MISS STURTEVANT’S SEEDLINGS 
We are pleased to be able to list a few of Miss 
Sturtevant’s seedlings, all distinct from any we have 
listed elsewhere. We give Miss S.’s descriptions. 
Bashi-Bazouk. S. light lavender violet; F. deepening 
to mauve; a flower of great size; the long, drooping 
falls (often five inches in length) giving an un¬ 
usual effect. 3 to 4 ft. Each, $1.50. 
Bluet. Very light lavender violet with a white heard 
and a noticeably neat, self-contained habit of 
growth. 2 ft. Each, $1.00. 
Dream. The soft, clear pink that all producers are 
striving for, the pure lilac to Chinese violet tints of 
the color chart. It is a solid color with the carry¬ 
ing quality of Pallida Dalmatica, rather than the 
translucent flush that makes Lohegrin so much less 
effective in the garden picture. 3 ft. Each, $2.00. 
Magnate. The standards are light Ageratum violet, 
the edges so fluted as to show the center of the 
bloom; the falls are velvety Mathew’s purple (a 
crimson tone), and the growth is strong and heavy. 
30 in. F. C. C., 1915. Each, $2.00. 
Mareschal. Of similiar character, but with more 
widely branching stalks and less compact flowers. 
S. pearl, flushed pale verbena violet; F. bluish lav¬ 
ender, flushed and veined a livid purple to the beard; 
half white with a Pinard yellow margin. 42 in. Each, 
$ 2 . 00 . 
Myth. A very large, pallid lavender violet, the seg¬ 
ments unusually broad and full. S. open; F. widely 
flaring. Most sumptuous in garden effect. 30 in. 
Each, 50c. 
Queen Caterina. Pale lavender violet with beard of 
Cadmium yellow and a white half veined with bronze. 
The height of its strong, slightly flexuous stems, the 
size of its smooth textured blooms, and its general 
excellence, made decision difficult in the awarding of 
the silver medal. 3-4 ft. F. C. C., 1916. Each, $2.50. 
Rangoon. The size of the heavy blooms born on mere 
18-inch stalks is most noticeable. S. mauve; F. Am- 
paro purple shading to hyacinth violet. Substance, 
color and growth all exceptional. Each, $1.00. 
Rakan. S. Reed yellow; F. veined and tipped velvety 
Auricula purple, with a narrow border of yellow. 
The long, almost strap shaped segments give the 
flower value for massing. 3 0 in. Each, 75c. 
Sindkhat. S. deep, dull lavender shading to dark olive 
buff; F. light mauve deepening to manganese violet. 
Growth size, shade and substance exceedingly fine. 
4 ft. Each, 7 5c.
