A lovely new type with extremely large 
beautifully frilled and fluted flowers in 
glittering coppery gold and pinkish

form a compact mass of flowers. They 
are very effective when used as a border

succeed everywhere and bloom from 
early summer until frost.

Giant Dahlias from Seed 
New Hornsveld Hybrids 
In our many trials of Dahlias we have 
found one here that is a perfect marvel 
of beauty in size and coloring. Seed 
planted in April and transplanted to our 
Experimental Gardens in June began 
blooming in August, producing enormous 
sized double and semi-double blooms in 
many rich shades and colors. It comes 
true from seed and we urge our custom¬ 
ers to grow it this year. The photo of a 
plant shown above does not do justice to 
this Beautiful Dahlia; notice the large 
double blooms, some measuring over 7 
inches across, and many buds yet to 
open. It should be seen to be appreciated. 
It is a healthy and strong grower and 
bloomer from seed, and we feel sure will 
delight all who love fine Dahlias.

Baby Zinnia —Red Riding Hood 
A lovely new type of Zinnia for edging, 
bedding or pots. The plants grow only 
about 10 inches high and are covered 
with globular perfect shaped miniature 
double blooms less than 1 inch in di¬ 
ameter, of a brilliant fiery scarlet color. 
Wonderfully attractive and very easy to 
grow from seed. Pkt., 1 O*; 3 pkt*., 25t< 
Giant Double Shasta Daisy 
This new’ Giant Double Shasta Daisy is 
a perennial and a great addition to our 
cut flow’er varieties. The blooms are 
large, about 5 inches across; white, with 
fringe-like petals and a golden yellow 
center; the stems are long and wiry, each 
plant producing several of the long stems 
and they flower for about 3 months. The 
flowers look very much like Giant Asters 
i see photo above) and is one of our out¬ 
standing novelties.

Queen Ann’s Lace FlOWer 
This attractive novelty produces white 
blooms in umbels resembling Carrot but 
not so coarse, giving a dainty lacy ef¬ 
fect. Plants grow 2 to 2V4 feet tall, 
leaves narrow and inconspicuous, except 
at the base where they are wider and 
round. This is a very fine flower filler 
and easily grown from seed.

New Grain for Poultry 
Called PROSO 
Our customers who keep some poultry may be inter 
ested to know about a New Poultry Grain w r e 
been testing in our Experimental Gardens. It is claimed 
that it originated in Russia and is called PROSO. It 
proves to be an enormous yielder and matures a crop in 
a very short time; our plantings were made in July and 
were ready to harvest in less than 60 days. It grows more 
rapidly and matures quicker than other grains; reaches 
a height of 3 to 4 feet, stools and branches maxing 12 
to 20 heads instead of one, and that is why it yields 
such enormous crops from very small plots of ground. 
It is claimed for feeding poultry Proso is equal to, or 
better than Wheat; it makes a splendid mash when ground 
alone, and it may be fed in bundles, as the kernels are readily 
scratched out of the heads, or it may be fed as clean grain; 
and it is claimed fowls leave other grains once they have 
tasted Proso. 
It may be planted any time from Corn planting time up to 
July 15th, and it will grow on high, dry soil that is not suit¬ 
able for other grains. It is especially valuable as a summer 
“catch crop” — something that may be planted on 
land which has had an early crop removed, or ground 
that has been drowned out and not in shape to work 
until late in the season. We offer a limited quantity of 
seed to all those wishing to try this New Poultry Grain, 
and even if you have only a limited space you can 
grow an enormous crop. From a packet or ounce of 
seed you can test it out as a poultry feed and keep 
plenty to plant another year. Pkt., iO<; oz., 30*. 
The illustration 
shows 21 Proso grain 
heads, one of which 
had 1185 grains. This 
accounts for its 
enormous yielding 
qualities. 
Lillipilt — The Baby Asters 
These Baby Asters are very attractive, 
and were, greatly admired in our Experi¬ 
mental Gardens the past year. Plants 
grow from 6 to 10 inches tall and are 
covered with flowers, each plant making 
a bouquet of itself. The colors are bright 
and clear, some having a deeper zone at 
the center of bloom, while others come 
in different shades, which will make a 
colorful border for the garden, and prove 
unusually attractive.
