1915 Novelties of European Origin 
Offered Now for the Second Time 
From an unusually large list we have selected the following, because by their descriptions 
one can recognize unusual merits and progress. All of them hail from reliable sources, so that 
we are fully confident they are as represented. It is impossible for us to grow them previous to 
offering, so that we are compelled to give the introducer’s description. 
Alyssum Primrose Gem 
A dwarf, compact growing annual Sweet Alyssum with erect growing flowers of pale prim- 
rose-yellow. 
§117. — .Pkt., $ .15; largo pkt., % .40 
Antirrhinum Semi-Dwarf Giant Mauve 
An entirely new color in this class of valuable garden flowers; a lovely shade of pale, clear 
mauve. With such a color wo can paint a delightful picture in our garden. Suppose we let tho 
taller-growing Snapdragons of pale yellow or delicate salmon-pink riso through and above 
them, or apply them to our blue or mauve gardens? The flowers of this novelty are much larger 
than usual, and, all in all, it should be welcomed as a worth-while novelty. 
§228. — .Pkt., $ .35; 3 pkts., SI. 00 
The Annual Pine Tree (Artemisia Sacrorum Viridis) 
From a single seed sown in May there is visible in our gardens in August a specimen of a 
tree-like plant, standing 6 or more feet high, which has all the appearance of a Norway Pine. 
The plant is pyramidal in growth, of fine needle-like deep green foliage, and branches are ex¬ 
tending from the bottom like a spruce. For hedges or background of dwarfer flowers or for 
single specimen we have here a remarkable plant, worthy of trial.

Brachycome Iberidifolia “Blue Gem” 
(Swan River Daisy) 
There are many what we term “modest flowers” of which the American gardener knows 
but little, and which to the real lover of flowers appeal more forcibly than those which by their 
bright dress can be seen from a distance. The Brachycomes are delightful littlo plants, which 
are suitable both for garden effect or cutting. More of their form or habits is described in 
another part of this book. The novelty offered here differs from others, as the flowers nre formed 
of small ray-like petals, similar to a single cactus dahlia. The color, a beautiful clear lavender 
blue, with a white zone; very free-flowering.
