The descriptions a 
Rust-Proof Snapdragons 
The introduction of the New *Rust-Proof Snapdragon should be welcome 
news to the gardener who finds the Snapdragon among his garden favorites. 
It will be a joy to see these plants with their clean healthy foliage free from 
rust. 
*Rust is that disease which causes a burned or blighted appearance on the 
foliage. 
PINKIE. This is a very early flowering strain; it is especially fine for green¬ 
house forcing, as well as for general garden use. It is of the tall and robust 
growing type, producing numerous fine cutting spikes of large, well-spaced 
florets, of a delightful shade of pure clear rose. Will come about 90 per cent 
rust-resistant. Pkt., 25c. Special packet, 75c. 
Calendula, Frilled Beauty 
Although similar in appearance to 
Calendula Orange Shaggy intro¬ 
duced last year, Frilled Beauty is 
actually quite distinct from it. The 
flowers are large and full, complete¬ 
ly double, with good stiff petals 
which are semi-rounded in appear¬ 
ance. Stems are long and fine for 
cutting. The color is a deep orange.

Dianthus Superbus, 
Loveliness 
Stately and magnificent in habit 
of growth, yet delightfully charm¬ 
ing and informal in flower form, 
this new garden Pink is one of the 
finest of the newer cut flower va¬ 
rieties. The plants are 12 to 15 
inches tall, of good branching habit 
and very free-flowering. The shag¬ 
gy appearing, finely fringed flowers 
of delicate rosy lilac are highly 
sweet-scented and measure from 
lJ/£ to 2 inches across. They are 
fascinating in the garden, and ex¬ 
quisitely dainty in flower arrange¬ 
ments. Pkt., 20c. Illustration, see 
page 23. 
Dianthus, Little Jock 
Hybrids 
Not more than 6 to 8 inches high, 
the compact plants produce a multi¬ 
tude of prettily fringed flowers, 
about an inch across, in varied tints 
of pink, rose and white, mostly with 
a deep zone, and quite 50 per cent of 
them are double. Pkt., 35c. 
Dianthus Winteri 
Striking new pinks awarded first 
class certificate by Royal Horticul¬ 
tural Society of England. The flow¬ 
ers are of bold form, pure colors, 
habit compact, and flowers first year 
from seed, deliciously scented, ideal 
rock plants, quite hardy. Pkt., 25c. 
Cornflower, Jubilee Gem 
Jubilee Gem is a dwarf variety of 
Cornflower making a compact plant 
literally covered with flowers. It 
has foliage distinct from all other 
Cornflowers, forming a tufted 
mass of vivid green, contrasting 
well with the dark but vivid dou¬ 
ble blue flowers. The plant is 
about 12 inches in height. Pkt., 
25c. 
Dahlia, Zulu Strain 
These are black leaved dwarf dou¬ 
ble hybrids, with flowers of various 
shades of crimson and scarlet, en¬ 
lightened by a few orange golden 
and lilac blooms. The plants are 
compact but vigorous, each flower 
born on a very strong straight stem. 
Will prove a very effective bedding 
strain. Pkt., 35c. 
Cornflower, Jubilee Gem. 
Coreopsis, Double Sunburst 
Much of the beauty of early summer 
gardens is due to the brilliant golden 
yellow of Coreopsis plantings. There 
is nothing that can take its place at 
that time of year when yellows are so 
scarce, and when variations in the type 
are produced, they are welcomed glad¬ 
ly. Sunburst is a pleasant change from 
the well-known single form, retaining 
its beauty of color while augmenting 
its effect of brilliance through the dou¬ 
bling of petals. The double flowers are 
large, \]/ 2 to 2 inches across, deep gol¬ 
den yellow, and are excellent for cut¬ 
ting as well as for garden decoration. 
The flowers are fine keepers, and the 
plants are very easy to grow. The 
strain is remarkably true, coming 80 
per cent double, as illustrated. Pkt., 
20c Special packet, 60c. 
Dianthus, Roysi 
One of the finest. Cushions of silvery 
foliage covered in summer with un¬ 
usually large rosy blossoms. Pkt., 25c.
