New Dianthus Laciniatus 
Splendens 
EXACUM AFFINE 
"ATROCOERULEUM" 
This is a beautiful counterpart to the light mauve flowering species 
"affine", which is well-known as a most useful pot plant. Numerous 
small dark lavender flowers with golden yellow stamens contrast 
wonderfully with the light green leaves. Seedlings sown January- 
February flower in June and continue uninterruptedly until the autumn. 
To obtain the best results, plant two plants in each pot. Rich soil of 
leaf mould and turfy loam in equal parts with some sand added is most 
suitable for its cultivation, which from the end of March must be car¬ 
ried out either in a cold frame or a well ventilated greenhouse with the 
minimum of shade. Exacum affine is a fragrant and charming indoor 
plant. As a cheap market plant it is worthy of notice. This new Exa¬ 
cum harmonizes wonderfully well with most of the red and pink Begon¬ 
ias in made up combinations and the plants stand the heat equally well.

NEW DIANTHUS LACINIATUS 
SPLENDENS 
SPECIAL MENTION 1935 ALL AMERICA SELECTIONS 
The most striking Dianthus we have ever offered, Splendens has been 
considered worthy of Special Mention by the All America Council. Free 
flowering and easily grown, the Dianthus family has for years furnished 
us with some of our most popular border subjects. Neat and compact 
in habit, bearing generous quantities of its large, sweet scented single 
flowers of brilliant crimson, with a boldly contrasted glistening white 
eye. Splendens has but few equals as an edging plant or for use in 
the very popular miniature bouquets now enjoying such a vogue.

ERIGERON 
(PERENNIAL) 
DOUBLE "AZURE BEAUTY" 
(Raiser's Description) 
This novelty attracted so many of our visitors to Kelvedon last year that 
stock was exhausted soon after the issue of our General Catalogue. 
It has been selected from Merstham Glory, which will be remembered 
as a semi-double variety of great merit, and although Azure Beauty 
varies in form a little from seed, the average duplication is more in¬ 
tense than in its parent. In fact, when first the flowers open they are 
practically fully double, and not an "eye" can be seen. 
The plant reaches a height of about 2V2 feet and 1 is extremely florifer- 
ous. Azure Beauty is an ideal subject for the Herbaceous border, an 
attractive cut flower, and a novelty which warrants a place in every 
Seed Catalogue. 
It is very hardy, and sown in March or April will flower the following 
spring. Tr. Pkt.35c 3 Tr. Pkts.$1.00 
FUCHSIA HYBRIDA 
DOUBLE DWARF EARLY FLOWERING MIXED 
The seeds have been gathered from compact, early, richly flowering 
varieties which have been crossed with one another. Seed sown in 
January or February will flower at the end of June and continue until 
the autumn. The plants produce from 85 to 90 per cent double blooms 
with white, lilac, pink, light and dark blue corollas. Raising these 
Fuchsias from seed gives very good results and is to be highly recom¬ 
mended. Tr. Pkt.50c
