NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES—Continued. 
MARIGOLD, Fire Cross 
A single dwarf French that clearly improves Legion 
of Honor in being more compact in growth and freer 
and earlier flowering; light orange with brown cen¬ 
ter. We consider this the preferred variety for spring 
flowering in 3-inch pots. Valuable for combination 
boxes. Tr. pkt., 20c; 1 oz., 75c. 
MARIGOLD, Golden Ball 
Monarch strain. Golden yellow, medium size, comes 
90 per cent perfect round, double flowers; growth 
rather dwarf. Admirably suited to bedding purposes 
and should head the list of dwarf double strains. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; 1 oz., 75c. 
MARIGOLD, Harmony 
(New). Double dwarf French, crested golden yellow 
center with outer petals or collar maroon-red, sug¬ 
gesting a Scabiosa in form. Original and effective. 
The past season we have noted this 8-10 inches under 
Middle West conditions and up to 1 8-24 inches in 
California. We would say it will be found medium 
dwarf and valuable for bedding and boxes. Tr. pkt., 
25c; 'A oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.25.

MATRICARIA (Feverfew) 
Ball's Double White 
For cut flower purposes this distinctly improves the 
type generally grown from cuttings. The flowers are 
more solidly double, somewhat smaller, and stand 
handling better. Comes 98 per cent true to type 
from seed we offer. Seed crop frequently a total fail¬ 
ure and for this reason we suggest working up a stock 
from cuttings. Tr. pkt. only, 35c. 
PETUNIAS, "ALL-DOUBLE" Strains 
No longer any question about the value of this 
class. Varieties we offer with their percentage of dou¬ 
bles are from our outdoor trial ground reports of the 
past season. We find that the proportion of doubles 
runs 5-10 per cent higher when flowered in pots under 
favorable greenhouse conditions. 
All-Double "Victorious." A well balanced mixture of 
colors and a most popular variety. 68 per cent 
fully double, balance semi-double. Vz tr. pkt., 
$1.00; tr. pkt., $2.00; 1/64 oz., $6.00; 1/32 oz., 
$1 1 . 00 . 
All-Double "Pink Perfection." (World Beauty) . A 
very attractive shade of clear bright rose-pink. This 
is the lower flower in colored plate inside front cov¬ 
er. 61 per cent fully double, balance semi-double; 
no color rogues. Vz tr. pkt. only (500 seeds), 
$1.25. 
All-Double "White Glory." (Peony-flowered) . Though 
semi-double, the flowers are quite large, freely pro¬ 
duced and pure white except about 5 per cent that 
are attractively and lightly marked deep rose. An 
outstanding fine white Petunia for bedding. 62 
per cent large-flowered, balance medium size. Vz 
tr. pkt., $1.00; tr. pkt., $2.00; 3 tr. pkts., $5.00. 
Refer to Petunia page 9 for other double strains. 
PETUNIA, Flaming Velvet 
Rich velvety red, a new and distinct color in bed¬ 
ding Petunias. This is a break from General Dodds 
and has the same free flowering habit. One of the 
striking novelties of the year and gold medal winner 
in All-America trials. Tr. pkt., 40c; 1/16 oz., $1.25. 
PETUNIA, "Celestial Rose" 
Introduced by us to the American trade two years 
ago, this has become the standard deep rose bedding 
variety. Growth is quite compact and flowers of deep¬ 
er color than Rose of Heaven, that it improves very 
decidedly. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs oz., 75c; !A oz., $1.25; 
1 oz., $4.00; 2 ozs., $7.00. 
SALVIA SPLENDENS, "Firebrand" 
Our strain of this is produced for us by a European 
grower and according to our trial ground tests for 
several seasons it is the most valuable strain available. 
It is more dwarf by 3-4 inches than a good strain of 
"America" and fully three weeks earlier flowering. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; >A oz., 90c; 1 oz., $3.25. 
STOCK, Santa Maria 
We find this the best branching white strain avail¬ 
able because of its high percentage of doubles and 
extra vigorous growth. In our latitude Stocks of all 
classes can be sown to advantage up to February 20. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; 'A oz., $1.00; 1 oz., $3.50. 
SWEET PEA, Bonnie Briar 
(Summer Flowering) . We find this clearly improves 
Pinkie in depth of color—sparkling rose-pink. This 
should be considered noteworthy, for it represents the 
most valuable cut flower color. 1 oz., 20c; 4 ozs., 
60c; 1 lb., $2.25. 
MYOSOTIS, Ball's Early 
This is a valuable early flowering, rather dwarf 
strain for forcing. Clear blue with good stems under 
favorable greenhouse conditions. A January sowing 
will flower freely during early spring. Tr. pkt., 50e; 
’A oz., $1.50. 
The success of our business depends 
SWEET PEA, Josie 
(New Early Flowering). Extra large, attractive, 
fairly deep rose-pink. Extra long-stemmed. The 
coming variety in its class. Vz oz., 75c; 1 oz., $1.25; 
4 ozs., $4.00; 1 lb., $15.00.
