BUTZER’S SEED STORE, 
★DAISY 
Daisy, or Beilis Perennis—Plants of Double Daisy 
will bloom the first summer and will continue to bloom 
for years if given slight protection during the winter. 
They are very pretty when in bloom, and deserve to be 
grown much more than they are. They commence 
blooming in April and continue to bloom until summer. 
They are not very particular as to soil, but should be 
grown where they have partial shade.

1475—NEW GIANT DOUBLE WHITE 
This strain includes an assortment of various types 
of double flowers ranging from the most fully double 
fringed petaled sorts through semi-doubles, to a type 
which, though single, forms unusual and beautifully 
shaped flowers with lacinated, curled and quilled pet¬ 
als. The flowers are large and carried on long wiry 
stems. Pkt. 15c. 
★DATURA

over, but for early blooming sow in hotbed and trans¬ 
plant about three feet apart each way. Roots can be 
kept all winter in cellars. Tender annual; three feet 
high.

★DELPHINIUM 
Delphinium—Hardy Larkspur. Very decorative bor¬ 
der plants ranging in height from the 18-inch Cash- 
merianum to the stately Hybrids, 5 to 6 feet tall, 
whose side shoots flower after the main spike has fin¬ 
ished, thus prolonging the blooming period. If the 
flower spikes are removed as soon as they fade, new 
ones will continue to appear, at intervals all summer. 
The colors run from pure white to darkest blue. Some 
varieties have a black center, others show a pleasing 
contrast, in shades of blue, between the inner and 
outer petals. Stake all varieties when 18 inches high 
to prevent them from blowing down.

DIMORPHOTHECA 
(Star of the Yelt, 
African Daisy) 
Most of us know the Af¬ 
rican Daisies and have ad¬ 
mired their bright blossoms 
which are among the earliest 
to come in the spring. In 
a border or massed bed they 
are delightful, but for a 
really gorgeous display of 
colors in contrast, plant 
them with bedding Petunias. 
The showiest effect is ob¬ 
tained by using mixed colors 
of African Daisies, and the 
dark shades bedding mix¬ 
ture of Petunias, sowing the seed broadcast or Betting 
out the plants informally, giving the appearance of 
being broadcast. The effect is startlingly beautiful 
and this bed or border will be the showiest spot in the 
garden. Dimorphothecas thrive in the hottest climates, 
so they can be grown in any part of the country, or in 
the hottest corners of the garden. 
Aurantiaca Dimorphotheca (Veldt)—1 ft. Rare and 
very showy annual from South Africa, having daisy¬ 
like flowers of a glossy salmon-orange shade with

1549—Double Mixed. Pkt. 10c. 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA 
Eschscholtzia, or California Poppy—A hardy annual, 
with fine-cut, feathery foliage and beautiful velvety 
cup-shaped flowers. Grows from one to one and a half 
feet high, and blooms profusely. Seed may be sown in 
the fall, and any time thereafter till April, and blos- 
osms may be had from early in January till late in
