Calendula Chrysantha or Sunshine 
Chrysantha is a new Calendula outstanding among all vari¬ 
eties. Many improvements have been made on Calendulas, but 
no other can compare with this lovely newcomer from far-off 
Australia. The large flowers are exquisite buttercup 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 del¬ 
phinium, in bowls or vases. Fkt., 15c. 
Calendula, Apricot; Queen 
Various breaks in color and form of Calendulas have oc¬ 
curred, and what we offer here is a flat-petalled variety of a 
bright apricot shade, deepening slightly towards the center. 
It is excellent for all purposes. Fkt., 20c. 
Candytuft Miniature Gem 
(Hyacinth Flowered Type) 
The result of years of selection has produced a dainty, mini¬ 
ature hyacinth-flowered annual Candytuft about three and a 
half inches high, each plant producing four to six spikes. A 
perfect miniature gem for the rock garden. Fkt., 15c. 
An nual Canterbury Bells 
Bring- Spring- to the Garden in September 
LIBERTY BELL. An intense violet-blue in color. The type is 
single and grows from two to two and one-half feet high, 
each plant having from six to eight spikes of flowers. It 
flowers in less than six months from the time seed is planted, 
and is a continuous bloomer until frost. It continues to throw 
up new spikes even after seed has been set. It is a good cut 
flower and suitable for pot culture. Fkt., 25c. 
ANGELTJS BELL. A beautiful Art Shade of deep rose, one of 
the most attractive colors that we have ever seen in Canter¬ 
bury Bells. Angelus Bell is a very fine companion to Liberty 
Bell. Fkt., 25c. 
New Chrysanthemums 
MAWI. A perennial Chrysanthemum with rich pink flowers, 
perfectly hardy. An ideal subject for border or rockery, 
height about one foot, flowers two inches across. The beauty 
of this variety is enhanced by the silvery foliage. Fkt., 25c. 
CASCADE. A new race of Perennial Japanese Chrysanthemums, 
bearing large clusters of small single flowers in shades of 
scarlet, bronze, orange, yellow and white. Beautiful when 
grown in masses affording a splendid colorful garden effect, 
long to be remembered. March and April sown seed in the 
open ground will bloom in September and October. An ad¬ 
mirable greenhouse or potted plant, falling as it does in cas¬ 
cades of beautiful flowers. Fkt., 20c. 
Chrysanthemum, Mawi. 
Dimorphotheca Calendulacea. 
Dimorphotheca Calendulacea 
IiEMON QUEEN. This is a dwarf and uniform type, forming 
very compact plants, with flowers of a deep chrome yellow. 
It may be sown outdoors about the second week in April, but 
the best results are obtained by sowing inside in March. 
Plant out in May, giving a situation exposed to full sun if 
possible. Fkt., 20c. 
Gypsophila Pacifica 
A good rose colored perennial baby’s breath, coming into 
flower after the paniculata varieties have passed. Flowers are 
produced the first season from seed and it is perfectly hardy. 
The plant reaches a height of 3% to 4 feet, and is a veritable 
cloud of rose colored flowers, excellent in bouquets. Fkt., 20c. 
Hunnemannia, Sunlite 
A double flowered annual poppy which is different. Its extra 
band of petals is produced on the outside, rather than the in¬ 
side of the tulip shaped flowers, giving the impression of being 
open, even after closed for the night. The flowers are a bright 
canary-yellow, and the foliage of the two foot bush is a light 
gray-green. They like a sunny position in a well drained border 
and flower freely in late summer. Fkt., 15c. 
Larkspur, Giant Imperial Blue Bell 
Blue Bell is a fine medium blue larkspur, deeper than sky 
blue, yet much lighter than lilac, a color up to this time lack¬ 
ing in the Giant Imperial type. The type is decidedly upright, 
with long basal branched flowering spikes, well adapted for 
cutting. Fkt., 15c. 
Lewisia Howelli. (See next page.)
