NEW BEGONIA 
Semperflorens Heterosis 
Snow 
This new, snow white, profusely flowering 
hybrid is outstanding on account of its 
resistance to heat, drought and excessive 
moisture. The plants bloom well during un¬ 
favorable weather and retain their fresh, 
pure white appearance. These pure white 
medium sized flowers show up well against 
the rosy stems and light green leaves. The 
bushy plants grow about 10 inches high. 
At the official Begonia trials (Germany), 
this new hybrid proved to be the best white 
Begonia. Tr. Pkt. $1.00 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, 
"Golden Crest" 
(Hardy Annual, 3 to 4 Feet) 
Golden Crest is as great a step forward in 
Chrysanthemums as was Radio in Calen¬ 
dulas and Jubilee Gem in Cornflowers. 
Golden Crest has the robust constitution of 
the Coronarium varieties, making vigorous 
and strong, well-branched plants 3 to 4 
feet in height. The flowers are produced 
so freely that one plant will carry as many 
as 50 to 60 blooms. The foliage is of an 
attractive silvery green, contrasting admir¬ 
ably with the bright butter-yellow flowers. 
The most outstanding feature of this Novelty 
is, however, the formation of the flower. 
The petals are quilled and, as will be seen 
by the illustration on this page, this quilling 
has a beautifying effect, which raises 
Golden Crest far above the level of other 
Chrysanthemums. In contrast to other Coro¬ 
narium Chrysanthemums, this really out¬ 
standing novelty produces 100% of double 
flowers. Tr. Pkt. 50c 
CALENDULA (Crested) 
"Orange Fantasy" 
(Award of Merit by "All America" Council) 
Orange Fantasy Calendula is unique—a 
form never before seen in this favorite 
flower. Outer petals are long, the inner 
petals short, curled and interlaced to form 
a heavy crest which surrounds a large, 
mahogany-bronze center. Flowers grow 3 3 A 
inches across and are of a deep but pleas¬ 
ing bronzy or coppery orange with petals 
edged deep mahogany-red. 15 inches tall.

CHRYSANTHEMUM, 
Segetum "Zebra" 
Annual Chrysanthemums are some of the 
most profitable annuals, being also modest 
in their requirements and easy to grow. 
They bloom continuously. 
Chrysanthemum Segetum "Zebra" is the 
first definite two-colored variety in the 
Chrysanthemum segetum class. The tips of 
the petals of these medium-sized blooms, 
2 inches across, are mahogany red, encir¬ 
cling brilliant yellow. A gay combination 
of colors, peculiarly attractive. The color 
contrast is considerably increased by means 
of a dark disc. Chrysanthemum Segetum 
"Zebra" is particularly suitable for borders 
and edgings on account of its dwarf and 
spreading growth and it is valuable as a 
lasting flower for cutting purposes.

COSMOS 
Extra Early 
Colossal 
Flowered 
"Sensation Crimson" 
Colossal flowered Crimson, 
a color hitherto not found 
in the Sensation group. 
An identical replica of Pink 
and White, as regards 
habit and size of flower; 
Crimson has the same deep 
color as that found in the 
smaller flowered Mammoth 
single crimson. 
Rounding out the color 
class of the Sensation 
group, Crimson is the shade 
greatly needed in this 
very popular Florist cut 
flower. Tr. Pkt. $1.00

CALCEOLARIA HYBRIDA 
"Flower Cloud" 
indicates its descent from the rugosa type by its ex¬ 
traordinary mass of bloom. Over a hundred "Lady's 
Slippers" about 1 in. large, on the center stem form 
large dense bouquets which, joined later by several 
hundred blossoms on the numerous side shoots, form 
giant umbels, aptly described as "Clouds." It starts 
flowering somewhat later than the multiflora nana and 
earlier than the rugosa Calceolarias and lasts for 
weeks in undiminished glory. The striking, brilliant 
light yellow show plants, on an average 12 ins. high, 
must appear very desirable to every spectator. Be¬ 
sides yellow, there are varying shades of brown and 
orange. The hardiness of flowers and foliage makes 
transport easy, and use in the open possible, and in¬ 
creases its value as a market plant.

for cutting; with 12-inch wiry stems.
