Larkspur Giant Imperial, White King 
White King is, without question, the finest introduction in Larkspurs in recent 
years. The flowers are pure glistening w T hite, broad petalled, solid and remarkably 
devoid of that green tinge common to other white varieties. 
The spikes, which are long and thickly clothed with double blossoms measure 
as much as 2 inches across. The blossoms are freely borne on tall, robust plants 
of true imperial habit. White King is very early flowering, coming into bloom fully 
a week before the rest of the Giant Imperial Varieties. White King is without a 
doubt destined to become the outstanding White Larkspur of the decade. Pkt., 20c; 
3 pkts. for 50c. 
Larkspur Giant Imperial, Coral King 
In Coral King we have a new color, never before seen in Larkspur—blush pink, 
with a strong suffusion of Coral which deepens and becomes richer as the flowers 
mature, an entii'ely new departure in Lai'kspur shades. The long spikes, and lai’ge 
double blossoms are freely borne and its general habits are the same as the variety 
White King offered above. Coral King is early flowering, coming in about the 
same time as Lai'kspur Rosamond, and has been proclaimed by visitors at the trial 
grounds to be the most desirable color yet introduced. Pkt., 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. 
Leptosyne, 
Golden Rosette 
This double form of Leptosyne Still- 
manni is sure of a welcome from all 
amateur and professional flower grow¬ 
ers. It is of easy culture and will 
“succeed almost anywhei'e.” As will 
be seen from the accompanying photo¬ 
graph, the flowers are of perfect Ro¬ 
sette form. The color is bright butter- 
yellow and the flowers are produced 
in the greatest possible profusion. As 
a cut-flower, Golden Rosette will be 
found admirable, and it is difficult to 
think of its equal in “yellow annuals’' 
as a garden plant. This Leptosyne 
may be raised as a half hardy annual 
by sowdng early in boxes or it may be 
treated as a hardy annual and sown 
in open ground. Golden Rosette 
flowers within ten weeks of sowing 
and blooms throughout the summer. 
Height, 18 inches. Pkt., 25c. 
Marigold, Sunset Giants 
Linaria, Fairy Bridesmaid 
We can warmly recommend this grace¬ 
ful Linaria, or commonly called Baby 
Snapdragon. The bushy plants, about 8 
inches high, spread a luxuriant wealth of 
bloom of a citron-yellow hue across the 
summer border, giving a most effective 
display. It does best when sown in boxes 
and planted out. Pkt., 25c. 
Marigold, Golden Measure 
Golden Measure is a perfect garden 
plant. It has a robust constitution, a fine 
branching habit, and its flowers are pro¬ 
duced very freely. It is the result of many 
years’ effort to get a large-flowered va¬ 
riety with true deep guinea gold blooms 
and which will flower early in this cli¬ 
mate. Golden Measure commences to 
bloom in early August and continues 
throughout the year till cut down by 
frost. Height, 214 feet. Pkt., 20c. 
Ma rigold, Chrysanthemum - Flowered Hybrids 
These new Hybrids consist of many new and distinct types of Mari¬ 
golds, varying in size of bloom from two to four inches in diameter. Some 
of these types have petals which are very quilled and incurved and which 
remind one of miniature American Beauty Asters in orange and yellow. 
There are also the imbricated types which have from four to five rows of 
flat petals and in the center there are many small quilled florets. 
These beautiful types are quite variable and are most desirable. The 
beautiful colors are most fascinating and can best be described as contain¬ 
ing all shades of orange and yellow. The plants are about three feet high, 
supporting masses of flowers on fine stems for cutting. Pkt., 20c. 
[Marigold, Collarette Crown of Gold 
An entirely new type of Marigold, developed in California. The crown 
or top part of the flower resembles a Chrysanthemum in formation and 
is made up of long, disc petals that beautifully interlace. The crown 
and the collarette of big, broad petals which surround it are of a bright, 
pleasing shade of clear golden orange. The color holds even when the 
flowers are old. 
The flowers of the new Collarette Marigold, Crown of Gold, are slightly 
sweet-scented and the foliage is entirely free of the usual Marigold odor, 
so objectionable to many. This is the first Marigold in cultivation with 
entirely odorless foliage. Plants grow about 2 feet, bloom early, and are 
very floriferous. Pkt., 25c, 3 for 50c.
