Supreme Quality 
Flower Seeds 
LARKSPUR (Continued) 
An important cut-flower both for greenhouse and outdoor culture. Mod¬ 
erate temperature and a moist soil are necessary to obtain good germ¬ 
ination. Seed frequently failing to start at all in hot weather. 
The Base Branching class, also known as the Imperial or Spiral, im¬ 
proves the original Stock-flowered in being somewhat longer stemmed. 
The Hyacinth-flowered type produces but one long non-branching flower 
spike. They do well on a raised or shallow bed where the growth can 
be hardened some, but on a deep ground bed, especially if grown cold, 
they produce hollow stems that break easily in handling. 
Three New and Valuable Introductions 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Cattleya. This is a late flowering, branching 
from the base habit (two to three weeks later than other sorts) 
which lengthens the flowering season. The color is a rich rosy lilac 
full double flowers that are closely spaced on four to five foot stems. 
Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural Society after trial 
at Wisley, England, 1934. Tr. Pkt.... 35c Oz....$1.75 Vi lb.... $6.00 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Dazzler is in full bloom seven to ten days 
earlier than any of the other varieties. The flowering spike is very 
long with closely spaced mammoth flowers of a vivid lustrous car¬ 
mine color. Dazzler will make an ideal florists' variety for earliness 
and its long flowered spike, also for the home gardener who loves 
grace and brilliancy. Tr. Pkt_35c Oz_$1.75 Vi lb_$6.00 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Sweet Lavender. A delightful shade of rich 
lavender blue, the flowers are very large, full double, closely spaced 
on a long flowering truss. Sweet Lavender is an outstanding new 
shade of great merit. Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural 
Society after trial at Wisley, England, 1934.

MARIGOLD 
Dixie Sunshine 
From the Land of Dixie to the gardens of the world comes this most 
modern, most charming and unique Marigold. Sensationally new and 
fascinating, the large ball shaped flowers are ingeniously composed 
of dozens of tiny five-petaled florets, gracefully interlocking, daintily 
fringed in effect. Brilliant golden yellow, 100% fully double, and but 
faintly scented with the characteristic Marigold odor, Dixie Sunshine 
is a ray of dazzling, pure beauty. Whether in the garden, on tall, 
bushy plants literally smothered with blooms, or when arranged for 
home decoration, the strong stemmed flowers are a constant Joy 
from August throughout the season until frost 
Tr. Pkt.25c Vi oz.75c Oz.$2.50 
Note—Dixie Sunshine was given an award of merit by All-America 
Council, 1935.
