BETTER CROPS FROM HARVEY S SEEDS

ALL AMERICAN FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES 
A Few of the Better Recent Introductions in Flowers 
ASTER—Super Giant Los Angeles. Aster Los 
Angeles is the first 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 a 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, Didicus. Pkt. 25c, *4 oz. $2.50. 
ASTER—Lilliput Flowered. Mixed colors. Com¬ 
paring 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 
gracefully 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. Pkt. 10c, *4 oz. 90c. 
ANNUAL CANTERBURY BELLS. Few flowers are 
more popular in the spring garden than Canterbury 
Bells, and we have always wished we might have 
them over a longer season. This is now possible, 
and without waiting a whole year for the first 
flowers from seed. The new Annual Canterbury 
Bells make a plant that is loaded with flowers less 
than five months after the seed is sown, and by 
making successive plantings all through the early 
spring we can have these lovely flowers all through 
the summer and early fall. The colors are the 
same as in the perennial type, including the va¬ 
rious shades of blue, pink, rose and white. Pkt. 
25c, 1/4 oz. $1.50. 
CALENDULA—Chrysantha or Sunshine. Chrysantha 
is a new Calendula which is outstanding among 
all varieties known up to the present time. Many 
improvements have been made on Calendulas, but 
no other origination can begin to compare with 
this lovely new-comer from far-off Australia. The 
large flowers are an exquisite shade of clear butter¬ 
cup yellow, with long loosely arranged petals, 
which droop to give the rounded appearance found 
in our favorite Chrysanthemums. Besides adding 
a bright golden splash of color to the garden, 
Chrysantha is a fine cutting variety, with long 
stiff stems, well adapted to combine with other 
flowers, such as blue delphinium, in bowls or vases. 
Pkt. 25c, oz. $2.00. 
CALENDULA —Yellow Radio. Deep orange, quilled 
petals that make a very striking appearance. 
Pkt. 15c, 1/2 oz. 75c, oz. $1.40. 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA—Double Salmon Beauty. Beau¬ 
tiful double salmon flowers. Pkt. 20c; y 2 oz. $2.15, 
oz. $4.00. 
LARKSPUR—Carmine King. Deep carmine rose. 
Pkt. 15c, 1/2 oz. $1.25, oz. $2.25. 
LARKSPUR—Miss California. Deep pink on sal¬ 
mon. Pkt. 15c, 1/2 oz. $1.25, oz. $2.25. 
MARIGOLD—(Tagetes) Signata Pumila (Golden 
Gem). This is the border marigold which has been 
receiving so much publicity in the garden maga¬ 
zines 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 sum¬ 
mer. For long blooming period and brilliant col¬ 
oring, Golden Gem has few equals as an edging 
plant. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.25. 
MARIGOLD—Guinea Gold. Guinea Gold!—bring¬ 
ing thoughts of Spanish doubloons and buried 
riches, a treasure chest for your garden!—and 
what a prize we have in this Marigold. Brighter 
than any treasure the pirates ever dreamed of, 
the masses of lovely blossoms cascade down the 
sides of the plant in a pyramid of flowing gold. 
Arranged in a jet black or cobalt blue bowl, 
Guinea Gold can scarcely be surpassed for deco¬ 
rative effect in any part of the house, especially 
as the characteristic marigold odor has almost 
entirely disappeared. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.85. 
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 present 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 
qualities 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. Pkt. 
20c, y 2 oz. $1.65, oz. $3.00. 
NASTURTIUM—Golden Gleam. The romance of 
old Mexico enters our gardens when we have 
Golden Gleam Nasturtiums in them. The molten 
gold of the Mexican sunshine, the cool green ver¬ 
dure of Mexican hillsides or 11 sierras, ’ ’ the 
sweetly wafted perfume of a tropical night—all 
are with us when we have a border or bed of 
Golden Gleam. Even the spirit of “manana” 
may come with the plants—for tomorrow will do 
very well for that extra work usually necessary 
today with other plants. They must not be over¬ 
fed, nor over watered, or they will go to too much 
growth and not enough flowers. Easy to grow, 
sure of fine results, beautiful flowers, masses of 
color all season, delightful perfume—that is 
Golden Gleam. Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c. See color illus¬ 
trations page 24. 
PETUNIA—Pink Gem. Half hardy annual of a 
straggling habit, growing about 8 to 15 inches high. 
Commence to flower early and continue a sheet 
of bloom until hard frosts. Unexcelled for pots, 
window boxes and beds. Pkt. 25c. 
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 with 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, y 4 oz. 90c.
