Marigold, Sunset Giants 
Lilium philippinense formosanum 
LILIUM phil ippinense formosanum 
White Swan 
A giant, snow-white, early-flowering Lily of the 
Philippinense type. This strain bears larger flowers 
than any other type, and will flower in approxi¬ 
mately eight months from seed. Pkt. 25c.; $1.00 
per large pkt. 
MARIGOLD, Sunset Giants, Mixed 
1937 Novelty 
A new departure in Marigolds, with the largest flowers ever known 
in that group, averaging 5 to 7 inches across. Exceptionally free 
flowering and lack the usual Marigold odor. The plants grow 3^ to 
4 feet high. Flowers are loosely formed, with broad, heavy petals, and 
come in a mixtureranging from deep orangethroughto light lemon-yellow. 
This strain comes 60 per cent double. Pkt. 35c.; $1.25 per large pkt. 
MARIGOLD, Chrysanthemum-flowered Hybrids, Mixed 
1937 Novelty 
These hybrids consist of many new and distinct types of Marigolds, 
varying in size from 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Some of these types 
have petals which are much quilled and incurved, resembling a minia¬ 
ture American Beauty aster. The colors range in all shades of orange 
and yellow. Plants are about 3 feet high, supporting masses of flowers 
on fine stems for cutting. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
MARIGOLD, Carnation-flowered. Golden Eagle 
1937 Novelty 
Closely related to the popular Guinea Gold. Color is a delightful 
shade of luminous gold. Plants come 100 per cent double, and as a 
cut-flower this variety is superb. Pkt. 25c.; 85c. per large pkt. 
PAPAVER nudicaul e amurense 
yellow Wonder. All-America Winner 
This new yellow variety is undoubtedly the finest and largest- 
flowered Iceland Poppy to date. The bright buttercup-yellow flowers, 
with lighter centers, are 4 to 6 inches across, and the stems are often 
more than 2 feet long. Fine for cutting. Plants are of robust habit 
and free flowering, with as many as 30 different flowers open at one 
time. Although a perennial, it will flower from seed the first season if 
sown early. We predict that this Iceland Poppy will prove one of our 
choicest garden perennials. Pkt. 25c.; $1.00 per large pkt. 
MARIGOLD 
Dwarf Alldouble, Royal Scot 
All-America Winner 
An excellent new strain of 
dwarf, bushy growth, every 
plant of uniform shape, and 
10 to 12 inches high. Color, 
a rich mahogany and gold in 
uniform stripes. See color 
illustration opposite page 8.

ORNAMENTAL 
FLOWERING KALE 
This belongs to the same 
family as the cabbage or kale, 
but it is entirely different in 
appearance. Early in the sea¬ 
son the leaves are green, but 
in the autumn they change 
to many beautiful colors, 
ranging from white, cream, 
pink, rose, and magenta on a 
dark green ground. Pkt. 15c.; 
40c. per large pkt.
