SALBACH SELECTED SEED SPECIALTIES 
Fertilizer will help, and so will regular cultivation—but dollar on dollar 
spent for plant food, and hour on hour of garden work will not produce prize 
winners if the plants come from inferior seed strains. That is why we are 
so confident that no real gardener will begrudge the few extra cents re¬ 
quired to secure the seeds of the finest rare strains—and that is why we 
have purchased seeds that actually cost us from two to ten times as much 
as the ordinary strains. 
NOTE—Seeds are annuals unless marked otherwise. P. means perennial. 
AQUILEGIA {Columbine). P. Waller-Frank¬ 
lin strain. Simply immense blooms with 
extra long spurs. A magnificent strain, de¬ 
scribed by Sydney B. Mitchell in “From a 
Sunset Garden” as the finest American 
strain, equal to that of any foreign firm. 
Blue Shades Superb (Waller-Franklin). 
Long spurred. Beautiful clear blues, 25c pkt. 
Waller-Franklin Hybrids. Long spurred, 
mixed—in orange, scarlet, yellow, pink, rose 
and white shades.25c pkt. 
Crimson Star. Long spurred. A large and 
brilliant variety with long crimson spurs and 
white collar. Award of Merit, R. H. S., and 
probably the finest new columbine offered. 
Seed raised in and imported from England. 
.35c pkt. 
BROOM ( Cytisis ). P. For those Westerners 
who wish colorful and unusual shrubs, we 
have secured a limited supply of hybrid 
broom seeds. Can be grown outside of the 
Pacific Coast in those regions where the 
winter is not too severe. These will produce 
plants in full color assortment, variegated, 
in brilliant shades of red, pink, gold, apricot, 
brown, rose, orange and other colors. The 
shrubs are literally covered with myriads of 
the bright little pea-shaped flowers, which 
are in bloom for a long period of the year. 
Drought resistant. Gathered from Sydney B. 
Mitchell’s own garden. Stock limited. 50c pkt. 
BROOM, Dwarf ( Cytisus ) P. As above, in full 
new color range but selected from plants IV 2 
to 2 y 2 feet high. 80%, at least, will be dwarf. 
.75c pkt. 
CALENDULA ( Pot Marigold) . Easily grown, 
many blooms, re-seeds itself. 
Orange Shaggy—An artistic, new, large, 
orange calendula that is a new “break.” 
Petals deeply fringed and laciniated, giving 
the flower a most informal air. As outstand¬ 
ing and useful as “Sunshine,” but in a dif¬ 
ferent color.25c pkt. 
Sunshine (Chrysantha). A new departure 
that you would hardly recognize as a calen¬ 
dula. Awarded seedmen’s “All-American” as 
the finest seed novelty for the season of 
1934. The petals are long and twisted inward 
in such a manner that the blooms resemble 
chrysanthemums. Color a light golden yel¬ 
low, free flowering, and excellent for cutting. 
Flowers throughout the year if blooms kept 
cut.15c pkt. 
CHEIRANTHUS ALLIONI ( Siberian Wall¬ 
flower). Brilliant orange wallflower-like 
blooms, produced freely throughout a long 
season. Ideal for bedding or rockwork. 
Eighteen inches tall. Plant in June through 
July.15c pkt. 
DELPHINIUM, Dwarf or Chinensis. One of 
the most effective plants possible for small 
borders, and for massing. Literally covered 
with blooms. A perennial which blooms the 
first year. “Something different” which 
will add a distinctive touch to your garden. 
Delivery August 15. 
Azure Fairy. Clear sky blue. 9”... 15c pkt. 
Blue Butterfly, Improved. Deep ultra- 
marine blue. 12".15c pkt. 
DELPHINIUM ( Vetterle ancl Reinelt Strain). 
P. We again offer Frank Reinelt’s remark¬ 
able strain of delphinium—than which no 
finer can be had. Those of you who saw the 
Vetterle and Reinelt display at the California 
Spring Flower Festival in April, 1935, will 
agree that even our most lavish praise fails 
to describe the excellence of this striking 
new strain.
