leafy, seeming to give all its strength to the flowers, 
which are freely borne on stems 12 to IS in. long. 
Plants are of open, spreading habit, lyi ft. tall and 
about 2 ft. across. Extreme earliness and good cutting- 
stems make Violet Glory a most welcome, new type

2017 Creamy Crinkles 
Creamy Crinkles, as the name implies, has a rich creaminess 
in the color and texture of its flowers which are also delight¬ 
fully crinkled. It is one of the most double and crinkled of 
all Eschscholtzias. The general color effect is soft apricot- 
buff, but the sunlight and shadows cast by the crinkles and 
extra petals add warmth to the buff, making it appear as a 
rich primrose-yellow. Creamy Crinkles is a charming 
flower with delicacy in form and color, 1>^ to 2 in. across, 
freely borne on dwarf, well-branched, erect plants 1 ft. high. 
Ideal for cut flowers; excellent for mass plantings in beds or 
borders. As the flowers expand, they resemble semi-double 
climbing roses in the center of which lies a cluster of brighter 
yellow and brown curly anthers. 
Pkt. 25$^; 2 pkts. 45^; Vie oz. 75^. 
2054 Delighfful 
A soft delicate tone and a hush pervade the golden apricot 
cups of ^chscholtzia Delightful set in the feathery back¬ 
ground of their silvery bluish green leaves. Inside the cup 
is a glow of apricot-orange, outside a sheen of silver. Not 
brilliant, but warm and silky, the flowers lend a smoothness 
to the air around them. They grow fully 3 in. across and 
are borne most profusely on sturdy, erect plants, 15 in. high 
and 10 to 12 in. across. So uniform is the growth that a 
row of "Delightful” looks like a small, leatly trimmed 
hedge. The erect habit of the plants, with the profuse mass 
of large flowers produced on top, lends much to their useful¬ 
ness in both massed beds and borders. One of the most 
attractive for garden or cut-flower use. 
Pkt. 25^; 2 pkts. 45^; Yxe oz. 75^.
