NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1938 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
‘DELPHINIUM 
1485—PRIDE OF THE 
GARDEN 
Wrexham Strain Mixed, latest 
and highest development of the 
Hollyhock type of delphinium on 
the market today. The size of 
the flowers are 1*4 to 2 inches 
in diameter. They come in color 
combinations of blue, white and 
pink, many of them bicolor, 
making a beautiful flower. A 
large proportion of them are 
double. Pkt. 15c. 
‘DELPHINIUM 
1488—BLACKMORE & LANG- 
DON’S GOLD MEDAL STRAIN 
We believe there is no other 
strain on the market today that 
is in the class with this variety. 
For this variety has been 
granted hundreds of medal and 
prize awards. We are proud to 
announce that we have the seeds 
of this wonderful strain. The 
flower spikes, you can see by the 
acompanying illustration are ex¬ 
tremely heavy with flowers. The 
height of this variety is 4 to 614 
feet. The colors are from the 
palest lavender to the richest 
blue, some with white centers, 
others with black, reminding one 
of bees at work. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD 
2035—GIGANTEA SUNSET GIANTS 
For many years we have had calls for a 
sweet fragrant Marigold. At last we have 
it. The flowers are the largest ever known 
in the Marigold group, averaging 5 inches 
in diameter and growing to a height of 3 to 
4 feet with heavy growth of foliage with 
six to eight heavy branches, each branch 
bearing three to five large flowers. Sunset 
Giants is a mixture ranging from deep 
orange through golden orange, deep golden 
yellow, light yellow, and a delightful new 
shade of primrose. The strain comes from 
60 to 65 per cent double. We are confident 
that Sunset Giants will take its place in the 
front rank of the Marigold family. Pkt. 15c. 
POPPY 
2578—NUDICAULE THE EMPRESS 
(Grower’s Description) 
Our new Nudicaule Poppy, The Empress, 
is truly queen of the Iceland Poppy family. 
Distinct from all other strains, it is re¬ 
markable first for flower form—large, full, 
well-formed flowers, with broad overlapping 
petals deeply fluted or wrinkled, giving an 
effect almost of doubleness, an illusion which 
is most delightful. Secondly, the color range 
is unique—lovely shades of salmon rose and 
creamy pinks never before seen in Nudicaule 
Poppies, fascinating tones to intrigue the 
imagination. The flowers are carried on 
good strong stems, which make them fine for 
cutting. Pkt. 15c.
