AND PRECEDING YEARS 
SHASTA DAISY 
New Giant Double White 
This strain includes an assortment of 
various types of double flowers ranging 
from the most fully double fringed petaled 
sorts through semi-double, to a type which, 
though single, forms unusual and beauti¬ 
fully shaped flowers with laciniated, curled 
and quilled petals. The flowers are large 
and carried on long wiry stems. Pkt. 20c. 
GILIA 
Micrantha Fairy Stars 
(Grower’s Description) 
Exquisitely dainty, this little new Fairy 
Star Gilia is one of the most charming and 
attractive of all rockery and bedding 
plants. The plants are very neat and 
compact in habit, 6 to 8 inches high, ex¬ 
tremely free flowering, literally covered 
with dozens of the tiny daisy-like flowers 
in a riot of color. The color range includes 
all the popular pastel shades, rose pink, 
orange, yellow, cerise and cream, in a 
gay and star-like mixture. Fairy Stars are 
excellent for the very popular miniature 
bouquets now used so extensively. Pkt. 15c. 
GILIA 
*DIANTHUS LACINIATUS SPLENDENS 
(Grower’s Description) 
Free flowering and easily grown, the Dianthus fam¬ 
ily has for years furnished us with some of our most 
popular border subjects. One of the most recent addi¬ 
tions to this family is the sterling novelty Laciniatus 
Splendens, a variety which, in our opinion, is the most 
striking Dianthus we have ever offered. The flowers 
are very large, over two inches across, in a brilliant 
shade of crimson, with a largely boldly contrasting 
glistening white eye. Pkt. 15c. 
Liniflora White Swan—Bunch of Lilac 
(Grower’s Description) 
Introducing a new subject for cut flower use, Gilia 
Liniflora, a very easily grown, attractive annual. The 
plants are neat, upright and semi-compact in habit, 
12 to 15 inches high, covered with dozens of the 
dainty, single flax-like flowers which are borne on 
long stems. White Swan is snowy white, and Bunch 
of Lilac a clear lavender blue, both very popular 
florist colors. White Swan, Pkt. 15c; Bunch of Lilac, 
Pkt. 15c. 
' HUNNEMANNIA 
Semi-Double Sunlite. Award of 
Merit 1934 All America Selections 
(Grower’s Description) 
Sunlite, the interesting 1 new semi¬ 
double form of the Mexican Tulip 
Poppy which we introduced two 
years ago, might very well be de¬ 
scribed as a large growing Cali¬ 
fornia Poppy. The flowers some¬ 
what resemble the Eschscholtzia, 
as indeed the foliage does also. 
Since the stems are long and wiry 
and the flowers large and of an 
attractive tulip shape, they are 
especially fine for cutting, while 
the extra row of petals on the out¬ 
side, rather than inside of the cup, 
gives the flowers the appearance of 
being open at all times, rendering 
them valuable for garden use. The 
plants are of good habit, about 2 
feet in height, extremely free 
flowering, and remain in flower 
over a long period throughout the 
summer until frost. Pkt. 15c.
