GENERAL LIST OF 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 required 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 of annuals unless marked otherwise. “P”—perennials. 
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 color. Award of Merit, R. H. S., and 
probably the finest new columbine offered. 
Seed raised in and imported from England. 
.35c pkt. 
ANAGALLIS (Pimpernel). Fine for rockwork. 
A dwarf growing, spreading plant covered 
with tiny blossoms. Six to eight inches tall. 
Blue .15c pkt. 
Terra-cotta.15c pkt. 
BRACHYCOME (Swan River Daisy). Re¬ 
sembles a small cineraria—dainty, free flow¬ 
ering. Useful in beds, borders or rock gardens. 
Lavender blue .15c pkt. 
Rosea-Rosy lilac.15c pkt. 
Finest mixed.15c 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. 
Being offered for the first time in America. 
Drought resistant. Gathered from Sydney B. 
Mitchell’s own garden. Stock limited. 
.$1.00 pkt. 
BROOM (Cytisis). P. Pure yellow and red- 
yellow variegated selections.25c pkt. 
CALLIOPSIS — Dwarf Marmorata. A gem, 
being a dwarf growing, miniature flowered 
calliopsis that has been completely over¬ 
looked. Rich yellow and mahogany brown 
flowers, marbled, which, form a velvety mass 
of blossoms. Growing only nine inches tall, 
it is ideal for solid low borders, and unex¬ 
celled in small flower arrangements. Drought 
resistant.35c 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. 
CANTERBURY BELLS—New Annual Type. 
Blooms from seed in six months, growing two 
to two and one-half feet tall, with six to eight 
bloom spikes per plant. 
Angelus Bell —Deep rose. 25c pkt. 
Bluebell —Light blue. 25c pkt. 
Liberty Bell —Deep violet blue. 25c pkt. 
Mission Bell —Clear, soft pink. 25c pkt. 
Mixture —Of the four shades above, and 
white.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 May. .15c pkt. 
COSMOS Early Klondyke Orange Flare — 
Grand Gold Medal Winner in Seedsmen’s 
All-American Selections for 1934. Will bring 
its bright vivid blooms to regions where or¬ 
ange cosmos have been practically unknown 
due to late blooming habit, and will give a 
much earlier blooming elsewhere than do the 
older types. Flowers in less than four months 
from planting. 
In addition to its early blossoming, this re¬ 
markable new cosmos is outstanding because 
the less abundant, light green foliage pre¬ 
sents a much better mass of bloom than do 
the older types.25c pkt. 
DAHLIA SEED —Dahlias, grown from seed, 
make ideal “perennial annuals,” as they 
bloom from seed the first year and repro¬ 
duce themselves from bulbs thereafter. SAL¬ 
BACH Large Flowering, SALBACH Single, 
and SALBACH Pompon Dahlia seed de¬
