NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1934 
LUPINS HARWEGI GIANTS MIXED 
Annual Lupins are favorite garden flowers in almost 
all parts of the country, flowering freely without any 
special care. This improved new giant strain is over 
a foot taller than the ordinary strain, reaching a 
height of three or four feet. There are five or six long 
basal branched spikes to each plant, bearing closely 
placed giant blooms, in a color range including dark 
blue, sky blue, rose and white. Pkt. 10c. 
MARIGOLD AFRICAN TALL DOUBLE 
PRINCE OF ORANGE AND 
LEMON QUEEN 
The goal in breeding African Marigolds is to obtain 
a strain coming 100 per cent true to color and type. 
Prince of Orange and Lemon Queen approach this goal 
more nearly than any other strain offered at the pres¬ 
ent time. The flowers are large, almost completely 
round, and very spongy in texture—that is, the petals 
are very firmly and compactly arranged, and do not 
crush. This characteristic adds to the keeping qual¬ 
ities of the flowers, whether cut or on the plant. 
Prince of Orange is a deep rich orange, while Lemon 
Queen is a clear lemon yellow. Each, per pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD, GUINEA GOLD 
Unbounded enthusiasm! These two words express 
only conservatively the reaction of gardeners to this 
magnificent new Marigold which surpasses anything 
ever created in this class. The graceful pyramidal 
plants grow 2 to 2% ft. tall and bear 30 to 40 semj- 
double Carnation-like blooms measuring 2 to 2% in. 
across. The color of the flowers is the most intense 
pure orange-gold imaginable. Blooms continuously 
throughout the summer and fall. Splendid for the gar¬ 
den and for cutting. Pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD DWARF FRENCH DOUBLE 
MONARCH STRAIN 
Dwarf French Marigolds are among the finest bor¬ 
der subjects for home gardens. Monarch strain has 
all the qualities which make up the ideal type, dwarf 
compact growth, very large, tight double flowers, in 
a wide color range which includes combinations of 
orange, bronze, yellow and mahogany. Most of the 
flowers instead of being a solid self color, have two or 
more shades combined in stripes or spotted effects, 
which adds to the interest of the variety. Pkt. 10c. 
MARIGOLD (Tagetes) SIGNATA 
PUMILA (Golden Gem) 
This is the border marigold which has been receiving 
so much publicity in the garden magazines lately, 
and you cannot afford to be without a border of it in 
your garden if you would be up on the latest in garden 
favorites. Dwarf and compact in habit, the plant is 
covered with dozens of small single orange flowers 
throughout the summer. For long blooming period 
and brilliant coloring, Golden Gem has few equals as 
an edging plant. Pkt. 10c. 
NASTURTIUM, GOLDEN GLEAM 
For purity and warmth of color few flowers can 
approach Golden Gleam Nasturtium. In addition to its 
rich color, the beautiful, well-rounded, double blooms 
of Golden Gleam are distinctly and delightfully sweet 
scented. The flowers measure 2% to 3 in. across. They 
are borne profusely on stems 6 in. long, which makes 
them valuable for cutting. The plants are of semi¬ 
running habit, fine for beds and borders. Pkt. 10c. 
SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ISAAC HOUSE 
STRAIN—(Blue Bonnets) 
This is a very greatly improved strain over the 
ordinary scabiosa caucasica. The flowers are surpris¬ 
ingly large, gracefully fringed and ruffled, in shades 
of blue ranging from very dark shades through the 
midblues to lavender. During the hot months of June 
and July, when most flowers look rather wilted from 
the heat, these hybrids are unaffected by the tem¬ 
perature and make a fine showing in the garden, or 
for cut flower use. Pkt. 25c. 
URSINIA (Jewel of the Veldt) 
Anethoides. An attractive annual, native of South 
Africa. It is easily grown from seed sown outdoors 
during the spring. The lovely, daisy-like flowers are 
borne on long wiry stems. They have rich orange- 
yellow ray-petals with a crown of deep purple spotted 
with jet-black. The plants bloom continuously from 
early summer until frost. Has graceful, lace-like, light 
green foliage; 10 in. Pkt. 15c. 
VENIDIUM (Monarch of the Veldt) 
Fastuosum. Large, brilliant orange flowers, 3 in. 
across, with a black-purple zone at the base of the 
ray-petals and a dark center with a gray-green, wool¬ 
like tuft. The plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and bloom 
from midsummer untli frost. The foliage is a soft 
gray and forms a splendid background. Fine for gar¬ 
den display and for growing under glass. It is one 
of the most outstanding new flowers of recent intro¬ 
duction. Pkt. 15c. 
VERBENA 
Beauty of Oxford Hybrids. Many shades ranging 
from rose-pink to rose-red. Large blooms in elegant 
round trusses. Exceedingly showy. Pkt. 15c. 
VERBENA HYBRIDA COMPACTA TYPE 
(Edging Verbenas) 
These are distinct from all other types of Verbena, 
very compact, dwarf, and free flowering. The color 
range is very wide, in bright shades. They are excel¬ 
lent for the annual rock garden in a sunny position, 
for borders or edgings, or for window boxes or pots. 
Mixed, pkt. 10c 
VERBENA ROYAL BOUQUET MIXED 
As the name suggests, this type is excellent for 
cutting. The plants are definitely upright in habit, 
several 10 to 12-inch stalks to a plant, each bearing 
full clusters of the large starry eyed flowers at the 
tip. They are fine for pot culture, as well as cutting. 
The colors comprise a full range of the brighter 
shades. Pkt. 10c. 
VIRGINIAN STOCK—(French 
Forget-me-not) 
French Forget-me-nots are fast growing, early 
flowering little plants for spring use in the annual 
rock garden or as an edging plant. They are in flower 
with such early blossoming varieties as alyssum, 
pansies, violas, and linarias. As they come before 
the nemesias, they could very well be used in the space 
to be filled later on by them. They are charming 
when grown either in mixture or in the separate 
colors of rose, crimson, white and mixed which are 
offered. Each, per pkt. 10c. 
ZINNIA LILLIPUT TOM THUMB 
MIXTURE 
Tom Thumb is without exception the very dwarfest 
zinnia known. The plants are rounded and compact, 
4 to 6 inches high, literally covered wtih well formed 
flowers of the lilliput type. The color mixture includes 
red, orange, yellow, pink, rose and other pastel shades. 
It is a fine border plant, especially for the hot dry 
sections of the country, and is the best zinnia to use 
in pots or window boxes. Pkt. 10c.
