Ageratum, "Fairy Pink" 
Ageratum Fairy Pink is a dwarf compact Ageratum of a delightful 
soft salmon-rose-pink color. It begins blooming when not more than 
iy 2 or 2 inches high and continues to grow until it has formed a solid 
compact mass of blooms. Its maximum height when it is in full bloom 
is not greater than 5 inches. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Balsam, Double Bush-Flowered, "Torch" 
Calliopsis 
"Golden Crown" 
Enlarged Drummondi type of or¬ 
ange-yellow or gold, some with extra 
rows of petals. Flowers are produced 
on wiry stems about 12 inches in 
length and excellent for cutting. Very 
fragrant and excellent for garden an I 
commercial use. Award of Merit 1937 
All-America Selections. Fkt., 25c. 
Balsam, Double Bush-Flowered "Torch" 
Bush-flowered Balsams are really not recent novelties, but they are 
not at all well known in this country, so to most of the gardening public 
are actually in the novelty class. Unlike the taller growing Balsams, 
the flowers in the little bush-flowered type are carried at the tips of 
the stems, making a show of color 
rather than of foliage. The plants 
a are 8 to 10 inches in height, very 
compact and literally covered with 
their double flowers. The variety 
“Torch,” is a penetrating vermilion- 
red and very showy. Useful as an 
edging plant in your rock garden, or 
in window boxes and flower pots. Pkt., 
20c; 3 for 50c. 
Chrysanthemum 
"Golden Crown" 
Golden Crown is a hardy annual, 
having a very robust constitution, 
making vigorous strong well-branched 
plants 3 to 4 feet in height. The flow¬ 
ers are produced so freely that one 
p’ant will carry as many as 50 to 60 
blooms. The foliage is of an attrac¬ 
tive silvery green, contrasting with 
the bright double butter-yellow flow¬ 
ers. The most outstanding feature of 
this novelty is the formation of the 
flowers. The petals are quilled, which 
has a beautifying effect. Fkt., 25c. 
Calendula 
"Orange Fantasy" 
A new type and distinct. The first 
few rows of petals on the outside are 
long and beautifully twisted; the in¬ 
ner petals are short and fantastically 
curled and interlaced, piling up on top 
of each other in irregular fashion so 
as to form a heavy crest which sur¬ 
rounds a large, attractive, mahogany- 
bronze center. Flowers grow 3% 
inches across and are of an excep¬ 
tionally deep but pleasing bronzy or 
coppery orange with petals edged deep 
mahogany-red. The plant grows 15 
inches tall. Award of Merit 1937 All- 
America Selections. Fkt., 25c. 
Calendula, "Orange Fantasy" 
New V. & R. Delphinium 
This new hand-pollinated strain of Delphiniums grown by Vetterle 
and Reinelt of California, are claimed to be mildew-resistant with fine 
large spikes and large flowers, holding their flowers over a long period. 
We offer this strain in the Giant Double Pacific Hybrids, including 
Lavender, Violet and Blue Shades. Fkt., 40c; 1/16 oz., $1.50. 
Cuphea, "Firefly" 
A newcomer this season, Firefly has all the characteristics needed 
in a dwarf, compact plant. The flowers are small and delicately formed, 
fiery cerise-red in color, and are freely produced on compact plants 
which reach a height of about 10 inches. The general effect of a plant 
when in full bloom is a ball of fire, recommending itself at once for 
the rockery, window boxes, flower pots or for the border or to be used 
for edging. An annual blooming in 10 to 12 weeks from seed and will 
bloom profusely throughout the summer months. Fkt., 25c. 
Dimorphotheca, "Orange Glory" 
This is a much improved strain of the form originally introduced 
several years ago from South Africa. It was then of a rather straggly 
growth, but by careful cultivation and selection the plant has been 
practically transformed and though still of a prostrate habit the plants 
are comparatively compact in shape. The pure bright orange starlike 
flowers are produced in greater profusion than those of Dimorphotheca 
Aurantiaca, they attain a diameter of 2 to 2% inches, and make a splendid 
display during the summer months; highly recommended as an excellent 
plant for bedding purposes. Fkt., 25c. 
Helipterum Anthemoides 
This very attractive everlasting flower produces myriads of miniature 
pure white blooms about half an inch in diameter. It is so free flowering 
that at first the whole energy of the plant seems to be directed towards 
producing blooms, to the practical exclusion of foliage. There are some¬ 
times as many as thirty or forty flowers to be found on a single stem. 
Not only will this variety prove an asset to the herbaceous border, but 
it will quickly become popular as a cut flower. Hardy perennial. Height 
15 Inches. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c.
