New and ^J'Ued 9te*nd 
NOTE: Under this heading we draw your attention to varieties of special value. Our selection of this list is based on our trial ground 
and greenhouse experience with all these items. Such a list necessarily includes standard as well as new varieties. We trust you will 
examine this list with the same care we used in making it up. 
Although not all spikes of the new Giant 
Pacific Clear White are as fine as this one, 
we are convinced there is no finer white 
strain available. 
BEGONIA, 
Indian Maid 
We consider this a most 
attractive Semperflorens 
Begonia. The bright 
scarlet flowers contrast 
most effectively with the 
blackish brown metallic 
foliage, that is identical 
in color with the rose 
colored Carmen from 
which it is a break; 
extra attractive for 
either pot plants or 
bedding. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 
oz., $2.00; 1/32 oz., 
$3.50. 
BEGONIA, 
Mrs. Helen Harms 
(New.) A tuberous root¬ 
ed variety that comes 
about 90 per cent true 
from seed. Deep canary- 
yellow flowers about 1 Vz 
inches in diameter, with 
small foliage. Is much 
used in Europe for bed¬ 
ding. Produces tubers 
for the following year. 
Choice for bedding if 
partially shaded, water¬ 
ed freely when dry, and 
light soil is used. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
CALCEOLARIA, Dwarf Tigered and Spot-fed 
We believe this to be the most uniformly dwarf florist strain available. 
The flowers are large, attractively spotted, and produced in a gay 
mixture of colors. We find it especially attractive when flowered in 4-in. 
pots, for which sow around October 1st. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 oz., $2.50; 1/32 oz., $4.50. 
CALCEOLARIA, Multiflora Nana 
Generally considered the best pot plant strain because of its compact, 
free-flowering habit. The medium sized flowers also seem harder and 
hold up longer than do the larger Grandiflora types. The strain we 
are sending out this season will have some rich original colors that will 
add further value to it as a florist Calceolaria. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/128 oz., $2.25; 1/64 oz., $4.25. 
CANDYTUFT, Giant Hyacinth-Flowered (Ball Strain) 
We annually select the stock seed for our strain of this popular 
type in our greenhouses, and through this method have developed a 
uniformly excellent strain that produces 3, 4, to 5 flower spikes. We are 
certain the stock we are offering cannot be excelled. We find this white 
Candytuft type well suited to sowing around February 1st, and grown 
cool for late May flowering. White is the only color in this class, other 
colors being available only in the Umbellata type. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; 1 oz., 75c; 4 ozs., $2.35; 1 lb., $7.50. 
CINERARIA, Berlin Market Mixture 
(Weissensee Strain.) For size of flowers, this famous strain is between 
the small Cremer or Multiflora Nana and the Grandifioras, combining 
the good points of both. The larger size of flowers gives them a clearly 
more distinctive appearance. Also, the colors are more attractive than 
Cremer’s strain, being largely light-eyed and brighter. We feel certain 
that at least a portion of every lot of Cinerarias should consist of this 
strain. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 oz., $1.60; 1/32 oz., $2.75. 
COREOPSIS, Sunburst 
(New Gold.) A large percentage of this variety comes semi-double. 
Bright golden yellow with long graceful stems. Valuable for midsummer 
cutting. Though a perennial, we find it doesn’t usually survive our 
winters beyond the second season. Tr. pkt., 20c; 14 oz., 35c; 1 oz., 90c. 
DELPHINIUM, Giant Pacific Hybrids 
(Vetterle & Reinelt.) We offer the originator’s strain. While we have 
not had an opportunity to test this newly developed strain, we have 
seen it growing on the grounds of the originator in California and be¬ 
lieve it will be found a distinct improvement in size of flowers and 
hardiness of growth. Available in Blue shades. Lavender shades, Violet 
shades, and Mixture of all colors. 
Tr. pkt., $1.25; Vs oz., $2.00; % oz., $3.50; 1 oz., $12.00. 
DELPHINIUM, Giant Pacific White 
(Vetterle & Reinelt.) Judging by what we have seen of this color in 
California, we are convinced it is the finest to be had in white Del¬ 
phinium. Tr. pkt., $1.75; Vs oz., $3.00; Va oz., $5.00; 1 oz., $18.00. 
DELPHINIUM, Lamartine 
The rich violet-blue with small light center of this variety gives it 
distinctive appearance among the darker blue shades. Growth will also 
he found somewhat stronger and not easily blown over. Also, foliage of 
Lamartine is smooth and for that reason does not mildew so easily as do 
other varieties. In our trial grounds we find it earlier flowering than 
Belladonna, and perfectly hardy. Tr. pkt., 50c; Va oz., $2.25; 1 oz., $8.00. 
ERYNGIUM, Bourgat-i 
(New.) A quite distinctive addition to the ornamental everlasting group 
of perennials. The thistle-like flowers, as well as the growth, are bright 
steel-blue in color with deeply cut leaves. June flowering, 20-24 in., 
perfectly hardy. We are certain every retail grower should have a row 
of this perenn al. Tr. pkt. only, 50c. 
EXACUM, Affine Atrocoeruleum 
This new variety will be found distinctly darker than the original variety 
Affine and is generally preferred. Exacum is an easily grown pot plant 
with richly scented flowers that are continuously produced. Should be 
protected from summer sun. Tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 oz., $2.25. 
LUPINUS, Russell Strain 
(Perennial.) Wherever hardy or perennial Lupins (Polyphyllus) are 
grown successfully, this new English strain should be used. The Russell 
Lupins excel in size of flowers and wider range of colors; awarded 
Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal. We offer seed in originator’s 
packets as follows: Pkt., 12 seeds, 25c; pkt., 50 seeds, 65c; 120 seeds 
$1.25; 250 seeds, $2.50. 
All Double Giant Marigolds make popular cut flowers. 
They can be flowered in mid-winfer.

Attracting attention is the first step in selling. Many florists need more attractive variety of stock.
