NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
The following list of Flower Seeds is carefully selected to meet the demand of those who desire the finest. 
It contains many of the very new introductions as well as some of the latest and finest developments of the 
older strains of flowers. 
AGERATUM 
Blue Cap. 6 in. The flowers are much larger than 
those of Little Blue Star and of a deeper and richer 
color. It also surpasses Blue Ball in dwarfness and 
compactness of habit and the regular form of its in¬ 
florescence. 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. 15c. 
Little Silver Star. Is distinguished for its compact, 
close habit. The even, round, cushion-shaped plants 
which are only 4 to 5 inches high, measure from 8 to 
10 inches across. When flowering they are so thickly 
covered with silver grey star-like flowers that the 
small light green leaves are practically hidden. The 
seedlings come as true as can be expected from 
Ageratum. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT GOLDEN 
SHEAF (Bodger) (Grower’s Description) 
We take pleasure in introducing Golden Sheaf, the 
deepest yellow aster yet offered, and the only one that 
is wilt resistant. The flowers are fully double, with 
an attractive crest-like center, of good substance and 
fine depth of petal. It has all the characteristics of 
the Aurora type of aster so popular now with florists. 
The flowers last well when cut, and are excellent 
shippers. Pkt. 25c. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT BLUE 
FLAME (Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
In line with the trend of the times, we present 
Blue Flame, one of our contributions to the code for 
better flowers. The color is bright navy blue, distinct 
from any other dark blue or purple aster now offered, 
of the Giant Branching Crego class, with large Crego 
type flowers, fully double, on branching plants, suitable 
for cutting or garden use. The strain is very robust 
and wilt resistant. Pkt. 25c. 
ASTER PAEONY-FLOWERED PURPLE 
ROBE (Howard-Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
Each season sees additions to this superb florist type 
of aster. Last year we introduced Rosebud and Silvery 
Rose, and now we are following these 
with Purple Robe, the first purple in 
the Paeony-flowered type. The flowers 
are large, well formed, fully double, of 
a very deep shade of purple blue. We 
recommend Purple Robe as a new cut 
flower for florists. Pkt. 25c. 
ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH 
PAEONY FLOWERED 
ROSEBUD 
The color of this aster is that rare, 
clear deep rose which reminds one of a 
newly opened rosebud, still fresh with 
dew. The flowers are large, well formed 
and fully double, borne on the long 
stout stems characteristic of the Paeony 
Flowered type. Whether in the garden 
or in bouquets. Rosebud is a lovely addi¬ 
tion to this large flowered strain of 
Asters. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT 
GIANT SALMON QUEEN 
(Bodger) (Grower’s Description) 
Few people realize that there is an 
aster of the fascinating shade of 
salmon found in Salmon Queen. It is 
a clear, pure salmon pink, blending to 
a rich gold salmon at the center. The 
flowers, large and well formed, are of 
the feathery Comet type, on long 
stemmed early flowering upright plants. 
A lovely aster that should be in every 
garden. And remember, it is wilt re¬ 
sistant. Pkt. 25c. 
ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH PAEONY 
FLOWERED SILVER ROSE 
Delicate lavender pink, full petaled, large, and fully 
double, with just a suggestion of silvery white at the 
tips, this is an aster which is unique in this class. 
Excellent for cut flower use, the plants are fine for 
bedding use as well. Pkt. 15c.
