New Calceolaria “Indian Prince” 
NEW CALCEOLARIA 
“INDIAN PRINCE” 
The petals are long and deeply fringed 
or laciniated. Row after row of these long 
fringed petals overlap each other in a 
rather irregular fashion and build up a 
bloom with the shaggy appearance of 
some Chrysanthemums. These blooms are 
of great grace and beauty, sharply con¬ 
trasting with the rather formal appear¬ 
ance of varieties such as "Orange King,” 
etc. 
The color is a deep orange shading to 
slightly lighter orange in the center of 
the bloom, giving the flower a delightful 
two-tone effect. Well grown, “Orange 
Shaggy” has long stems and forms plants 
about 1 8 inches high.

ANNUAL CANTERBURY BELLS 
Winner of a gold medal and holding 
third place in the list of All-American 
flower seed novelties selected by a com¬ 
mittee of the American Seed Trade Asso¬ 
ciation last fall, a strain of annual Can¬ 
terbury Bells, developed by the Waller- 
Franklin Seed Co., Guadalupe, Cal., prom¬ 
ises to be one of the outstanding offer¬ 
ings of the season. The accompanying il¬ 
lustration gives an idea of the flowers. 
These Annual Canterbury Bells bloom 
in six months from seed. Unlike the bi¬ 
ennial forms, the new type can be flow¬ 
ered at almost any time of the year. The 
selection of the seed has gone on over 
many years. 
Growing two to two and one-half feet 
tall, the plants bear six to eight flower 
spikes each. The colors include dark 
blue, pink, rose and white. Since the 
seeds were first offered to the trade, the 
originators have found that plants of this 
strain are almost continuous bloomers, 
throwing up flower spikes even after they 
have produced a crop of seed. 
“ANGELUS BELL” 
Exceptional deep rose. 
“MISSION BELL” 
Beautiful clear pink. 
“BLUE BELL” 
Cambridge blue. Extra large flowers. 
“LIBERTY BELL” 
Violet blue. 
This is a new color selection from the 
popular Multiflora Nana strain, retaining 
the fine dwarf, free-flowering habit. The 
color is a rich dark scarlet with an orange 
suffusion, a color that will contrast richly 
with the new Golden Tiger of the same 
class. Particularly recommended for 
Mother’s Day blooming.
