the inside of the tulip-shaped flowers, making 
them appear open at all times. The flowers are a bright 
canary yellow on ?a jfc>U$h of light gray green and they like 
a sunny position in a well-drained border. Pkt., 15C.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. Be very sure that your 
name and address are written plainly on each order. We 
frequently have orders where either name is not given or 
address omitted. Also give plainly the R. F. D. number 
and box, or the street address. We acknowledge all or¬ 
ders by a post card if not filled immediately. If such ac¬ 
knowledgment is not received, or if the order does not 
follow at once, write us about it. ; , 
CASH WITH ORDER. The proper way is to send re¬ 
mittance in full to cover order. We send Seed and Poul¬ 
try supplies C. O. D. Plants we never send out C. O. D. 
(There is an extra charge of 12c on C. O. D.’s). 
ALL PRICES are subject to price fluctuation and to 
change without notice. For this reason we ask you to 
write for quantity price.. On vegetable seeds the price is 
usually fixed for the season and rarely is it necessary to 
change from the tabloid, and the prices will be consistent 
With the market. You will be treated fairly. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Postoffice Money 
Order, Express Money Order, or by Check. For amounts 
up to one dollar, clean, unused postage stamps will be 
accepted. Coin should not be sent by mail. Checks on 
local banks may be sent, which will be a great convenience 
to many customers. We do not accept responsibility for 
orders which never reach us. 
SHIPPING. We will use our best judgment as to the 
best way of sending orders when specific directions are 
not given. In large “prepaid” orders it is better to have 
them go by express, if your town is on a railroad—it is 
safer. We prepay express charges on merchandise quoted 
“prepaid.” If special directions in shipping are needed, 
send them explicitly, and where express or freight office 
is different from postoffice, so state in space on our order 
sheet.
