HOODACRES ON THE HIGHWAY 
REX OREGONUS 
This is of the original Wrexham form developed at 
Hoodacres upon our superior root system and strong con- 
stitutioned stock. Its unusual stature and generous pro¬ 
portions throughout is attested by the reproduction (page 
3) but only the reality can convey its impressiveness. 
Spikes are eight inches in diameter at the base and nearly 
three feet in length. Florets are semi-double, azure and 
lilac mauve with dark center. Only seeds this season. 
$5.00 Pkt. 
CHARLESTA 
The New Fragrant Plant Marvel 
Even though plant surprises are quite frequent at Hood¬ 
acres, the wonder of this one does not cease. It combines 
both beauty and delightful fragrance on a plant with 
broad massive spikes and a remarkable constitution. It 
builds into large symmetrical plants, seven feet tall and 
loaded with semi-double flowers of a medium blue with 
mauve, the blue predominating. In the beginning of our 
work some of the fragrance in Delphinium plants was 
inclined to be fleeting but this carries over from year to 
year. Seeds and plants next year. 
The New Class , CONSPICUA 
Extraordinary centers, surprising contrasts. After some 
years of effort in evolving unusual size “bees” we have 
now reached the point where we can share the seeds with 
our customers. Some of these are deep blue or purple 
carrying extra large white centers; others are medium 
shades with immense jet black and all are beautiful. In 
the illustration, page 37, the flower at the left is also 
fragrant. Seeds only, $3.00 pkt. 
Explicit planting instructions sent with each seed order. 
Unless otherwise demanded, all seed orders received 
after June 1st will be filled from the new crop, ready 
about August 1st. August planting will bloom the follow¬ 
ing summer. 
Watch for fragrance in Hoodacres seedlings. There are 
frequent outcroppings here.
