COREOPSIS GRANDIFLORA 
DOUBLE SUNBURST 
(PERENNIAL) 
Much of the beauty of early summer gardens is due to the brilliant 
golden yellow of Coreopsis plantings. There is nothing that can take 
its place at that time of year when yellows are so scarce, and when 
variations in the type are produced, they are welcomed gladly. Sun¬ 
burst 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 flowers are large, 1 V 2 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 easy to grow. The strain is remarkably true, coming 80% double, 
as illustrated. Tr. Pkt.25c Vi oz.60c Oz.$2.00 
NEW DAHLIA 
SALBACH'S IMPROVED UNWIN 
Unwin's Dwarf Bedding Dahlias are already firmly established in popu¬ 
lar favor. The latest development will most certainly surpass previous 
strains in beauty of form and value in bedding. 
In most characteristics they closely resemble the older race of Unwin's 
Hybrids. Reaching 24 inches in height, they are of pretty habit, ex¬ 
ceedingly free-flowering, and carry their blooms stiffly erect on wiry 
stems, well above the foliage. The main difference lies in their petal 
formation, which is partly curled; they are perhaps more accurately 
described as semi-quilled. As can be well imagined, this most effec¬ 
tively enhances their great lightness and charm. 
The color range is exceedingly wide, and they come remarkably true to 
name and form. This strain of dwarfs is very precocious, blooming 
about 3 V 2 months from the time of sowing; from late summer until the 
first severe frost, they give a truly wonderful display and provide ex¬ 
ceptional cutflowers and pot plants. Finest mixed colors.

DIANTHUS 
NEW DOUBLE SWEET WIVELSFIELD 
(PERENNIAL) 
But If Sown Early Will Bloom First Season 
A sensational plant—a great improvement on the original Sweet Wiv- 
elsfield, which proved such an enormous success when sent out by us 
some four years ago. 
Double Sweet Wivelsfield is a bold, full flower of widely varying shades 
of color, from scarlet to pink. The flowers last much longer in the beds 
and also as a cutflower it is very worthwhile. Growers in England are 
greatly impressed, and it will undoubtedly be one of the best selling 
novelties for 1936. Tr. Pkt.50c 
NEW DIANTHUS DELIGHT 
This is a hybrid between Dianthus 
Sweet Wivelsfield and Dianthus Roysii. 
The growth of the plant is about 9 
inches high and like a glorified Dian¬ 
thus Roysii. A neat erect habit of 
growth which is continuous flowering 
out of doors from June until October, 
producing flowers about half an inch in 
diameter, not in trusses, but in alternat¬ 
ing spikes in great profusion. 
There is a bewildering range of colors 
from the palest pink down to the deep¬ 
est purple, the predominating shades 
are velvety rich reds, many having the 
eye of a Sweet William, there is usually 
a definite color at the reflex of the petal 
like Dianthus Roysii, and the magenta 
shades are very subdued. Dianthus 
Delight is an easy growing plant which 
will stand many degrees of frost. 
Choice for cutting. Tr. Pkt.75c
