PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
PERENNIAL SCABIOSA (Pincushion Flower) 
S. CAUCASICA (Isaac House’s New Hybrids). Hardy perennial; soft 
lavender blue and lilac shades, prized for cutting; 12 to 18 inches. 
Per pkt. 15c; 2 for 25c; 1/16 oz. 40c; |/ 8 oz. 75c. Avoid wet and 
heavy soil when planting these perennials, so useful for cutting 
purposes. Soil of a gritty nature suits them best, as excessive 
moisture at the roots is fatal. Use some lime. 
If you don’t grow this Scabiosa you are missing a mighty fine 
thing. Seed germinates readily. Plants bloom when only small 
seedlings. Very handsome flowers on long stems, blooming from 
early summer until frost time. A 2 or 3-year-old clump is a won¬ 
drous sight. 
SWEET ROCKET (Hesperis) 
The old-fashioned Dame’s Violet. A hardy perennial, easily raised 
from seed, blooms the following spring in May with the Iris and 
Aquilegia. Height, 3 to 5 feet. Very fragrant. No garden should be 
without it. A lovely, graceful cut flower. If you sell cut flowers on 
Decoration Day, you will find the long, loose sprays a valuable 
acquisition. 
WHITE SWEET ROCKET. Per pkt. 15c; 2 pkts. 25c; !4 oz. 35c. 
PUDOR’S PINK SWEET ROCKET. After many years of selecting 
and re-selecting, we have succeeded in establishing a fine orchid 
pink variety in place of the old purple variety. i/ 8 oz. 35c; per 
pkt. 20c. 
THALICTRUM (Meadow Rue) 
TH. AQUILEGIFOLIUM. Large branched heads of feathery flowers 
in pink and white; beautiful cut foliage; fine border plant; 4-5 
ft. Seeds, mixed, per pkt. 15c. 
TH. ADIANTIFOLIUM. Elegant foliage resembling that of the 
Maidenhair Fern. Admirable for bouquets, as the leaves retain 
their form for a long time when cut. Hardy perennial. Height 
18 inches. Per pkt. 15c. 
TH. DIPTEROCARPUM. Tall growing perennial plants of great 
beauty, with loose sprays of clear mauve and primrose flowers; 
most graceful habit; thrives best in rather poor soil in the shade. 
]/s oz. 75c; 1/16 oz. 40c; per pkt. 20c. 
THERMOPSIS (Pea Family) 
CAROLINIANA. 3 to 4 ft. June-July. Long spikes of bright yellow 
flowers. Just the thing for planting among your Delphiniums to 
bring out the blue. This is a poor germinator, about 60%. 1/16 
oz. 40c; per pkt. 15c. 
TROLLIUS (Globe Flower) 
EUROPEAN GLOBE FLOWER. Large, handsome globular flowers 
of a rich golden yellow or orange color. Blooms last of May and 
early June. Growth rather slow, but when once established, a 
three-year-old clump is a magnificent sight. Only fresh, fall- 
sown seed will insure success. Spring sown seed, unless soaked 
in hot water for a few seconds, might lay dormant for a whole 
year. We had splendid success with seed sown last fall in flats; 
looked like a 100% germination; seedlings showed up in February 
and were transplanted in May. Our own seed, per pkt. 25c. 
LEDEBOURI “GOLDEN QUEEN”. A very fine novelty. Award of 
Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, London. We offer again seed 
of this beautiful hardy perennial plant. It is a valuable garden 
plant and continues in bloom from June till October; in fact, we 
cut flowers outside as late as November. 
This variety is very vigorous; it grows quite three feet in 
height, but its chief value lies in the size of the flowers, which 
are four inches across; the rich golden color of the outer petals 
and the intense orange color of the smaller petals near the center 
of the flower intermix and blend beautifully with the yellow 
anthers. The plant is extremely floriferous and continues in 
flower for a long period; in fact, the constancy with which it 
blooms in autumn as well as early summer is very remarkable. 
It comes practically true to type from seed. 
Most Trollius are rather uncertain to raise from seed when 
sown in the spring, but one of the great recommendations this 
introduction has is that the seed germinates freely when sown in 
the spring. We tested this point very fully by three successive 
sowings in March, April and May, when practically every seed 
germinated. Blooms same year if sown early. Seed, pkt. 20c; 
1/16 oz. 90c. 
VIOLAS (Violet Family) 
Treat these same as pansy seed; either sow in late summer, for 
early spring bloom, or sow in early spring for summer blooming. 
R. VIOLA SUTTON’S APRICOT. A charming and unusual apricot- 
orange color. Comes about 80% true from seed. A very distinct 
and beautiful variety. 1/16 oz. 60c; % oz. $1.00; 2 pkts. 25c; per 
pkt. 15c. 
VIOLA “YELLOW QUEEN”. A beautiful clear yellow of good 
habit; very sweetly scented. Per pkt. 15c, 2 for 25c; 1/16 oz. 65c. 
VIOLA JERSEY JEWEL (New). Deep violet color, large blossoms 
and long stems. 1/16 oz. 80c; per pkt. 25c. 
VIOLA ARKWRIGHT RUBY. Novelty. One of the most distinct 
of all the bedding Pansies or Violas. The flowers are borne in 
great profusion. Delightful rich ruby-red flowers. Seeds will al¬ 
ways be scarce as the plants are very shy seeders. Per pkt. 25c. 
VIOLA “PRIMROSE PERFECTION”. A large flowered “primrose” 
Viola of beautiful formation and the habit of the plant is dwarf 
and compact; this variety is so floriferous that the foliage is 
almost hidden. Primrose Perfection may be relied upon to come 
true to color from seed. Seed, 1/16 oz. 65c; per pkt. 15c. 
VIOLAS—Continued 
A SPLENDID MIXTURE. We will make up a mixture of all of the 
above, 1/16 oz. 35c; 2 pkts. 25c; per pkt. 15c. 
VIOLA “MAGGIE MOTT” 
VIOLA "MAGGIE MOTT" 
The new English Hybrid Viola—the finest of all. Extra large 
flowers, nearly as large as a small pansy blossom; the round shaped 
neat plants are covered for weeks with exquisite flowers of a soft 
heliotrope-blue, deliciously fragrant. Comes about 75% true from 
seed, which will always be very scarce, owing to the plants not 
setting seed well. Price, small pack of about 75 seeds, 25c. 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
THE NEW "PUGET SOUND WONDER" 
STRAWBERRY 
(Also known as the "New Washington" 
MASTODON—A WONDERFUL EVERBEARING 
STRAWBERRY 
THE MARSHALL. An old standby; a wonderful canning and ship¬ 
ping berry. 
Strawberry plants are best set out in the very early spring; if 
set out in the fall there are apt to be heavy losses. Wait for our 
spring catalog for lowest prices, issued January 1st, 1937.

Puyallup, Washington, 
Gentlemen: 
Please find enclosed money order for another 1/16 oz. of 
your “Pedigreed” Prize Winner Delphinium seed. I must say 
your seeds have so far produced seedlings far superior, both 
in vigor and beauty, far beyond a written description. Not 
that these are the only Delphinium we have tried; in fact I 
fully believe that we tried nearly every important Delphinium 
Specialist both in the United States and abroad in building 
up our strain and we certainly have developed some “jewels” 
from your strain. We were forced to turn down many seed¬ 
ling orders due to the fact the demand far exceeded the sup¬ 
ply. Customers could hardly believe such Delphiniums ever 
grew. You may look for an order from us this summer for 
some of your White Wonder Delphinium seed. So far all our 
white ones have not been worth while. 
Yours truly, 
EVERGREEN NURSERY.
