NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
DIANTHUS LACINIATUS SPLENDENS 
*DIANTHUS LACINIATUS SPLENDENS 
(Grower’s Description) 
Free flowering and easily grown, the Dianthus fam¬ 
ily has for years furnished us with some of our most 
popular border subjects. One of the most recent addi¬ 
tions to this family is the sterling novelty Laciniatus 
Splendens, a variety which, in our opinion, is the most 
striking Dianthus we have ever offered. The flowers 
are very large, over two inches across, in a brilliant 
shade of crimson, with a largely boldly contrasting 
glistening white eye. Pkt. 25c. 
GODETIA SYBIL SHERWOOD 
(Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society 1932) 
(Grower’s Description) 
We consider this the most beautiful Godetia yet 
introduced. The color is a gorgeous shade of bright 
pink softened by an undefined edging of white. The 
plants are robust, about 20 inches high, strong 
stemmed, and so free flowering that the foliage is 
almost hidden from view. The flowers are ideal for 
cutting, with long stems and exceptional keeping 
qualities. We predict a bright future for Sybil Sher¬ 
wood. Pkt. 15c. 
GYPSOPHILA 
★Pacifica. 4 ft. This variety is especially hardy as it 
withstood the severe frost of winter and extreme heat 
and dryness of summer. The seedlings form dense 
bushes and attain a height of 4 ft. the second year. 
The myriads of tiny pink blossoms appear on the 
slender spreading panicles. Flowers later than the 
Paniculata. Good for cutting. Pkt. 25c. 
HOLLYHOCK 
★Double Triumph. Grows 4-5 ft. high and is of 
branching habit, all the stems being studded by pret¬ 
tily waved and fringed flowers which appear in an 
entirely new range of colors and combinations of 
colors. Pkt. 15c. 
Those Marked 
HUNNEMANNIA SUN LITE 
Sunlite is a double flowered poppy 
which is different. Its extra band of 
petals is produced on the outside, rather 
than the inside of the tulip shaped 
flowers, giving the impression of being 
open, even after the cuplike blossoms 
have closed for the night. The flowers 
are a bright canary yellow, and the 
foliage of the two-foot bush is a light 
gray-green. They like a sunny position 
in a well-drained border and flower 
freely in late summer. Pkt. 15c. 
LARKSPUR GIANT 
IMPERIAL BLUE BELL 
Blue Bell is a fine medium blue lark¬ 
spur, deeper than sky blue, yet much 
lighter than lilac, a color up to this 
time lacking in the giant imperial type. 
The type is decidedly upright, with long 
basal branched flowering spikes, well 
adapted for cutting. Pkt. 15c. 
LARKSPUR GIANT 
IMPERIAL LOS ANGELES 
IMPROVED 
This is the same color as that popular 
stock flowered variety, Los Angeles, but 
in the vastly improved giant imperial 
type. It is the best of this type on the 
market. For greenhouse use, or where 
a tall, compact growing strain is 
wanted in the garden, this variety is 
preferable. The spikes are long and 
without side branches, making it an ex¬ 
cellent kind for cutting. The color is 
a brilliant rose on salmon. Pkt. 15c. 
LARKSPUR STOCK FLOWERED 
ROSAMOND 
Rosamond is a pure rose color, a shade which has 
been entirely lacking in larkspurs up to this time. 
All other rose varieties have faded badly, but this 
ene has that rare quality of holding the pure rose 
color until out of flower. It is very uniform in height, 
and comes into flower two weeks earlier than other 
stock flowered varieties. Pkt. 15c. 
LEPTOSYNE—Yellow Daisy 
Stillmani. An easily grown, attractive annual, par¬ 
ticularly valued because it blooms early and con¬ 
tinuously for many weeks. Beautiful daisy-like flowers 
of a pure golden yellow carried on plants growing 
20 in. tall. Pkt. 10c. 
MARIGOLD, GUINEA GOLD 
Unbounded enthusiasm! These two words express 
only conservatively the reaction of gardeners to this 
magnificent new Marigold which surpasses anything 
ever created in this class. The graceful pyramidal 
plants grow 2 to 2^ ft. tall and bear 30 to 40 semi¬ 
double Carnation-like blooms measuring 2 to 2^4 in. 
across. The color of the flowers is the most intense 
pure orange-gold imaginable. Blooms continuously 
throughout the summer and fall. Splendid for the gar¬ 
den and for cutting. Pkt. 10c. 
MARIGOLD DWARF FRENCH DOUBLE 
MONARCH STRAIN 
Dwarf French Marigolds are among the finest bor¬ 
der subjects for home gardens. Monarch strain has 
all the qualities which make up the ideal type, dwarf 
compact growth, very large, tight double flowers, in 
a wide color range which includes combinations of 
orange, bronze, yellow and mahogany. Most of the 
flowers instead of being a solid self color, have two or 
more shades combined in stripes or spotted effects, 
which adds to the interest of the variety. Pkt. 10c.
