Linaria, "Fairy Rose" 
The Linaria has made such strides in popular favor in late years that the intro¬ 
duction of Fairy RQse will be welcome. The newcomer presents a pleasing tone of 
rosy pink, just tinted with a delicate lilac. Height about 7 to 8 inches. It is quite 
floriferous and will doubtless prove an excellent variety for summer bedding. 
Fkt., 25c. 
Marigold, Collarette "King's Ransom" 
Like Crown of Gold the foliage is entirely odorless. Flowers are of nearly 
the same form as Crown of Gold. The collar is a little less conspicuous and 
the crown slightly larger. They grow 2 */2 to 3 inches across and are of a 
glowing, bright golden orange shade, a delightful tone midway between orange 
and yellow. Plants grow about 2 feet tall; quite branching with dense, deep 
green, odorless foliage. Fkt., 25c. 
Helipterum Anthemoides 
Marigold, Collarette "Yellow Crown" 
Foliage is entirely odorless, as in Crown of Gold. Flowers are like Crown 
of Gold in form. The crown or crest is made up of many artistically cut, 
curled and interlaced florets resembling miniature Chrysanthemums. The 
collar is composed of broad, overlapping, recurving petals. Both collar and 
crown are of a clean, refreshing, cheerful, bright, canary-yellow color. Plants 
grow about 20 inches tall. Fkt., 25c. 
Microsperma, "Golden Tassel" 
Growing not more than 8 or 9 inches high, forms a compact plant of perfect 
shape with handsome light green foliage strikingly like that of a Chinese 
Primula. The upright-growing bright chrome-yellow flowers, consisting of a 
graceful five-lobed trumpet-shaped corolla 2 inches across, are adorned with a 
multitude of similar colored stamens, which add greatly to their beauty and 
give them an original charm. This beautiful plant is suited for greenhouse 
decoration and should do well in the open border. Sowings should be made 
inside about the end of February or March, the seedlings repotted and put 
out-of-doors at the end of May. Fkt., 25c. 
This very pleasing hardy 
annual Lupin has flowers of a 
very soft and attractive shade 
of pure rose-pink. The centers 
of the flower standards carry 
a golden yellow shading when 
young, which gradually deep¬ 
ens to a helio-tone. The 
blooms are very sweet-scent¬ 
ed, and contrast admirably 
with the typical lupin-like 
foliage. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Lupinus, "Attraction" 
Marigold, "Golden West" 
A new carnation-flowered Marigold; earlier, 
larger, and more floriferous than Guinea Gold. 
Flowers are fully double, bright rich orange, 
3 y 2 inches and more across, with petals loose- 
lyand gracefully placed. The inner petals are 
cupped upward while the outer ones curve 
downward. Petals are of wonderful substance 
so that the flowers last well when cut. Plants 
grow about 2 y 2 feet tall and as they branch 
very freely from near the base, the stems are 
quite long and the flowers are to be had along 
the sides as well as on top. Fkt., 25c. 
Marigold, Collarette 
"Crown of Gold" 
An entirely new type of Marigold, develop- 
. ed in California. The crown or top part of the 
Russell Lupins flower resembles a Chrysanthemum in forma¬ 
tion and is made up of long, disc petals that 
beautifully interlace. The crown and the col¬ 
larette of big, broad petals which surround it are of a bright, pleasing shade 
of clear golden orange. The color holds even when the flowers are old. 
The flowers of the new Collarette Marigold, Crown of Gold, are slightly 
sweet-scented and the foliage is entirely free of the usual Marigold odor, so 
objectionable to many. This is the first Marigold in cultivation with entirely 
odorless foliage. Plants grow about 2 feet, bloom early, and are very floriferous. 
Fkt., 10c; y 8 oz., 25c. 
Russell Lupins 
This new strain of perennial Lupins, as 
in horticultural circles. Raised 
by Mr. G. Russell of York, 
England, and are the results 
of twenty years work of a lit¬ 
tle known gardener whose 
name is likely to become a 
byword amongst flower lov¬ 
ers. Awarded the Royal Horti¬ 
cultural Society’s Gold Medal, 
June, 1937. The long closely 
furnished spikes flower in a 
great variety of rich colors, 
deep yellows, oranges, reds 
and brilliant bicolors never 
seen in Lupins..-' before. The 
flowers are large with flat fan¬ 
like back-standards, and un¬ 
like all other Lupins, most of 
the spikes retain their flowers 
throughout the whole period 
of the development. Fkt. of 12
