RUSSELL LUPINS. Per. 
A sensation in England, this magnificent new 
strain of Lupinus Polyphyllus seems destined to 
push Lupins to the forefront of popular peren¬ 
nials. Exceptionally long spikes, with almost all 
florets open at once, make the 3 to 4-foot plants 
rivals of Delphinium. 
But it is the wonderful new color-range, which 
includes bright oranges, reds, yellows, pinks, 
blues, purples, and striking combinations of all 
these, and the size of the individual florets, which 
make the Russell Lupins, just released to the 
public, but under development for 20 years, most 
remarkable. 
Seeds, in originator’s sealed packets with cultural 
directions, 25c. 
SALPIGLOSSIS, Semi-dwarf, Giant-flowering 
Bushier plants, tall enough to develop long cut¬ 
ting stems, but stocky enough to obviate the usual 
staking, distinguish this useful new strain of the 
beautiful “Painted Glories.” Flowers are as large, 
and colors as rich, as in any Salpiglossis. Mixed. 
Pkt., 15c. 
Balsam, Bush-Flowered, Torch See page 3 
SALVIA, Blaze of Fire 
Decidedly earlier, dwarfer, and of a more intense 
scarlet than any other Salvia, Blaze of Fire is at 
once the best Scarlet Sage, and, by virtue of its 
compact habit and intense color, the most bril¬ 
liant spring and summer bedding annual avail¬ 
able. Pkt., 35c. 
SCABIOSA, Salmon Beauty 
The first pure salmon-pink Scabiosa, with all the 
size of flower and vigor of growth of its slightly- 
older and decidedly-popular deep salmon-rose 
sister, Loveliness. If you have not grown Sca- 
biosas recently, you will be pleasantly surprised 
at the great changes that have been made in the 
old pincushion flower, or “Mourning Bride.” Pkt., 
25c. 
TITHONIA, Speciosa grandiflora, Fireball 
A new Mexican Sunflower, entirely eclipsing the 
older variety in richness and brilliancy of color, 
Fireball brings the late fall garden its most 
striking color note—fiery orange-scarlet. Even the 
foliage is better, the wooly, gray-green leaves 
furnishing the stiff, eight-foot plants neatly dur¬ 
ing the blooming season, which is October 15th 
until killing frosts. Do not sow before April 1st. 
Pkt., 25c. 
ZINNIA, Gaillardia-flowered, Navajo 
Closely resembling the Double Gaillardia with its 
two-toned flowers in many attractive combinations, 
this neat semi-dwarf Zinnia, with flowers about 
the size of the “Cut-and-Comes,” gives the sum¬ 
mer gardener an entirely new bedding or cutting 
flower. Mixed colors. Pkt., 15c. See cut, page 47.
