1936 Novelties and Specialties 
NASTURTIUM, DOUBLE GLEAM HYBRIDS 
The Hybrids are a collection of gorgeously colored, large, well-formed 
flowers of such dazzling beauty that the mind hesitates to credit the evidence 
of the eyes. Colors certainly never dreamed of before in a double Nas¬ 
turtium abound in profusion—glorious flowers of salmon, golden yellow, 
orange scarlet, cerise, cream yellow, orange, crimson, and gold flushed scar¬ 
let combine with the foliage of fresh green. Pkt. 15c., special pkt. 35c. 
NASTURTIUM 
DWARF DOUBLE GEM MIXTURE 
Composed of an evenly balanced range of cheerful colors on dwarf, 
compact, gemlike plants, is the ideal annual for border and edging use. 
The dwarf plants are covered with good-sized sweet-scented double flowers, 
Pkt. 25c. 
NASTURTIUM 
DOUBLE SCARLET GLEAM 
Those who have seen Scarlet Gleam growing, enthusiastically proclaim 
it even more intensely dazzling in color than the showy Golden Gleam. 
The flowers are a fiery orange scarlet, a color comparable to the brilliance of 
Scarlet Sage, or seeing a row of the plants one might visualize a showy bor¬ 
der of scarlet Geraniums. The individual blooms are of an immense size, 
almost 3 inches across, much larger than any Nasturtium ever known. The 
sweet fragrance is more pronounced, and the double flowers more uniformly 
well formed. Pkt. 15c., special pkt. 50c. 
Zinnias, Scabious-flowered 
PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
GIGANTEA ART SHADES 
PETUNIA, DAINTY LADY 
This Petunia is, to the best of our knowl¬ 
edge, the first really yellow Petunia. The 
plants are neat, compact and free flowering. 
Flowers are light golden yellow, delicately 
fringed. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA 
FLAMING VELVET 
Gold Medal winner. All-American Selec¬ 
tion, 1936. Very outstanding for color and 
type, being of the Hybrida type with very 
large flowers of a brilliant, velvety blood red. 
Height about 18 inches. Pkt. 25c. 
Nasturtiums, Dwarf Double 
Petunia, Dainty'Lady 
A new strain of Phlox drummondi with 
flowers 1^2 inches in diameter. In addition to 
its enormous flowers it has a most wonderful 
range of color in soft art shades. Pkt. 25c. 
ZINNIA, FANTASY 
A novelty of surprising charm, with 
splendid large blooms that will give a 
fine display in the garden and make a lovely 
bouquet. The flowers are well rounded. 
They are composed of a mass of shaggy, 
raylike petals which give it unusual charm. 
Pkt. 15c. ; special pkt. 35c. 
ZINNIA HAAGEANA 
MEXICAN HYBRIDS 
The small-flowered Mexican Zinnias have 
a charm all their own. The smaller flowers 
lend themselves to bedding and make a 
brilliant display and yet have stems long 
enough to make fine bouquets for small 
vases and bowls. The mixture contains 
many attractive colors and color combina¬ 
tions. Pkt. 15c., special pkt. 35c. 
ZINNIA 
SCABIOUS-FLOWERED 
Here is another unusual departure from the 
type as the flowers indeed resemble a Scabiosa 
more than the old-fashioned Zinria. They have 
a typical cushion composed of small flower 
petals in the center surrounded by longer and 
broader petals on the outside. The color range 
is most interesting and complete. Pkt. 15c., 
special pkt. 35c. 
CENTAUREA, CYANUS 
DOUBLE BACHELORS BUTTON 
A great improvement in Bachelor’s Button. 
The flowers are very large, fully double and 
colors intensified. Blue Boy, deep blue, and 
Pinkie, deep pink. Pkt. 10c.; Special pkt. 25c.
