1327 Fairy Bouquet

tions Committee. Fairy Bouquet is a little beauty. 
The plants are about 8 inches high covered with the pretty airy flowers, like minia¬ 
ture snapdragons, in a great mixture of shades. Blooms quickly from seed and is ideal 
as a filler for bouquets or for bedding or potting. Pkt. !35c. 
Nasturtium 
See Flowers in Color on Page 21. 
1438 Last year Gold- 
Oolden O I earn en Cleam was 
adjudged one of the outstanding flower novelties 
ever introduced, and it has certainly lived up to its 
established reputation. The immense golden yellow 
double flowers are so fragrant and make such wonder¬ 
ful bouquets, that every garden should contain some 
plants. Easy to grow as you would tend ordinary 
Nasturtiums, be careful only to not over water. It 
seems they bloom best if soil is not too rich and when 
not over watered. Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; Oz. 60c.

the great size and texture of the flowers. Pkt. 25c;

Strains 
See Natural Color on Page Sl« 
The advances in Petunias are so abundant and so 
marked that it is very bard to select the best or to 
limit the list for special mention to at all reasonable 
numbers. Page 20 of this catalog is packed full of 
valuable varieties and many are shown in color on 
page 21. Here we can just mention a few of the leaders 
for 1934. 
1*^2 Nana Compacta Pink Gem 
The first real dwarf or mountain Petunia. Plants only 
a few inches high and the illustration shows how free 
flowering this strain is. The flowers are rich deep pink, 
varying a little in shade. In as much as Pink Gem was 
awarded the gold medal this year by the All American 
Selections Committee, and everybody wants to try 
it, there is probably not enough seed available to go 
around. Pkt. 20c; iV oz. 60c. 
1579 Super Double Fringed nlte tht 
strain is as near 100% perfect as has yet been attained. 
It produces a very large number though not 100% of 
great big doubled and fringed flowers. Their will also be 
a few semi-double and singles. On page 21 in color is a 
sample of the kind of blooms you may expect, and 
certainly that is beautiful. The seed is worth many 
times its weight in gold. Pkt. OOc; 2 pkts. for ^1.00. 
Single Dwarf Fringed 
Distinct from the other fringed and ruffled Petunias, 
especially in the habit of growth. This type grows 
bushy, compact plants only about 12 to 15 inches tall, 
and they are prolific of medium sized prettily fringed 
flowers. The dwarf compact growth makes them 
obviously better adapted for beds or borders, or as 
pot plants.

With Zinnias also the list of outstanding varieties 
is so large that it is next to impossible to select only 
3 or 4 for special mention. However, in going over 
our trials last Summer we were again struck with the 
beauty of the following strains as well as the uniformity 
of color of the varieties of Dahlia and California Giant 
Types. 
2292 Trrtwn O’Gold Mixture. You will ap- 
~rOWn preciate the beauty of these 
blooms in your cut flower bouquets. The colors are 
soft shades of rose, old rose, pink, cream and yellow 
with golden yellow at the base of each petal. Pkt. 15c;

Quality of Zinnias 
Our Zinnia stocks are all procured from what we 
consider the most reliable source in the world. We 
are paying more for our separate colors and mixtures 
of all types than it is possible to buy them for. No 
strains are as yet perfect. Yet, we feel that the few 
extra dollars expended are being repaid to us in better 
strains to offer our customers. We can confidently 
recommend our Zinnias to the most critical growers, 
whether planted for profit or pleasure.
