NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
GIANT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE ASTER 
The Most Beautiful Aster in the World 
Plants of this new race grow three feet high and 
bear blossoms on long, stiff stems, admirable for cut¬ 
ting. The individual blooms are enormous, four to six 
inches in diameter. 
The color in thees new asters is startlingly beauti¬ 
ful. A dual tone effect is obtained through the con¬ 
trasting tints of the disc-like center and the outer or 
guard petals. In color they vary in shades of Enchant¬ 
ress-pink, apple blossom, deep rose, blue, and lavender, 
but the disc, sometimes light yellow, sometimes blue, 
adds considerably to the colorful effect of the blooms. 
In mixture only. Pkt. 20c. 
ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 
Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant 
race, and how beautifully it upholds the romantic 
traditions of its namesake, the glamorous city of 
sunshine and flowers. The color is a serenely pure 
shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep, 
and unusually large, yet artistically graceful in the 
feathery effect of the interlacing petals. Loosely 
arranged in 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, 
Didiscus. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER LILLIPUT FLOWERED 
Comparing in size with the Lilliput Zinnias, these 
baby flowered asters fill a very definite place in the 
border or cutflower garden. The flowers are tiny and 
buttonlike in form, coming in profuse clusters on 
medium length stems, lending themselves very grace¬ 
fully to flower arrangement or for a colorful border 
in the garden. The colors are bright and clear cut, 
some varieties having a deeper zone at the center.

COSMOS KLONDYKE ORANGE FLARE 
(Growers' Description) 
Now at last we may grow the lovely orange colored 
cosmos and be assured of having flowers before frost. 
In most parts of the country this brilliant hued flower 
is practically unknown because of its late flowering 
habit. Realizing its beauty, however, we have bent 
our efforts towards producing an early flowering strain 
which may be enjoyed by all. We have accomplished 
this purpose with Orange Flare, a strain which is in 
full bloom less than five months from sowing. The 
color is the same vivid orange of the ordinary Klon- 
dyke, with attractive light green foliage. Pkt. 25c. 
CALENDULA APRICOT QUEEN 
Very much in the limelight at the present time, the 
valuable qualities of the Calendula are being exploited 
both for the market and in private gardens. Various 
breaks in color and form of flower have occurred, and 
what we here offer is a flat petalled variety of a bright 
apricot shade, deepening slightly towards the center. 
It is excellent for all the purposes to which a Calen¬ 
dula can be put. Pkt. 25c. 
CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA 
OR SUNSHINE 
Chrysantha is a new Calendula which is outstand¬ 
ing among all varieties known up to the present time. 
Many improvements have been made on Calendulas, 
but no other origination can begin to compare with 
this lovely new-comer from far-off Australia. The 
large flowers are an exquisite shade of clear buttercup 
yellow, with long loosely arranged petals, which 
droop to give the rounded appearance found in our 
favorite Chrysanthemums. Besides adding a bright 
golden splash of color to the garden, Chrysantha is a 
fine cutting variety, with long stiff stems, well adapted 
to combine with other flowers, such as blue delphin¬ 
ium, in bowls or vases. Pkt. 15c. 
CALENDULA GOLDEN RADIO 
The Calendula is becoming one of our most in¬ 
teresting plant families, with the wide variety of 
flower shapes and forms, plant types, and colors 
which are being developed each season. One of the 
most intriguing of the many forms is the type known 
as Radio, first appearing in the orange variety, and! 
now Golden Radio has been developed as a companion 
form. The color is a bright golden yellow, in the 
characteristically quilled petals of the flowei; which 
comes true to both type and color. Pkt. 10c. 
CALENDULA BODGER’S PASTEL 
BEDDING MIXTURE 
Designed especially for the home garden, this mix¬ 
ture contains a balanced combination of the lighter 
shades of Calendulas in the dwarfer growing types. 
Many new shades of apricot, salmon, cream, and white 
are included as well as the better known orange and 
lemon shades. There is also a novel assortment of 
flower types. Especially adapted for border use, the 
stems are long enough to use the flowers for cutting 
also. Pkt. 10c. 
CLARKIA ELEGANS DOUBL^ 
ENCHANTRESS (Growers’ Description) 
The ever increasing demand for the so-called “old- 
fashioned” type of flower has brought the Clarkias into 
their own as never before. Within the past four or 
five seasons there have evolved an unprecedented 
number of new colors in this old favorite. One of the 
finest of these varieties is Enchantress, light orange 
shading to pink, a delightful color which is sure to 
become a great favorite. The flowers are double and 
well placed on the long stems. Pkt. 15c. 
*DELPHINIUM CLIVEDEN BEAUTY 
Cliveden Beauty is the same beautiful light blue as 
the Belladonna Delphinium but is a highly improved 
strain. The flowers are larger and the plant a more 
robust grower, very even in height, making a striking 
show in the garden or when used for cutting. Pkt. 15c 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA RAMONA (Frilled 
California Poppies) 
Ramona type California Poppies are beautifully 
frilled and fluted, in the russet and pinkish shades, on 
neat growing plants which form a compact mass of 
flowers. They are very effective when used as a border 
or as a ground cover in the rose garden.
