TROLLIUS (Globe Flower) 
LEDEBOURI “GOLDEN QUEEN”. A very fine novelty. Award of 
Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, London. We offer again seed 
of this beautiful hardy perennial plant. It is a valuable garden 
plant and continues in bloom from June till October; in fact, we 
cut flowers outside as late as November. 
This variety is very vigorous; it grows quite three feet in 
height, but its chief value lies in the size of the flowers, which 
are four inches across; the rich golden color of the outer petals 
and the intense orange color of the smaller petals near the center 
of the flower intermix and blend beautifully with the yellow 
anthers. The plant is extremely floriferous and continues in 
flower for a long period; in fact, the constancy with which it 
blooms in autumn as well as early summer is very remarkable, 
rt comes practically true to type from seed. 
Most Trollius are rather uncertain to raise from seed when 
sown in the spring, but one of the great recommendations this 
introduction has is that the seed germinates freely when sown in 
the spring. We tested this point very fully by three successive 
sowings in March, April and May, when practically every seed 
germinated. Blooms same year if sown early. Seed, pkt. 20c; 
1/16 oz. 90c.

WARNING! Do not send currency in your letters unless 
registered. We are not liable for your money lost in the mails, 
and certainly can not afford to make up your loss, either in 
money or seeds, or plants. If you must send currency have 
your letter registered, or send money order, or checks, or 
drafts. And don’t forget to sign your name and full address 
to your orders. Every season we receive orders that have no 
name or address attached, often without a return address on 
the envelope and we have no possible way to identify such 
orders and can not fill them, and then people wonder why 
they don’t receive their orders, and blame us for their own 
mistakes. 
OUR SEEDS ARE ABSOLUTELY FRESH; we do not sell old 
seed. If you get only a small germination or none at all, IT IS NOT 
THE SEEDS’ FAULT. May we suggest that you don’t sow all the 
seeds out of a package at one time. Divide it in three portions and 
sow at three diferent times, each sowing a few days apart; then if 
something went wrong the first sowing (bad weather, rain, ants, 
mice, birds, slugs or careless sowing, too much moisture or too 
little) these things might not occur with the second or third sowing. 
You know, it’s a wise saying, “Don’t put all your eggs in one bas¬ 
ket.” If something happens ALL the eggs are hopelessly destroyed, 
and so might your seed. 
CONTROL MEASURES AGAINST SLUGS IN GARDENS 
Slugs are nocturnal feeders. Control measures against them fall 
into three main divisions: 
A. Chemical dressings. 
1. Copper sulphate or bluestone. When the slugs are active in the 
evening they can be killed by: 
(a) “Watering” them with a 2 per cent to 3 per cent solution of 
copper sulphate. 
(b) By dusting the slugs with finely powdered copper sulphate. 
(c) On a larger scale, by dusting over the ground in the evening 
a mixture of finely-powdered copper sulphate and finely-ground 
Kainit (one of the potash manures) made by mixing 1 part by 
weight of copper sulphate to 20 parts by weight of Kainit. 
2. Lime and soot: By covering the ground with a mixture of 
soot and finely-powdered lime. (This mixture does not kill, but tends 
to keep the slugs away, and soon loses its effectiveness.) 
3. Naphthalene: By using naphthalene, finely-powdered, at the 
rate of 2 ounces per square yard. This chemical does not kill, but 
has a deterrent effect upon slugs. 
B. Trapping. 
Slugs can be “trapped” by simple means, and disposed of as 
thought fit. The “traps” can be made of small heaps of bran, or 
boiled potato, placed at various intervals, each heap being covered 
by a leaf of cabbage, lettuce, or rhubarb, etc. 
Lettuce leaves alone, or inverted orange skins, also make effi¬ 
cient traps. 
Metal slug traps may be bought, and where slugs abound in large 
numbers are found to be very useful. 
C. Prevention of re-population by slugs. 
All ground should be kept free from weeds, and after the harvest¬ 
ing of any crops, all dead leaves or garden refuse should be removed 
or dug in at once. 
BEST SOIL FOR FLOWER SEEDS 
Our favorite medium is three parts loam, two parts leafmold, and 
one part sharp sand, adding peat for woodland subjects and more 
sand for those not in love with too much moisture. These prepara¬ 
tions should suit almost anything. Fill the pan to within half-an- 
inch of the rim and press the soil very firmly.
