ANCHUSA MYOSOTIDIFLORA 
(The Forget-Me-Not Anchusa) 
A charming plant with the exquisite blue flowers of Forget-Me- 
Nots and large heart-shaped basal leaves. A clump of this beautiful 
plant is about a foot high, as much across, and a more beautiful 
subject for the cool rock garden or the border is not easy to find. 
Divided plants, 35c, by parcel post; larger, each 50c, by express, 
charges collect, $5.00 per dozen, and smaller clumps $2.50 per dozen. 
AQUILEGIA BLUE ROCKY MOUNTAIN

Mountain seeds. All will bloom next season. Plants, 25c each. Large 
specimen clumps, 50c each postpaid, or 40c by express, charges

BIG CLUMPS, 60c each, for September and October delivery; 
have to be sent by express. Smaller, 40c by mail. Can also be 
planted in very early spring, but not after March 15. 
DICTAMNUS — GAS PLANT 
One of the choicest and most valuable of perennials. The flower 
of Dictamnus resembles an immense Dutch Hyacinth. Blooms in 
May, when lovers of flowers are hunting new and out of the ordi¬ 
nary plants for their gardens. 
Dictamnus is valuable because beautiful, in bloom early and 
because it never winter-kills. The average life of Dictamnus is 100 
years. 
Grows about 2 to 2% feet high, bearing lemon-scented hyacinth¬ 
shaped flowers during May and June, with rich durable foliage. 
Crushing the latter creates some sort of a gas, which can be lighted 
with a match. 
TWO COLORS, White and Rosy Red. You will love this plant. 
Two-year-old field grown clumps of either color, 25c and 40c each, 
postpaid. 
GEUM, AVENS (Family: Rosaceae) 
GEUM BORIS. A charming low growing geum developed some 
years ago by King Boris of Bulgaria, a great plant lover. We 
have grown it for several years and like it better every year. It 
is the most persistent bloomer in our garden, starting early in 
the spring and keeping it up until the flowers are killed by frosts. 
A charming plant for the rock garden, growing only 15 inches 
high with glowing orange scarlet flowers. Strong blooming plants 
35c each, 3 for $1.00, postpaid. 
G. “FIRE OPAL” (New). A variety of exceptional merit with hand¬ 
some semi-double flowers over 2% inches, brilliant scarlet over¬ 
laid bronze. 2 feet. Strong blooming plants 35c each, 3 for $1.00, 
postpaid. 
GYPSOPHILA "BRISTOL FAIRY" 
GYPSOPHILA “BRISTOL FAIRY”. The finest, largest and double 
Baby’s Breath; hardy perennial. Large roots that will produce 
immense flower heads that you can sell throughout the summer 
as cut flowers. 40c each; mammoth roots 75c each, postpaid. 
GYPSOPHILA PACIFICA. The new rose-pink hardy perennial 
Baby’s Breath. Height 4 feet. Strong blooming roots, 25c and 
40c each. 
GYPSOPHILAS do best in rather dry places and not too rich soil, 
and like plenty of lime. 
LARGE 2-YEAR-OLD DELPHINIUM PLANTS 
Best sent by express where each package is handled individually 
—not stuffed in canvas bags. 
PRIZE WINNER STRAIN. DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER and 
OCTOBER. If you plant too late in the fall, clumps are liable to 
get winter killed and we cannot be held responsible. Price 50c and 
75c each, postpaid, or $5.00 and $7.50 per dozen by express, charges 
collect. 
SPECIAL CHOICE PLANTS, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.50 each. The 
finer they are the more they cost. It is not so much a matter of 
size here — quality counts. Give your preference in colors. 
For sale again in February and March, but this size cannot be 
shipped from our climate later than March 15th. If you cannot plant 
by that time, you will have to buy small seedlings for April delivery 
at 60c and 75c per doz. These will bloom a little in the fall — not in 
July. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
These lovely flowers are too well known to require a description. 
Strong field-grown clumps for immediate effect, 40c each; $4.00 
per doz. Single pips, 50c per doz. postpaid; $3 per 100 by express, 
charges collect. Either fall or very early spring planting; will 
succeed best in the shade or northern exposure. 
THE GORGEOUS ORIENTAL POPPIES 
For best results these roots should be planted in August or early 
part of September before they start into their fall growth. Spring 
time is the wrong time. 
QUEEN ALEXANDRA. Bright, rosy-salmon; an immense, lovely 
flower. 
MRS. JOHN HARKNESS. A very fine orange-apricot. 
REMBRANDT. Magnificent orange-scarlet. 
A strong root of any of these, 35c postpaid. 
PHYSOSTEGIA VIRGINICA VAR. VIVID. 
A valuable addition among autumn flowering perennials, and very 
desirable for the rock garden or front row of the herbaceous bor¬ 
der. The height is about 18 inches, forming a sturdy and compact 
habit of growth, producing a profusion of short well-furnished 
stems of brilliant rosy-crimson flowers. Strong flowering plants 
25c each, $2.50 per doz. 
VIRGINICA ROSEA. Forms large clumps 3 to 4 feet high, bearing 
long spikes of delicate pink flowers in July and August. Price 
same as for “Vivid”. 
Williamsburg, Iowa, 
January 15, 1936. 
Have grown some marvelously beautiful delphiniums from 
your seeds. Two blue and one white one that I think rivals 
anything you have pictured in your catalogs. It is one of the 
joys of gardening on even my small scale to be able to grow 
delphiniums such as your seed produce. 
Sincerely, C. G. 
Duncan’s Mill, Calif. 
No other house can furnish as fine Pansy seeds as yours. 
I am just infatuated with their wonderful blossoms, as are 
my friends. I cannot say enough for your fine seeds. Success 
to you, my friend. An old customer.

HAND-COLORED FLOWER SLIDES FOR 
GARDEN CLUBS 
Over 100 Garden Clubs throughout the states showed our colored 
Delphinium and flower slides last year; there are some 35 of them 
in a set, including a little talk on the cultivation of Delphiniums, 
thrown on the screen and read aloud by the operator; there is also 
other reading matter, the whole making it a sort of an illustrated 
lecture. Time required for showing, about 30 to 45 minutes. We 
have three sets going all the time, and it is well to make application 
three to four weeks ahead of your meeting. Each club must pay the 
transportation charges of the slides to the next place, which average 
about $1.50 each way—nearby points much less. They must be 
promptly returned. Any loss or breakage must be guaranteed to 
be paid for at $1.50 per slide (the actual cost).
