RECENT NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES for 1935 
Calendula 
CHRYSANTHA (Sunshine). The large, double flowers are an exquisite shade of 
clear buttercup-yellow, with long, loosely arranged petals which droop to give the 
rounded appearance found in our favorite Chrysanthemums. Besides adding a 
bright golden splash of color to the garden, Chrysantha is a fine cutting variety, 
with long, stiff stems, well adapted to combine with blue flowers in bowls or vases. 
Shown in color on page 36. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
ORANGE SHAGGY. A very distinct new break in Calendulas. The closely set petals 
are long and deeply fringed or Iaciniated, giving the flower the shaggy appearance of 
some Chrysanthemums, and sharply contrasting with the rather formal aspect of 
most other varieties. The color is a rich orange, shading lighter toward the center, 
and the flowers are freely borne on long stems of good cutting length. Their informal 
shape adds greatly to their effect as a decorative cut-bloom, and as a garden plant 
this new Calendula will also render excellent service. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Chrysanthemums 
CASCADE. A new race of half-hardy, perennial Chrysanthemums which flowers 6 
months from sowing of seeds. It is very easily grown in pots or in the open ground, 
a fine cut-flower, and a showy pot-plant. The colors are vivid and include scarlet 
crimson, bronze, orange-yellow, white, etc. This variety makes an admirable green¬ 
house subject, falling, as it does, in cascades of beautiful flowers. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
large pkt. 75 cts. 
MAXIMUM (SHASTA DAISY), NEW 
GIANT DOUBLE WHITE. Large, 
double white flowers, about 5 inches in 
diameter, very much resembling a giant 
aster with long, loosely arranged petals. 
The long, stiff stems make them valu¬ 
able as a cut-flower. Will bloom in 5 
months from time of sowing. Pkt. 25 
cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
New Early Cosmos, 
Klondyke, Orange Flare 
The sensational novelty of the year. 
Now, at last, we may grow the lovely 
orange-colored Cosmos and be assured of 
having flowers before frost. In most parts 
of the country this brilliant-hued flower 
is practically unknown because of its late- 
flowering habit. The color is the same 
vivid orange as the ordinary Klondyke 
and it will bloom in less than 4 months from 
time of sowing. The foliage is much less 
abundant, giving a plant which is a mass 
of color. The stems are long and wiiy, 
well adapted for cutting. Shown in color 
on front cover. Pkt. 25c.; large pkt. 75c. 
Chrysanthemum maximum 
New Giant Double White Shasta Daisy 
Dahlias 
UNWIN’S DWARF HYBRIDS. The 
graceful, semi-double flowers of these 
new Hybrids are borne very freely and 
embrace a very wide range of color, 
those of no two plants being exactly 
alike. Though primarily intended for 
bedding purposes, they make very fine 
cut-flowers, blooming from June until 
frost. They are very easily grown from 
seed and bloom within 3 to 3jb£ months 
from time of sowing. May be planted 
as close as 18 to 20 inches apart, rarely 
exceed 24 inches in height and require 
no stakes. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50c. 
DOBBIE’S NEW ORCHID-FLOW¬ 
ERED. A Single Dahlia of new and 
entirely distinct type. Of medium size, 
its peculiar form of petals, which curl 
over toward their centers, has given rise to its name. A wide range of both bril¬ 
liant and soft colors are almost bewildering in their variety and blending, while the 
reverse of the petals is distinct from the ground-color, and often the petals are fluted 
and pointed. Pkt. 35 cts.; large pkt. $1. 
Calendula, Orange Shaggy 
Hunnemannia, Sunlite 
A double-flowered Poppy which is different. Its extra band of petals is produced on 
the outside rather than the inside of the tulip-shaped flowers, giving the impression of 
being open, even after the cuplike blossoms have closed for the night. The flowers are a 
bright canary-yellow, and the foliage of the 2-foot bush is a light gray-green. It likes a 
sunny position in a well-drained border and flowers freely in late summer. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
large pkt. 75 cts. 
Dianthus laciniatus splendens 
A striking addition to the popular Annual Dianthus. The flowers are very large— 
over 2 inches across—in a brilliant shade of crimson, with a large, boldly contrasting 
glistening white eye. Easily grown, they flower profusely on neat, dwarf, compact plants. 
Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Exacum affine atrocaeruleum 
Exacum affine atrocaeruleum 
Beautiful greenhouse pot-plant growing 9 inches high. The sweetly scented, small, 
dark lavender flowers with golden stamens contrast wonderfully with the light green leaves. 
Biennial; flowering within 6 months from sowing. Pkt. 35 cts.; 3 pkts. 90 cts.
