Chrysanthemum, Double Aimual 
Yellowstone 
Calendula, Orange Sunshine 
Cheiranthus Allionii, 
Golden Redder 
There is no doubt that gardeners 
throughout the country will welcome 
Golden Redder as an alternative to 
the orange form for spring and early 
summer. It is sirnilar in type to the well- 
known Allionii, with large flowers of deep 
golden yellow, and its lovely tone will blend 
more easily with many subjects. It is 
sweetly scented, long lasting in flower 
(especially if the seed-pods are not allowed 
to form), and it may be sown in the late 
summer, autumn, or early spring. Pkt. 20 
cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
Chrysanthemum, Double 
Annual Yellowstone 
This double variety of C. segetum has excel¬ 
lent qualities for cutting, as well as for 
general garden use. The blooms, measuring 
about 4 inches across, have wonderful sub¬ 
stance and are borne on long, strong stems. 
It blooms from June until early autumn, and 
it is a very floriferous variety. The color is an 
intense sulphur-yellow—a very attractive 
shade that is also very effective in artificial 
light. Blooms will keep fresh in water for 
10 days, which makes it a most valuable 
variety for cutting, and at the same time it is 
so easily grown that it is sure to be very 
popular as a garden plant. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Coreopsis grandiflora, 
Double Sunburst 
Much of the beauty of early summer gar¬ 
dens is due to the brilliant golden yellow of 
Coreopsis plantings. There is nothing that 
can take its place at that time of the year 
when yellows are so scarce, and when varia¬ 
tions in the type are produced, they are wel¬ 
comed gladly. Sunburst is a pleasant change 
from the well-known single form, retaining 
its beauty of color while augmenting its effect 
of brilliance through the doubling of petals. 
The double flowers are large—to 2 inches 
across—deep golden yellow, and are excellent 
for cutting as well as for garden decoration. 
The flowers are fine keepers and the plants 
are very easy to grow. The strain is remark¬ 
ably true, coming 80 per cent double. Pkt. 
15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Aquilegias, Long-spurred Hybrids 
Aquilegia longissima 
Delicate pale yellow flowers with very long 
spurs—often 4 inches long. Strikingly grace¬ 
ful and deserves a permanent place among 
our choicest perennials. Pkt. 50 cts. 
New Super-Giant Aster 
The largest and most fully double Asters 
known. Extremely large, graceful flowers 
with daintily interlaced plume-like petals. 
Plants reach a height of 2J^ to 3 feet and are 
very early flowering, coming into bloom 
before the California Giant varieties and 
remaining in flower over a long period. For 
those who want the finest Asters yet devel¬ 
oped, we recommend this type.

ing to creamy pink at the center.

mum-like form, the blooms are of a bright 
orange color Pkt. 25 cts.
