1935 SPRING AND FALL -<^ THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. ^ YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
Globe Amaranth 
Gomphrena—A first-rate bedding plant; the 
flowers resemble clover heads and can be dried 
and used in winter bouquets. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
20c; 1 oz., 30c. 
Everlasting or Eternal Flower 
Helichrysum 
Mixed—These are of the most beautiful 
colors: pink, white, red, yellow, lavender. They 
bloom on good, strong stocks, standing 3 to 4 
feet high and are as beautiful as any of the an¬ 
nuals you can have. Cutting these just as the 
buds commence to open, they retain their 
delicate colors perfectly and remain beautiful for 
several years. These are the genuine ever¬ 
lasting flowers. Plant liberally of these. Cut 
large quantities of the just opening buds and 
retain them for the holidays and for special 
occasions. Add a few green fern leaves or Plum- 
osus fronds and you will have most beautiful 
bouquets for all occasions. Pkt., 5c; 'A oz., 15c; 
oz., 35c. 
Heliotrope 
Highly valued for the fragrance of their 
flowers and duration of bloom. Tender perennial, 
one foot. Easily grown from seed; blooming 
the first summer if sown early. 
Lemoine’s Giant Hybrid—Choice infixed. 
Pkt., 8c; 2 pkts., 15c. 
Hunnemannia 
(Giant Yellow Tulip Poppy, or Bush 
Eschscholtzia) 
Fumariaefolia — This is by far the best of the 
poppy family for cutting, remaining in good con- 
dition for several days. Seed sown early in'May 
will, by the middle of July, produce plants cov¬ 
ered with their large buttercup-yellow poppy¬ 
like blossoms and never out of flower until hard 
frost. The plants grow about 2 feet high, are 
quite bushy, with beautiful feathery glaucous 
foliage. Pkt., 7c; 'A oz., 15c. 
Ice Plant 
Handsome plant for baskets, rock work, 
vases and edgings. Leaves and stems appear as 
though covered with ice crystals; easily grown. 
Pkt., 7c; Vz oz., 20c. 
Japanese Flower Garden 
For several years we have been trying to 
secure from Japan a satisfactory collection 
of their wonderful flower seeds for planting 
in lawns and borders. We have secured it 
this year and believe that everyone ordering 
flower seed should include at least a package 
of this. It can be planted with lawn grass 
or in beds by itself. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 'A lb., 60c. 
Linum or Scarlet Flax 
One of the most showy annuals for flower 
beds and masses. Brilliant crimson-scarlet 
flowers, 1 inch across, borne in wonderful pro¬ 
fusion. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c. 
Lobelia Crystal Palace 
A most excellent and useful plant for bedding. 
Compact, erect growth, flowers deep blue. Seed 
should be covered lightly. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 
25c. 
Lupinus 
Deep Blue Texas Lupin — Loveliest 
Larkspur, or Delphinium 
Annual Varieties 
The annual varieties are very free bloomers 
and produce large spikes of flowers, white, 
pink, rose, light blue, dark blue and violet. 
In some varieties the flowers are double, in 
others single. The beautiful plume-like foliage 
is very ornamental. 
Giant Imperial Mixed 
Great advancement has been made in this new 
and valuable type of Larkspur in the past few 
seasons. Especially fine for cutting, as it pro¬ 
duces flower-stems 3 to 4 feet long, branching 
from the base of the plant. Very popular on ac¬ 
count of its upright Delphinium-like form. Pkt., 
8c; !4 oz., 20c. 
Giant Imperial Blue Bell 
(All American Selections 1934) 
Blue Bell is a fine medium blue Larkspur 
deeper than Sky Blue, a color up to this time 
lacking in the giant imperial type. The habit 
is decidedly upright, with long basal branched 
flowering spikes, well adapted for cutting. 
Height 3 to 4 ft. Pkt., 15c. 
Dwarf Double Hyacinth 
Flowered 
These early flowering Larkspur grow about 
12 to 18 inches high and come in a great variety 
of colors. Fine for border or rock gardens. 
Pkt., 5c; Vz oz., 20c. 
Marigold 
The African Marigolds are valuable for their 
flowers in autumn, and can be grown to advan¬ 
tage in the little clumps with other plants in the 
front of shrubbery or in the garden border. The 
African varieties are the taller in growth. They 
succeed best in a light soil, with full exposure to 
Marigold Royal Scot 
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 flower. We feel confident that 
Royal Scot will be welcomed by florists and home 
gardeners alike. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
African Orange Alldouble 
Any strain of African Marigold that will come 
fifty per cent double is considered good — sixty 
is excellent. We are pleased to announce, how¬ 
ever, that we have developed a strain of African 
Orange Marigold which has come one hundred 
per cent double for the past two years. We are 
pleased to be able to offer this to the t rade under 
the name of “Alldouble.” Pkt., 7c; 'A oz., 20c. 
African Marigolds—Mixed varieties. Pkt., 
5c; 'A oz., 20c. 
Dwarf Double French Gold Striped—Few 
annuals are so effective as the French Marigolds 
or flower for so long a period. Seed may be sown 
in the open ground when the weather becomes 
warm. They form dense bushes not over one foot 
high, which are covered with richly colored 
flowers from July till frost. 
Very double golden-yellow, each petal striped 
with rich mahogany-red. Pkt., 7c; 'A oz., 15c. 
Guinea Gold 
The golden orange flowers are not shaped like 
ordinary African Marigolds; they are more like ; 
Carnations, with their petals loosely placed and 
waved. 
Bushy, blossom covered plants are ideal for 
borders, and many florists have already pro¬ 
nounced Guinea Gold the best Marigold for 1 
cutting. Pkt., 8c; 'A oz., 20c.
