Digitalis (Foxglove) 
GLOXINIAFLORA. [hP-3 ft.] Much of the quaint charm of an 
old fashioned garden is created by stately spires of Foxglove. 
Their long spikes are crowded with large thimble-shaped blossoms 
beautifully spotted on the exposed interior surfaces. They are or¬ 
namental subjects for naturalizing among shrubs or in the back¬ 
ground of a hardy border. 
Rose—White—Mixed. Pkt., 10c. 
Erinus 
[hP-R-4 in.] A crevice in a wall or a semishaded spot in the 
rock garden may be made gay in late spring by planting this 
spreading Alpine. Tidy rosettes of leaves hug the rocks while 
countless tiny spires of white and purplish-violet blossoms rise 
above them. Alpinus Mixed, pkt., 25c. 
Eschscholtzia 
CALIFORNIA POPPY. [hA-12 in.] California glories in this, its 
state flower, and today it is planted everywhere. It blooms pro¬ 
fusely all summer. The plants grow in tufts, and the blue-green 
foliage is very lacy. The long tapering buds expand into hand¬ 
some saucer-shaped blossoms. We specialize in these flowers. 
AUTUMN GLORY. The flowers are very large and double. The 
outside of the petals is brilliant orange-crimson, and the inside is 
coppery orange. They are beautifully frilled. Pkt., 10c. 
EXTRA GOLDEN (The True California Poppy). A robust strain 
with flowers of rich, pure gold coloring. Pkt., 5c. 
RAMONA. A charming variety with frilled single flowers of a 
copper-gold color, shading to pink. Pkt., 10c. 
SUNLIGHT. A long stemmed plant with many gorgeous flowers 
of pure canary yellow. Pkt., 10c. 
WHITE. Rich, satiny white. Pkt., 10c. 
3IIXED. A delightful combination of vivid colors. Pkt., 10c. 
Geranium 
PELARGONIUM. [tP-2 ft.] Geraniums are usually propagated 
from cuttings, but they are also readily grown from seed which as¬ 
sures the only means of discovering new varieties. Reds predomi¬ 
nate, but soft tints of pink, rose, and white are frequent. In a 
northern climate the plants should be taken indoors before frost. 
/ON ALE. Very free blooming with exquisite 
zoned and variegated leaves. Pkt., 10c. 
GERBERA (Transvaal Daisy). [tP-18 in.] Pkt., 25c. 
GEUM. [hP-2 ft.] Double Scarlet. Pkt., 10c. 
GILIA. [hA-2 ft.] Tricolor. 
Gloxinia 
[tP-10 in.] Properly these gorgeous plants are 
house or conservatory subjects, but with a little care 
the flower lover can grow them. Dark green, plush¬ 
like leaves form a handsome base topped by nume¬ 
rous stalks of large trumpet-shaped flowers. These 
are of velvety texture and rich colors, including 
purplish-violet, crimson, pink, and lilac, usually with 
light throats beautifully spotted. The plants grow 
best in cool surroundings and rich moist soil. 
HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA MIXED. Pkt., 5c. 
GODETIA (Satin Flower). [hA.] Mixed Pkt., 10c. 
GLOBE AMARANTH (Gomphrena, Everlasting). 
[hA]. Pkt., 10 c. 
GOURDS [hA-C-12 ft.] All kinds. Pkt., 10c. 
GYPSOPHILA (Baby’s Breath). These airy plants 
are almost devoid of foliage, but their extremely 
delicate, well branched stalks produce a charm¬ 
ing misty effect in the garden. They bear numer¬ 
ous tiny blossoms. They will thrive almost any¬ 
where. 
ELEGANS LARGE FLOWERING WHITE (Paris 
Market). [hA-2 ft.] An improved strain with single 
large pure white flowers. Sow at intervals to main¬ 
tain a supply throughout the summer. Pkt., 5c. 
PANICULATA DOUBLE WHITE. [hP-3 ft.] Supe¬ 
rior to the older hardy sorts, producing graceful 
sprays of tiny rose-shaped flowers. Very desirable 
for cutting. Still unfixed, but produces a good pro¬ 
portion of doubles. If cut before the flowers are 
fully open, sprays of this variety can be used to 
give a mist-like appearance to winter bouquets. 
Pkt., 25c. 
HELIANTHUS. (See Sunflower.) 
Helichrysum 
STRAW FLOWER. [hA-2% ft.] The finest of all 
Everlastings for the home garden. They are very 
handsome when growing in the open and make un¬ 
usually fine winter bouquets if cut when partially 
opened and dried slowly in a cool place, heads down¬ 
ward to keep the long stems straight. The centers 
of the double pompon-like flowers are nearly cov¬ 
ered by the stiff overlapping petals. They come in 
a wide range of brilliant and soft colors. 
Buttercup Fireball Rose Queen 
Copper King Golden Ball Mixed 
Any of above. Pkt., 10c

Four O’CIock 
MARVEL OF PERU, TALL. [tP-2 ft.] Treated 
as an annual, this thrifty family produces plants 
suitable for growing as a hedge or as a low screen 
along a fence. The green of the leaves is relieved by 
a succession of brilliant buds and salver-shaped 
flowers in a fine range of colors. The flowers have 
an interesting habit—they opq.n in the late after¬ 
noon, remain expanded all night, and close again the 
next morning in the heat of the sun. They bloom 
from mid-summer to frost, and their roots may be 
stored over winter and replanted the following 
spring. Red, striped. Pkt., 10c. Mixed, pkt., 5c. 
Foxglove (See Digitalis). 
Gaillardia 
BLANKET FLOWER. Tones of orange, yellow, 
red, and maroon, often beautifully combined in a sin¬ 
gle blossom, make these flowering plants gay orna¬ 
ments of the garden all summer long. The foliage 
of soft green combines well with the flowers. The 
blossoms are 2 to 3 inches across. Both the annuals 
and perennials are favorites for the border. 
SINGLE PICTA MIXED [hA-18 in.] Large daisy¬ 
like blossoms of yellow 
and bronze with central 
cones of yellow. 10c.
