ORANGE GLEAM—Double Sweet Scented 
Orange Gleam is the finest Gleam Nasturtium since the introduction 
of Golden Gleam. The flowers are very large, uniformly double and pro¬ 
fusely free flowering, while the color is entirely new in the Nasturtium 
family—a deep glowing golden orange, with a deeper shading at the 
center. The plants are semi-dwarf, bearing the flowers well above the 
light green foliage on long, wiry stems. The sweet scent characteristic 
of all our Gleams is very pronounced, making the flowers especially fine 
for any garden or cutting use.

SCARLET GLEAM—Sweet Scented 
Scarlet Gleam, second Gold Medal winner, 51% points, is a rich 
scarlet counterpart to Golden Gleam, 1933 Gold Medal winner. Half 
dwarf type, bushy with a few short runners, ruffled petals, semi-double, 
profuse flowering. 
GLORIOUS GLEAM HYBRIDS—Sweet Scented 
Bodger’s Glorious Gleam Hybrids, Award of Merit, 32% uoints, is a 
hybrid mixture from crossing on Golden Gleam. There are several strik¬ 
ing color and blends in the mixture and they come very true to form, 
half dwarf, semi-double, ruffled, fragrant flowers. The flowers are fine 
large, well formed sweet scented double, of the same type as the well 
known Golden Gleam. In habit of growth they also closely resemble 
Golden Gleam, with semi-dwarf plants throwing short runners from 
well rounded free flowering bushes. The stems are long and bear the 
flowers well above the green of the foliage, giving the effect of a solid 
mass of color. The color range includes salmon, golden yellow, orange 
scarlet, cerise, cream yellow, orange, maroon, crimson, and many 
spotted varieties. By actual count 98% come double.

MARIGOLD DIXIE SUNSHINE 
From the Land of Dixie to the gardens of the world comes this most 
modern, most charming and unique Marigold. Sensationally new and 
fascinating, the large ball shaped flowers are ingeniously composed of 
dozens of tiny five-petaled florets, gracefully interlocking, daintily 
fringed in effect. Brilliant golden yellow, 100% fully double, and but 
faintly scented with the characteristic Marigold color. Dixie Sunshine is 
a ray of dazzling, pure beauty. Whether in the garden, on tall bushy 
plants literally smothered with blooms, or when arranged for home 
decoration, the strong stemmed flowers are a constant joy from August 
throughout the season until frost.

Double Scarlet Gleam has been likened to a 
huge fiery carpet spread over the ground. It is 
in fact the most intensely dazzling color one 
could imagine in a flower. Similar in habit of 
growth to Golden Gleam, the type of doubleness 
found in the individual flowers is somewhat 
different from that known in the Golden 
Gleam. Scarlet Gleam is more or less plain pet- 
aled and deeper throated. The doubleness is 
caused by an overlapping of small petals to¬ 
ward the center. When grown under unfavorable 
conditions, therefore, the throat has a tendency 
to show and the flowers appear but semi¬ 
double. When well grown, the general effect is 
that of complete doubleness.

GOLDEN GLEAM 
Golden Gleam is semi-tall running from 2 
to 2% feet high. Sweet scented, with long 
stems. Plants form a vigorous, large bush 
which throws out short runners, averaging 
eighteen inches. The flowers commence as soon 
as the plant nears complete development, and 
at the time it is in full bloom the entire plant, 
including the runners is a blaze of color. Large 
golden yellow flowers average 2% to 3 inches 
across. They are borne on erect, stiff stems 
six inches in length. Flowers stand well above 
the foliage, which adds immeasurably to the 
showy appearance of the plant.

LOS ANGELES ASTER 
This is the largest and most fully double 
Aster known. The flowers are from six to eight 
inches across, full petaled and artistically 
graceful in the feathery effect of the interlac¬ 
ing ostrich feather type petals. The color is a 
lovely soft shell pink, bleanding to a creamy 
pink at the center. If they are combined in 
boquets with some blue flower, as Delphinium. 
Belladona or Didiscus coeruleus, they show up 
to best advantage.
