SALBACH SELECTED SEED SPECIALTIES 
GLEAM HYBRID DOUBLE NASTURTIUMS 
We offer selected seed 
specialties for your gar¬ 
den—not just quality 
seeds — but the finest of 
the best and newest va¬ 
rieties that can be had. 
We do not attempt to 
stock a complete line of 
seeds, but limit ourselves 
to the most outstanding 
strains and novelties. 
In every case, we have 
obtained the finest seeds 
possible, regardless of the 
cost. We call particular 
attention to the following 
seed strains, either Sal- 
bach exclusives, or strains 
not generally obtainable: 
Aquilegia, Waller Franklin Strain —Described by Sydney B. Mitchell in “From a Sunset Gar¬ 
den” as the best American strain of columbine. 
Broom, Fancy Colored Hybrids —Gathered from Sydney B. Mitchell’s own garden, having 
been originally imported from England. 
Dwarf Dahlias, Unwin Bedding Type, Salbach Re-Selections —We believe our strain to be 
the finest in commerce. See front cover. 
Delphinium, Vetterle and Reinelt Strain —This most remarkable strain, which we introduced 
last year, placed first at both the California State Fair, and at the California Flower 
Festival, 1934. 
Helianthemum —A beautiful dwarf flowering shrub. Our seeds obtained from Sydney B. 
Mitchell, whose original stock came from the world-famous John Nicholl and W. M. 
Christy strains. 
Iceland Poppies—Santa Maria Inn and Gartref Strains —The finest general strains, built up 
by Frank J. McCoy, the genial proprietor of the Inn, whose hobby has been the growing 
of the finest Iceland Poppies, and the most outstanding novelty strains. 
t-ansies—Super Swiss (Roggli) Giants—A remarkably fine strain. 
Petumas —Including Richard Diener’s Ruffled Giants in Mr. Diener’s own packets. Also 
outstanding named varieties, mostly in the “Balcony” type that is so effective in the garden. 
Snapdragons—Lammerts Rust-Proof Strain —Splendid strain, one of, if not the best. In 
mixture and separate colors. 
Zinnias —The finest we know of, coming directly from Bodger’s, the originators of the famous 
Dahlia flowered and other types.
