NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
*POPPY NUDICAULE 
SANDFORD’S GIANT STRAIN 
(Grower’s Description) 
Of late years there has been a great 
renewal of interest in Iceland Poppies. 
Consequently there have been many 
new strains developed and put on the 
market, and it has become necessary to 
choose the best one among all those 
offered. We have maintained extensive 
trials of all strains during the past two 
seasons, and from our findings recom¬ 
mend Sandford’s Giants as the out¬ 
standing strain of the present day. 
The flowers are huge and well-formed, 
in a wide range of colors, borne on long 
stiff stems, which are fine for cutting. 
Pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD (Tagetes) SIGNATA 
PUMILA (Golden Gem) 
This is the border marigold which has been receiving 
so much publicity in the garden magazines lately, 
and you cannot afford to be without a border of it in 
your garden if you would be up on the latest in garden 
favorites. Dwarf and compact in habit, the plant is 
covered with dozens of small single orange flowers 
throughout the summer. For long blooming period 
and brilliant coloring, Golden Gem has few equals as 
an edging plant. Pkt. 10c. 
MARIGOLD (Tagetes Signata Pumila) 
LITTLE GIANT (Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
One of the leading horticulturists of the country is 
so fond of Tagetes Signata Pumila, and so disap¬ 
pointed with the results obtained from any strain 
available, that he has given us no peace until we suc¬ 
ceeded in developing this neat, dwarf, really compact 
strain. We are proud to offer Little Giant as the 
highest development yet attained of this pretty little 
Marigold, with slender fernlike foliage and an abun¬ 
dance of dainty, single, golden orange flowers on 
plants which are only four to six inches high, with 
a spread of eight to ten inches. Pkt. 15c. 
SCHIZANTHUS SUNSET HYBRIDS 
(Bodger) (Grower’s Description) 
This carefully bred strain is the result of our years 
of endeavor to produce an arrestingly bright strain of 
this ever-popular flower. Sunset Hybrids is the ac¬ 
complishment of this ideal, a well balanced blend 
consisting of bright red and carmine shades, each 
butterfly-like flower delicately marked with gold or 
white. The two-foot plants are covered with a mass 
of flowers, which are excellent for cutting. One of the 
most easily grown garden annuals, it is also fine for 
pot plant use. Pkt. 15c. 
* STATICE DICKSONII (Grower’s 
Description) 
Dicksonii is undoubtedly the outstanding Statice in¬ 
troduction of recent years. It is quite unlike any other 
variety in commerce, and as far as we can discover, 
unknown to the trade of this country and Europe. 
The flowers are very large and open, borne in quan¬ 
tities on long-stemmed large sprays which have a 
delightfully lacy open effect. The plants are fully 
hardy, rather slow growing, with tough dark green, 
long narrow leaves making a neat clump from which 
rise the sprays of deep rose flowers. Plants will not 
flower the first year from seed, but they are well 
worth waiting for an extra season. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD ROYAL SCOT 
(Grower’s Description) 
Modern as the crack Scottish Railway train The 
Royal Scot from which it borrowed its name, this 
marigold is the most striking yet introduced. The 
large well-formed double flowers are produced in 
abundance on plants from 24 to 30 inches in height. 
The color is a charming combination of mahogany 
and gold in symmetrical stripes which radiate from 
the center of the flowers. We feel confident that 
Royal Scot will be welcomed by florists and home 
gardeners alike. Pkt. 15c. 
SALPIGLOSSIS PURPLE 
SELF (Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
This is undoubtedly the richest dark 
variety in the Salpiglossis group, a dis¬ 
tinct new shade. The color is a rich 
deep velvety purple, free from all 
markings, holding well until out of 
bloom. The flowers are large and of 
good substance, a striking subject for 
combination with other flowers, par¬ 
ticularly red or gold shades. Pkt. X5c. 
*SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ISAAC HOUSE 
STRAIN—(Blue Bonnets) 
This is a very greatly improved strain over the 
ordinary scabiosa caucasica. The flowers are surpris¬ 
ingly large, gracefully fringed and ruffled, in shades 
of blue ranging from very dark shades through the 
midblues to lavender. During the hot months of June 
and July, when most flowers look rather wilted from 
the heat, these hybrids are unaffected by the tem¬ 
perature and make a fine showing in the garden, or 
for cut flower use. Pkt. 25c.
