SALBACH SELECTED SEED SPECIALTIES 
I ertilizer will help, and so will regular cultivation—but dollar on dollar spent for 
plant food, and hour on hour of garden work will not produce prize winners if the 
plants come from inferior seed strains. That is why we are so confident that no real 
gardener will begrudge the few extra cents required to secure the seeds of the finest 
rare strains—and that is why we have purchased seeds that actually cost us from two 
to ten times as much as the ordinary strains.

GENERAL LIST OF SEED SPECIALTIES 
NOTE: Seeds are annual unless marked otherwise. P. equals perennial. 
AQCILEGIA (Columbine). P. Waller-Frank¬ 
lin strain. Simply immense blooms with 
extra long spurs. A magnificent strain, de¬ 
scribed by Sydney B. Mitchell in “From A

strain, equal to that of any foreign firm.

ALSTROMERIA AURANTIACA (Peruvian 
Lily). P. Tall husky plants with bright 
orange flowers spotted rich red on tall 
stems. Free bloomer, excellent for cutting, 
and will grow in part shade. Best grown 
from seed, as the roots resent moving. 
. 25c pkt. 
BROOM (Cytisus). A beautiful flowering 
shrub, literally covered with bright pea¬ 
shaped flowers at blooming time, and a 
most attractive bush during the remainder 
of the year. We offer seeds of the attractive 
yellow and mahogany-red variety, gathered 
from Sydney B. Mitchell’s own garden 
.25c pkt.

iferous from June to late autumn. In 
maroon, brown, dark red, and yellow varie¬ 
ties. The finest mixture we know of. 15c pkt. 
CALENDULA, “SUNSHINE” or “CHRYS- 
ANTHA” (Chrysanthemum flowered). A new 
departure that you would hardly recognize 
as a calendula. Awarded seedmen’s “All- 
American” as the finest seed novelty for 
the season of 1934. The petals are long and 
twisted inward in such a manner that the 
blooms resemble chrysanthemums. Color 
a light golden yellow, free flowering, and 
excellent for cutting. Flowers throughout 
the year if blooms kept cut.35c pkt. 
CATANANCHE COERULEA (Cupid’s Dart) 
A splendid drought resisting annual of

silvery foliage. Height one foot, with 
flowers two inches across. We have im¬ 
ported this fine novelty direct from Eng¬ 
land for you.35c pkt. 
DAHLIA SEED—Dahlias, grown from seed, 
make ideal “perennial annuals,” as they 
bloom from seed the first year, and repro¬ 
duce themselves from bulbs thereafter. 
The very finest listings in UNWIN 
DWARF, SALBACH SINGLE, SALBACH 
POMPON, and SALBACH LARGE FLOW¬ 
ERING DAHLIAS. See pages 24-25. 
DELPHINUM —REINELT STRAIN. It is 
with the greatest of pleasure that we an¬ 
nounce the exclusive handling of Frank 
Reinelt’s superb delphinum strain. We 
have ourselves grown plants from many 
of the finest strains, and have seen fine 
stands in the fields of other growers, but 
can, nevertheless, give full assurance that 
there is no finer strain of delphinum seed 
to be had. 
Visitors who have seen them in Sydney 
B. Mitchell’s and our own garden will 
assure you that we are in no way over¬ 
estimating the quality of Reinelt del- 
phenium seed. The seeds you will receive
