BUTZER’S SEED STORE, PORTLAND, OREGON 
SCABIOSA 
(Mourning Bride, Sweet 
Scabious, Pin-cushion 
Flower, etc.) 
These are firm favorites 
with many of our customers. 
Seed can be sown any time 
in the spring, after danger 
of frost is past. They grow 
about 2% feet high, and 
come into bloom early in 
July, and continue without 
interruption until hard Irost. 
The beautiful flowers in ex¬ 
quisite shades are borne on 
long stems, and when cut 
keep in perfect condition for the best part of a week. 
They make effective borders or beds, and no garden is 
complete without Scabiosas, especially where flowers 
are wanted for cutting.

*SCABIOSA (Perennial) 
Perennial Scabiosas are of great value in the gar¬ 
den. They are in bloom from June to October, require 
little space and thrive in ordinary soil. The graceful 
flowers in delicate shades of blue and lavender are 
borne on long, erect stems and are a valuable cut 
flower. 
2845—Caucasica New Hybrids—A collection of new 
shades in this well-known perennial family. Pkt. 25c. 
SCHIZANTHUS 
Butterfly or Fringe Flower 
Very popular charming annuals, very decorative for 
garden beds and indispensable for pot plants for the 
house, where, by successive sowings, a continuous dis¬ 
play may be enjoyed almost all the year around. The 
plants are compact, 1 to 1% feet high, and their 
florescence is such as to completely obscure the foliage, 
making them veritable pyramids of dainty, airy, but¬ 
terfly-like flowers. The seeds germinate very quickly 
and the plants come into bloom a few weeks from 
sowing. 
2855—Hybridus Grandiflorus—1 ft. (The Poor Man’s 
Orchid.) Neat pyramidal bushes covered with a mul¬ 
titude of small butterfly-like flowers of the most bril¬ 
liant and striking color designs. Pkt. 10c. 
2858—Wisetonensis—1*4 ft. A charming annual with 
graceful fern-like foliage and a profusion of flowers 
varying from almost white with yellow eye to a bril¬ 
liant rose with bronzy brown center. A really beauti¬ 
ful subject for the flower border from seed raised in 
February, and for winter decoration in greenhouse 
from seed raised in May and June. Pkt. 10c. 
2864—Mixed—All colors. Pkt. 5c; % oz. 15c. 
2866—GRANDIFLORA BUTTERFLY MIXTURE 
containing a full range of all shades and color com¬ 
binations, is the best all around strain for bedding 
use. It is a strikingly bright mixture, with large 
flowers beautifully marked, on compact, free flower¬ 
ing 12 to 15 inch pyramidal plants. Pkt. 20c. 
2870-SCHIZANTHUS SUNSET HYBRIDS 
This carefully bred strain is the result of our years 
of endeavor to produce an arrestingly bright strain, 
of this ever popular flower. Sunset Hybrids is the ac¬ 
complishment of this ideal, a well-balanced blend con¬ 
sisting of bright red and carmine shades, each but- 
terfly-like flower delicately marked with gold or white. 
The two foot plants are covered with a mass of 
flowers, which are excellent for cutting. One of the 
most easily grown garden annuals, it is also fine for 
pot plant use. Pkt. 15c. 
SNAPDRAGON 
(Antirrhinum) 
Without question one of 
the most desirable flowers 
for general garden culture. 
They come in a great variety 
of colors and are equally 
good for bouquets as for 
mass planting. They are 
biennials, but can be handled 
as annuals also. When sown 
in early May they bloom in 
July and then until frost. 
If covered slightly they will 
come through the winter 
nicely and bloom abundantly 
the second year. For very 
early flowers start in the house and transplant out¬ 
doors when weather is favorable. 
Tall Maximum or Giants—32 inches 
This is the newest creation in Giant Antirrhinums, 
and is a marked advance over the older Tall Large 
Flowered type in size and brilliancy of color. The 
flowers are closely placed on the stems. 
* 2890—Apple Blossom—Rosy pink, yellow lip. 
2893—Copper King—Velvety copper scarlet. 
2896—Old Gold—Deep golden yellow.

MAJESTIC SUPER GIANT 
Half Dwarf Sorts 
Majestic Antirrhinums are characterized by having 
the largest possible florets closely spaced in large 
spikes on a medium tall plant. The flowers are the 
largest of any type, with far better spacing than that 
found in any other type. They have been proven the 
best for both cut flowers and borders and will, no 
doubt, supersede the other strains when a complete 
color range has been developed. So far, the colors run 
principally to the orange and terra cotta shades, which 
are, of course, favorites in Antirrhinums. 
2915—Eldorado—Deep golden yellow, the richest 
tint to date in this family. Pkt. 15c. 
2918—Golden Dawn—Golden buff overlaid salmon. 
Pkt. 15c

a rosy salmon. Pkt. 15c.

as they require no staking. 
2938—Black Prince—Nearly black, small dark 
leaves. Pkt. 10c. 
NEW RUST-PROOF GIANT 
SNAPDRAGONS 
Rust-Proof Snapdragons have always been wanted 
by florists and home gardeners. With the creation of 
these new strains, which produce plants 75% or more, 
immune to rust, a great advancement in breeding for 
disease resistance has been made, and it is only a 
matter of a short time before strains will be offered 
that will be 100% immune. With rust possibility 
eliminated. Snapdragons will become more popular 
than ever, just as wilt-resistant strains have made 
Asters so popular. 
2940—Majus Grand. Fiery Red—As its name sug¬ 
gests, this is a fiery red, quite a lovely color. This 
variety varies in its shades of deep ruby to ruby, suf¬ 
fused with orange. Pkt. 25c. 
2950—Majus Grand. Orange Shades—Lovely shades, 
running from deep to light orange. Every flower 
lover will want this one in their flower garden. This 
is quite a new color in Snapdragons. Pkt. 25c.
