PUDOR’S DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST 
NASTURTIUM DOUBLE SCARLET GLEAM (Bodger) Ever since the intro¬ 
duction of Golden Gleam in 1931, interest has run high in anticipation of new 
colors in the double, sweet scented Gleam type of nasturtium. In introducing 
to our customers Scarlet Gleam this year we are giving the first answer to 
this demand for additional colors. 
Those who have seen Scarlet Gleam growing, enthusiastically proclaim it 
even more intensely dazzling in color than the showy Golden Gleam. The 
flowers are a fiery orange scarlet, a color comparable to the brilliance of 
Scarlet Sage, or seeing a row of the plants one might visualize a showy border 
of scarlet geraniums. The individual blooms are of an immense size, almost 
three inches across, much larger than any nasturtium ever known. The sweet 
fragrance is more pronounced, and the double flowers more uniformly well 
formed. The foliage is the same lush green characteristic of Golden Gleam, 
and the contrast of the large, double, fiery orange scarlet flowers above their 
cool restful green leaves attracts and holds the eye at once, while the ease 
with which they can be grown under almost any conditions will make Scarlet 
Gleam the most popular all around annual. 
The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short runners from a well rounded 
free flowering bush, with long wiry stems bearing the numerous flowers well 
above the foliage, which gives the effect of a solid mass of color. 
NASTURTIUM DOUBLE GLEAM HYBRIDS (Bodger.) With the introduction 
of these Gleam Hybrids the flower w T orld is enriched by an advance in the 
forward progress of the plant world. As the Dahlia Flowered Zinnias in 1924 
tolled the death knell of the single Zinnia, Double Gleam Nasturtiums in 1934 
are the fountain head from which will issue the flower of tomorrow in the 
Nasturtium family. The hybrids are a collection of gorgeously colored, large, 
well formed flowers of such dazzling beauty that the mind hesitates to credit 
the evidence of the eyes. Colors certainly never dreamed of before in a double 
nasturtium abound in profusion—glorious flowers of salmon, golden y 4 ellow, 
orange scarlet, cerise, cream yellow, orange, crimson, and gold flushed scarlet 
combine with the foliage of fresh green. They thrive under almost any cul¬ 
tural conditions, and this factor, combined with the brilliance of their colors, 
assures Gleam Hybrids of a universal popularity. 
The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short runners from well rounded free 
flowering bushes. Stems are long, and bear the flowers well above the foliage 
of the plant. In the garden or for cutting no flower could be more lovely.

THE NEW LARKSPUR STOCK FLOWERED “ROSAMOND” 
This is the striking new larkspur which was introduced last year but were 
forced to withdraw from sale early in the season as we were soon sold out. It 
was awarded a gold medal in the all-American Selections for 1934 and has occa¬ 
sioned enthusiastic comment by all who have seen it. 
There are three points on which Rosamond is outstanding. The color is new 
and distinct, a pure bright rose which has been entirely lacking in larkspurs up 
to this time. It is somewhat deeper than the old variety Bright Rose, which fades 
so badly, while this one has that rare quality of holding the pure rose color until 
out of flower. It is two weeks earlier than other stock flowered varieties, giving 
a good cut before other larkspurs are available. It is exceptionally uniform in 
height, 4 feet tall, with numerous good spikes heavily covered with the fully 
double flowers. “Rosamond” should be in every garden next season. Price: */2 oz. 
$1.25; *4 oz. 70c; Vs oz. 40c; per pkt. 25c. 
LARKSPUR GIANT IMPERIAL BLUE BELL. New. (Special mention, all-Amer¬ 
ican Selections 1934.) Blue Bell is a fine medium blue larkspur deeper than 
Sky Blue, a color up to this time lacking in the giant imperial type. The 
habit is decidedly upright, with long basal branched flowering spikes, well 
adapted for cutting. Price: V 2 oz. 65c; % oz. 40c; Vs °z. 25c; per pkt. 15c. 
CHINA-ASTER, “LOS ANGELES” 
This is the largest and most fully double aster known. It received an Award 
of Merit last year. The flowers are from six to eight inches across, of the inter¬ 
lacing ostrich feather type. The color is a lovely soft shell pink. The plants reach 
a height of two and a half to three feet with six to eight long stems. For those 
who want the finest aster yet developed, we heartily recommend Los Angeles. 
Seeds: V6 oz. 60c; 1/16 oz. 35c; per pkt. 25c.
