NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1934 
The following list of Flower Seeds is carefully selected to meet the demand of those who desire the finest. 
It contains many of the very new introductions as well as some of the latest and finest developments of the 
older strains of flowers. 
AGERATUM 
Blue Cap. 6 in. The flowers are much larger than 
those of Little Blue Star and of a deeper and richer 
color. It also surpasses Blue Ball in dwarfness and 
compactness of habit and the regular form of its in¬ 
florescence. The foliage is small and the plants have 
the appearance of miniature domes, so that it is 
quite ideal for edgings to flower borders. Pkt. 15c. 
ANNUAL CAMPANULA 
This new Campanula has the same appearance as 
the biennial Single Canterbury Bells but it blooms 
the first year if the seed is sown early. Grows 2 to 
2*4 ft. tall with 6 to 8 flower-spikes to each plant. 
Includes dark blue, light blue, pink, rose, and white. 
Pkt. 25c. 
ANTIRRHINUM MAJESTIC 
(Super Giant Snapdragons) 
Half Dwarf Sorts 
Majestic Antirrhinums are characterized by having 
the largest possible florets closely spaced in large 
spikes on a medium tall plant. The flowers are the 
largest of any type, with far better spacing than that 
found in any other type. They have been proven the 
best for both cut flowers and border us and will, no 
doubt, supersede the other strains when a complete 
color range has been developed. So far, the colors run 
principally to the orange and terra cotta shades, which 
are, of course, favorites in Antirrhinums. 
Eldorado. Deep golden yellow, the richest tint to 
date in this family. Pkt. 15c. 
Golden Dawn. Golden buff overlaid salmon. Pkt. 15c. 
Orange King. Coloring is an exquisite blend of 
shades, rich terra cotta above, the lip golden yellow 
merging to pure deep orange at the base. Pkt. 15c. 
Red Chief. Color is a rich deep scarlet. Pkt. 15c. 
Rose Marie. Light salmon rose with gold center, a 
most charming and delightful shade, probably the 
best of all. Pkt. 15c. 
Sunset. Color delightful combination of bright 
terra cotta above, shading gradually downward into 
a rosy salmon. Pkt. 15c. 
Twilight. Delicate apricot with yellow and salmon 
shading. Pkt. 15c. 
Majestic Mixed. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTERS 
California Giants 
A new family of asters produced by a California 
seed grower and specialist in asters. They combine 
the robust habit of growth and length of stem that 
characterizes the Beauty type and the Crego or Ostrich 
Feather type of flower. A true non-lateral type. 
California Giants Peach Blossom. 
California Giants Light Blue. 
California Giants Light Purple. 
California Giants Deep Rose. 
California Giants White. 
California Giants Dark Purple. 
California Giants Mixed. 
Per pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c 
ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH PAEONY 
FLOWERED ROSEBUD 
The color of this aster is that rare, clear deep rose 
which reminds one of a newly opened rosebud, still 
fresh with dew. The flowers are large, well formed 
and fully double, borne on the long stout stems char¬ 
acteristic of the Paeony Flowered type. Whether in 
the garden or in bouquets. Rosebud is a lovely addition 
to this large flowered strain of Asters. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH PAEONY 
FLOWERED SILVER ROSE 
Delicate lavender pink, full petaled, large, and fully 
double, with just a suggestion of silvery white at the 
tips, this is an aster which is unique in this class. 
Excellent for cut flower use, the plants are fine for 
bedding use as well. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER LILLIPUT FLOWERED 
Comparing in size with the Lilliput Zinnias, these 
baby flowered asters fill a very definite place in the 
border or cutflower garden. The flowers are tiny and 
buttonlike in form, coming in profuse clusters on 
medium length stems, lending themselves very grace¬ 
fully to flower arrangement or for a colorful border 
in the garden. The colors are bright and clear cut, 
some varieties having a deeper zone at the center. 
Dark Blue. Pkt. 15c. 
Fiery Scarlet. Pkt. 15c. 
Rose. Pkt. 15c. 
White. Pkt. 15c. 
Finest Mixed. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 
Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant 
race, and how beautifully it upholds the romantic 
traditions of its namesake, the glamorous city of 
sunshine and flowers. The color is a serenely pure 
shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep, 
and unusually large, yet artistically graceful in the 
feathery effect of the interlacing petals. Loosely 
arranged in tall pewter vase the long stemmed flowers 
lend a feeling of quiet dignity to any decorative 
arrangement. In the annual border or cut flower bed 
in the garden, they stand majestically above their 
fellow asters, and show up to best advantage when 
combined with a planting of the Blue Lace Flower, 
Didiscus. Pkt. 25c. 
ARCTOTIS HYBRIDS 
Another of the lovely flowers which have come to 
us lately from Africa. The hybrids come in a bril¬ 
liant assortment of showy daisy-like flowers predom¬ 
inating in orange and bronzy red shades, but also 
comprising many lovely shades of rose, cream, yellow 
and salmon. In the milder climates they may be 
classed as a perennial, but in the northern latitudes 
they are better treated as an annual. They flower 
within six months from seed, and bloom profusely 
through the hot summer season. Pkt. 15c. 
ARMERIA LAUCHEANA—(Dwarf Thrift) 
Most of us know the Giant Thrift, but we have not 
yet become so familiar with the dwarf strain. 
Laucheana is a very free flowering, dwarf variety, 
with medium sized flower heads of deep rose. They 
combine very nicely with Forget-me-nots in the rock¬ 
ery or dwarf border. Pkt. 10c.
