Nasturtium 
Double Scarlet Gleam 
A beautiful rich Scarlet Double 
Nasturtium that was awarded a gold 
medal in the All American Flower 
Selection for 1935. Differs from 
Golden Gleam in that the petals are 
not so much fluted; the double ap¬ 
pearance being caused by an over¬ 
lapping of small petals toward the 
center. The throat of the flower has 
a tendency to show, which gives it a 
semi-double appearance. Height 15 
ins. Pkt. 20c; Vi oz. 45c. 
Nasturtium 
Glorious Gleam Hybrids 
The lovely double flowers of this 
new hybrid are well formed and sweet 
scented. Received an award of merit 
in the 1935 All American Selection, 
and should become very popular on 
account of the color range, which in¬ 
cludes brilliant shades of salmon, 
golden yellow, orange scarlet, cerise, 
creamy yellow, orange maroon, and 
crimson. Height 15 ins. Pkt. 15c; Vi 
oz. 40c. 
Calendula—Shaggy 
Calendula 
Orange Shaggy 
A new and distinct Calendula—and 
a Gold Medal winner in the All Ameri¬ 
can Flower Selection for 1935. The 
flowers have long, deeply fringed 
laciniated petals, which gives them a 
shaggy appearance. The color is deep 
orange, with a light orange center, 
producing a pleasing two-tone effect. 
The most graceful and unique Calen¬ 
dula yet introduced. Height 15 ins. 
Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. 85c. 
Marigold 
Guinea Gold 
A distinct type of graceful pyra¬ 
midal habit. Guinea Gold produces a 
compact plant literally covered with 
blossom often measuring 2Vz ins. 
across that somewhat resemble a large 
carnation. The color is a brilliant 
golden orange_, and quite free from 
the usual Marigold odor. Height 2 ft. 
Pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 50c. 
Klondyke Cosmos—Orange Flare 
Klondyke Cosmos 
Orange Flare 
While not a new variety, Orange 
Flare received a gold medal in the 
All American Flower Selection for 
1935. It is an early flowering strain 
of Klondyke, with the same vivid 
orange color, but the attractive light 
green foliage is less abundant. 
Blooms in less than four months 
from seed, and the plants grow about 
3 ft. high, and when in full bloom, 
are a mass of color. The stems are 
long and wiry, and well adapted for 
cutting. Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. $1.00. 
New Zinnia 
Fantasy 
While this new and strikingly at¬ 
tractive Zinnia received only an 
Award of Merit in the All American 
Flower Selections for 1935, many 
persons are of the opinion that it is 
the most striking Flower Novelty 
for 1935. The medium size chrys¬ 
anthemum-like flowers are composed 
of shaggy ray-like petals that are 
borne on long stems. They come only 
in mixture, but cover a wide range 
of color from the brightest red and 
orange to the popular pastel shades of 
pink and cream. Height 2 ft. Pkt. 25c; 
Vi oz. $1.25. See illustration page 75. 
New Zinnia 
Desert Gold 
No description can do justice to 
the dual tone beauty of this aristo¬ 
crat among Zinnias. Desert Gold com¬ 
prises the light and deeper hues of 
gold found in the Crown of Gold Mix¬ 
ture, and the flowers are equally ef¬ 
fective in day or artificial light. The 
plants grow from 2 to 2% ft. in height, 
and produce a generous quantity of 
large, well formed flowers. Those who 
appreciate fine Zinnias will welcome 
Desert Gold. Pkt. 15c; Vi oz. 75c. 
Antirrhinum 
New Rust Proof Snapdragon 
After many years of experimenta¬ 
tion at the University of California 
with “rust” in antirrhinums, we are 
happy to announce the introduction of 
a Snapdragon of the Majus Grand 
type that is seventy-five per-cent rust 
resistant. We can only offer it this 
season in mixture, but in a wonder¬ 
ful range of colors, and every lover 
of Snapdragons should give this new 
strain, with its healthy foliage free 
from rust, a trial. We predict that 
this rust-proof strain will become one 
of the most popular flowers in Amer¬ 
ica. Height 2 ft. Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. $2.50. 
Marigold—Yellow Supreme 
Marigold 
Yellow Supreme 
A gold medal winner in the 1935 
All American Flower Selection, and a 
splendid companion to the popular 
Guinea Gold. Of the carnation flow¬ 
ered type, and the beautiful fragrant 
dazzling lemon-yellow flowers with 
broad loose frilled petals remind one 
of a huge carnation. The flowers 
measure 3 ins. in diameter, and are 
unsurpassed for cutting, as they re¬ 
tain their freshness for several days. 
Height 2V 2 ft. Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. $1,25.
