HELIOTROPE: 
“Royal Fragrance” 
A Royal Name for a Royal Flower 
Of all the line novelties we have introduced for the past 
twenty years to the American public, this is one of the 
best. 
“Royal Fragrance", produces a truss of flower, 18 inches 
across; brilliant Royal Blue in color and a fragrance 
that can be detected all over the garden. These qualities 
combined with a splendid, dwarf habit of 12 to 18" in 
height, make it a very valuable border plant as well as 
for growing in a solid bed. 
Delivery of well grown plants of the above, from 2y 2 
inch pots, at the proper time for planting in May: $3.00 
dozen; $20.00 hundred. 
Plants in 3 inch pots; $4.00 dozen; $30.00 hundred. 
Other varieties of Heliotrope, described in our 1923 catalog 
which is yours for the asking.

Montbretia 
is a flower that few people 
know about, it is one of 
the most effective and 
beautiful of the summer 
flowering bulbs. The 
graceful form of the flowers and the 
soft orange and red coloring make 
them stand out among the most 
attractive in the whole garden. 
The bulbs are set out in the spring 
and the flowers start blooming in 
mid-summer. Set out a few bulbs 
and see the results. The bulbs 
usually sell for $1.50 per dozen, but 
we have raised a large lot and offer 
them as follows: 
5 Bulbs 60c: 1 doz. $1.00: 50 $3.50 postpaid 
We are large growers of Flower Seeds and

This New Celosia is Both a 
Summer and a Winter Flower 
In Summer the blooms of Celosia chrysantheflora are like 
huge chrysanthemums. The colors are gorgeously beautiful—golden 
yellow, lemon, orange, shell-pink, old rose, salmon, mulberry, 
violet, Nile green, wisteria and maroon. 
For winter these colors can be retained by drying the blooms 
in a dark place; they are more beautiful and more lasting than 
the “everlasting flowers - ’ for winter decorations. 
Mixed colors only, 50 cts. per packet 
With your order for a packet of this new Celosia we will send 
a copy of 
Forbes’ 1923 Seed Catalogue 
A quarter century’s experience in seed growing is put at your 
service. Practical helps for amateur and professional gardeners, 
with cultural notes, make the book valuable to all. To customers 
it is sent without notice; to others who are interested in 
Forbes’ Seeds it will be sent on request.
