NOVELTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS FOR 1935 
IMPROVED NEW GIANT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE 
Finest Mixed 
This wonderful Aster is a decided improvement over 
the old California Sunshine. The clear and beautiful 
colors are varying shades of Enchantress-pink, Apple- 
blossom, Deep Rose, Blue and Lavender. A dual-tone 
effect is obtained through contrasting light-yellow and 
blue centers. The outer or guard petals are somewhat 
loosely placed, creating an airy, lace-like effect which 
is altogether charming. 
The flowers measure four to five inches across, with 
heavy stems fully eighteen to twenty inches long. We 
strongly recommend its adoption in place of the older 
type, both for florists’ use and as a garden variety.

NEW ASTER 
Indian Summer 
We are fortunate in being able to introduce a new 
Aster of distinctly Crego type, the blooms measuring 4% 
to 5 inches in diameter. Its color is identical with the 
favorite Continental color. Cinnabar. The flowers are very 
double, with attractively curled and twisted petals. We 
recommend this as a worthy addition to the Crego col¬ 
lection. Pkts.. 15c.

tractive characteristic# of 
that outstanding Introduc¬ 
tion Orange Radio. It is 
our belief that this Calen¬

mous welcome by all grow¬ 
ers. Pkts.. 16c.

as a valuable cut flower 
for florists’ use and is now

New Double Sweet-Scented 
Nasturtium Golden Gleam 
Double Scarlet Gleam 
Double Gleam Hybrid 
Awarded Gold Medal at Atlantic City Flower 
Show, 1931. 
Selected for Trial at Wisley, 1932. 
These plants form a vigorous, large bush 
which throws out short runners, averaging 
eighteen inches. The flowers commence as soon 
as the plant nears complete development, and 
at the time it is in full bloom the entire plant, 
including the runners, is a blaze of color. The 
large, golden-yellow, scarlet, salmon and orange 
scarlet flowers average two and one-half to 
three inches across. They are borne on erect, 
stiff stems six inches in length. Consequently the 
flowers stand well above the foliage, an arrange¬ 
ment which adds immeasurably to the showy ap¬ 
pearance of the plant. 
When well grown the remarkable formation of 
the petals gives the flowers a fully double ap¬ 
pearance which is most attractive. An ordinary 
sized bouquet, when allowed to remain in a room 
for a short period of time, will fill the room with 
fragrance. 
Samples distributed among Botanical Gardens 
and Trial Grounds last season resulted in unan¬ 
imous proclamation of the value of Gleam Nas¬ 
turtium as an outstanding and worthwhile nov¬ 
elty. 
We predict a very happy demand for the 
season of 1935 and advise placing your order 
early to assure delivery.
