FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES for 1938 
ASTER 
OSTRICH PLUME, TRIUMPH OF THE MARKET, ha. 
In this splendid novelty we feel we are offering an Aster which 
represents the Beau Ideal of this type. The immense flowers 
measure up to 6 to 7 inches across, are of almost globular form, 
with remarkably full centers, and are borne on very long and 
strong stems, often 18 inches or more in length. Exceed in size 
and beauty the California Giants, and are much earlier than the 
latter variety. Sold in four colors: 
Azure-Blue. Pkt. 50 cts. Rose. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Crimson. Pkt. 50 cts. White. Pkt. 50 cts. 
COLLECTION: One each of the 4 colors, $1.50 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
GOLDEN CROWN, ha. 
This has the robust constitution of the Coronarium varieties, 
making vigorous, strong, well-branched plants 3 to 4 feet in 
height. The flowers are produced so freely that one plant could 
carry as many as 50 to 60 blooms. Foliage is attractive, silvery 
green, contrasting admirably with the bright butter-yellow 
flowers. The formation of the flower is the outstanding feature 
of this novelty. Petals are quilled and, as will be seen from the 
illustration, this quilling has a beautifying effect. Pkt. 35 cts.; 
3 pkts. $1. 
Triumph of the Market Aster 
GYPSOPHILA CERASTIOIDES. HP. 
Forms dwarf, grassy cushions and is very free flowering. In May and June the thick, broad, downy cushions are converted 
into floral ones by masses of white blooms. The pure white petals and the flowers are striped with a thin purple vein running 
toward the center. A jewel for sunny parts of rock-gardens. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Golden Crown Chrysanthemums 
LEPTOSYNE 
GOLDEN ROSETTE, ha. 
This double form of Leptosyne Stillmanni is sure of a welcome from 
all amateur and professional flower growers. It is of easy culture, and 
will succeed almost anywhere. The color is bright butter-yellow, and 
the blooms are produced in the greatest possible profusion. As a cut- 
flower, Golden Rosette will be found admirable, and it is difficult to 
think of its equal in yellow annuals. Flowers within ten weeks of 
sowing, and blooms throughout the summer. Pkt. 35 cts.; 3 pkts. $1. 
NASTURTIUM 
DOUBLE INDIAN CHIEF. HA. 
In this new variety of Double Nasturtium we offer a novelty which 
we believe will rapidly become as popular as Golden Gleam, surpassing 
all other varieties which have been introduced recently. Indian Chief 
has dark foliage like Fireball in the single section, and its vivid scarlet 
flowers are equally as bright as that variety. The contrast of flower 
and foliage is similar to that found in Bishop of Llandaff dahlias. 
Blooms are sweetly scented and freely produced. We recommend this 
variety with every confidence. Pkt. 35 cts.; 3 pkts. $1. 
NEMESIA 
BRIGHTNESS, hha. 
A novelty of outstanding merit, the color being a brilliant cherry- 
red. Makes a vivid display when planted in masses. Height 9 inches. 
Pkt. 50 cts.
