Recent Novelties of Merit 
GAILLARDIA, Indian Chief 
For a wealth of Summer blooms few annuals can equal 
this gorgeous, bronzy-red, broad-rayed flower of sparkling 
beauty. The dense, bushy plants grow about a foot high 
and bloom continuously in profusion. Pkt. 25c. 
GYPSOPHILA PACIFICA 
A good rose-colored perennial Babysbreath, coming into 
flower after the common white Paniculata varieties have 
passed. The 3}^ to 4 foot plants are a veritable cloud of 
tiny blooms the first season from seed. Valuable as a filler 
for all bouquets. H.P. Pkt. 50c. 
HUNNEMANNIA, Sunlite 
This clear, canary-yellow Giant Tulip Poppy is very 
pretty and does well in a sunny position in well drained soil. 
It is a semi-double cut flower with lasting qualities and a 
long season of bloom; combines well with your favorite 
blue flowers. Pkt. 20c. 
LARKSPUR, Rosamond 
The individual florets of this distinct, pure, bright rose 
self color are large and very double, evenly and closely 
placed on stems about 4 feet tall. It is nearly two weeks 
earlier and gives a good cut before other Larkspurs are 
available. So outstanding as to win a Gold Medal Award 
in 1933, but sold out so early that we could not offer it 
in 1934. Pkt. 25c. 
ANNUAL LUPINES 
HARTWEGI GIANTS (H.A.) An improved strain—a 
match for the regal Polyphyllus (perennial) varieties in 
size and beauty. They are excellent for cutting and may 
be successfully forced under glass. 3 to 4 feet. 
King Blue. Enormous spikes of rich Oxford blue, en¬ 
hanced by a pure white stripe in the standard of each 
flower. Pkt. 25c. 
King White. A pure white companion to King Blue. 
Delightfully scented. Pkt. 25c. 
Hartwegi Giants Mixed. Its colors include dark blue, 
sky blue, rose, and white shades. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD, Josephine 
From among the tall French sorts this variety shines 
forth to win the admiration of critical flower lovers. Grow¬ 
ing 2-2 Yi feet tall, it produces an abundance of velvety 
textured, golden brown blooms, each with a threadlike 
golden edge. Extremely attractive for cutting even though 
some variation exists in the colorings. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c. 
MARIGOLD, Royal Scot 
A most striking color in the Double French type, growing 
24 to 30 inches high—a charming combination of mahogany 
and gold in symmetrical stripes radiating from the center 
of each flower. Its blooms are double, well formed, and 
produced in abundance. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIAS 
DIENER’S MAUVE (H.A.) Diener, the originator, says 
about this ruffled monster; “It is one of my most exqui¬ 
site and popular varieties. The average flowers are 5 in. 
across, and are very fragrant. The center of each single 
flower is heavily veined with royal purple.” Pkt. $1.00. 
DOUBLE FRINGED, ROSE PINK AND WHITE (H.A.) 
A tremendously beautiful double fringed Petunia of the 
largest size, best described as a bright rose pink with a 
large white frill, giving each bloom the appearance of 
huge balls of lace. Pkt. $1.00. 
GIANT DOUBLE FRINGED “VICTORIOUS.” The 
finest strain of large flowering, dwarf, double Petunias 
yet seen. A wonderful assortment of brilliant and fancy 
colors will be found in this superb mixture. Pkt. 50c. 
SCABIOSA (Mourning Bride) 
BLUE COCKADE (H.A.) This outstanding novelty is 
deeper than Azure Fairy in color; in fact, the purest, 
deep azure blue to be found in any annual. Quite unlike 
the ordinary type, the flowers have such a great depth 
of head as to appear almost conical in shape. Won an 
Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society 
of Great Britain. Pkt. 25c. 
ZINNIA, Fantasy 
This very informal, shaggy Zinnia is quite distinct from 
the stiff, bold, Dahlia-flowered type that has held the atten¬ 
tion of the gardening public for so long. It is most fascinat¬ 
ing and graceful. The rounded, medium sized blooms are 
a mass of quilled and twisted, raylike petals in the brightest 
shades of reds, yellow and orange, as well as the popular 
pastel pinks and cream. 
Mixed Colors Only. Pkt. 25c. 
ZINNIA, Scabious Flowered 
About the cone of quilled petals in the center of each 
flower is a single row of large petals which makes these de¬ 
cidedly unique flowers resemble Scabiosas, hence the name. 
Of only fair size, yet exceedingly effective as cut flowers, 
appearing in pleasing shades of scarlet, orange, yellow, 
pink and white. 
Mixed Colors Only. Pkt. 25c. 
VERBENA VENOSA 
LILACINA (H.H.P.) Growing a foot and producing such a 
mass of flowers as to hide all the foliage, this new variety 
with delicate lavender blue flowers is at once acceptable 
for carpet bedding, borders, and for cutting—valuable 
for color schemes, too. Pkt. 35c. 
Zinnia Fantasy, a unique variety with quilled and 
twisted petals, that is of striking appearance
