NEW CALCEOLARIA "Indian Prince" 
This is a new color selection from the popular Multiflora Nana strain, 
retaining the fine dwarf, free-flowering habit. The color is a rich dark 
scarlet with an orange suffusion, a color that will contrast richly with 
the new Golden Tiger of the same class. Particularly recommended for 
Mother's Day blooming. Tr. Pkt. $1.00 
CALLIOPSIS DRUMMONDI 
"Gold Crest" Semi-Double 
(Annual) 
This is a big improvement over the old Golden Wave. The color is a

New Mammoth Flowering 
COSMOS "SENSATION" 
EXCEPTIONAL FOR CUT FLOWERS 
Given an Award of Merit by "The All-America Council," 1935 
Following is an excerpt from The Florists' Review, issue of November 
1, 1934. 
"A new Cosmos, called 'Sensation,' is on display this week at the store 
of the American Bulb. Co. The variety is remarkable for the size of 
flower—about four inches across—and its early-blooming habit. The 
flowers were cut ten weeks after sowing the seed in open ground, and 
the grower stated the large blooms came without disbudding." 
Mr. O. J. Olson of Holm and Olson, the well-known retailers and grow¬ 
ers, of Saint Paul, Minn., says of "Sensation Cosmos": "It is a dandy. 
Much larger than any cosmos we see later in the season. We have 
found them good sellers and believe it is quite a big acquisition to the 
cutflower trade."

ACROCLINIUM 
New Large-Flowered Double Hybrids 
(Annual) 
It is a gala occasion when the florist discovers a flower variety, entirely 
new and different, which sells on sight. Such a variety is this new 
Acroclinium, so greatly improved over the old variety that they can 
scarcely be recognized as members of the same family. The double 
flowers are extremely large, at least twice the size of the ordinary 
strain, on 12 to 18 inch stems, which are borne freely over a long 
flowering period. The range of color is most remarkable, being espe¬ 
cially rich in shades of salmon, apricot, pink, rose and cerise, with 
white and creamy tones to balance up the pastel mixture. While some 
of the flowers have a light eye, the majority are enhanced by a boldly 
contrasting dark center. No florist or market grower should be with¬ 
out these New Large Flowered Double Hybrids.
