Each year it seems like so many new kinds of flowers are brought out, and 
we have chosen from American and Foreign Growers, what we believe will be 
the best for this locality, and we wish to call attention to a few of them. 
There are several new Marigolds, and we believe the Gigantea, Sunset Giant, 
and Collarette Crown of Gold should prove pleasing, but the Harmony, as well 
as the Guinea Gold and Yellow Supreme should not be omitted in our recom¬ 
mendation. 
The Dwarf Bachelor Button, Jubilee Gem, did prove very good last season, 
but the seed is quite scarce. 
We have two new blue Daisies, Heteropappas and Machaeranthera, fall flow¬ 
ering. 
In Pansies we have several new colors in the Swiss Giants, but for a large 
Pansy the Mapleleaved is the one. Of Violas, which is really small-flowering 
Pansies, we have added to our list. Purple Queen, Mauve Queen and Lord Nel¬ 
son, but also wish to call attention to Arkwright Ruby, Mistrals Mourning and 
the Yellow. These Violas are quite satisfactory as they are very free bloomers 
and also hardy. 
We have added a Verbena, Venus, to our list, which should be a very good 
clear pink with salmon shading. 
In the Zinnias, we have the Star Dust, a yellow Fantasy. 
Scabiosa, Rosette, is a new clear rose-pink, a color in between the rose and 
the scarlet. 
Rudbeckia, Halo Mixture, is a combination of odd shapes and colors, mostly 
in the yellow and brown red, some single and some double. 
Iceland Poppy, Amurensis, is a very large yellow variety, very long, strong 
stems and can be used for cuts. 
Of Petunias, there are many new and good varieties. In the hardy Lupins 
we have added the Carmineus, red and carmine shades. A new Leptosyne, double 
yellow, is recommended from England. 
It seems that the Ornamental Gourds are very popular for different kinds 
of decorations, so you will note we have more than 20 varieties of them. 
For the one who likes Sweet Tomatoes, we 'will advise trying a few of the 
new German Sugar Tomatoes. They are said to contain as high as 13% sugar 
and can be eaten like cherries or plums. 
Our list of Gladioli contains many varieties we have not had before. They 
are grown in Oregon.
