MICHELL’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS 11 
PRIMULA MALACOIDES 
Dawkin’s Carmine Pink (1934 Novelty) 
Color a rich glowing carmine pink, quite distinct from any 
shade hitherto produced in Primula Malacoides; flowers large, 
on wiry stems of upright and graceful habit. The constitution of 
the plant is very strong; without doubt the best of all existing 
varieties. Original pkt., 75c. 
RUDBECKIA, KELVEDON STAR 
(Novelty) 
A new strain which we recommend with confidence; a really 
good annual and a perfect long stemmed flower for cutting; very 
floriferous and sturdy habit of growth; flowers vary in form and 
coloring, but all have dark brown central discs, surrounded by 
mahogany zones on petals of orange. Seed started inside in March 
will commence to bloom outdoors in June; height, 3 feet. Original 
pkt., 40c. 
Salvia, Fire King 
SALVIA, DWARF FIRE KING 
(Michell’s Novelty) 
A new extra early variety, flowering about four weeks earlier 
than other existing types; plants are of very compact habit; 
exceedingly dwarf and completely covered with medium sized, 
brilliant scarlet flowers. Pkt., 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
SALVIA, BLUE BEDDER 
(Novelty) 
A new variety of Farinacea; very compact in form, of a deep 
blue shade and flowering very profusely. A perennial flowering 
from seed the first year. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per large pkt. 
EARLY DWARF SPENCER SWEET PEA 
“BO-PEEP” 
(1934 Novelty) 
Bo-Peep is a dwarf erect early flowering Spencer Sweet Pea 
(not a Cupid) and on this account it makes a splendid pot plant, 
also an excellent plant for bedding or border work. The color is 
a salmon pink, very similar to the early variety Springsong and with 
flowers just as large; the stems run from 4 to 6 inches and the 
plants range from 12 to 24 inches in diameter. It is a profuse 
bloomer and its rich salmon pink color will lend itself admirably 
for color schemes in the garden, as it comes practically 100% true. 
Pkt., 25c.; 75c. per Yz oz.; oz., $1.25. 
Verbena, Beauty of Oxford Hybrids 
VERBENA 
BEAUTY OF OXFORD HYBRIDS 
(Novelty) 
This is a splendid giant hybrid, resulting from a cross between 
Luminosa and Beauty of Oxford; the color shades from clear 
rose pink to red, making this the brightest rose Verbena ever 
produced from seed; the individual florets measure over one inch 
in diameter. Originator’s stock seed. Pkt., 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
VERBENA GRANDIFLORA 
LAVENDER GLORY (Novelty) 
We feel that this noyelty is undoubtedly the most glorious 
color in Verbenas, a true lavender with a medium size creamy 
white eye. The individual floret will cover a fifty cent piece. It is 
also distinctly and sweetly fragrant. Pkt., 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
ZINNIA, LILLIPUT, VALENCIA
