throughout the world, and the seeds come 
direct to us from the Diener gardens. Con¬ 
tains coppery red, mauve, salmon-rose, lilac 
pink, flesh pink, and many other new color¬ 
ings .50c pkt. 
PETUNIAS—Balcony or Pendula Type. The 
type highly recommended by Sydney B. 
Mitchell (Sunset Magazine garden consult¬ 
ant) for garden use because of their value 
in massing. Also most effective in window 
boxes. Abundant bloomers. 
Blue Wonder —A new introduction. A clear 
bright deep blue of better color and habit 
than any other blue variety. A full mass of 
solid blue color that does not fade in the 
sun. Not as spreading nor as tall as the 
average balcony type petunia, making it 
better for solid plantings. One of the most 
outstanding seed novelties of the year. 
.25c pkt. 
Ramona —A splendid new rose pink variety 
with a fine, strong color. Technically classed 
as among the nana compacta type but we 
list it with the balcony petunias, for it should 
be given the same garden treatment. Shorter 
growth than Blue Wonder, but still tall 
enough to get away from the “humpy” ef¬ 
fect of the average nana compacta varieties. 
.15c pkt. 
Alba (White) .15c pkt. 
Mixed —Including Blue Wonder, Ramona, 
and other varieties of white, rose, violet and 
other shades.15c pkt. 
SALPIGLOSSIS (Velvet Flower). One of the 
easiest of annuals to grow, and a most aristo¬ 
cratic and colorful plant. Trumpet-like flow¬ 
ers which bloom profusely and are excellent 
for cutting. In crimson, gold, black, violet, 
brown, blue, and other shades—mixed. 
.15c pkt. 
SCABIOSA, Annual (Pincushion flower, im¬ 
proved) 
Loveliness —An exquisitely beautiful large 
salmon pink variety which was given an 
Award Merit, R.H.S., 1931. By far the finest 
individual annual scabiosa.15c pkt. 
New Giant Hybrids— A splendid new strain 
of scabiosa which was next in line to Calen¬ 
dula Sunshine as the outstanding seed nov¬ 
elty for 1934 in the seedmen’s All-American. 
In blue, pink, rose, crimson and other colors 
mixed .15c pkt. 
SCABIOSA CAUCASICA (Blue Bonnet). P. 
New Giant Isaac House Strain —The finest 
scabiosa for Pacific Coast gardeners. Huge 
flowers, fringed and ruffled, in shades from 
lavender to dark blue.25c pkt. 
SCHIZANTHUS — New Sunset Hybrids. A well 
balanced blend, consisting of bright rose and 
carmine shades, each butterfly-like flower 
marked with gold or white. Two foot plants, 
covered with blooms. Fine for potting, mass¬ 
ing, or cutting. Easily grown.25c pkt. 
SNAPDRAGONS — Lammerts Rust-Proof 
Strain {Antirrhinum ). In offering the new 
rust-proof snapdragons, we make no claim 
that we are able to duplicate, as yet, the full 
long spikes of the finest non-resistant varie¬ 
ties now in commerce—but we feel that the 
strain we offer is the finest to be had, and 
we know that the general garden planting 
from these seeds will be much more satisfac¬ 
tory than plantings from non-resistant seeds. 
Being Research Associate in Genetics at 
the University of California, Dr. W. E. Lam¬ 
merts has combined a full academic back¬ 
ground with the practical viewpoint and 
aims of a seedsman to develop the strain 
which we offer. Every seed comes from a 
parent which has been tested by artificial 
inoculation, and as a result, we can guaran¬ 
tee a minimum of 75% rust-proof plants. We 
have reason to believe that seeds of this 
strain will produce a higher percentage of 
rust resistant plants than those of any other 
strain. 
We offer this remarkable development in 
full color mixture, and in separate colors 
as follows:

graceful filler for cut-flower arrangements.
