America’s Challenge 
to the World 
G IVEN an “even break” in the matter of soil and climate, the brilliant Amen 
ican horticultural scientists ask no favors of anyone. Many plants demand 
for the finest development of their seeds controlled water supply and almost 
eternal, brilliant sunshine. Is it any wonder, therefore, that many of America’s 
greatest horticulturists have flocked to California so that they could prove to the 
world what American scientists can do when the odds are even and all handicaps 
removed? 
All American horticulturists, however, are not equal in skill and knowledge 
and in the California group two names stand above the rest as California’s famous 
Mt. Shasta towers above the lesser hills. Need we tell you who these men are? 
You have already guessed that they are Bodger and Waller-Franklin. 
The seeds of all the varieties in the following list are from the California gar¬ 
dens of Bodger or Waller-Franklin. This is guaranteed and is in addition to the 
usual Elliott guarantee that all seeds will prove satisfactory or be replaced with¬ 
out cost.

Arctotis Grandis 
African Daisy 
A remarkably handsome annual from Southwest 
Africa. It forms much branched bushes 2 to 3 feet 
high; its flowers are large and showy, being pure white 
on the upper surface, the reverse of petals pale lilac-blue. 
There are few annual flowers grown more valuable for 
cut flowers. It is easily grown from seed. The plants may 
be expected to come into bloom early in July and con¬ 
tinue until quite hard frost. It delights in a sunny situa¬ 
tion. The blooms will last a week or ten days in water, 
and if undeveloped buds are cut and placed in a sunny 
window, every one will open and produce as fine flowers 
gh left on the plant. Per pkt., 10c.
