GERMAIN'S J7Ve(ir SPECIALTIES 
^A€ter PENTSTEMON Cut-Flower Strain 
MINIATURE HYBRIDS MIXED 
Because of its long and continuous flowering habit the 
wufornia Pentstemon has long been one of the most popular flowers 
mi' in our gardens. The New Miniature Hybrids are splendid 
for this purpose, lending themselves to bedding and border 
use, where their uniform growth and variety of colors make a 
wonderful display. It is, however, in the way they retain their 
flowers after cutting that they are far superior to all former types, 
making their tall, graceful spikes closely set with brilliant, 
tubular flowers most useful and attractive for cut-flower decora¬ 
tion in the home.

ZINNIA Double Miniature 
MIDGET MIXED 
These tiny flowered Zinnias have a charm the larger ones 
wufornia can never attain. The smaller flowers lend themselves 
W to bedding and make a brilliant display, owing to their 
abundance of bloom, and have stems long enough to make 
fine bouquets for small vases and bowls. Germain’s Midget 
Zinnias contain many small flowered varieties with pointed petals 
and double or semi-double flowers in attractive color combina¬ 
tions, such as red tipped gold, salmon and gold, primrose yellow 
with a hundred unusual intermediate shades.

ZINNIA Mammoth 
QlRMAIHi 
CALIFORNIA 
CROWN O’ GOLD MIXED 
This, to us, is the most artistic of all the mammoth flow- 
_ia ered Zinnias. The novel bicolor effect has delighted all 
10VFIP who have seen it. Each flower is in fact two-toned, the 
base of each petal being marked with a heightened or 
deeper shade than the flower itself. This contrast lends greater 
richness and variety to the splendid range of colors in the strain. 
The flowers are large, double, and well formed, on good cutting 
stems generously produced on plants which reach a height of 254 
to 3 feet. For a richer zinnia border plant Crown O’Gold 
Zinnias.

JA%ar COSMOS ORANGE FLARE 
EARLY FLOWERING KLONDYKE 
Trials of this new Cosmos in Eastern States have caused 
a world of enthusiastic comment. The fact that Orange 
Flare is in full bloom less than four months after the time 
it is planted has brought an entirely new flower to the 
gardens of America, for the original type (Klondyke) produced 
its flowers so late in the fall that it was seldom seen except in the 
most southernly part of our country. 
The orange color in Orange Flare is exceptionally fine; 
exactly the shade of a ripe orange. 
The bush is more compact than formerly and the large 
flowers mounted on long wiry stems are well adapted for cutting. 
We feel definitely that a beautiful and valuable new member has 
been added to the already very popular Cosmos family.
