ORANGE FLARE. 
While not a new 
variety, Orange 
Flare received a 
gold medal in the 
All American 
Flower Selection 
for 1935. It is an 
early flowering 
strain of K 1 o n - 
dyke, with the 
same vivid orange 
color, but the at¬ 
tractive light 
green foliage i s 
less abundant. 
Blooms in less 
than four months 
from seed, and the plants grow about 3 feet high, and 
when in full bloom, are a mass of color. The stems are 
long and wiry, and well adapted for cutting. Pkt., 10c. 
PETUNIAS 
SALMON SUPREME. 
Winner of the high¬ 
est All-American 
award for 1938. 
When first opening 
are of a rich coral- 
salmon, changing as 
theymaturetoa 
glistening soft salmon-pink. They grow 2 in. across and 
are deeply five-lobed. We have placed it in the hybrids 
nana compacta group, although the plants are perhaps 
somewhat more spreading. They have a uniform height 
of about 1 ft. and a spread of about 1% ft. Pkts. to retail 
at 35c each. 
ASTER 
SUPER GIANT EL MONTE. 
The color is a strong crim¬ 
son and the flowers, which 
are composed of abundant 
quantities of daintily inter¬ 
laced plume-like petals, are 
extremely large and fluffy, 
a super giant form of the 
Ostrich Feather type. Each 
plant produces only six to 
eight flowers, each one 
borne on a heavy, non-lat¬ 
eral basal branched stem. 
Since El Monte is unusually 
early blooming, coming into 
flower in early September, 
at least two weeks before the California Giant varieties 
and all of three weeks before its Super Giant companion, 
Los Angeles, it can be grown in practically any climate. 
Although not wilt resistant, we recommend El Monte 
very highly. Pkts. to retail at 20c each.

SHAGGY.

pearance. The
