NEW BEGONIA 
SEMPERFLORENS 
HETEROSIS "Snow" 
This new, snow white, profusely 
flowering hybrid is outstanding on 
account of its resistance to heat, 
drought and excessive moisture. The 
plants bloom well during unfavor¬ 
able weather and retain their fresh, 
pure white appearance. These pure 
white medium sized flowers show up 
well against the rosy stems and 
light green leaves. The bushy plants 
grow about 10 ins. high. At the offi¬ 
cial Begonia trials (Germany), this 
new hybrid proved to be the best 
white Begonia. Tr. Pkt. SI.00 
CENTAUREA (CORNFLOWER) "JUBILEE GEM" 
(Originators True Strain) 
Centaurea (Cornflower) Jubilee Gem 
Jubilee Gem” is a dwarf variety of Cornflower making a compact plant 
literally covered with flowers. It has foliage distinct from all other 
Cornflowers, forming a tufted mass of bright green, contrasting well with 
the dark but vivid double blue flowers. The plant is about 12 ins. in 
height. 
We consider "Jubilee Gem" a Novelty equal in merit to the best of our 
introductions of the last few years. 
Easy to grow, it is "everyone's" flower and is adaptable for almost any 
purpose to which a plant may be put. The grower for market will wel¬ 
come it as a pot plant, as also will the amateur with the now very 
popular cold greenhouse. As an edging plant, a border plant, or for 
ground work in formal beds of Roses, etc., it will be found admirable; 
it is a fine cut flower and, above all, it may - be sown outside in the 
autumn for spring flowering, or in the spring for summer flowering, and 
at intervals if a continuous supply of plants is wanted. Tr. Pkt. 50c 
CALCEOLARIA HYBRIDA 
"FLOWER CLOUD" 
indicates its descent from the rugosa type by its ex¬ 
traordinary mass of bloom. Over a hundred "Lady's 
Slippers" about 1 in. large, on the center stem form 
large dense bouquets which, joined later by several 
hundred blossoms on the numerous side shoots, form 
giant umbels, aptly described as "Clouds." It starts 
flowering somewhat later than the multiflora nana and 
earlier than the rugosa Calceolarias and lasts for 
weeks in undiminished glory. The striking, brilliant 
light yellow show plants, on an average 12 ins. high, 
must appear very desirable to every spectator. Be¬ 
sides yellow, there are varying shades of brown and 
orange. The hardiness of flowers and foliage makes 
transport easy, and use in the open possible, and in¬ 
creases its value as a market plant. Tr. Pkt.$1.00 
New Calceolaria “Flower Cloud" 
Chrysanthe¬ 
mum 
Yellowstone 
Hardy Annual 
(SEGETUM DOUBLE) 
Height: 2 Feet 
This is an entirely new 
break in Chrysanthemum 
Segetum. The flowers are 
of a full double form and 
are borne on good 
straight stems. The color 
of "Yellowstone" is very 
bright and appealing 
and similar to the welh 
known "Eastern Star." It 
is, in fact, a sport from 
this latter variety, but 
the double form of the 
flower makes the color 
considerably brighter 
and more solid in effect. 
This new "Chrysanthe¬ 
mum" will be welcomed 
by market growers for 
cutting.
