soft art shades. The colors range as follows: salmon with white 
eye, deep salmon with cream eye, apple blossom, soft rose with 
white eye, light blue with white eye, pale violet with white eye, 
light mauve with cream eye, rose with white eye and many other

CAVALCADE 
Rich brilliant orange scarlet, a most attractive variety. The 
large flowers are fully Begonia double, rich and beautiful and they 
lend admirably for floral arrangements.

POPPY, YELLOW WONDER 
(Papaver Nudicaule Amurense) 
1936 NOVELTY 
ALL AMERICA WINNER 
This new Iceland Poppy is undoubtedly the finest and largest 
flowered variety to date. The flowers are a bright buttercup yellow 
with a lighter center, 4 to 6 inches across; splendid for cutting. The 
flower stems are often more than 2 feet long. The plant is of robust 
habit and free flowered with as many as 30 flowers in bloom at one 
time. Although a perennial it will flower from seed the first season 
if sown early. We predict that this Iceland Poppy will prove one 
of our choicest garden perennials.

EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER

large table center arrangement. Large flowers, usually fours, on 
stems 14 to 16 inches long. 
Pkt., 25c.; $1.00 per oz.; oz., $3.00. 
SEQUOIA 
An enormous rich golden cerise color and so frilled and wavy 
are its wide-spread wings that unless one looks closely he mistakes 
a single flower for two; petals have a tinge of russet. Free flowering 
and a strong vigorous grower. 
Pkt., 25c.; $1.00 per oz.; oz., $3.00. 
VIOLA GRACILIS, NORMANDIE 
1936 NOVELTY (Hurst)

and free flowering habit. Splendid for the rock garden.

ZINNIA 
SCABIOUS FLOWERED MIXTURE 
Among the oddest and most attractive Zinnia forms developed, 
the Scabious flowered type deserves to be more widely grown and 
better known than at present. The flowers somewhat less than 
medium sized, bear a remarkable resemblance to the annual 
Scabiosa, from which they get their name. The color range in¬ 
cludes all choice 'hades. Height 2 to 2% feet. 
Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per large pkt.
