Dahlia 
Unwin’s Dwarf Hybrids 
These new hybrids are entirely different 
from other Dahlias. They are very easily 
grown from seed, just as easy as Zinnias, 
and produce plants from 18 to 24 inches 
high, and require no staking. 
Flowers are semi-double in a wide 
range of beautiful colors and are pro¬ 
duced in great abundance. They are very 
effective for beds and borders, will bloom 
in about 90 days from seed and continue 
until frost. 
It is impossible to describe their 
beauty. Grow them this year and enjoy 
the many gorgeous colors.

New Salvia-Royal Crimson 
Last year we first offered this New Salvia 
and claimed it to be the earliest of all 
Salvias ever grown in our gardens. Seed 
planted inside first week of April, and 
plants set in garden last week of May; 
began to bloom June 15th, and continued 
until frost in October, a mass of brilliant 
crimson color. 
Reports from customers who grew it 
the past summer say it does all we claim 
and we believe it the earliest Salvia in 
cultivation. It will begin to bloom under 
ordinary conditions 65 to 70 days from 
seed. Making a gorgeous mass of crim¬ 
son. Plants grow compact, from 18 to 20 
inches tall, carrying these brilliant flow¬ 
ers, which stand out very strikingly 
above the dark green foliage. 
The above plant was from our gardens 
and painted by artist in August.

New Marigold —Guinea Gold 
A new and distinct Marigold which sur¬ 
passes anything ever created in its class. 
The graceful, pyramidal plants 2 to 2% 
feet tall, bear 40 to 50 double. Carnation¬ 
like ruffled flowers 2 to 3 inches across 
and in a color of the most intense orange- 
gold imaginable and bears continually 
throughout the summer and fall. It is a 
most attractive and outstanding garden 
plant and superb for cutting and the 
characteristic Marigold odor is less 
noticeable in this new variety. It is very 
easy to grow and should have a place in 
every flower garden. It stands out above 
all other Marigolds and attracts attention.

Giant Dahlias from Seed 
New Hornsveld Hybrids 
In our many trials of Dahlias we have 
found one here that is a perfect beauty in 
size and colors. Seed planted inside in 
April and transplanted to our gardens in 
June began blooming in August, produc¬ 
ing enormous sized double and semi¬ 
double blooms in many rich shades and 
colors. 
Photograph above does not do justice 
to this Beautiful Dahlia; notice the large 
double blooms, some measuring over 7 
inches across, and many buds yet to 
open. It is a healthy and strong grower, 
blooms in about 90 days from seed, and 
will delight all who love fine, large 
Dahlias.

Venidium Fastuosum 
Monarch of the Veldt 
Another new flower from Africa, which 
appeals to all as one of their best in its 
class. Plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall and 
produce numerous daisy-like blooms 3 to 
4 inches across with petals of brilliant 
orange, marked with a- purple-black zone 
and unique center of woolly green. In 
contrast to the flowers the silky greyish 
foliage makes an unusual, very attrac¬ 
tive plant. Blooms over a long period if 
plants have a sunny position in the 
garden.
