This wonderful Aster is a decided improvement over 
the old California Sunshine. The clear and beautiful 
colors are varying shades of Enchantress-pink, Apple- 
blossom, Deep Rose, RLie nnd Lavender. A dual-tone 
eij.eci la obtained through, contiuoL.ng light-yellow and 
blue ^enters. The outer or guard petals are somewhat 
loosely placed, creating an airy, lace-like effect which 
ie altogether charming. 
The flowers measure four to five inches across, with 
heavy stems fully eighteen to twenty inches long. We 
strongly recommend its adoption in place of the old r 
type, both for florists’ use and as a garden variety.

NEW ASTER 
Indian Summer 
We are fortunate in being able to introduce a new 
Aster of distinctly Crego type, the blooms measuring 4 Vi i 
to 5 inches in diameter. Its color is identical with th • 
favorite Continental color, Cinnabar. The flowers are very 
double, with attractively curled and twisted petals. We 
recommend this as a. worthy addition to the Crego col¬ 
lection. Pkts.. 15c. 
COSMOS EARLY KLONDYKE ORANGE FLARE 
GRAND CHAMPION GOLD MEDAL 1935 ALL 
AMERICA SELECTIONS 
Granted th h.ghest honor that can be bestowed on 
a new flower variety in the United States, Orange Flare 
has proven itself worthy of this honor. The long 
stemmed flowers of bright vivid orange are freely borne 
on two to^ three foot, well shaped plants which have 
a sparse growth of light green foliage. Its most re¬ 
markable feature, however, is its early blooming habit. 
It will flower easily in less than four months from the 
time of planting. Pkt. 20c. 
CALENDULA— 
Golden Radio 
We have succeeded in 
introducing a golden Cal¬ 
endula containing all the 
attractive characteristics 
of that outstanding intro¬ 
duction Orange Radio. It 
is our belief that this Cal¬ 
endula, Golden Radio, will 
meet with the same unani¬ 
mous welcome by all 
growers. Pkt., 15c. 
NEW MARIGOLD 
GUINEA GOLD 
A distinct type of grace¬ 
ful, pyramidal habit, 
growing 2 to 2% feet high, 
and producing flowers 2 
to 2% inches across, of a 
brilliant orange with 
double ruffled, loose-lepf 
petals. This variety has 
been accepted as a valu¬ 
able cut flower for flor¬ 
ists’ use and is now in 
great demand. Pkt., 15c.

New Double Sweet-Scented 
Nasturtium Golden Gleam 
Double Scarlet Gleam 
Double Gleam Hybrid 
Awarded Gold Medal at Atlantic City Flower 
Show, 1931. 
Selected for Trial at Wisley, 1932. 
These plants form a vigorous, large bush 
<vhich throws out short runners, averaging 
eighteen inches. The flowers commence as soon 
as the plant nears complete development, and 
at the time it is in full bloom the entire plant, 
including the runners, is a blaze of color. The 
large, golden-yellow, scarlet, salmon and orange 
scarlet flowers average two and one-half to 
three inches across. They are borne on erect, 
stiff stems six inches in length. Consequently the 
flowers stand well above the foliage, an arrange¬ 
ment which adds immeasurably to the showy ap¬ 
pearance of the plant. 
When well grown the remarkable formation of 
the petals gives the flowers a fully double ap¬ 
pearance which is most attractive. An ordinary 
sized bouquet, when allowed to remain in a room 
for a short period of time, will fill the room with 
fragrance. 
Samples distributed among Botanical Gardens 
and Trial Grounds last season resulted in unan- 
imout proclamation of the value of Gleam Nas- j 
turtium as an outstanding and worthwhile nov- j 
elty. 
We predict a very happy demand for the 
season of 1936 and advise placing your order 
early to assure delivery.
