tel shades, pinks, rose, cream, and white, as well as some of the darker 
colors for balance. Exhibited as a pot plant this new Schizanthus cre¬

NEW SCHIZANTHUS 
SUTTON'S PANSY-FLOWERED (DANBURY PARK STRAIN) 
The following is Sutton's (England) description: "This new type of Schi¬ 
zanthus, which we had the pleasure of introducing in 1932, has become 
very popular. The large smooth-edged Pansy-flowered blooms are re¬ 
markably substantial, while the rich self-colors in all shades of pink, 
crimson, mauve, and purple, as well as white, are extremely bright and 
attractive. The plants included in our Exhibit at the Chelsea Show in 
May last were very much admired; for this display we were awarded 
the Sherwood Cup for the Most Meritorious Exhibit in the Show, and the 
Royal Horticultural Society's Gold Medal."

NEW STATICE SINUATA 
"MARKET GROWER'S BLUE" 
Blue statices are of interest to every market grower of flowers, and it 
was their importance to the cutflower trade that led us to pay particu¬ 
lar attention to the selection of an ideal blue variety. 
We have reached our aim in "Market Grower's Blue," and are confident 
that any of our customers who grow this particular strain will be more 
than satisfied. 
The color is the deepest possible blue, but retains the necessary bright 
ness to make it ideal for market. The plant is strong and free-flowering, 
but keeps that comparative compactness of habit which is one of the es 
sentials of a good market stock. Tr. Pkt.35c Oz.$2.00 
NEW DOUBLE FLOWERING PRIMULA 
OBCONICA "PORTLAND BEAUTY" 
(See Illustration) 
A double flowering Primula Obconica has been long sought for by plant 
specialists and we are glad to say that such has now been accomplished 
by an American grower. Ernst Eriksson of Riverside, Ill., and J. Sylves¬ 
ter of Oconto, Wis., both high class pot-plant growers, tell us that this 
new Primula has a great future. Shades of dark pink, lavender pink, 
and rose pink mixed. Since same seeds sparsely and the supply is 
limited, early orders will have first call. Tr. Pkt. (About 500 seeds).$1.50

SCABIOSA FISCHERI 
A fine new border plant from Manchuria, hardy and truly perennial, 
growing about 20 inches high with handsome divided leaves and flow¬ 
ering well into the autumn. The flowers are about IVi inches in diame¬ 
ter, borne on long stiff stems, and are of a rich deep violet-blue shade, 
unlike that of any other Scabious. This handsome plant, about 2Vi feet 
high, will make an excellent addition to the herbaceous border, and 
furnish first-rate material for cutting. Award of Merit, R.H.S., 1935.

THE GIANT SCABIOSA 
"ISAAC HOUSE HYBRIDS'* 
(Perennial) 
The list of good cutflowers at any particular time of the year is never 
too long and in midsummer it is often indeed abbreviated. Take into 
consideration, too, the modern trend for variety and the always-present 
desire for something different and the commercial producer of cut flow¬ 
ers cannot aford to miss anything of merit in his line. For these reasons 
and others he will do well to look into the merits of the so-called Giant 
Scabiosa, "Isaac House Hybrids." 
Flowers very large and of beautiful form, ranging in color from light 
azure blue and lavender to deep blue and silvery white. This class is 
also valuable for forcing. For this, lift field plants and store in a cold 
frame, starting them in a cool house after Valentine's day. Though an 
earlier crop can be had if planted out around mid-January.
