NASTURTIUM, GLEAM HYBRIDS. Seedlings 
from the popular Golden Gleam with the 
same growing habit and the same profusion 
of bright double flowers. In colors never 
dreamed of before in double nasturtiums— 
salmon, golden yellow, orange scarlet, cerise, 
creamy yellow, orange, crimson, and gold 
flushed scarlet. 
The release of these hybrids, together with 
the Scarlet Gleam (below) form one of the 
most looked for announcements in the seed 
world. Packet of ten seeds, available Sep¬ 
tember 1. 25c. 
NASTURTIUM, SCARLET GLEAM. First of 
the Gleam hybrid nasturtiums to be isolated 
in separate colors—and a variety that is sure 
to be most popular. Immense blooms, col¬ 
ored fiery orange-scarlet, and considered 
even more intensely dazzling than the showy 
Golden Gleam. Packet of ten seeds, avail¬ 
able September 1. 35c. 
RANUNCULUS. A bright showy flower usually 
grown from tubers, but actually more satis¬ 
factory from seed, as the latter are disease 
resistant. 
Blooms in showiest yellow, red, scarlet, 
orange, white, and other autumn colors, in 
varying degrees of doubleness. 
We have been fortunate enough to secure 
a supply from the famous Armacost and 
Royston Tecolote Giant Strain, mixed colors. 
Easily raised from seed sown from Au¬ 
gust to November, depending on when the 
cool weather starts. Can be grown on like 
winter flowering stocks and set out in au¬ 
tumn. One packet does the work of dozens 
of tubers, and for only 50c pkt. 
SCABIOSA CAUCASICA. P. (Blue Bonnet). 
New Isaac House Strain. The finest scabi- 
osa for Pacific Coast gardens. Huge flowers, 
fringed and ruffled, in shades from lavender 
to dark blue. 25c pkt. 
SNAPDRAGONS — Lammerts Rust Proof 
Strain (Antirrhinum ). In offering the new 
rust-proof snapdragons, we make no claim 
that we are able to duplicate, as yet, the full 
long spikes of the finest non-resistant varie¬ 
ties now in commerce—but we feel that the 
strain we offer is the finest to be had, and 
we know that the general garden planting 
from these seeds will be much more satisfac¬ 
tory than plantings from non-resistant seeds. 
Being Research Associate in Genetics at 
the University of California, Dr. W. E. Lam¬ 
merts has combined a full academic back¬ 
ground with the practical viewpoint and 
aims of a seedsman to develop the strain 
which we offer. Every seed comes from a par¬ 
ent which has been tested by artificial inoc¬ 
ulation, and as a result, we can guarantee a 
minimum of 75% rust proof plants. We have 
reason to believe that seeds of this strain will 
produce a higher percentage of rust resistant 
plants than those of any other strain. 
We offer this remarkable development in
