FLOWER SEEDS FOR 1938 
Of the varieties offered under this heading most are new and recent introductions. 
Others are especially meritorious varieties having won their leadership by outstand¬ 
ing advantages over older or similar varieties. 
Aster, Super Giant El Monte 
We believe this is the only really large flovA/ered 
crimson Aster. The flowers of deep, glowing crim¬ 
son are extremely large and fluffy, borne on heavy 
stems. It is very early flowering and remains in 
bloom over a long period. We urge you to try this 
splendid new Aster. Pkt. 20c, 2 pkts. 35c, Vs 
oz. 50c. 
Aster, Super Giant El Monte 
Antirrhinum, New Rust Proof 
Maximum Flowered 
Ever since the introduction of Rust Proof Antir¬ 
rhinum Mixed, the flower loving public have hoped 
for separate colors of the Maximum flowered, tall 
growing Snapdragon, as we speak of them. It will 
be good news to you that we can now offer 7 very 
desirable colors in the ever popular Maximum 
strain of absolutely rust proof types. 
Apple Blossom. Rosy pink, yellow lip. 
Canary Bird. Canary yellow, golden yellow center. 
Alaska. Pure white. 
Red Cross. Deep, rich crimson. 
Copper King. Bronzy copper. 
Loveliness. Soft rose pink. 
Purple King. Deep garnet. 
Any of the above. Pkt. 15c, 2 pkts. 25c, Vs oz. 
50c. 1 pkt. each of the 7 colors for 90c. 
Choice Mixed. Pkt. 10c, Vs oz. 35c. 
Calendula, Orange Sunshine 
Orange Sunshine has already demonstrated its 
worth as both a cutting and garden variety. The 
artistically formed, golden orange flowers, 3 to 4 
inches in diameter with prettily incurved center 
petals and broad, gracefully curled outer petals, 
will make this, we believe, a popular addition to 
the Calendula family. Pkt. 15c, V 4 oz. 25c.
