SHASTA DAISY 
NEW GIANT DOUBLE WHITE 
This strain includes an assortment of various types 
of double flowers ranging from the most fully double 
fringed petaled sorts through semi-doubles, to a type 
which, though single, forms unusual and beautifully 
shaped flowers with lacinated, curled and quilled pet¬ 
als. The flowers are large and carried on long wiry 
stems. Pkt. 25c. 
‘DATURA 
Seed may be sown outdoors after danger of frost is 
over, but for early blooming sow in hotbed and trans¬ 
plant about three feet apart each way. Roots can be 
kept all winter in cellars. Tender annual; three feet 
high. 
Wrightii—Pure white at the center shaded into lilac 
and blue; magnificent large single flowers. In warm 
latitudes can be continued as a perennial. Pkt. 10c. 
‘DELPHINIUM 
Delphinium—Hardy Larkspur. Very decorative border 
plants ranging in height from the 18-inch Cashmer- 
ianum to the stately Hybrids, 5 to 6 feet tall, whose 
side shoots flower after the main spike has finished, 
thus prolonging the blooming period. If the flower spikes 
are removed as soon as they fade, new ones will continue 
to appear, at intervals all summer. The colors run from 
pure white to darkest blue. Some varieties have a 
black center, others show a pleasing contrast, in shades 
of blue, between the inner and outer petals. Stake all 
varieties when 18 inches high to prevent them from 
blowing down.

DIMORPHOTHECA 
(Star of the Veit, 
African Daisy) 
Most of us know the Af¬ 
rican Daisies and have ad¬ 
mired their bright blossoms 
which are among the earliest 
to come in the spring. In 
a border or massed bed they 
are delightful, but for a 
really gorgeous display of 
colors in contrast, plant 
them with bedding Petunias. 
The showiest effect is ob¬ 
tained by using mixed colors 
of African Daisies, and the 
dark shades bedding mix¬ 
ture of Petunias, sowing the seed broadcast or setting 
out the plants informally, giving the appearance of 
being broadcast. The effect is startlingly beautiful 
and this bed or border will be the showiest spot in the 
garden. Dimorphothecas thrive in the hottest climates, 
so they can be grown in any part of the country, or in 
the hottest corners of the garden.
