tf-lawe/i c>eed 
The bulk of the flower seeds that are used in the world, no matter where one may buy 
them, are grown by flower seed specialists in Southern California, on great farms devoted 
to the growing of flower seeds only. 
California has the best soil and the best climate in the world for this purpose. No 
better flower seeds are grown anywhere. The great bulk of our seed is grown by the 
world-known firm of Bodger’s and better seed than they grow cannot be purchased.

Calendula 
DOUBLE ORANGE SUNSHINE. (New). In this or¬ 
ange variety we have the same flower form and dainty 
incurved petals as we have in Golden Sunshine, or 
Calendula Chrysantha. In fact, it is the same beau¬ 
tiful flower except in color which is a clear light 
orange. Pkt., 25c. 
ORANGE SHAGGY. (All-America Gold Medal 1934). 
A distinct break in Calendulas. Petals long and 
deeply fringed. Row after row of these fringed petals 
overlap each other in a somewhat regular manner and 
build up and give the bloom the shaggy appearance 
of a Chrysanthemum. The color is a delightful two- 
tone deep orange, shading lighter at center. Pkt., 15c. 
Coreopsis 
DOUBLE SUNBURST. This is one of Bodger’s newest 
things. A pleasant change from the old single type 
of Coreopsis. This is a double with flowers 3 to 3 Vl 
inches across. Deep golden yellow, very early, and 
excellent because of their long stems for cutting. 
Pkt., 15c. 
Cosmos 
EARLY KLONDYKE ORANGE FLARE. The judges 
(1934 All-America Selections) unanimously awarded 
this grand new flower, Grand Champion Gold Medal 
for the season, the most sensational new flower of the 
year. Stems long and wiry hold the vivid orange flow¬ 
ers far above the foliage, giving the plant a mass of 
color. In full bloom four months after planting. 
Pkt., 15c. 
SENSATION. (A. M. A. A. S. ’36). This Cosmos, 
the seed of which we sent out two years ago, is com¬ 
ing into its own. By careful selection it is coming 
more true each passing year. Some of the plants still 
give ordinary sized blooms but the majority now give 
the great large 4- to 5-inch blooms for which it is 
noted. Pkt., 15c. 
SENSATION, Pinkie and Purity. These are selec¬ 
tions out of Sensation which were sent out last year 
as a mixture. Pinkie is a beautiful rose-pink and 
Purity is a pure white. Both bear immense flowers 4 
to 5 inches or more in diameter, making them the 
best things we have in single Cosmos in separate 
colors. Either variety, pkt., 15c. 
Coreopsis, Sunburst 
Cuphea 
FIREFLY. A new plant. Firefly has all that is needed 
in a dwarf, compact plant. The flowers are small and 
delicately formed, fiery cerise in color, and are freely 
produced on compact plants which are about 10 inches 
high. The general effect of the plant is that of a ball 
of fire. Pkt., 25c. 
Hollyhock 
BODGER'S ANNUAL DOUBLE SCARLET BEAUTY. 
A full double Hollyhock of the Chater type which 
will flower in four months from the time the seed is 
sown. Sow seed in spring and have Hollyhocks the 
same summer. Color an intense pure brilliant scarlet.

Larkspur 
CORAL KING (Giant Imperial Larkspur). New. A 
new color never before seen in Larkspur—blush-pink, 
with a strong suffusion of coral which deepens and 
gets richer as the flowers mature. A lovely pale coral- 
pink with a salmon tint. Pkt., 15c. 
ROSAMOND. (Gold Medal All-America). An en¬ 
tirely new color in Larkspur. A pure bright rose 
which has been entirely lacking in Larkspur before. 
Four feet tall; many spikes heavily covered with full 
double flowers. Pkt., 15c. 
WHITE KING. (Giant Imperial Larkspur). The finest 
introduction in new Giant Imperial Larkspur for years. 
An immense white with florets measuring as much as 
2 inches across. The outstanding white Larkspur of 
a decade. Pkt., 15c. 
Marigold, Sunset Giants 
Marigold 
CROWN OF GOLD was the only Gold Medal winner 
in the "All-America Selections" last year. It is a 
beautiful Marigold with no trace of the Marigold 
odor in the foliage, stems, or flowers. The beginning 
of a new race of odorless Marigolds. Pkt. 10c. 
DIXIE SUNSHINE. The new Marigold—the flower 
novelty sensation for 1936. From the Land of Dixie 
to your garden, comes this most beautiful Marigold. 
Large ball-shaped flowers, composed of dozens of tiny 
5-petalled florets, daintily fringed and petalled. Bril¬ 
liant golden yellow. Pkt., 10c. 
GIGANTEA, SUNSET GIANTS. The new 1936 Mari¬ 
gold, the largest sized Marigold ever known. Flow¬ 
ers average five inches and some specimens measure 
7 Yi inches. Not only is it very large but it pro¬ 
duces so many flowers as to cover the plant. But 
most remarkable, instead of the usual Marigold odor 
this flower has a decidedly sweet fragrance, something 
long desired in a Marigold. Pkt., 15c. 
HARMONY. One of the finest Marigolds ever intro¬ 
duced. The flowers are distinct, scabiosa-like in for¬ 
mation with tubular deep orange central petals bor¬ 
dered with broad velvety dark maroon-brown guard 
petals. Plants are dwarf, about a foot high. Bloom 
about June 1st and all summer. Pkt., 10c. 
ROYAL SCOT. This is the most striking Marigold 
yet introduced. Plants 24 to 30 inches high. Large 
perfectly formed blooms in a charming color com¬ 
bination of mahogany and gold, radiating in sym¬ 
metrical stripes from center of flower. Pkt., 10c. 
YELLOW SUPREME. Gold Medal ’35, A.A.S. A de¬ 
lightful light golden yellow companion for the deeper 
colored Guinea Gold. A delightful lemon-yellow and 
one of the real outstanding Marigolds. Pkt., 10c. 
The New Nasturtiums 
DOUBLE SCARLET GLEAM. (All-America 1933 
Gold Medal). The most remarkable of all the Nas¬ 
turtiums. When well grown it appears a complete 
double. The most intense dazzling red color one 
could imagine in a flower, as bright a red as Scarlet 
Sage. Pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE GLEAM HYBRIDS. (Award of Merit). Fine, 
large, well-formed, sweet-scented flowers of the same 
type as Golden Gleam, in an evenly assorted blend 
of glorious brilliant shades of salmon, golden yellow, 
orange-scarlet, cerise, cream, yellow, maroon, and 
spotted varieties. Pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE GOLDEN GLEAM. Few new flowers have 
been received with as much favor everywhere as this 
new double sweet-scented golden yellow Nasturtium. 
As easy to grow as the common kinds. Pkt., 10c. 
ORANGE GLEAM. A new selection out of the double 
sweet scented Gleam Hybrids. Very large, uniformly 
double and extremely free flowering, with a color that 
is entirely new in Nasturtiums—a deep glowing golden 
orange, with a deeper shading at the throat. Pkt., 10c. 
1 Each of the Above 4 Nasturtiums, Value 40c, for 35c.
