high. Include Orange Shaggy among your annual plants for 1936

Dwarf Beauties Pansy 
This fine new strain is primarily for use on muck soils or where 
dwarf, compact plants are wanted. The plants, 3 inches dwarfer 
than Forbes Big Beauties, do not grow too large on muck soil. 
They have great vigor, bearing many flowers of huge size, often 
3F£ inches across, which come in the rich dark and bright colorings 
of the Big Beauties (see back cover). tjOz. 75 cts.; 3djoz. $1.25; 
34oz. $2.25; oz. $8. 
Dwarf Orange Tagetes 
These miniature, single, bright orange flowers 
literally cover the very dwarf plants through a 
long flowering period. A splendid plant for 
edging and well worth growing for plant sale.

Mlb. $2.50. 
This is the happy result of the pioneering work done by the Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station of the University of California, supplemented by the improvement 
and color development by leading California flower-seed specialists. By this im¬ 
provement many colors lacking in the original mixture, have been added. Promi¬ 
nent among these shades are the popular canary-yellow, rose-pink, salmon-pink, 
and white, nicely balanced with the usual run of red and orange shades which 
largely comprised the original University Mixture. This De Luxe strain is of the 
popular Majus grandiflorum type, growing 2J^ feet tall, with good-sized flowers. 
Extensive trials throughout the development of this remarkable strain have proved 
it to be 75 per cent rustproof. Trade pkt. 60 cts.; L6 oz - $1; M oz - $1.75; oz. $6. 
Two New All-Double Giant Fringed Petunias 
Dwarf Victorious Mixed 
Extra Dwarf Bright Amaranth-Red 
Beyond question this is the very finest strain 
today, producing 100 per cent double Petunias, 
chiefly of the Giant Fringed type. The smaller- 
flowering doubles do not exceed 22 per cent. The 
giant fringed flowers are huge, often 5 inches 
across, exquisitely ruffled and fringed, and come 
in a wonderful array of brilliant and fancy color¬ 
ings on 10- to 12-inch plants. Trade pkt. $1.75; 
1/256 oz. $3; 1/128 oz. $5. 
Martha Washington Petunia 
A new extra dwarf single ruffled variety. The 
plant grows about 9 inches tall and forms a per¬ 
fect ball effect, literally covered with lovely 
frilled or ruffled flowers about 3 inches in 
diameter. The color is quite remarkable; the 
frilled portion of the flower is a beautiful blush- 
pink and the center portion is strongly veined a 
rich wine-red, deepening in the throat, which is 
large, dark violet. It comes exceedingly true 
to color and type and is excellent for use as a 
bedding, border, window-box, or pot-plant. 
Trade pkt. 50 cts. 
Mixed Fantasy Zinnia 
This is the most fascinating new Zinnia so far 
developed. The rounded, shaggy flowers are of 
medium size and somewhat resemble a chrysan¬ 
themum. The graceful, ray-like petals are quilled 
and twisted—quite different from the usual 
formal Zinnia type. Plants grow 2 to 2J^ feet 
high and are very free flowering. 34 oz - 35 cts.; 
J|oz. 60 cts.; oz. $1.75; }4lb. $6.

100 per cent extra dwarf. The giant fringed flowers are 4 inches across and the 
plants 10 inches high. The attractive plants readily sell on sight. Trade pkt. $2.
