FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS'' 
NEW AND TRIED ITEMS 
BEGONIA, Darling 
DAHLIA, Unwin's Dwarf 
CELOSIA, Fiery Feather 
Bright scarlet, pyramid type, 12 to 14 
inches. Highly attractive with us from late 
August until frost. Sow in the open around 
June 1st. Stands our trying summers well 
and deserves wider use for edging or mass 
effects. Also, this dwarf class is of outstand¬ 
ing value in combination plant arrange¬ 
ments. They can be flowered perfectly dur¬ 
ing May in 2/2-inch pots from an early 
January sowing. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs oz., 70c. 
Double and single flowering, mixed colors and a height of 1 8 
to 24 inches describes this attractive bedding class of Dahlias. 
After frost has cut them down, roots should be lifted and stored 
cool. If divided and potted in February, they make nice pot 
plants and are used for this purpose. Before frost undesirable 
ones should be removed. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; ] A oz., 65c; 1 oz., $2.25; 4 ozs., $8.00. 
DORONICUM, Pardalianches 
(New). "Bunch of Gold." Flowers of this new variety are 
not quite so large as Doronicum Caucasicum but produced so 
much more freely that it will be found valuable for cutting. 
Also flowering period, late June, follows the old variety. Height 
2 feet. Long-stemmed and valuable for cutting. 
Tr. pkt., 75c. 
IPOMOEA, Clark's Mammoth Heavenly Blue 
This variety resembles Heavenly Blue but has a yellow throat; 
also some earlier flowering than Heavenly Blue and we believe 
should be preferred. Must be grown in poor soil and not 
watered to prevent the heavy growth with no flowers that is 
frequently complained of. In the north should be sown early 
in pots, seedlings do not transplant well. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; 1 oz., 90c. 
Celosia, Fiery Feather 
CELOSIA, 
Golden Feather 
Same as above 
in every way but 
rich golden yellow. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs 
oz., 70c. 
CELOSIA, Thompsoni Magnifica 
Also of pyramid type of flowers, grows 2 to 4 feet, de¬ 
pending upon conditions. Mixture of red and yellow, 
largely red, and one of the most showy. Like all Celosias. 
we find they do best sown where they are to flower but 
are nicely grown and sold in pots. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; Va oz., 65c; 1 oz., $2.25. 
Cosmos, Early 
Orange Flare 
Doronicum Pardalianches—"Bunch of Gold" 
Of perfect, compact habit, ideal for bedding or pots. Fairly 
soft rose-pink under glass, deepening to carmine-rose outdoors. 
Medium large and of winter-flowering habit. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 oz., $2.25. 
BEGONIA, Elegant- 
Clear white with petals edged rose-pink; large-flowered. 
General effect light and most pleasing against the background 
of green foliage. Fine for combination 
Doxes. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 oz., $2.00. 
CANDYTUFT, Giant Hyacinth 
White 
Our strain of this fine cut flower type 
is the result of annually selected stock 
seed and comes as true to a fine com¬ 
mercial cut flower stock as it is possible 
to get it. A January sowing spaced 6x6 
inches will, in a cool house, make a 
welcome crop for Memorial Day. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; oz., 75c; 4 ozs., $2.50. 
Candytuft, Giant 
Hyacinth-Flowered 
COSMOS, Orange Flare 
Clear attractive orange. Flowers throughout the season with 
nice stems for outdoor cutting. This is an early flowering va¬ 
riety, and by sowing early can be used for spring flowering in 
3-inch pots. Attractive in combinations. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 60c; 1 oz., $1.00. 
COSMOS, Sensation 
Rose-pink and white, large-flowered and extra early describes 
this new early strain that was bred in Minnesota to produce a 
good crop of flowers before being cut down by early frosts. 
Valuable for outdoor work and cutting in any section, but espe¬ 
cially in the northern states and Canada. Available in Pink, and 
White strains, as well as in Mixture. See listing on page 27. 
Tr. pkt., each, 25c; Va oz., 45c; 1 oz., $1.50.

LARKSPUR, White King 
Clear glistening white, quite large, well rounded flowers. 
Base-branching and the finest in this color. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; Va oz., 60c; 1 oz., $2.00. 
LILY, White Queen 
This is clear snow-white, extra large and readily grown from 
seed in 17 months. After our experience with it this season in 
a deep ground bed of sandy soil and a rose house temperature, 
we believe this Lily will be found profitable. This strain will 
flower in about 17 months from seed. Bulbs as well as seedlings 
planted outside last fall are coming through nicely this spring, 
proving its hardiness. We have a supply of this seed ready for 
immediate shipment.
