6 Flower Seeds 
HOSEA WATERER, Philadelphia 
RECENT NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES for 1934 
Ageratum, Blue Cap 
Ageratum, Blue Cap 
Undoubtedly the best dwarf Ageratum yet offered. The flowers are much larger 
than those of Little Blue Star and of a deeper and richer color. Unsurpassed in 
dwarfness and compactness of habit and the regular form of its inflorescence. The 
foliage is small and the plants have the appearance of miniature domes, so that it is 
quite ideal for edgings to flower-borders. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
Antirrhinum, Giant Improved Early»Flowering 
This strain is a great improvement over the old giant-flowering type as it comes 
into full bloom one month earlier and for that reason appears to be more rust-resistant 
than any other Antirrhinum. There are also more flowers in full bloom at one time 
on a spike. It is uniform in habit, growing about feet high, and the colors are 
fixed and true. We believe these qualifications make this the best Antirrhinum strain 
for all-round garden culture.

Aquilegia, Long»Spurred Hybrids 
The hardy Aquilegias are among the earliest flowering perennials. They are easily 
grown, thriving in comparatively poor soil and in partial shade, and are general favorites 
for border planting. These long-spurred types give elegant flowers. 
Mrs. Scott Elliott’s Strain. One of the finest strains ever raised. The blooms are 
large, with very long spurs, and come in a fascinating range of colors. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
large pkt. 75 cts. 
Dobbie’s Imperial Hybrids. This strain is the result of many years of careful selec¬ 
tion and has very long spurs, fine form, and a magnificent range of color. Pkt. 
25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Aster, Super>Giant Los Angeles 
The first variety of this giant race. Its color is a serenely pure shell-pink, and its 
flowers, which are full-petaled, deep, and unusually large, yet are artistically graceful 
in the feathery effect of the interlacing petals. Loosely arranged in a tall pewter vase, 
the long-stemmed flowers lend a feeling of quiet dignity to any decorative arrangement. 
In the annual border or cut-flower bed in the garden, they stand majestically above 
their fellow Asters, and show up to best advantage when combined with a planting of 
the blue lace flower or Didiscus. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Aster, Super-Giant Los Angeles 
Aster, Improved California Giant Sunshine, Mixed 
A supremely beautiful new race of Asters. Direct cross between California Giants and the dwarf Sunshine type. The plants grow 
3 feet high and bear blooms 5 to 6 inches across, on long, stiff stems. In color the lovely dual-tone effect beggars description. The 
disc is a lovely light yellow and the encircling guard petals are varying shades of pink, rose, blue, and lavender. Pkt. 25 cts.; large 
pkt. 75 cts. 
Annual 
Canterbury 
Bells 
Carnation, Chabaud’s Enfant de Nice 
This is the result of a cross between Chabaud’s Giant Improved and Perpetual. The plants are of robust, 
upright habit, with long, strong stems, bearing flowers 2 }/% to 3 inches in diameter. This strain is magnificent 
and is, so far, the last word in annual Carnations. The color comes about 75 per cent true 
from seed, and about 90 per cent of the plants come double. 
New Annual Canterbury Bells 
Red Rose Salmon White Finest Mixed 
Each, pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
COLLECTION: One pkt. each of above 4 colors, 75 cts. 
Few flowers are more popular in the spring garden than Canterbury Bells, and we have 
always wished we might have them over a longer season. This is now possible, and without 
waiting a whole year for the first flowers from seed. The new Annual Canterbury Bells make 
a plant that is loaded with flowers less than 5 months after the seed is sown, and by making 
successive plantings all through the early spring we can have these lovely flowers all through 
the summer and early fall. The colors are the same as in the perennial type, including the 
various shades of blue, pink, rose, and white. 
Angelus Bell. A beautiful art shade of deep rose—one of the most attractive colors that 
we have ever seen in Canterbury Bells. 
Liberty Bell. Intense violet-blue. 
Finest Mixed. Including shades of blue, pink, rose, and white. 
Each, pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts.
