NASTURTIUM, Double Sweet-scented Gleams. 
“Orange Gleam”—The finest since “Golden Gleam”. 
Identical in habit to its parent, differing only by its 
entirely new, deep glowing golden orange color with 
deeper shading at the center. Pkt. 25c. 
“Moon Gleam”—Not up to the standard of doubleness 
and size of “Orange Gleam”. We list it in spite of 
this because it is a light golden cream in daylight, a 
creamy-white under artificial light. This may not 
convey visions of beauty to you, but when used with 
its lush, rich green foliage in a low table arrange¬ 
ment, it is supreme. Pkt. 15c. 
NEMESIA, “Navlet’s Dwarf Giants.” 
Unrivalled among annuals for late spring and sum¬ 
mer show. A plant for massing beyond compare. 
This strain in our opinion is the “cream” of them 
all. Every desirable characteristic of size of indivi¬ 
dual florets, 1 to 1inches across, compactness of 
flower heads, very uniformly dwarf habit, plus a 
profusion of bloom which completely obscures the 
untidy stems characteristic of the species. All of the 
bright colorings to be found in the tall growing 
“Suttoni” strain, plus many arresting bi-colors and 
new shades. Pkt. 15c; Y$-oz. 75c; (4-oz. $1.25. 
PANSIES, “Navlet’s Super Giants”. 
As the first to make a public exhibition of the 
Jumbo giant pansy in California some years back, 
we now present a Super Giant strain, running more 
uniformly to giants, and containing colors of a far 
more beautiful range. So far as we know, this strain 
produces the largest pansies grown. Pkts. 75c. 
PERUVIAN LILY (Alstroemaria) (HP, 3 ft.) Ma-S. 
Few realize that this very desirable plant, so at¬ 
tractive in the garden, and ideal for cutting (flow¬ 
ers keep in water about 10 days) may be grown 
from seed, with little care. Happiest in a loose, 
loamy soil. 
Chilensis Hybrids. Various shades of pink, rose, red. 
with yellow and crimson markings. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA, New miniature “Rose Gem”. 
A charming addition to the new miniature group of 
Petunias which was started with “Pink Gem”. Rose 
Gem is the color we have awaited. It is a rich deep 
rose, the same shade that has made the Bedding 
Variety “Rose of Heaven” so popular. The plant is 
neat and compact, five to six inches high and smoth¬ 
ered with rich rose colored blooms about two inches 
in diameter. Award of Merit, 1936 AAS. Pkt. 25c.

ling rose pink on a white ground. Very long, stout

ers in great profusion. Pkt..,20c. 
Shirley Temple (Early)*—Blooms the size and rich¬ 
ness of color of “Pinkie,” plus the dainty frilled and 
fluted flowers of “Lady Gay”—its famous parents.

they come regularly in fours to the stem. Four to six 
weeks earlier. Pkt. 25c. 
Springtime—Silvery-white overlaid with a flushing of 
rose, faintly tinged lavender which deepens toward

fined. Large, frilly, very robust and long-stemmed.
