Rust-Proof Snapdragons 
The introduction of the New *Rust'Proof Snapdragon should be welcome news to 
the gardener who finds the Snapdragon among his garden favorites. 
It will be a joy to see these plants with their clean healthy foliage free from rust. 
*Rust is that disease which causes a burned or blighted appearance on the foliage. 
New Rust-Proof Super Majestic Mixed 
These new Snapdragons are slightly taller than the old Majestic Group. The 
Flowering Spike is larger and longer and contains a fine range of colors. Fkt., 
20c; 3 pkts., 50c. 
Dwarf Snapdragon, Magic Carpet 
Aster, California Giant 
Sunshine 
This new race of Aster we now 
offer in two delightful new colors in 
addition to the mixture. The plants 
grow two feet high and bear blos¬ 
soms five and six inches across on 
long stiff stems. 
The dual-tone color effects formed 
by the quilled discs and the encir¬ 
cling guard petals are lovely beyond 
description. The quilled discs are 
lighter than the guard petals and as 
the flowers get older the lemon cen¬ 
ters turn to the color of the quilled 
discs. 
Moonbeam 
The blooms of this Aster are snow 
white with a small center of soft 
orange. Fkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c. 
Stratosphere 
A rich dark blue. The guard petals 
are pansy-violet and the quilled pet¬ 
als are lavender, with the center a 
charming shade of orange. Fkt., 20c; 
3 pkts., 50c. 
Notwithstanding many rivals the 
well-known orange king Calendula 
still holds its own and the sale of it 
increases year by year. The bold 
form and vivid color of its flower 
appeals to growers and amateurs 
alike. We now offer a variety ident¬ 
ical in every way except that the 
flower is of a rich golden yellow 
color, of large size, beautifully form¬ 
ed and perfectly double. We are sure 
that it will prove a valuable asset 
both to the amateur gardener and for 
the cut flower grower. Fkt., 25c. 
As Rock Gardens still stand high 
in popular favor any new, easily 
grown and attractive plants suitable 
for the purpose will receive an eager 
welcome. This we are sure will be 
the case with this new Snapdragon 
which is a true hybrid and very 
dwarf. Magic Carpet is of almost 
a creeping habit as it nestles 
among the stones, and covers them 
as with a carpet. The flowers 
appear in a variety of soft and 
pleasing colors and will add great¬ 
ly to the gaiety of the rock gar¬ 
den during the summer months.

Cal endula, Golden King 
Cornflower, Jubilee Gem 
Cornflower, Jubilee Gem 
Jubilee Gem is a dwarf variety of Cornflower making a compact plant literally 
covered with flowers. It has foliage distinct from all other Cornflowers, forming 
a tufted mass of vivid green, contrasting -well with the dark but vivid double 
blue flowers. The plant is about 12 inches in height. Fkt., 20c. 
Chrysanthemum, Yellowstone 
This is an entirely new break in the hardy annual Chrysanthemums. The 
flowers are of a full double form and are born on good straight stems. The color 
of Yellowstone is very bright apd appealing, the double form of the flower mak¬ 
ing the color considerably brighter and more solid in effect. This new Chrys¬ 
anthemum will be welcomed by florists for cutting. Height 2 ft. Fkt., 25c. 
Eschscholtzia, Cherry Ripe 
This Novelty is an absolutely new color break in Eschscholtzias. Although 
there are already a very considerable number of California Poppies, we feel no 
query in introducing Cherry Ripe. It has made a very vivid splash of color at 
the various experimental grounds, and visitors have commented very favorably 
on it. 
It is large-flowered and of semi-double form; the petals are attractively 
caniculated. Cherry Ripe is very aptly named, for the flowers remind one of 
that brilliant and attractive color that is to be found in the ripe cherry. The 
cup of the flower is deep bright cerise, suffused terra cotta at the base. The 
beauty of the outside of the petals is enhanced by a “plum" sheen. Fkt., 20c.
