Gentiana Hascombensis 
New Annual 
This plant received the Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural 
Society of England in 1929, and was also awarded the Cory Cup 
for the best garden-raised hybrid of that year. Started in heat 
in early spring, it should be in bloom from mid-July through to 
September. Plant out in a moist but well-drained place after danger 
of frost is over, either in sun or partial shade. The individual flowers 
of this lovely new Gentian are about iK inches across and are of 
various shades of blue, slightly speckled with white at the base.

Genista (Broom), New Hybrids 
We offer seed of this hardy perennial, well known ordinarily as a 
bright-yellow-flowered, shrubby plant, in a variety of colors—all 
shades of terra-cotta, crimson, orange and orange-scarlet, buff-pink 
and terra-cotta-pink. Patience is necessary with this variety, as 
germination will be slow, but ultimately should produce about 85 
per cent of seedlings; thereafter it is so rampant a grower that the 
plant reaches a height of 4 to 5 feet two years after sowing. Pkt. 50c. 
Larkspurs, Giant 
Imperial Type 
Lupinus Hartwegii 
For the past several 
years our growers have 
been trying to produce 
an Annual Larkspur with 
the habit of the Delphi¬ 
nium, and we are now able to offer eight fine colors in this type. 
All these varieties have the characteristics of the Delphinium, 
that is, the base-branching form and the long flower-stalk, and we 
feel sure that they will in time supersede the old stock-flowered type.
