COREOPSIS GRANDIFLORA DOUBLE—SUNBURST 
Much of the beauty of early summer gardens is due 
to the brilliant golden yellow of Coreopsis plant¬ 
ings. There is nothing that can take its place at 
that time of the year, when yellows are so scarce. 
Large, deep golden yellow flowers and excellent for 
cutting as well as for garden decoration. Flowers 
are fine keepers.Package $ .15 
THE AZTEC BEAN 
It is one of the largest beans known. It grows in 
bush form, just like the Lima Bean, and is peren¬ 
nial in places where it is not too cold or too frosty. 
It grows like any other bean, but stands a great 
deal of drought. Its flavor is unexcelled. Dry beans 
can be cooked just like Lima Beans. It is very pro¬ 
lific, and we recommend anyone who raises beans 
to give it a trial. Late frost in spring will not kill 
the young vines.

Dear Sir: You will be pleased to hear that for the second 
year in succession I have won first prize in both the Open 
and Amateur section for an exhibit of single Petunias at 
our Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Show; these were 
grown from your seed. 
I grow largely for exhibition and am advertising your 
seed extensively among my horticultural friends, so please 
give me the best possible deal. 
Yours faithfully,

Dallas, Texas, November 11, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Please send the enclosed order. Check enclosed 
for $6.50. I had excellent success with your seed last year. 
They were satisfactory in every way. 
Yours very truly, 
HUDSPETH GREENHOUSE. 
CUCUMBER SEED "SENSATION" 
This cucumber has proved to be the most valuable 
variety for forcing under glass and in hotbeds, as 
well as for outdoors. In a greenhouse with a tem¬ 
perature of 70 degrees the fruit reaches the length 
of 12 inches in one week and is a deep green color. 
One plant will bring from 270 to 300 perfect fruit in 
one season. In order to get more fruit from a vine, 
never allow any of the fruit to ripen on the plant; 
as soon as they reach their full size, pick imme¬ 
diately.

Directions for Planting Cucumbers in Green¬ 
house.—The best way to raise cucumbers in the 
greenhouse is to make a ground bed of horse ma¬ 
nure three feet high, packed as hard as possible, 
which has been moistened well when packed. Put 
over this one foot of good, old rotten manure or hot 
bed soil with a little sand mixed together with the 
manure. Then plant one row of young cucumber 
plants, preferably from 3-inch pots, about four feet 
apart, two plants to the spot, the two being about 
six inches apart. (The two plants are planted to¬ 
gether so that if something happens to one there is 
always another plant to fill in the space.) The vines 
should be run over wide meshed wire netting which 
should stand 45 degrees. The vines should not be 
tied so when the manure settles there should be 
plenty of play. Otherwise the plants would pull out 
of the soil. 
If fresh horse manure is not available, leaf mould 
with plenty of cow manure mixed will do. It must 
be at least three feet high in the bed and the tem¬ 
perature never under 70 degrees at night. 
CUCUMBER "GERMAN 
DELICATESS" 
One of the best cucumbers for outdoor growing. 
Has a very small core for seeds and is of fine flavor. 
Very quick growing and immensely free bearing. 
Very hardy against disease.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 22, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Mr. Diener: Your Petunia seeds were 100 per cent 
and germinated to that degree. Surely the best one could 
buy. 
We followed your directions exactly as to soil and we 
had the most beautiful blossoms, admired by everyone. 
Yours very truly, 
MRS. W. C. CAINE.

Hamburg, New York, April 3, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Received the Pelargonium “Santa Barbara," 
and it came through in fine shape; the extra packing did 
the trick. Thank you so much for your trouble. The many 
years I have been handling your seeds have been happy 
ones because I always have something that the other fel¬ 
low doesn't have. I am enclosing 25 cents, hoping this will 
help repay charges on the plant you sent. Again I want to 
thank you for your trouble. 
Very truly yours, 
EARL P. WRWAY.
