SALBACH SELECTED SEED SPECIALTIES 
Fertilizer 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 re¬ 
quired 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. 
NOTE—Seeds are annuals unless marked otherwise. P. means perennial. All seeds from 
new crop. Delivery on or before July 15th, except where specified otherwise. 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine). P. Waller-Frank¬ 
lin strain. Simply immense blooms with ex¬ 
tra long spurs. A magnificent strain, de¬ 
scribed by Sydney B. Mitchell in “From a 
Sunset Garden” as the finest American 
strain, equal to that of any foreign firm. 
Long Spurred Blue Shades Superb (Wal¬ 
ler-Franklin). Color a clear beautiful blue. 
25c pkt. 
Long Spurred, Waller-Franklin Hybrids, 
mixed—in orange, scarlet, yellow, pink, rose, 
and white shades. 25c pkt. 
BROOM. P. For those Westerners who wish 
colorful and unusual shrubs, we have secured 
a limited supply of hybrid broom seeds. 
These will produce plants in full color as¬ 
sortment, variegated, in brilliant shades of 
red, pink, gold, apricot, brown, rose, orange, 
and other colors. The shrubs are literally 
covered with myriads of the bright little pea¬ 
shaped flowers, which are in bloom for a 
long period of the year. Being offered for 
the first time in America. Drought resistant. 
Stock limited. $1.00 pkt. 
BROOM (Cytisis). P. Pure yellow and red- 
yellow variegated selections. 25c pkt. 
CALENDULA “SUNSHINE” OR CIIRYSAN- 
THA (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 
deep golden yellow, free flowering, and ex¬ 
cellent for cutting. Flowers throughout the 
year if blooms kept cut. 25c pkt. 
DELPHINIUM (Reinelt-Vetterle Strain). P. 
We again offer exclusively, Frank Reinelt’s 
hand-hybridized delphinium strain — than 
which no finer can be had. 
Those who have seen these remarkable, 
tall, full-blooming specimens in our own and 
Sydney B. Mitchell’s garden will agree that 
we are in no way overestimating the quality 
of Reinelt delphinium seed, despite our most 
lavish praise. 
Plant as early as possible to assure a com¬ 
plete flowering the first blooming season, 
although planting even as late as November 
will give a good percentage of bloom the first 
season. 
Pastel Shades Mixture. In beautiful shades 
of lavender pink. 50c pkt. 
Blue Shades Mixture. Deep blue and vio¬ 
let colors. 50c pkt. 
Lavender Shades Mixture. Delicate colors. 
50c pkt.

that are so effective and popular. Supply 
limited. 50c pkt. 
Balanced Assortment. Including seeds 
from all four of the mixtures listed above. 
50c. 
DELPHINIUM, Dwarf or Chinensis. One of 
the most effective plants possible for small 
borders, and for massing. Literally covered 
with blooms. A perennial which blooms the 
first year. “Something different” which 
will add a distinctive touch to your garden. 
Delivery August 15.
