NASTURTIUM- 
DOUBLE SCARLET GLEAM 
Scarlet Gleam, when grown in a large block, 
has been likened to a huge, fiery carpet spread 
over the ground. It is, in fact, the most in¬ 
tensely dazzling color one could imagine in a 
flower. The blossoms are a fiery orange scarlet, 
a color comparable to the brilliance of Scarlet 
Sage and of an immense size, about three inches 
across, much larger than any Nasturtium ever 
known. Similar in habit of growth, the type of 
doubleness found in the individual flower is some¬ 
what different from that known in the popular 
Golden Gleam. Fragrantly sweet. 
The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short 
runners from a well rounded free flowering bush, 
with long wiry stems bearing the numerous 
flowers well above the foliage, which gives the 
effect of a solid mass of color. For cutting or 
garden use Scarlet Gleam, which has but few 
equals. Packet 25c. (Illustrated page 72). 
COSMOS- 
EARLY KLONDIKE ORANGE FLARE 
Orange Flare is one of the most discussed 
and enthusiastically admired novelties of the 
garden today. Although Klondyke Cosmos is 
not a new variety, the fact that it may be had in 
full bloom in so short a time as four months 
from time of seeding, is unprecedented in the 
flower world. The color is the same vivid orange 
of the ordinary Klondyke, but the attractive light 
green foliage is much less abundant, giving a 
plant a mass of color. The stems are long and 
wiry and well adapted to cutting. Packet 25c. 
(Illustrated page 72). 
MARIGOLD- 
YELLOW SUPREME 
A large, fluffy, well rounded bloom of deli¬ 
cately mild honey fragrance with broad, loose, 
frilled petals of a rich, creamy lemon yellow 
color. The flowers are similar to “Guinea Gold,” 
recently introduced, but are of a pure lemon 
yellow color, many nearly three inches across, 
blooming quite, early. 
In water 48 to 12 hours, it takes on an even 
more delightful color and, if possible, a more 
graceful form. With ordinary care, cut blooms 
hold a decided freshness fully a week to ten days. 
Judges of fine flowers acclaim it a leading exhibi¬ 
tion variety this year and its future as a garden 
and cut flower favorite is assured. Packet 25c. 
(Illustrated page 73). 
CALENDULA- 
ORANGE SHAGGY 
This is a worthy introduction of a new la- 
ciniated petalled type of Calendula, glowing 
orange in color. It represents the most remark¬ 
able novelty of this class. It is the most grace¬ 
ful and unique calendula yet seen and is highly 
desirable for the garden. Packet 25c. (Illus¬ 
trated page 72). 
Zinnia- 
chrysanthemum FLOWERED OR 
FANTASY FINEST MIXED 
The most fascinating new Zinnia type intro¬ 
duced to the flower world in many years.. The 
very informal, shaggy appearing flowers are 
graceful and interesting; quite distinct from the 
stiff, formal Zinnias to which we are accustomed. 
The rounded, medium sized flowers are composed 
of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals which give a 
delicate and refined appearance, large enough to 
satisfy the desire for mass of color, yet small 
enough to lend themselves gracefully to flower 
arrangement. The color range includes the 
brightest shades of red, yellow and orange, as 
well as the popular pastel pinks and cream. 
Packet 25c. (Illustrated page 72). 
NASTURTIUM- 
DOUBLE GLORIOUS GLEAM HYBRIDS 
With the introduction of these Gleam Hybrids 
the flower world will be enriched by an advance 
in the forward progress of the plant world. The 
Hybrids are a collection of gorgeously colored, 
large, well formed flowers of dazzling beauty. 
Glorious flowers of salmon, golden yellow, orange 
scarlet, cerise, cream yellow, orange, crimson, 
and gold flushed combine with the foliage of 
fresh green. They thrive under almost any cul¬ 
tural conditions. Packet 25c. (Illustrated back 
cover). 
SPECIAL MENTION 
DIANTHUS— 
LACINATUS SPLENDENS 
Free flowering and easily grown, the Dianthus 
family has for years furnished many of the most 
popular border subjects. One of the recent addi¬ 
tions to this family is the sterling novelty La- 
cinatus Splendens, a variety which is the most 
striking Dianthus in its class. The flowers are 
very large, over two inches across, in a brilliant 
shade of crimson, with a large, boldly contrast¬ 
ing, glistening white eye. Packet 25c. (Illus¬ 
trated page 72). 
VERBENA— 
NANA ERECTA, VIOLET BOUQUET 
A new and remarkable introduction of a 
charming striking rich violet shade in the dwarf 
erect Verbena family. The flowers are abun¬ 
dantly and attractively arranged on short, strong 
stems, making an ideal bedding plant of great 
merit. Packet 25c. 
MARIGOLD— 
AFRICAN DWARF, Double Imbricated 
A delightful class of large flowered dwarf 
African marigolds. The double and imbricated 
petals make a very showy compact flower and 
won it a Special Mention in the All-American Se¬ 
lection for 1935. Golden Beauty, 15c packet; 
Yellow Beauty, 15c packet.
