1935 SPRING AND FALL ^ THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
Mixed Flower Garden 
This is a combination of all the very best 
annuals. We recommend this for sowing in 
beds where you want a quick showing of bright 
colors that will last until frost comes. Also 
recommend it highly for mixture with Lawn 
Grass where making a new lawn. Do not sow 
in sod, as it will not be satisfactory to you. 
Sowed on new lawns it gives a fine showing of 
all the best annuals mixed with green grass. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; !4 lb., 60c. 
Mignonette 
Seeds of Mignonette may be sown at any sea¬ 
son, so that a succession of flowers can be se¬ 
cured. Seeds sown early in the garden will give 
flowers through the summer. Very few cultivate 
the sweet Mignonette compared with the many 
that might show their love for this sweet little 
flower. Annual. 
Sweet—Well-known, fragrant. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 20c. 
Mourning Bride Scabiosa 
(Pin Cushion Flower) 
Scabiosa or Sweet Scabious — An old-fash¬ 
ioned but most attractive flower. Its great 
abundance of richly colored, fragrant blossoms 
on long stems make it one of the most decora¬ 
tive plants, of the garden. Desirable for cutting 
as well as for beds and borders. 
Seed may be sown in place as soon as ground 
can be worked; or for earlier blooming sow in 
hotbed early in spring and transplant. About 
two feet high. Pkt., 7c; Zz oz., 25c. 
Nasturtium Golden Gleam 
This plant forms a vigorous, large bush, which 
throws out short runners, averaging eighteen 
inches. The flowers commence to come as soon 
as the plant nears complete development, and 
at the time it is in full bloom the entire plant, 
including the runners, is a blaze of color. The 
large, golden-yellow semi-double flowers average 
two and one-half to three inches across. They 
are borne on erect, stiff stems six inches in 
length. Consequently the flowers stand well 
above the foliage, an arrangement which adds 
immeasurably to the showy appearance of the 
plant. An ordinary sized bouquet, when allowed 
to remain in a room for a short period of time 
will fill the room with musk-like fragrance. 
Pkt., 8c; y 2 oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; 'A lb.; 75c. 
Dwarf or Tom Thumb 
Nasturtiums 
These are dwarf, compact, rounded growth, 
and like all Tom Thumbs, succeed on light, well- 
drained soil, or in slightly raised beds. The Tom 
Thumb Nasturtiums are much freer bloomers 
than any of the other varieties and are excellent 
for border plants. 
Tom Thumb Mixed—This mixture is com¬ 
posed of all of the best Tom Thumbs and is re¬ 
markable both for brilliancy of color and perfec¬ 
tion of individual flowers. The low price at 
which we are offering this seed brings it within 
the reach of everyone, and it should be planted 
liberally. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 14 lb., 30c; lb., 75c. 
Vesuvius—Flowers very large, finely formed 
and the broad petals are salmon rose, heavily 
veined with salmon orange. Foliage dark green. 
Very beautiful. Pkt., 7c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 45c. 
Tall or Trailing Nasturtiums 
These are all of strong, vigorous growth and 
can be trained upon strings or wires, or for 
covering fences or trellises.

hundreds of other varieties. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 
l A lb., 30c; lb., 75c. 
Primrose Primula 
Primroses are charming plants which blossom 
freely during the spring and winter. They are 
of easy culture and should be sown from March 
to May and again in July to August for a suc¬ 
cession of bloom. All make splendid pot plants, 
and some blossom freely out of doors even during 
the winter. 
Giant Flowered—The 
beautiful Fringed Chinese 
and Obconica Grandiflora 
are large flowered, bloom 
freely for several months 
and are of the very best 
house plants. We offer 
only the best seed. Pkt.,

Portulaca or 
Moss Rose 
There is scarcely any 
flower in cultivation that 
makes such a dazzling dis¬ 
play of beauty as a bed of 
many-hued, brilliant- 
colored Portulacas. They 
thrive best in a rather rich 
light loam or sandy soil, 
and an exposed sunny situa¬ 
tion.

Flowers perfectly double of 
the most brilliant scarlet, 
crimson, rose, white, yel¬ 
low, etc. Pkt., 10c; !4 oz.,

Queen Anne lace was the 
most delicate and beautiful 
and Nature has done its 
best to reproduce the delicate figures and beau¬ 
tiful patterns in this flower. The color is a 
charming, dainty baby blue. Pkt., 7c; !4 oz., 20c. 
The House of Gurney, Inc. 
Yankton, S. Dak. 
Dear Sirs; 
I used your seeds last year for the first 
time and like them fine, especially the cucum¬ 
bers. No one around here had ever seen any¬ 
thing like them, and I used all 1 could for my 
family of seven, sold all I could and gave them 
away by the bushel, from one packet of seed. 
Yours truly, 
Mrs. Frank Rupp, 
Epworth, la., Route 1 
PANSIES 
Pansy—Gurney’s Special Blend 
Gurney's Special Blend of Fancy Giant 
Pansies— The increasing popular demand for the 
highest class of Pansies leads us to offer you this 
blend of varieties that cannot be excelled, con¬ 
taining as it does the largest and most beautiful 
of all of the blotched, frilled and the smooth, well 
formed and monstrous Pansies with a range of 
color, covering all of Pansydom. 
The texture of these flowers is heavy and vel¬ 
vety. The flowers are borne on large, stiff stems 
which make them of exceptional value for cut 
flowers, lasting as they do for many days. 
The seed of this Special Gurney Blend is 
necessarily higher priced than the common, but 
is worth many times the difference. Pkt., 15c; 
14 oz., 50c; Zt oz., 85c. 
Special Strains of Pansy 
Orchid-Flowered— This distinct and beauti¬ 
ful strain will appeal to those who prefer delicate 
shades and soft tints of coloring. Includes orchid 
shades of chamois, pink, lilac, rose, orange and 
lavender. Pkt.. 10c; 2 pkts., 15c. 
Giant Masterpiece —These Pansies are very 
large and the petals are frilled and ruffled to a 
greater extent than other kinds. The colors 
are excellent and the plants of great vigor, 
holding the immense flowers well up on long 
strong stems. The petals are often so large and 
fluted that the flowers appear to be double. 
Pkt., 12c; 2 for 20c. 
Bugnot, Giant Blotched—Large round 
flowers that come in many colors. In the Bugnot 
type of Pansy the blotches are not well defined 
on the edges but they radiate into the margin 
of the flowers. This gives quite an unusual charm 
to the blooms and adds to their apparent size. 
Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c. 
Best Mixed —One of the most interesting 
classes of flowers grown. A bed of Pansies in 
bloom always has something new for you in vari¬ 
ety of color and marking, every time you visit it. 
Are in bloom continuously from spring until late 
fall. The seed may be sown in the hot bed, in 
boxes in the house or in the open ground. Very 
best mixed. Pkt., 5c; 'A oz., 25c; Yzoz., 40c; 
1 oz., 75c.
