FLOWER SEEDS^y#^ 
Everyone planting flower seeds should include in the order a careful selection from this Novelty and Specialty List, 
which represents our appraisal of the season’s newest offerings, plus a selected list of our own most valuable intro¬

Our Novelties and Specialties have all passed through the experimental stage in our own careful trials or in the gardens 
of extremely critical judges, and we offer them with the utmost confidence that each and every one will give you the maximum 
pleasure and satisfaction and prove a welcome and worthy addition to your garden. 
-BRECK’S 
Our Greatest Specialty 
Breck’s Velvety Violet Petunia 
No Petunia grown today can compare with this out¬ 
standing Breck specialty. Year after year it adds thou¬ 
sands of new names to its long list of admirers. The plants 
are of spreading habit, free branching, and free blooming. 
Its color is an intense deep violet-blue, with a decided 
velvety sheen and it is a wonderful plant for window- 
boxes and general use in beds or borders. Because of its 
color it is a most desirable plant for almost any garden 
color scheme. We have always considered this our most 
outstanding and valuable introduction. Therefore, this 
year, we have illustrated it in color on the front cover 
of this Catalog. We, and we alone, are able to supply the 
true stock. Pkt. 50c. 
Petunia,Celestial Rose 
This is indeed a very distinguished 
new variety, being an improvement 
on Rose of Heaven, but with more 
compact growth and a deeper and 
richer color. The flower has a curi¬ 
ously satiny texture. Furthermore, ft 
is a profuse and continuous bloomer. 
Illustrated in color opposite page 25.

Petunia, Snowdrift 
A true snow-white is both unusual 
and difficult to find among the 
Petunias of the large ruffled type. In 
Snowdrift we have just such a 
flower, superb in its form, and never 
out of bud or flower. Illustrated in 
color on inside front cover page as 
part of our “Crown Collection.”

Marigold, Signata Pumila, Gold Dust 
Marigold, Signata 
Pumila, Gold Dust 
We believe that our front-cover illus¬ 
tration of this outstanding Marigold is 
so nearly perfect that it sets a new 
standard in the color reproduction of 
flowers. The black and white illustra¬ 
tion, directly above, is equally accurate 
in showing the very compact plant-habit 
of this superlative annual which is ideally 
suited for bordering the flower garden. 
The plants have beautiful, fern-like foli¬ 
age, literally smothered throughout the 
entire season with two-toned, golden 
yellow flowers. We suggest massing our 
Velvety Violet Petunia directly behind 
the bordering of Gold Dust. The result¬ 
ing color effect is very, very wonderful. 
Height 6 to 8 inches. Pkt. 25c. 
Petunia, Breck’s Velvety Violet 
Marigold, Tom Thumb, Golden Crown 
Marigold, 
Tom Thumb, 
Golden Crown 
In this Marigold we 
have an “ace,” for it 
is a reliably dwarf 
form of Guinea Gold, 
its distinguished par¬ 
ent. The value of 
Golden Crown for the 
front section of a 
flower-bed can hardly 
be over-rated. Height 
10 inches. The illus¬ 
tration below indi¬ 
cates compact plant- 
habit. You will like it.
