LARKSPUR 
Giant Imperial (Improved Upright or Mammoth 
Column) 
The Giant Imperial strain of Larkspur has been so 
far improved over the old stock-flowered strain 
that comparison is scarcely possible. The upright 
habit and close placed basal branched laterals are 
a great saver of space for greenhouse and garden 
rows.

RUST-PROOF SNAPDRAGONS 
1935 Novelty 
("All Colors Mixed") 
Snapdragons have been badly affected by rust 
which has killed the plants and made them un¬ 
sightly. For the past several years several growers 
have worked on them for rust-resisting qualities 
and the ones we offer here are fairly rust-proof, that 
is 75 per cent.

AQUILEGIA LONGISSIMA 
Unfortunately, we had a crop failure with the 
Aquilegia Longissima and consequently no seeds 
are available. 
Springfield, Ohio, December 19, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Sirs: We used your Petunia seeds last season and had 
more success with them than we have had with any other 
Petunias we have sown. They germinated 100 per cent, and 
the Double Ruffled Monsters and Double Frilled came in 
more than 95 per cent double (an experience we have never 
had before). Please send the enclosed order. 
Yours very truly, 
THE HIGHLAND FLORAL CO.

New York City, New York, August 11, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Kindly send me your latest catalog. Your 
Petunias now blooming in The Bronx Botanical Garden are 
about the best I have ever seen. 
Hoping to hear from you, I am, 
Yours truly, 
KATRINE CHRISTIE, 
The Old Nursery of the Park Department.

Easton, Pa., December 18, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Please find order enclosed for Petunia seed. 
Last year I was persuaded to try some different Petunia 
seed much to my sorrow, as by no means did the plants 
come up to those grown from your seed in previous years, 
but we all live and learn, and as I have a nice trade in the 
spring, I did some explaining but I believe I have selected 
a good assortment to start with. 
Yours very truly, 
G. BETTERIDGE, Florist. 
GIANT IMPERIAL STRAIN OF LARKSPUR 
Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Sir: Enclosed you will find check covering the above 
order. 
Our previous order of this year was delivered to us at 
a time when the temperature was below zero. In spite of 
that the seed germinated nearly 100 per cent. This record 
has proven the strength and resistance of your seed this 
year. Yours very truly, 
THE HIGHLAND FLORAL CO.

Adair, Illinois, November 7, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: My Petunias this summer were marvelous. I 
never saw such beauties. I am ordering more of different 
kinds and a few other seeds. I am sure I will have success 
with them because they are Diener's. 
Sincerely, MRS. PEARL HOLLAR.

order in your favor in the sum of five dollars ($5.00), for 
which please mail us the seeds shown on attached list. 
The Petunias we bought from you last year have given 
wonderful results and were much admired by everyone

Nashville, Tennesse, June 1, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: The Petunia seeds I ordered from you earlier 
in the season were sowed according to your directions and 
I think every seed came up. They are nice large plants 
now, and growing wonderfully. Thank you for the tomato 
collection you inclosed. I also have nice plants from those 
seed. 
Very truly, MRS. FRANK L. ROSS.
