A. S. & L. FLOWER NOVELTIES, Season of 1936—continued 
COREOPSIS Grandiflora—Double Sunburst. 
Much of the beauty of early summer gardens is 
due to the brilliant golden yellow of Coreopsis 
plantings. Sunburst is a pleasant change from 
the well known single form, retaining its beauty 
of color while augmenting its effect of brilliance 
through the doubling of petals. The double flow¬ 
ers are large, lMs to 2 inches across, deep golden 
yellow and are excellent for cutting as well as for 
garden decoration. The flowers are fine keepers 
and the plants are very easily grown. Pkt. 25c. 
GIANT DOUBLE SHASTA DAISY. This is a 
very decided departure from the Giant Single 
Alaska Shasta Daisy. The plants are vigorous 
and bloom profusely. This strain includes an as¬ 
sortment of various types of double flowers rang¬ 
ing from the most fully double fringed petaled 
sorts, through semi-doubles, to a type which, 
though single, forms unusual and beautifully 
shaped flowers with laciniated, curled and quilled 
petals. The flowers are large and are carried on 
long wiry stems. A very delightful perennial.

HUNNEMANNIA SEMI-DOUBLE SUNLITE. 
(All America Award of Merit 1934). Sunlite is an 
interesting new semi-double form of the Mexican 
Tulip Poppy. Since the stems are long and wiry, 
the large golden yellow flowers of an attractive 
tulip shape, are especially adapted for cutting. 
The extra row of petals on the outside, rather 
than the inside, gives the flowers the appearance 
of being open at all times. The plants are of good 
habit, about 2 feet in height, extremely free 
flowering, remaining in bloom from midsummer 
until frost. Pkt. 15c. 
LARKSPUR—Rosamond. (All America Gold 
Medal Selection 1934). Rosamond is a very fine 
variety of recent introduction which has been ad¬ 
mired and honored with awards wherever ex¬ 
hibited, unquestionably an outstanding Larkspur. 
It is two weeks earlier than other Stock Flowered 
varieties, giving a good cut before other lark¬ 
spurs are available. It is exceptionally uniform 
in height, the flowering spikes are long and heav¬ 
ily covered with fully double flowers, with in¬ 
dividual plants which are large and full, evenly 
and closely placed on the stems. The color is a 
refreshing pure deep rose. Pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD—Guinea Gold. This is without 
question, the most glorious and most lovely of all 
Marigolds. The plants are of strong growth, 
about 2V 2 feet tall, semi-double blooms, each one 
displayed on a fine long sturdy stem. The color is 
the richest, purest orange-gold imaginable. 
Pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD—Monarch Strain. (All America 
Award of Merit 1934). This has all the qualities 
which make up the ideal type of Dwarf French 
Marigold. The plants are dwarf, compact with 
very large, tight, double flowers in a wide range 
of color combinations of orange, bronze, yellow 
and mahogany. Because of its relative earliness 
and continuity of bloom it is excellent for bedding 
and borders. Pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD—Royal Scot. One of the most 
striking marigolds yet introduced. The large well 
formed double flowers are produced in abundance 
on plants 24 to 30 inches in height. The color is 
a bold combination of mahogany and golden sym¬ 
metrical stripes which radiate from the center of 
the flower. Pkt. 15c. 
Coreopsis Double Sunburst 
MARIGOLD—Dixie Sunshine. (All America 
Award of Merit 1936). Sensationally new and fas¬ 
cinating, the large ball-shaped flowers are in¬ 
geniously composed of dozens of tiny five petaled 
florets, gracefully interlocking, daintily fringed 
in effect. Brilliant golden yellow, 100% fully 
double. Seeds must be sown early to produce the 
maximum results. It is a ray of dazzling, pure 
beauty. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD—Yellow Supreme. (All America 
Gold Medal 1935). Heralded as a companion to 
the popular Guinea Gold. It is free flowering, 
compact and somewhat pyramidal in habit, 2 to 
2V 2 feet tall, bearing loosely ruffled, carnation 
flowered blossoms. The color is a light lemon 
yellow, and the flowers are somewhat larger than 
Guinea Gold. Ideal for cutting. Pkt. 25c. 
CLARK’S MAMMOTH BLUE MORNING 
GLORY. For some time there has been a de¬ 
mand for a true blue morning glory. This strain 
seems to fill this need. Clark’s strain is well 
known and widely used throughout the United 
States; being especially adapted to Eastern con¬ 
ditions. Flowers measure 3 Ms to 4 inches across, 
deep blue with white throat. A very profuse 
bloomer. Pkt. 25c.
