ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS—(Continued) 
Dianthus, Pink Heddewegia, 
Biennials 
Mixed—For brilliancy of coloring and mark¬ 
ings, as well as beautiful forms of flowers, this 
family cannot be surpassed. The colors range 
through white, pink and crimson to the very 
deepest maroon; many varieties are finely 
fringed. Hardy biennials, but are better treat¬ 
ed as annuals as they bloom early from seed 
sown in the spring. Fancy mixed. Pkt., 5c; 'A 
oz., 25c. 
Dianthus Nobllls—This is of the Royal pinks, 
covering a range of rose, pink and dark crimson 
shades, with dark eyes, petals double and lacin- 
iated. Very compact bushes, living for two sea¬ 
sons. Flowers exceptionally large. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 20c. 
Annual Daisies 
Brachycome—(Sw'an River Daisy)—T his 
free flowering dwarf-growing annual is covered 
during the summer with a profusion of pretty 
blue and white flowers. Is especially suitable as 
edging for small beds and massing before the 
taller growing daisies. Height 9 inches. Pkt., 
8c; 2 pkts. 15c. 
Golden Orange Daisy, African—This 
flower is from South Africa and is the easiest 
grown of any of the showy border plants. It 
grows to a height of about fifteen inches and 
blooms profusely all summer. In our trial 
ground it was the most attractive flower of any 
shown there; the flowers are about two and one- 
half inches across and the most beautiful golden 
orange color. We recommend this specially for 
borders. Pkt., 5c; !4 oz., 20c. 
Gilia or Flaming Torch 
This hardy biennial sends up a straight flower 
stalk about 3’ft. covered with a'mass of scarlet 
blossoms, lasting from midsummer until frost. 
Makes a wonderful plant for backgrounds or 
where a tall border is needed. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 
15c. 
Escholtzia California Poppy 
Gurney’s Special Single Mixture—This 
mixture includes all the varieties of single sorts

charming annuals in existence. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 
25c. 
Gurney’s Special Double 
Mixture

There is a decided doubling and frilling which 
enhances the beauty of this remarkable new 
double type. The vigorous plants grow 114 to 
2 ft. high. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c. 
Forget-me-not 
Blue—This charming little blue flower suc¬ 
ceeds best in damp, shady situations, but will 
thrive in almost any soil. Victoria Blue which 
we offer is largest flowering, blooms longest of 
any. Pkt., 6c; 14 oz., 25c. 
Chinese Forget-me-not 
An annual recently introduced from China; of 
the easiest culture, forming strong plants 18 to 
24 inches high and producing through the sum¬ 
mer months sprays of intense blue Forget-me- 
not like flowers, delicately sweet scented. A 
splendid addition to the comparatively short 
list of real blue flowers. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 25c. 
Four O’clock, Marvel of Peru 
A handsome, flower, blooming the first season 
from seed. The flowers, which are produced in 
clusters, open in the afternoon and wither the 
next morning. They can be kept like Dahlias. 
Our mixture contains a fine variety of colors. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 45c. 
Gurney’s Giant Scarlet —A mass of red flow¬ 
ers blooming over a long period. A row of these 
in the flower garden produces almost a startling 
effect during the late afternoon and evening. 
Pkt. 5c; 1 oz., 25c. 
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 
The ornamental Grasses serve the double pur¬ 
pose of rendering the mixed flower-bed or border 
attractive during the summer and for the use of 
the spikes or panicles in a dried state in winter 
bouquets. For large beds or groups on lawns 
nothing gives a finer effect, and they are now 
largely used in prominent position in many of 
the finest public parks, etc. The following are 
the most popular varieties. 
Briza Maxima (Quaking Grass)—In great de¬ 
mand for grass bouquets. Pkt., 5c. 
Coix Lachrymae (Job’s Tears)—Broad, 
corn-like leaves and hard, shining pearly seeds 
annual. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c.

White silvery plumes; perennial; blooms the 
second season. Pkt., 10c. 
Zea, Maize Japonica—A dwarf growing, fine 
leaved, white and green striped corn, resembling 
the old ribbon grass, but more beautiful and 
should be used liberally in the flower garden or 
with the ornamental grasses. This is a very at¬ 
tractive plant; grows anywhere. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 
20c. One pkg. of each above Grasses, 20c. 
Annual Baby’s Breath 
Gypsophila, or Baby’s Breath 
Annual—The flowers are small, star-like and 
borne on feathery sprays, which are highly es¬ 
teemed for cut flowers, as they lend a most grace¬ 
ful effect when combined with Sweet Peas or 
Nasturtiums in bouquets. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c. 
Godetia 
These wonderfully beautiful annuals have been 
developed and improved so rapidly within the 
last few years that you would hardly recognize 
them comparing them with those of previous in¬ 
troduction. They are compact, pyramidal, and 
globe shaped plants covered with beautiful 
flowers of varied colors, the flowers measuring 
about two to three inches across. Mixed colors. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 15c.
