EIGHT NEW NOVELTIES . . . 
you will want in your garden 
New SWEET PEAS Giants 
Pink, Orchid and Yellow Shades 
Our ALL AMERICAN COLLECTION would not be 
complete without the most popular of all flowers; there¬ 
fore, it has been our aim to include an outstanding 
selection of Sweet Peas. 
Great effort has been made to carefully consider 
variety, color and size in making up our packet, and 
we have chosen the giant waved, early flowering Sweet 
Pea. This variety is unusual in loveliness, with its 
ruffled, graceful blooms carried on long stems and 
produced on vigorous, strong vines. The pastel shades, 
including pink, orchid and yellow, have been selected by 
one who has made a life study of color combinations. 
Your garden will not be complete without the beauty 
and fragrance they will lend. Per pkt., 20c; 1 oz., 75c. 
New CALENDULA Chrysantha 
Chrysanthemum Flowered 
To justly appreciate the Calendula Chrysantha, one 
must not class it as an ordinary type. When we were 
first informed that this new development had material¬ 
ized, our reaction was, that another Calendula was to 
appear, wfith perhaps, another row of petals or possibly 
a tone different in shade. However, we were repaid for 
our willingness to have it presented before forming any 
definite opinion. 
The name Calendula Chrysantha is well adapted to 
this large flower, of a cheerful, exquisite shade of 
buttercup yellow, and it is an outstanding addition to 
the horticultural world. The loosely arranged petals 
droop to give the lovely rounded and graceful appear¬ 
ance found in our favorite chrysanthemums. Its strong, 
stiff stems make the blooms well fitted for cutting, and 
combined with bachelor buttons or blue delphinium one 
may produce a lovely combination. Per pkt., 25c; 14 oz., 
$ 1 . 00 . 
New ASTER Los Angeles 
Super Giant 
This giant sized Aster has been so magnificently 
developed that it hardly seems possible to improve upon 
it. The blooms range up to seven and eight inches in 
diameter and are a veritable overflow of pure shell pink 
petals, which curl and intertwine in artistic fashion, 
producing a feathery effect. 
The plant breeder, unlike the architect who designs 
his creations, puts his efforts into the hands of nature 
where he must leave them to be rewarded now and then 
with a super creation, such as this Super Giant Los 
Angeles. 
Flower lovers will find this long stemmed, symmetri¬ 
cal, yet artistic and graceful Aster an added delight in 
flower arrangements, for never before has this delicate 
pink been produced in large varieties of blooms. 
Per pkt., 25c; 14 oz., $1.50. 
New GAILLARDIA 
Burgundy 
A distinctive perennial, flowering from seed the first 
year. The copper scarlet colored flowers combine 
pleasantly with the soft green foliage. Here is a most 
valuable border or bedding plant since luxurious growth 
is obtained with ease in common garden soil. Because 
of its dark-toned flowers, often three to four inches 
across, long stems and cool-appearing foliage, Gaillardia 
Burgundy is entitled to a definite place in your home 
as a cut flower. Per pkt., 25c; 1/8 oz., 75c. 
New COREOPSIS Double 
What an improvement this variety is over the semi¬ 
double of a few years ago. A double that has not lost 
a bit of the grace and beauty this flower has always 
possessed, producing almost a continual supply of 
worth-while yellow flowers that are readily adaptable 
to most any type of floral arrangement. It combines 
admirably with almost any shade of blue that is avail¬ 
able. Give it a trial for it is not particular as to soil 
or location. 
New SALPIGLOSIS Velvety Red 
The predominating velvet effect found in all colors 
of this flower is particularly evident in the dark red. 
This color so rarely found in flowers is so rich and 
velvety that one might think Velvet ffower is a more 
appropriate name. 
Perhaps somewhere there is a cloth maker who could 
produce a velvet of the color and texture of this 
marvelous flower but we defy him to weave into his 
material the intricate gold veining these marvelous 
creations of nature display. Its petunia shaped flowers, 
borne on long stems suitable for cutting, make it one 
of the unusual flowers that can be easily grown. It 
should be sown where it is to grow and be disturbed as 
little as possible if one is to have success with a 
minimum amount of effort. Per pkt., 25c; 14 oz., 75c. 
Royal Purple —A solid deep purple in color, free 
from all veining, distinct from all other self colors 
in Salpiglossis. Per packet, 25c. 
New CANTERBURY BELLS 
Annual Mixed 
We have all wished for a Canterbury Bell that would 
not occupy the ground for so long before it flowered. 
Few of us ever believed that there would ever be any¬ 
thing different from the old fashioned, much admired 
variety. Well, here it is. An Annual, when planted from 
seed, loads itself with flowers in less than five months, 
in colors the same as the biennial type, including the 
various shades of blue, pink, rose and white. By making 
successive plantings all through the early spring, we 
can have these lovely flowers all summer and early 
fall. Per pkt., 25c; 1/8 oz., $1.00. 
liberty Bell— A new color in this variety, being 
an intense violet blue. Flowers from seed in less 
than six months. Per packet, 25c. 
Angelus Bell— A beautiful art shade of deep rose. 
One of the most attractive colors we have ever seen 
in Canterbury Bells. Per packet, 25c. 
New PETUNIA Pink Gem 
The Pink Gem is being introduced for the first time 
and we expect it to be one of the most important 
novelties of this year—growing in a small well formed, 
compact plant—six inches in height and eight inches in 
width—covered by an abundance of blooms which grow 
two inches in diameter. We could not recommend any¬ 
thing that would form a more charming mat of color. 
The well informed gardener is advancing with the 
times and is becoming color conscious. What could be 
more effective in a color scheme than this lovely Pink 
Gem and the Ageratum Blue Cap? 
We recommend this novelty for borders, window 
boxes, pots, rock gardens and for bedding. 
The seed for this new production is limited to a small 
supply. We suggest that you place your orders early in 
order to avoid disappointment. Per pkt., 25c; 3 pkts., 60c.
