Frilled Beauty. 
This new variety is 
one of the finest 
and although simi¬ 
lar to Orange Shag¬ 
gy, it is actually 
quite distinct from 
it. The flowers are 
large and full, com¬ 
pletely double, with 
good stiff petals 
which are semi- 
rounded in appear¬ 
ance, giving good 
body to the flower. 
Stems are long and 
fine for cutting, 
while the plants 
make a strong heavy 
growth. The color is 
deep orange. Pkt. 
20c; 3 pkts. 50c.

fully fine Early Sweet Pea as a gorgeous rich pink. It is considered one of the 
richest and most fascinating colors ever produced in Sweet Peas and its peculiar 
color tone is such that when used at night under artificial light it appears more 
beautiful than ever. The large blooms, four to a stem, are wavy and well spaced 
In rdl its beauty there is no Sweet Pea more vigorous, with stems long and stout 
and the plant is a very prolific producer of blooms over an unusually long flower¬ 
ing period. In every detail Exposition 
Pink is magnificent.

new California Poppy Is 
extremely large with 
fluted flowers of coppery 
gold on neat growing 
plants. They are very 
effective when used as a

MARIGOLD TAGETES SIGNATA PUMILA LITTLE GIANT— Little Giant Is 
the highest development yet attained in the development of a neat, dwarf, really 
compact strain of the Signata Pumila Marigold. It is very dainty, with slender 
fernlike foliage and an abundance of gay, single, deep orange flowers on plants 
which are only 4 to 6 inches high with a spread of 8 to 10 inches. To those who 
are seeking a dwarf compact edging plant of this sort, we heartily recommend 
Little Giant. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. 50c; 14 oz. 45c. 
VERBENA VENOSA —Lilacina, the new Verbena Venosa variety, has all the de¬ 
sirable characteristics of the older Venosa without the drawback of its less desir¬ 
able color. It Is a strong grower, about one foot in height, perfectly hardy, and 
very free flowering, being literally covered with its many delicate lavender blue 
flowers throughout the season. For bedding use or for cutting it is a welcome addi¬ 
tion to the verbena group. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. 60c. 
NEW ASTER—Giant California Sunshine —A very lovely Aster and considered by 
many the most beautiful Aster in the world. The large flowers are 4 to 5 Inches 
across, the outer petals somewhat loosely placed, creating a lace-like effect. The 
flowers show shades of Enchantress pink, apple blossom, deep rose, blue and laven¬ 
der, contrasting with the centers of either light yellow or blue, giving a dual tone 
effect which is fascinating. The plants are about three feet high and bear blossoms 
on long, stiff stems, much prized for cutting.
