Cornflower, Jubilee Gem 
ANNUAL 
This is the dwarf blue Cornflower which has 
caused so much comment in England where it was 
first exhibited to the public last year. The plant 
grows about 1 foot high. Its foliage is a mass of 
tufted, vivid green leaves, entirely unlike any other 
Cornflower, and forming a beautiful contrast to the 
double, dark, vivid blue flowers. Cornflowers are 
one of the easiest of all annuals to grow. Not only 
recommended for garden and cutting use, but also 
for growing as a pot-plant in the greenhouse. Illus¬

cutting. Pkt. 50 cts., 5 pkts. $2. 
Celosia pyramidalis. Flame of Fire 
This is one of the most spectacular plants grown 
and was specially mentioned in the 1934 All-America 
Selections. The plants average 1U> feet in height 
and are of perfect pyramidal form, each ascending 
lateral bearing a feathery flower-head and the plant 
terminating in one great plumy head. The color is 
brilliant flame and the uniform plants present a glow¬ 
ing picture. A wonderful pot-plant and the gayest of 
border plants if given plenty of room to develop. 
Plant at least 2 feet apart each way. Pkt. 75 cts. 
Nicotiana affinis. Crimson Bedder 
X^yThis most showy rich deep crimson Nicotiana 
l^Al/is of the greatest value for bedding. The plants 
grow only 15 inches high and are literally 
covered with flowers from midsummer until frost.

Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 
Doronicum Pardalianches, Bunch of Gold 
Unlike the other Doronicums in commerce, this 
new variety does not bloom until late May and 
June. It produces a mass of bright canary-yellow, 
long-stalked, Marguerite or Daisy-like flowers, and 
grows in large clumps 24 to 32 inches tall. These 
long-stemmed yellow Daisies are particularly fine 
for cutting, and make a great showing in the peren¬ 
nial border. An interesting trait is the production 
of flowers in the axil of each leaf up the stem. 
Pkt. $1, 6 pkts. $5. 
The New Livingstone Daisy 
Mesembryanthemum criniflorum 
An easily grown annual of great charm; an ideal 
carpet or rockery plant and a gem for edging. The 
plants are of slightly spreading habit and literally 
covered with flowers measuring about an inch 
across, in the most delightful shades imaginable. 
There are pure whites, tinted and edged with rose, 
crimson, pink, and buff; self-colors including prim¬ 
rose, gold, buff, apricot, crimson, and pink. On 
account of their low growth, they are also admirably 
adapted for planting between stepping-stones and 
in crevices of crazy paving and on old walls. Thrives 
well in poor soil. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1.
