As you stroll through any attractive garden, those flowers of exceptional beauty or those 
which are not commonly seen will always gain most admiration. These garden prizes are not 
more difficult to grow than the usual varieties, but are not so generally available. We offer 
in this group some select strains of well-known flowers and some available this year for the 
first time. All of these will bring much joy to your flower-garden. 
Wilt-resistant Branching Aster 
Ageratum, Blue Cap 
This is the best dwarf Ageratum yet offered. The flowers 
are larger than Little Blue Star and of a deeper and richer 
blue color. Its foliage is small, the 6-inch plants form¬ 
ing miniature domes, which makes it ideal for pot-cul¬ 
ture. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Arctotis, Mixed Hybrids 
The most striking of the newer introductions from 
South Africa. The showy daisy-like flowers, 234 to 
3 inches across, come in orange, terra-cotta, red, yellow, 
carmine, and coppery rose. It is excellent as a border 
plant, 12 inches in height. Thrives in the driest position 
in the garden. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Arnebia cornuta 
This, the Arabian Primrose, is an extremely pretty and 
easily grown annual, 2 feet high, bearing a wealth of sunny 
yellow flowers spotted with dark brown when they open. 
It likes a limed soil. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Aster, Wilt-resistant Branching, Mixed 
This new strain will successfully solve your past difficulty in growing these beautiful fall flowers. 
Many have had to abandon all attempts to grow Asters because of wilt. This strain, developed 
from plants which through several years of production under severe wilt conditions have survived 
unscathed, makes Aster culture possible again. The very large, many-petaled, fully double flowers 
have won many prize awards at flower shows. Pkt. 15 cts.; 3^8oz. 35 cts. 
Aster, Giant California Sunshine 
Plants of this new giant race grow 3 feet high and 
bear blossoms on long, stiff stems admirable for cutting. 
The half-double flowers, 4 to 6 inches across, exhibit 
the grace and beauty of the single Aster, enhanced 
by a golden yellow cushion center of tiny quills, 
contrasting with the outer petals. They come in a 
glorious range of soft colors. Mixed, pkt. 25 cts. 
Calendula, Orange Shaggy 
This distinct break in the Calendula family is 
the most graceful form yet developed and will be 
a great favorite for cutting. The flower-heads 
are made up of a large number of deeply Iacini- 
ated petals, this feature giving the effect of 
shagginess. The color—rich orange-yellow— 
provides a bright accent for the garden. Orange 
Shaggy is one of the All-America Gold Medal 
Winners for 1935. Pkt. 15 cts.; 34° z * 35 cts. 
Cosmos, Orange Flare 
This, the most talked-of and most admired flower 
novelty for 1935, gives a new color for outdoor Cosmos. 
The pale green, feathery foliage plants bear a mass of vivid 
orange bloom in four months from seed. Fine long stems 
for cutting. Pkt. 15 cts.; 3 / 8° z - 45 cts. See in color inside 
back cover.
