8 All-American Annuals 
All-American Flower Selections 
For Your 1935 Annual Flower Garden 
What the “All-American” Means. For the past three years, the All-American Selections Committee, of 
the American S«ed Trade Association, has been conducting trials of all new varieties of flowers submitted by 
plant breeders from all over the world. These trials are located in ten widely scattered test gardens from the 
Atlantic to the Pacific, in the charge of experts. By voting on the merits of each variety in each location, 
the best possible judgment of merit can be obtained and all articles bearing the name “All-American,” in 
this catalog have passed the test of these judges. We recommend that you try as many of them as you can, 
for it is the new things in your garden that add so greatly to its interest. Mr. Bradley has worked very 
closely with members of the Committee, so this project is very close to The T.emplin-Bradley Co.

Larkspur, Rosamond 
IManthus, Laciniatis Splendens 
All-American 1935 Certificate of Merit. The highest 
award ever given to any flower by the All-American Selections 
Committee. This rust proof “Snap” is the result of years of 
intensive work by our growers in conjunction with the Uni¬ 
versity of California. This strain is more than 75% rust proof 
after being put through the most rigid tests, under condi¬ 
tions that were created in every way to try and produce rust 
on the plants. If your Snaps have been subject to rust, try 
this new strain this year and grow wonderful flowers with 
healthy foliage. Best Antirrhinum Colors Mixed. Pkt. 25c. 
427 Calendula, Orange Shaggy 
All-American 1935 Gold Medal. Orange 
Shaggy is a very distinct new break in 
Calendulas. The petals are long and deeply 
fringed or laciniated. Rows of these long 
fringed petals overlap each other in a rather 
irregular fashion and build up a bloom with a 
shaggy appearance. These blooms have great 
grace and beauty, the color is deep orange, 
shading to a lighter orange in the center, 
giving the flower a two-tone effect, the 
stems are long, and the plants 18 inches high.

514 Celosia, Flame of Fire 
Pyramidalis. All-American 1935 Special 
Mention. The picture at the left shows the 
fine pyramidal form of this attractive new 
Celosia which grows 18 to 20 inches tall, 
carrying large flame-colored plumes on the 
top of the plant. It is quite branching, each 
branch having a proportionately sized plume. 
Every plant grows to the exact size and 
shape, making it desirable and effective for 
a border planting. Each plant looks like a 
“Flame of Fire.” Pkt. 25c. 
626 Cosmos Orange Flare 
Klondyke. All-American 1935 Gold 
Medal. Orange Flare is one of the 
most talked of and admired novelties this 
year. The color is a vivid orange, and the 
foliage is a soft light green which gives the 
plant a mass of gorgeous color. The stems 
are long and wiry and the plant grows 3 to 4 
feet tall. It is much earlier than most Cos¬ 
mos, trials show it to be in full flower in less 
than four months after planting, from late 
July until frost. See Orange Flare in Color

687 Dianthus, Laciniatus Splendens 
All-American 1935 Special Mention. 
Free flowering and easily grown, The Di¬ 
anthus family furnishes us with one of the 
most popular border plants. This new Lacin¬ 
iatus Splendens is the most striking Dianthus 
yet produced. The flowers are very large, 
more than 2 inches in diameter, in a brilliant 
shade of crimson, with a large boldly con¬ 
trasting white eye. See cut at left. Pkt.

1270 Larkspur, Rosamond Ameri¬ 
can 1934 Gold Medal. Also granted an 
Award of Merit by the Royal Florticultural 
Society of London. Rosamond is the most 
distinct Larkspur to be introduced in many 
years. It is two weeks earlier than other 
Stock-Flowered varieties. It is of uniform 
height, and the plants bear good spikes 
covered with fully double flowers. The color 
is new, a pure deep, rose self-colored. Indi¬ 
vidual florets are large and closely placed on 
the stems. Pkt. 15c; J /g oz. 40c. 
All-American 1935 Gold Medal. This new 
Marigold is the result of years of careful 
breeding. It is similar to “Guinea Gold" but 
of a pure lemon-yellow color, fully Carnation- 
flowered, nearly 3 inches across, quite early 
and a very profuse bloomer. For better de¬ 
scription, see natural color on page 2.

scarlet Uieam Gold Medal 1935 
Scarlet Gleam when grown in a large space 
has been likened to a huge fiery carpet. It is 
the most intense dazzling scarlet, plain 
petaled, deep throated, with individual petals 
at least twice the size of ordinary Nastur¬ 
tiums. The doubleness is caused by an over¬ 
lapping of the smaller petals toward the cen¬ 
ter of the flower. Scarlet Gleam is equally 
useful and beautiful, for both garden use and 
for cut-flowers. Pkt. 25c ; J/g oz. 40c. 
1438 All-American 
Uolden Gleam Gold Medal 
1933. This wonderful Nasturtium produces 
great quantities of beautiful large flowers, 
often measuring 2J^ to 3 inches across. They 
are so sweet-scented that a bouquet of them 
will fill a room with fragrance. The plants 
are vigorous and bushy, with rich green fol¬ 
iage and bloom throughout the summer and 
fall. For best results, Golden Gleam should 
not be over watered. Growing a bit dry is . 
preferable. Pkt. 10c; V 2 oz. 25c. 
1440 All-American 
Gleam Hybrids Award of Mer¬ 
it 1935. The flowers are fine large, sweet 
scented doubles, of the same type as Golden 
Gleam and Scarlet Gleam. The habit of 
growth is the same, with semi-dwarf plants 
throwing short runners from well rounded, 
free flowering bushes. The stems are long 
and the foliage a lovely green. The color 
range includes an evenly balanced blend of 
the glorious assortment of brilliant shades of 
salmon, golden-yellow, orange-scarlet, cerise, 
cream-yellow, orange, maroon, crimson and 
many spotted varieties. It is a Glorious Mix¬ 
ture. Pkt. 20c; Vg oz. 30c.
