Rust-Proof Snapdragons 
(75% of the Plants are Rust-Proof) 
The introduction of the New *Rust-Proof Snapdragon should 
be welcome news to the gardener who finds the Snapdragon 
among his garden favorites. 
It will be a joy to see these plants with their clean healthy 
foliage free from rust. 
*Rust is that disease which causes a burned or blighted ap¬ 
pearance on the foliage. 
RUST-PROOF SHASTA. This fine variety is very early flower¬ 
ing and exceedingly floriferous, throwing from six to eight 
spikes to a plant. This variety has a very distinct base 
branching habit. Fkt., 25c. 
RUST-PROOP CRIMSON. The color is pure crimson overlaying 
a ground of orange and gives the effect of a fiery crimson. 
This variety has a combination of fiery crimson flowers, 
dark green foliage and dark plum colored stems which makes 
it particularly attractive. Fkt., 25c. 
UNIVERSITY OP CALIFORNIA MIXTURE. An excellent 
mixture of Rust-Proof Snapdragons, containing a wonderful 
range of the popular colors. Pkt., 20c. 
Calendula, Orange Shaggy. 
Chrysanthemum, Single Golden Glory. 
Aster (Wilt-Resistant) Golden Sheaf 
GOLDEN SHEAF. Is the deepest yellow Aster yet offered, and 
the only one that is wilt-resistant. The flowers are fully 
double with an attractive crest-like center, of good substance 
and fine depth of petal. Pkt., 20c. 
For other wilt-resistant Asters see page 37. 
New Calendula, Orange Shaggy 
A very distinct new break in Calendulas. The petals are 
long and deeply fringed or laciniated. Row after row of these 
long fringed petals overlap each other in a rather irregular 
fashion and build up a bloom with the shaggy appearance of 
some Chrysanthemums. These blooms are of great grace and 
beauty, sharply contrasting with the rather formal appear¬ 
ance of varieties such as Orange King, etc. 
The color is a deep orange shading to slightly lighter orange 
in the center of the bloom giving the flower a delightful two 
tone effect. Well grown, Orange Shaggy has long stems and 
forms plants about eighteen inches high. Pkt., 25c. 
Canterbury Bells, Dwarf Bedding 
A never-failing attraction, with their glorious display of 
giant flowers in various colors, and we are glad, after several 
years of careful selection to be able to present a new dwarf 
compact type only about 20 inches in height. Forming bushes 
over 3 feet in circumference, the plants are wonderfully 
floriferous, often bearing 100 to 150 flowers, and will make a 
splendid subject for spring bedding. The colors that have so 
far appeared are varying shades of blue, mauve and white, 
and doubtless others will come in course of time. These colors 
in mixture. Biennials. Pkt., 35c. 
Chorizanthe Palmeri - Turkish Rugging 
A new subject for the border or rock garden. This easily 
grown annual forms a dense mat of statice-like flowers of a 
delicate pink which blends beautifully with the dull green 
foliage. In early fall the plant changes to a charming shade of 
autumn brown, which makes a bold showing at a time when 
Mother Nature is taking her last bow. It grows about 8 inches 
and has a spread of 12 to 18 inches. Pkt., 20c. 
Chrysanthemum Single Golden Glory 
Large perfectly formed flowers measuring 3 to 4 inches 
across, of deep canary-yellow, produced on 2 foot stems. The 
attractiveness of Golden Glory is further increased in that the 
central disc is the same color as the petals. A very free flower¬ 
ing annual. Height 3 feet. Pkt., 20c. 
Cosmos Klondyke Orange Flare 
Now at last we may grow the lovely orange colored Cosmos 
and be assured of having flowers before frost. In most parts of 
the country this brilliant hued flower is practically unknown 
because of its late flowering habit. In Orange Flare we offer 
an early flowering strain which may be enjoyed by all. Fkt., 20c,
