ewandRare Flowers 
As you stroll through any attractive garden, 
those flowers of exceptional beauty or those which 
are not commonly seen will always gain most ad¬ 
miration. These garden prizes are not more diffi¬ 
cult to grow than the usual varieties, but are not 
so generally available. We offer in this group some 
select strains of well-known flowers and some 
available this year for the first time. All of these 
will bring much joy to your flower-garden. 
Ageratum, Blue Cap 
This is the best dwarf Ageratum yet offered. 
The flowers are larger than Little Blue Star and 
of a deeper and richer blue color. Its foliage is 
small, the 6-inch plants forming miniature 
domes, which makes it ideal for pot-culture. 
Pkt. 25 cts. 
Arctotis, 
Mixed Hybrids 
Ageratum, Blue Cap 
The most striking of the 
newer introductions from 
South Africa. The showy 
daisy-like flowers, 2 to 3 inches across, come in orange, terra¬ 
cotta, red, yellow, carmine, and coppery rose. It is excellent as a 
border plant, 12 inches in height. Thrives in the driest position in 
the garden. Pkt. 25 cts.

25 cts. 
Arctotis, Mixed Hybrids 
Giant California Sunshine 
Aster, Wilt-resistant Branching 
This new strain will successfully solve your past difficulty in 
growing these beautiful fall flowers. Many have had to abandon 
all attempts to grow Asters because of wilt. This strain, developed 
from plants which through several years of production under 
severe wilt conditions have survived unscathed, makes Aster 
culture possible again. The very large, many-petaled, fully 
double flowers have won many prize awards at flower shows. 
Mixed, pkt. 15 cts. 
Aster, Giant California Sunshine, Mixed 
Plants of this new giant race grow 3 feet high and bear blossoms 
on long, stiff stems admirable for cutting. The half-double flowers, 
4 to 6 inches across, exhibit the grace and beauty of the single 
Aster, enhanced by a golden yellow cushion center of tiny quills, 
contrasting with the outer petals. They come in a glorious range 
of soft colors. Pkt. 25 cts.
