Unwin Dwarf Bedding Dahlias, Salbach 
Re-selections. One of the most outstanding 
of all recent seed offerings, being ideal for 
bedding, fine for cutting, and having a long 
blooming period. Unusually effective in the 
garden, as is evidenced by the universally 
favorable comment among many visitors 
who have seen the splendid display made by 
these bedding dahlias in our own experi¬ 
mental gardens. Recommended by Sydney 
B. Mitchell, considered the West’s leading 
garden authority, as one of the finest new 
things he has ever tried in his own garden. 
Single and semi-double flowers on plants 
twelve to twenty inches high. Good keepers, 
invaluable in small bouquets, and striking in 
the garden. Require little space and the 
best plants can be saved and increased from 
tubers for future seasons. Germinates easily. 
Blooms the first year from seed. Fifty (or 
more) seeds to packet. 
Dahlia hybridizing has always been one of 
our strong points, and Mr. Salbach has given 
this remarkable strain of dwarf dahlias the 
same personal attention that has gained him 
a ranking as one of the world’s foremost 
hybridizers of dahlias, gladiolus, and iris. 
We believe that our strain of dwarf bedding 
dahlias is now the finest in existence. 
Choice Selection, every seed from a fine 
plant. In mixture of autumn shades, peach, 
red, tan, scarlet, yellow, cream, rose, apricot 
and orange. Excelled only by our Special 
XXXX Mixture.25c pkt. 
Special XXXX Mixture — In the same 
colors as the Choice Selection, but gathered 
from our very finest, most floriferous plants. 
None better. 50c pkt. 
DELPHINIUM (Vetterle and Reinelt Strain). 
P. We again offer, exclusively, Frank Rei- 
nelt’s hand-hybridized delphinium strain— 
than which no finer can be had. The Vetterle 
and Reinelt delphinium exhibit was awarded 
first prize at the California State Fair, and 
again at the California Flower Festival, 1934. 
Those who have seen these remarkable 
tall, full-blooming specimens in our own and 
Sydney B. Mitchell’s garden will agree that 
we are in no way overestimating the quality 
of Reinelt delphinium seed, despite our most 
lavish praise. 
Plant as early as possible to assure a com¬ 
plete flowering the first blooming season, 
although planting even as late as November 
will give a good percentage of bloom the first 
season.

let colors.50c pkt.

add a distinctive touch to your garden.

large flower heads in pink, rose, scarlet and 
other shades.25c pkt. 
GODETIA Sybil Sherwood —New in color and 
habit, Sybil Sherwood sets a new standard 
as a garden godetia. The color is soft salmon 
pink, edged white, while the candelabrum¬ 
branching spaces the flowers most attrac¬ 
tively—a complete break from the ordinary 
bunch blooming growth of the single-flow¬ 
ering godetias. Most graceful when cut and 
blooms keep unusually well.25c pkt.
