Dwarf Double Nasturtium, Golden Globe 
Dwarf Double, Golden 
Globe Nasturtium 
Award of Merit, 1936 All-America Seed 
Selections. This pretty new variety is free 
flowering, long stemmed, sweet scented, and 
is of the same dazzling golden yellow color of 
Golden Gleam. However, the habit of the 
plant is quite different. Instead of being a 
semi-runner it forms an almost perfect globe, 
thus obviating the trouble of keeping the plant 
within the desired bounds. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
^oz. 20 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; 3^1b. $1. 
New Phlox Drummondi 
gigantea, Art Shades 
A new strain of Phlox Drummondi, with 
flowers 134 to 134 inches in diameter. In 
addition to its enormous flowers (which in 
itself would be enough to justify it as a 
novelty), it has a most wonderful range of 
color in soft art shades. These lovely tones, 
blended together, make a most beautiful 
mixture and a color combination never before 
seen in annual Phlox. There is a complete 
absence of harsh colors in this wonderful 
mixture, and it should appeal to those who 
are looking for soft color effects in their 
gardens. Plants about 9 inches high. Shown 
in color, see page 36. Pkt. 20 cts.; large 
pkt. 50 cts. 
Polyanthus, Giant Bouquet 
A magnificent development of this old 
garden favorite, the flowers being of excep¬ 
tional size, often 2 inches across. They are 
produced in great numbers and display an 
immense variety of coloring from white to 
cream, yellow, scarlet, purple, and crimson. 
Borne on strong stems, they are excellent for 
cutting, as well as making a fine show in the 
garden. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Rudbeckia, Kelvedon Star 
An annual with perfect, long-stemmed 
flowers for cutting on plants that are sturdy 
and free flowering. The flowers vary in size 
and form but all have a dark brown central 
disc surrounded by a shining mahogany zone 
on petals of deep golden yellow. Grows 3 
feet high. Shown in color on page 35. Pkt, 
15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Larkspur, Giant Imperial, 
White King 
Without question the finest introduction in 
Larkspurs in recent years. The flowers are 
pureglistening white, broad-petaled, solid, and 
remarkably devoid of that green tinge com¬ 
mon to other white varieties. The spikes, 
which are long and thickly clothed with blos¬ 
soms, are freely borne on tall, robust plants of 
true Imperial habit. White King is very early 
blooming, coming into flower a week earlier 
than other Giant Imperial varieties. Pkt. 
25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Double Sweet-scented 
Nasturtiums 
A remarkable development in this popular 
and easily grown species. The plant forms a 
vigorous, large bush which throws out short 
runners, averaging 18 inches, and when it is 
in full bloom the entire plant, including the 
runners, is a blaze of color. The large flowers 
are borne on erect, stiff stems 6 inches in 
length, and, consequently, stand well above 
the foliage, an arrangement which adds im¬ 
measurably to the showy appearance of the 
plant. A bouquet of these attractive flowers, 
distinctly double in form, will fill a room with 
pleasing fragrance, besides being a delight to 
the beauty-loving eye. 
GOLDEN GLEAM (Bodger’s). Large, 
double, sweet-scented, golden yellow flow¬ 
ers on long stems are borne profusely, well 
above the bright green foliage. Pkt. 10

SCARLET GLEAM (Bodger’s). Deli¬ 
ciously fragrant flowers of fiery orange- 
scarlet. The individual blooms are of 
immense size, uniformly double, with long, 
wiry stems bearing the numerous flowers 
well above the lush green foliage. Pkt. 
10 cts.; 34oz. 15 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 34Ib. 75 cts. 
GLORIOUS GLEAM HYBRIDS (Dod¬ 
ger’s) . Gorgeously colored, large, well- 
formed, sweet-scented, double flowers of 
dazzling beauty. Colors never dreamed of 
before in a Double Nasturtium abound in 
profusion—glorious shades of salmon, 
golden yellow, orange-scarlet, cerise, 
cream-yellow, orange, crimson, and gold 
flushed scarlet. Stems are long and bear 
the flowers well above the foliage. For 
cutting or garden use has but few equals.
